Ok. I’m at an M&S store and they’re selling this cake Mother’s Day, and they call it ‘rainbow showstopper cake’. *I* say they should save it for Pride month and call it ‘Gayke’. Out of pocket or right on the money? Sound off in the comments

Created by the Constitution, the State of the Union began as written reports. Woodrow Wilson revived in‑person delivery in 1913. It evolved into a prime‑time televised address where presidents outline priorities, report national conditions, and navigate increasingly polarized political theatre

George Washington (1732–1799) was an American military leader and statesman who commanded the Continental Army, presided over the Constitutional Convention, and became the first U.S. president. Revered as the “Father of His Country,” he shaped the nation’s early identity and institutions #PresidentsDay

William Howard Taft was the 27th U.S. president and later the 10th chief justice, the only American to hold both roles. Born in 1857, he rose through judicial and administrative posts, shaping law and government with steady, pragmatic leadership. #PresidentsDay

John Quincy Adams (1767–1848) was the sixth U.S. president, a skilled diplomat, and son of John Adams. He shaped the Monroe Doctrine as secretary of state and later served in Congress, where he became a leading voice against slavery #PresidentsDay

Rutherford B. Hayes (1822–1893), the 19th U.S. president, ended Reconstruction and advanced early civil service reform. A former Union general and Ohio governor, he won the fiercely disputed 1876 election and sought national reconciliation while promoting government integrity #PresidentsDay

Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826) was an American statesman, philosopher, and Founding Father who authored the Declaration of Independence, served as the third U.S. president, advanced religious liberty, expanded the nation through the Louisiana Purchase, and shaped early American political ideals

Summer 1986. Montreal hosted ‘Millerfest’ that had a great lineup. Eurythmics were huge that year and their set was phenomenal. I figured out where they were staying and met them afterwards. I always say Annie Lennox gave me one of the best hugs I ever got in my life. She sent someone out to their tour bus to get this for me, and she and Dave signed it 🥹

@Nead@social.vivaldi.net That’s a good typo 😅 👖

#BREAKING Lionel Richie has given me one of his Grammys. Mr. Richie told reporters he had made the presentation “as a recognition for Patrick’s unique commitment to dancing on the ceiling.” I called it a “a wonderful gesture”
