The hive as a weird fixation with watermelons, cactuses, and all sorts of other weird objects used in the rectum. I wouldn’t be surprised if half the folk who ‘accidently’ fall down on ‘random’ objects and get them wedged in their booty are hive drones. NTTIAWWT. ---

In the USA the President spends way too much time attending funerals, event anniversaries , ribbon cuttings and other things that the Queen, as a mostly powerless head of state does instead of the PM. I am disgusted by Last Week Tonights Jon Oliver making a big nasty salacious deal over the fact that Phillip and Elizabeth were “COUSINS!!!” scream. Yes, barely related third cousins. Us average joes often dont even know who are our third cousins. What a as… DrDeth outs himself as an committed monarchist who cannot possibly see how there might be some relationship between being born into privilege and be admitted to an prestigious school. No, surely it must all have been according to his own merit. 🙄 Oh, and octopus sucks. There, still on topic! ---
