I wonder if Charles will choose a different regnal name?
The PM is referring to him as "King Charles III", so -

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.

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?"

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".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Trying to remember anything about the first two Charles and only coming up with spaniels. And something about an actress, maybe?

Well, Charles the First got his head cut off during the English Civil War; Charles the Second spent a lot of time in exile until the Restoration . . . it's not the name I would have picked.

Those seem kind of memorable. Not periods I've actually studied, though.
Hoping for third time lucky, perhaps?

I'm having my hand surgery on Monday. I still don't know what time it'll be -- they'll call me tomorrow to tell me that.
Also, I was looking at the local theatre season, and I saw that Cincinnati Playhouse is having an "immersive" murder mystery play in a corn maze, which might be the most Ohio thing I've ever seen, and I think I have to go to it.

I hope the surgery goes well, Hil.
