The Parliamentary Protective Service is apologizing to a man after telling him he couldn't wear his shirt on a tour of Parliament bc it "may offend some ppl." He was given the choice of turning it inside out, or not continuing w the tour. He turned it inside out. #cdnpoli (1/3)
William Lacey was wearing a shirt that said "I ❤️🍁oil & gas" which the Parliamentary Protective Service guard deemed potentially offensive. There is a dress code which makes reference to political messages, not clear if the guard was misinterpreting that #cdnpoli
In a statement to Global News the PPS says "the personnel misinterpreted a message on the visitor’s article of clothing. The staff involved will be receiving operational guidance and training with respect to visitors to the Hill." #cdnpoli (3/3)

Absolutely amazing scenes from #parliament's #prorogation
1. Only a dozen govt peers, and no opposition, turn up for ceremony in the #Lords
2. Placard-waving protests at the Speaker's Chair in the #Commons
3. Speaker John Bercow says "This is not a standard or normal prorogation.... it is an act of executive fiat" and reluctantly agrees to process to the #Lords

Mudakun - obscure blogger, not an influencer

I need to motivate and write sumthin for my blog but everything is either too "big and messy" or "feels not worth the effort now"

Until I got this idea to play with FANDOM TERMINOLOGY SHITFIGHTS
and the current anime season's take on guys hangin' out in a band;

(Oh snap! Muddy-kun is gonna frick this one up in classic gettit-wrong fashion)

No..wait... Have been watching it on a certain "grey" aggregator site, fun to read comments too.

Of course commenters are all sloppy with terms: "GAY" "Yaoi" "shonen-ai".

By ep5 all I can guess is that one chara has a man-crush and another, a roomie. Read in what you will -- or am I erasing? Or am I reluctant to be trolled by the writers?

Besides the point. What we got here is an almost genre-perfect take on a "guys friendships" story.

45 Days Of @ElvisCostello: a twitter megathread in anticipation of the Oct 12 release date of LOOK NOW, the new LP by Elvis Costello & The Imposters

This is either a bright idea or a brilliant mistake, but this is only, this is only, this is only the beginning...
I did something similar to this 5 years ago, in anticipation of EC & @theroots' Wise Up Ghost LP, on tumblr.

(You can still find all those posts if you look, although a lot of the YouTube links etc are now dead ends. It was 40 Days Of EC then, so for 2018 I'm upping it to 45.)
Mostly I will be going chronologically from the early years right up to the present, but it feels right to start out with Costello's 2002 song, "45."

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

@MuslimMarine
On days like today not even 5 yrs of faithful & honorable active duty #Service in #USMC can convince some ppl of a Muslims loyalty to USA.1/
Ppl ask me why I enlisted in the #Marines in 1997 at the age of 19. I tell them b/c loyalty to my nation of residence is part of my faith./2
I served the US faithfully BECAUSE of my faith, not in spite of it. I had the full support of my father — a Muslim Imam & my family. /3
