Christine and the Queens - Chris (album) On the one hand: Guardian-friendly gender pop On the other hand: a summer-fresh modern version of France Gall's "Ella, elle l'a" in album length. I advise listening to the french version, because her english is making me nervous. My candidate for best song of the year:

She once said, two years ago or so, that she has trouble memorizing her roles. Though I guess it didn't turn out to be anything dramatic. I would let her dench me.

Talk of him starring in a new sit-com! https://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/one-foot-graves-richard-wilson-13291460 Though actually, the text isn't quite as euphoric as the headline.

Seems like the audience got their money's worth

"Controversial letters from Pope Benedict": https://www.bild.de/politik/ausland/politik-ausland/controversial-letters-pope-benedict-xvi-concerned-about-his-church-57358166.bild.html Some hints that he was in danger of getting food-poisoned.

Small side note from Jeb Bush about the health of his father: https://eu.freep.com/story/money/business/columnists/carol-cain/2018/09/22/carol-cain-jeb-bush-donald-trump-role-model/1355592002/ “He’s frail and doesn’t get out much anymore,” he said. “But he’s in relatively good health. He isn’t ready to go just yet.”

Yes, I think we do. He wants Brexit, I say, go for it! We also agree that both sides were funded by special interest groups and the billionaires vs unions separation shows what it's about. And yes, I am even tempted to mention Northern Ireland, I wonder what they do when they will be surrounded by the EU by around 2025. However, I do think that the German influence is overrated and Merkel is a big failure. Look what happened on her "watch": Brexit, Russia invades Ukraine, 3/4rd of Europe lurching to the right because of HER policies. I think she's the worst thing that happened to Europe since...I don't know... Hitler? Or let's not exaggerate... Milosevic. She was lucky to be in power when the crash came which Germany weathered well because of the reforms her predecessor enacted. She reaped all the benefits. All the big developments of our time have been moving against her intentions. And she used that good standing during the crisis to punish other countries and make Germany extremely unpopular throughout Europe.

With "professional brexiteers" I mean those who paid for it: https://www.businessinsider.de/sunday-times-rich-list-2017-biggest-political-donors-to-the-brexit-campaign-2017-4?_ga=2.4699315.1614299354.1537552810-854250911.1537301399&r=UK&IR=T - those who used it for their careers, like Boris Johnson who then quit to avoid having to deal with this mess, or Nigel Farage, who doesn't even intend to live in Brexited UK. Also those who sell newspapers with pro-Brexit headlines (owners of the Daily Mail/Telegraph/Express). I think, they thought that the UK could make a deal that would keep access to the EU markets (and vice versa) but without the EU rules on financial regulation, transparency, consumer rights and social safety nets. I do not mean the people who were misled that Brexit would be achievable without any loss in welfare. I respect those who want Brexit and want to pay the price for it, a weakened pound, falling housing values, losing Scotland, and the like...

I actually agree with you. A no-deal Brexit is the "cleanest" way. But as I just said above, many of the professional brexiteers didn't want that.
