I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I wonder how much longer the monarchy will last. Certainly not another 70 years.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That'll be interesting to watch. I am always surprised how many monarchies are still in existence when I hear of one.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Jim said he has friends in London who can hear the church bells going.

I bet this how people felt when Queen Victoria died. Whether or not you like the monarchy, it’s definitely feeling like the end of something. I wonder if Charles will choose a different regnal name?

I'm betting they'll wind down like a bunch of other European royal families. They're rich and have titles, but most of them have jobs and basically private lives.

The PM is referring to him as "King Charles III", so -

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I wish they’d abolish it now.

I also wondered if Charles would choose a different name. Guess not.

On the one hand it would kind of be a shame for such a long-standing thing like the monarchy to end. On the other hand, I’m not sure the world will still be habitable in 70 years so…

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Hey, Sheryl. Is a nap a possibility?

My mom texted me said "Every pub in Ireland is going to run out of booze tonight."

Apparently an email went out to Sinn Féin party members which essentially read "We shouldn't need to say it, but do NOT act like arseholes on social media; things are fraught enough just at the moment".
