It made headlines around the world with its revelation that the Prince of Wales will step back from campaigning once he succeeds to the throne but the new BBC One documentary Prince, Son and Heir: Charles at 70had plenty of other special moments to savour as it followed the man who will be king in the run up to his landmark birthday. From the deep affection in which he’s clearly held by his…
“She was very supportive. In fact, she took the time to make sure that I was happy and looked-after, for that particular occasion. Which, in probably everything that she is doing is a very small element, but it shows how caring she is really.”

“What a striking way to mark Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. People living in an English village have been knitting poppies to display outside their church in Suffolk to remember the nation’s war dead. They set out to make 40 flowers to cover two crosses, but have ended up with more than 5,500”. #poppy #armisticeday #remembranceday#lestweforget #amazing
Yep. I told y’all the hormones are making her crazy. She’s been pregnant for about half of that time period, so it must have been hell working with her before but especially after she got pregnant. It really goes to show how bad of a client she is. She’s the newest royal, anyone would kill to have a job like that. The fact she quit after only 6 months, is very very telling if you ask me. Something’s coming I feel. Their has been nothing but a flurry of negative articles lately and now her assistant quit. I’mma do a reading on that and the Eugenie tiara thing, but based on my past readings, it’s probably true but I haven’t checked the cards yet.
Barack had always felt a special fondness for Queen Elizabeth, saying that she reminded him of his no-nonsense grandmother, Toot. I personally was awed by her efficiency, a skill clearly forged by necessity over a lifetime in the public eye. One day a few years earlier, Barack and I had stood, hosting a receiving line together with her and Prince Philip. I’d watched, bemused, as the Queen managed to whisk people speedily past with economic, friendly hellos that left no room for follow-up conversation, while Barack projected an amiable looseness, almost inviting chitchat and then ponderously answering people’s questions, thereby messing up the flow of the line. All these years after meeting the guy, I was still trying to get him to hurry up.
One afternoon in April 2016, the two of us took a helicopter from the American ambassador’s residence in London to Windsor Castle in the countryside west of the city. Our advance team instructed us that the Queen and Prince Philip were planning to meet us when we landed and then personally drive us back to the castle for lunch. As was always the case, we were briefed on the protocol ahead of time. We’d greet the royals formally before getting into their vehicle to make the short drive. I’d sit in the front next to ninety-four-year-old Prince Philip, who would drive, and Barack would sit next to the Queen in the backseat.
It would be the first time in more than eight years that the two of us had been driven by anyone other than a Secret Service agent, or ridden in a car together without agents. This seemed to matter to our security teams, the same way the protocol mattered to the advance teams, who fretted endlessly over our movements and interactions, making sure that every last little thing looked right and went smoothly.
After we’d touched down in a field on the palace grounds and said our hellos, however, the Queen abruptly threw a wrench into everything by gesturing for me to join her in the backseat of the Range Rover. I froze, trying to remember if anyone had prepped me for this scenario, whether it was more polite to go along with it or to insist that Barack take his proper seat by her side.
The Queen immediately picked up on my hesitation. And was having none of it.
“Did they give you some rule about this?” she said, dismissing all the fuss with a wave of her hand. “That’s rubbish. Sit wherever you want.”

I bet the reason for the announcement at the wedding and on the tour was their way of getting back at the queen once she realized the queen pretended to be dumb about the origin of the tiara she actually wanted. It must have burned seeing what you want walk down the aisle. I don’t about y’all but that’s clarification that the queen knows how to shade. Remember their name SexDumbKill. 🤭
The future is a concept, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now.
DOES MM LEAK TO THE PRESS? TAROT READING – NOVEMBER 8TH, 2018
This has been requested for a while, most recently by @opinioniste. Thought I’d look into it and see what I got. Tell me your thoughts and send requests as always. See ya soon. -TT
“Is MM leaking to the press about her life?”
(Nine of Swords; QOC (Sun); Five of Swords (Death/Ace of Pentacles Rx/Ace of Swords Rx/Seven of Pentacles Rx/Nine of Pentacles Rx); Four of Pentacles Rx (High Priestess Rx); Strength Rx (Judgement Rx); KOC Rx (Knight of Cups Rx/Six of Wands Rx); Lovers Rx (Star/Seven of Cups/Two of Cups Rx/Magician); Page of Swords (Seven of Swords Rx); Knight of Wands Rx; Tower Rx (Six of Swords Rx/Ace of Cups/Nine of Wands/Two of Pentacles;)
Queen of Pentacles Rx/Empress Rx/King of Pentacles Rx – Top of the Deck
Short answer: hell yes, I think she is leaking (Page of Swords/Knight of Wands Rx/Star/QOC/Ace of Pentacles Rx/Queen of Pentacles Rx).
