His menacing words toward Mark Milley and Letitia James should not be shrugged off Margaret Sullivan / Guardian UK 06 October 23 Twice in the past two weeks, Donald Trump has suggested violent consequences for those who dare to cross him. Mark Milley, the outgoing chairman of the joint chiefs of staff? He deserves to be executed, Trump charged. Milley's backchannel communications, intended to reassure Chinese military leaders before and after the 2020 election, amounted to a treasonous act 'so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH!' And Letitia James, the New York attorney general who filed a damaging civil fraud case against Trump? He didn't stop at calling her 'corrupt and racist'.

A 41st anniversary is a milestone for any comedy troupe. Here actors from The Comic Strip Presents - Peter Richardson, Nigel Wallace, Alexei Sayle, Gary Beadle and Julia T. Wallace - remember the good old days. I don't remember much about Gary Beadle, while Julia T. Wallace was to find fame in 1986 with The Life and Loves of a She Devil. One question remains: why wasn't Peter Richardson in The Young Ones rather than that other bloke no one can remember?

By Mark Sumner for Daily Kos Daily Kos Staff Monday, October 02, 2023 at 11:57:08a MDT REPUBLISHED BY: Blue Country Gazette Blog Rim Country Gazette Blog   During a speech on Sunday night, Donald Trump repeatedly spoke as if Barack Obama were the current president. It wasn't the first time. In recent speeches , Trump has also claimed to have beaten both Obama and George W. Bush in 2016. That's when he wasn't promising to use irrigation ditches to bring water to bathrooms or keep California's forests damp.

The following is provided to our readers as a courtesy: Recreational harvest of gag in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) will close at 12:01 a.m., local time, on October 19, 2023. Gag recreational harvest will be closed until the 2024 fishing season opens.     Why The Gag Closure Is Happening: Interim measures to reduce overfishing of gag stated that the recreational season would begin on September 1, 2023, and end on November 10, 2023, unless NOAA Fisheries projects that the gag recreational annual catch limit would be met before that date.

My video diary of the 2nd day at Lib Dem conference in Bournemouth. Health and education debates took place, Daisy Cooper gave a great speech, I checked out by-election cheesy props, I popped in to the Liberty Network fringe, in the afternoon I went to Ed Davey's Q&A and in the evening I rounded off my day by going to an LGBT meeting followed by the ALDC/LGA reception.

'The fact that so many Americans remain fooled by Trump should lead to some serious national soul-searching.' (photo: Mark Peterson/New York Times) Paul Krugman / The New York Times   01 October 23   Ever since debt was invented in ancient Sumer , there have probably been people enriching themselves through bad investments. The trick is to make these investments using other people's money. Suppose, for example, that a wheeler-dealer uses borrowed funds to make risky investments in New Jersey casinos.

La Discotheque in Soho's Wardour Street  opened in around 1961 and was perhaps t he first place to use 'discotheque' as the name for a club in the English speaking world (there had been clubs of that name in Paris since the 1940s). The Soho club earned some notoriety as the 'Soho nerve centre' of 'the purple heart racket' (Times 10 June 1964) but that didn't stop it expanding with other branches opening up in  Oxford Street, Streatham High Road and Peckham High Street.  Not sure of the source of the advert below promising 'The West End comes to Peckham' with 'the accent on Rhythm and Blues, and Twist' to 'Hi Fi Stereo featuring the famous Nite-Sounds': This advert from Streatham News suggests that the Peckham club ('London's most fabulous dancing club') opened in June 1963 and was open every night until 2 am: I found a memory of the club on Facebook: 'Went a fair bit when around 15.

Lies Where It Falls is a theatrical memoire, an incredibly personal retelling of a set of moments in Ruairi Conaghan's life and career. We hear about the highs and lows of sharing his name with his uncle, Judge Rory Conaghan who was shot by the IRA and died when Ruairi was just eight years old. And the highs and lows of the acting profession which can bring about remarkable opportunities, not all of which Ruairi felt he could rise to. Ruairi is an expressive actor, one of the best. One moment, he can be nimble with his glances; the next, he's throwing his full body into a shape to explode into another point.

I just can't figure out this guy. Carlos Rodon is a great pitcher, but something is not clicking now that he's with the Yankees... it is crazy to me.  Last night he pitched against the Royals and it was a mess once again.  Did you know that Rodon made history last night? He's the first starter in Yankee history to give up 8 runs and not record an out. I want you to think about that. And it's against the Royals.   Anyway, Yardbarker has more: "The poor start comes after Rodon reached out to Yankees fans expressing his disappointment over his performance before vying to prove himself over the remaining five seasons of his lucrative contract.

Yes, it's been a month since I last posted. I was overly optimistic about what I could get done between my long trip and the shorter one I got back from earlier this week. But now I've managed to get through all the display photos I took on the long trip. I didn't document the shade names for these as I was limited in the time I could spend browsing in stores. Speaking of stores, I only went to ones I came across, so it was all Boots and Superdrug locations in London, Birmingham, and Southampton.

Have you spotted a sick, abnormal or dead freshwater turtle? We've launched a new, easy way to report sightings, which can help biologists and researchers learn more about freshwater turtles affected by a fatal disease caused by a virus called Turtle fraservirus 1 (TFV1). You can find the new online reporting form  through our website  as well as  learn more about TFV1 . Species affected include Florida softshells ( Apalone ferox ), smooth softshells ( Apalone mutica ), spiny softshells ( Apalone spinifera ), and yellow-bellied sliders ( Trachemys scripta scripta ).
