You might be overthinking this a bit. Isn’t it just bog standard shorthand used when reporting on foreign affairs? Like: “Beijing responded that Trump is a cunt and he can shove his tariffs up his hole.”

I mean maybe, just strikes me now how it helps the narrative.

Detective Munch

Munch has become the only fictional character, played by a single actor, to physically appear on 10 different television series. These shows were on five different networks: NBC ( Homicide: Life on the Street , Law & Order , Law & Order: Special Victims Unit , Law & Order: Trial by Jury , and 30 Rock ); Fox ( The X-Files and Arrested Development ); UPN ( The Beat ); HBO ( The Wire ) and ABC ( Jimmy Kimmel Live! ). Munch has been one of the few television characters to cross genres, appearing not only in crime drama series, but sitcom ( Arrested Development ), late night comedy ( Jimmy Kimmel Live! ) and horror and science fiction ( The X-Files ).

Today I finally spotted I could switch to album cover mode:

Just realised Theranos is a thing and not some kind of humourous Theresa May/Thanos play on words.

I got an E, so it wouldn’t have taken me long. If I’d known that I would have been almost a year ahead of everyone, I would have gone on to do it at university. :grinning:

It only occurred to me the other day that while listening to music at work through one earphone, that I was only getting half of the stereo mix. And sure enough, Android has a setting (in the accessibility bit, rather than sound) for making audio mono so that you get both the left and right channels through one earphone.

This is understandable IMO due to how Born in the USA sounds superficially like a very pro US bro sort of track. I think his anthems were often used in the UK to sort of set up “America”. I didn’t realise he was left wing until maybe 10 years back.

One that occured to me yesterday: the age of majority is when you stop being a minor!