I think she leaked in the past because she was low on/losing money (Four of Pentacles Rx) and ignored the advice of the BRF on the private, low-key lifestyle of the previous BRF girlfriends (High Priestess Rx).
I think she has slowed down now on the leaking because she’s very very stressed right now (Nine of Swords). Most likely about the pregnancy (QOC/Sun) and how that’s going to work out health-wise.
She’s not leaking as much now because I think she feels guilty/remorseful a little bit in a way about leaking (Nine of Swords). She feels like she said a lot of regretful things and would take back some of the leaking she did, to be honest, knowing the effect it would have on her reputation and credibility in the firm now (Knight of Wands Rx/Sun/Six of Wands Rx).
I also think she got too big for her britches and thought she’d be able to continue to do the leaking she did longer and was rudely awakened by that not being the case (Strength Rx/Knight of Wands Rx/Judgement Rx). She is very restricted now and has to follow more guidelines and rules now, especially since she is pregnant (Knight of Wands Rx/QOC). She did this leaking initally as a way to rebel, same with the cookbook, her way of expressing herself and doing what she wants without being restricted.
I keep seeing this, she’s very very isolated in the BRF. She doesn’t really gel with anyone in the family and doesn’t have many friends. She also feels repressed (Strength Rx/Nine of Swords) because she doesn’t get to live the lifestyles she was living before as an actress (Sun) (traveling wherever whenever, wearing any type of chlothes she wanted to and wearing any designer brands without any criticism, being able to use social media and express herself with her blog and on her social media, etc;). So she’s not really in the mood of really wanting to leak anyway.
I think there has been some changes made (Death) that looks more down upon on “leaking” and all that mess (Ace of Swords Rx/Ace of Pentacles Rx/Seven of Pentacles Rx). Like she’s being more reprimanded lately over the leaking (Seven of Swords Rx/Judgemnt Rx) and has/will suffer some consquences for doing that. Guessing the seperate households was an example of consquences she’s facing because of that.
It’s not in her best interest to leak right now, to be honest (QOC/Judgement Rx). I think if she does leak, she has to look over her shoulder and do it (Five of Swords) because it’s not like she’d get backed up if she did it, the only support she has is Harry, no one else is backing her actions really.
I think she has some conflict with both Charles and William (KOC Rx/Death) because of the leaking and also how two-faced she is about it (Knight of Cups Rx). Like she’ll lie sometimes (Ace of Swords Rx) and say it’s not her when it is.
William feels like the leaking will eventually or is now starting to bring unnecessary attention to them (Knight of Cups Rx/Six of Wands Rx) and sees her as calculating and two-faced (Knight of Cups Rx). Charles doesn’t like it because the money’s not going to the firm and better-ment of the firm (Seven/Nine of Pentacles Rx) but for her own self and she’s using the “leaking” money to overspend more than she would with just the budget she’s given (Nine of Pentacles Rx) and it’s putting Charles in “debt” (even though their still fine finicially but you get what I mean).
I also think MM was doing this for a while and lying about it and got caught red-handed (Seven of Swords Rx) which is why she’s also hesistant to do it now then in the past on top of Willy and Charlie being against it.
I think she lied about doing this for a while y’all (Lovers Rx) specifically to Harry and would pretend she was innocent in all of this (Seven of Cups) and this is just the media “attacking” her but she was masterminding it (Magician/Star). Literally, Star card, is spilling the tea.
She was reckless and all over the place with how she did it (of course) and that’s why she got caught red-handed so easily (Knight of Wands Rx/HP Rx).
I also think she’s worried about something Samantha might say (QOC/Nine of Swords) and/or Thomas (KOC Rx) and how that would make Thomas feel and affect their relationship (Lovers Rx). Samantha or Thomas may be coming out with an unfavourable story about her or an unfavourable leak comes out about them that stresses Meghan and makes her feel really down (Nine of Swords/Strength Rx).
