Nah never anything of consequence, just how Kate wore this one hat that had all the haters’ heads turning, or how Bonny Prince Georgie flicked a royal booger at Granny Camilla

Royals drama seems even more boring than Kanye/Kardashian drama.

If only there were some media outlet that could synthesize it without both sidesing and filling it’s oped page with John fucking Yoo and Bret Stephens takes.

Big day today!

Back when I was younger and thought that sort of thing worth doing I had a t-shirt with the queen’s face on and then just “IDIOT” printed below it. Wore it in the UK for years with no repercussions apart from the odd laugh, then I wore it in the US on holiday and had a couple of people tell me that actually I was the idiot.

Having a royal family is embarrassing stuff, but it’s the people who consume news about somewhere else’s royal family I feel the real contempt for.

To be clear, they’re doing that AFTER getting caught doing that.

I wish I was surprised.

Days like today I really miss Splinter. I could go for some unapologetically left takes on current events / current headlines right now.
