Princess Kate by far the most popular.Chuck not so much.Saw on Youtube shorts, Kate at a thing, and time to take pictures.She was not as close to the gang as she wanted to be, so she did a little heel and toe shuffle to move over.Latest UK dance craze! The Princess Shuffle!

It's all bullshit based on some mythical FBI document that a "whistleblower" has spoke of to someone, somewhere, with nothing even close to a valid chain of custody to support it.

Discus just marked an edited version of my story about how rappelling window washers interrupted an industrial-grade pumping session for my twins as "spam". I was hooked up like a dairy cow, working on my computer, and facing the window, and didn't even blink. Everyone in the world had seen my boobs at that point - a nursing mother has more boob-exposure than a lot of porn stars.

You all missed out on a funny story. Fuck you, Discus.

I never understood what the issue with breastfeeding in public spaces was in the first place.

that it's now on the books and that privacy is guaranteed is wonderful, though. don't get me wrong.

There is nothing sad about JHB losing her seat. One good bill aside, JHB is and was a piece of shit.

I don't care about any of them particularly, but if they want to continue the whole "royal" thing, then Charles could have done a lot of good by just skipping over himself and passing it to William.

William might not have a lot of charisma, but Kate and their kids would have been more fun. Charles has all of the energy of a random person's big toe.

I'm trying to imagine being rich enough to be able to afford 5 packs (100 smokes!!!!!) a day. Holy wah.

They wanted to be sure no one forgot and left the curtain open or would feel creeped out still having the mirror there.

People get so weirdly freaked out by it. I remember nursing one of my kids in the exam room at my (GP) doctor's office, when he came in and freaked out. My doctor!

what I find almost comical is how all the "omg congratulations what a little cutie" stops all of a sudden as soon as it's feeding time.

Which is AOT,K. How many adult men still think you can't pee with a tampon in?

Meh, not the first time a new King isn't that popular. Look up the early Georges. At least Charles speaks English.

I'm hoping we might at least get some good music out of it.

The last time around, Sir William Walton wrote a Te Deum and the Orb and Scepter coronation march for QEII. Since then, two generations of prominent British tunesmiths have died of old age, so the new bags are unknown to me, even by name.

I don't know what would be an appropriate title for a coronation march these days. The Long, Slow Downward Slide? That might, at least, provide a showpiece for the trombone section.

That’s a pretty swanky pod in that pic there! I think it’s silly how people are so prudish and squeamish about boobs as baby bottles but totally fine with them being sex objects. I imagine there will be another wave of people screaming about women being in the workplace at all, because see how disruptive their basic bodily functions are to productivity blahblahblah. Just want to point out how frequently men disappear into a toilet and camp out. Lol. But yeah, feeding babies with boobies is scandalous!

Btw, breast feeding babies saves money over time, with the cost of formula but also including later in life with overall health, when their immune systems are challenged. Every little bit helps.