She’s trying to move on from this (Six of Swords) and fix all the strained relationships she has with others because of the leaking and press-gobbing she’s done (Ace of Cups). She’s also trying to focus on the pregnancy. But she is very anxious and still on the look-out for more bombs/negative articles and/or leaks to drop, out of consquences for her starting the leaking on her life in the first place (Nine of Wands/Two of Pentacles).
That’s all I got. Hope you enjoyed. See ya soon. -TT
So Meghan is rude with the Queen’s staff, the Queen had to have a chat with Harry about it. Why am I not surprised by this.
Also, Meghan wanted Eugenie’s tiara? And The Queen’s people said they couldn’t trace the history so she couldnt wear it, but then Eugienie wore it later? Interesting.
Not the Greville emerald tiara worn by Eugenie but sounds like an emerald tiara not seen before. But point remains about her behavior.
Roughly half of YouTube users say the platform is very important for helping them figure out how to do things they’ve never done before. That works out to 35% of all U.S. adults, once both users and non-users of the site are accounted for. And around one-in-five YouTube users (representing 13% of the total adult population) say it is very important for helping them understand events that are happening in the world.
Fully 81% of all parents with children age 11 or younger say they ever let their child watch videos on YouTube. And 34% of parents say their child watches content on YouTube regularly.
But even as many users are turning to content on YouTube to help them understand the world and learn new things, large shares say they encounter negative experiences with content on the platform. Around two-thirds of users (64%) say they at least sometimes encounter videos that seem obviously false or untrue while using the site, while 60% at least sometimes encounter videos that show people engaging in dangerous or troubling behavior. And among parents who let their young child watch content on the site, 61% say they have encountered content there that they felt was unsuitable for children.
Students, educators, and just regular art lovers might be interested to learn that we’ve released thousands of images in the public domain on the new website in an open-access format (52,438 to be exact, and growing regularly). Made available under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license, these images can be downloaded for free on the artwork pages.
We’ve also enhanced the image viewing capabilities on object pages, which means that you can see much greater detail on objects than before. Check out the paint strokes in Van Gogh’s The Bedroom, the charcoal details on Charles White’s Harvest Talk, or the synaesthetic richness of Georgia O’Keeffe’s Blue and Green Music.
I’ve included a few notable works from their collection above: The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat (which you can zoom and pretend you’re Cameron in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), Self-Portrait by Vincent van Gogh, Nighthawks by Edward Hopper, Mao by Andy Warhol, and Two Sisters (On the Terrace) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The resolution on the images is high enough to check out the brushstrokes on the paintings. Here’s some detail on the van Gogh:
Nobody writes about health care practice from the inside out like Atul Gawande, here focusing on an increasingly important part of clinical work: information technology.
A 2016 study found that physicians spent about two hours doing computer work for every hour spent face to face with a patient–whatever the brand of medical software. In the examination room, physicians devoted half of their patient time facing the screen to do electronic tasks. And these tasks were spilling over after hours. The University of Wisconsin found that the average workday for its family physicians had grown to eleven and a half hours. The result has been epidemic levels of burnout among clinicians. Forty per cent screen positive for depression, and seven per cent report suicidal thinking–almost double the rate of the general working population.
Something’s gone terribly wrong. Doctors are among the most technology-avid people in society; computerization has simplified tasks in many industries. Yet somehow we’ve reached a point where people in the medical profession actively, viscerally, volubly hate their computers.
It’s not just the workload, but also what Gawande calls “the Revenge of the Ancillaries” – designing software for collaboration between different health care professionals, from surgeons to administrators, all of whom have competing stakes and preferences in how a product is used and designed, what information it offers and what it demands. And most medical software doesn’t handle these competing demands very well.
8 November 2018: Queen Sonja presents the 2018 Queen Sonja Print Award to Canadian graphic artist Emma Nishimura, and a Lifetime Achievement Award to David Hockney in recognition of his work in graphic art and printmaking. The Queen Sonja Print Award is the world’s leading graphic art award, and it is designed to inspire interest in and the development of graphic art.
That’s probably why she’s feeling a little remorseful at all the leaking she’s been doing, including in a way leaking the pregnancy by wearing that huge coat and announcing it at the wedding. She never just listens to people’s advice it’s crazy. Someone had to tell her at some point in life she can’t discard people like that forever before it comes back to bite her.
