Something is afoot with the British royal family - the Queen's personal majordomo Christopher Geidt (the same man who would be handling the news of the death of the monarch, when that day comes) has called the entire royal palace staff, including those at Sandringham and Balmoral out in the country, to a sudden meeting for some kind of high-profile announcement this morning. The summons was made overnight, which is really unusual.

Everyone is on tenterhooks, court sources are saying to the London papers, but whatever the news is about it doesn't seem to relate to the health of Elizabeth or Philip (who were last seen in good form yesterday). Any announcement that the Queen would be abdicating is considered super unlikely too - she has vowed several times to stay in office till her last breath.

Edit at noon: Prince Philip will be stepping down from public ceremonial duties in the autumn. The man is 95, so it's quite understandable.

I'm almost tempted to go and see if there's a thread for ranting about healthcare legislation in general, because I feel like I need to rant about the fact that the list below isn't just going to impact whether or not people get health insurance.

People are talking about it everywhere.

In my opinion, the Senate needs to let the the AHCA die a slow death in committee so our children don't have to go in our arms.

Czech Girl Scout stand up to Nazi

I ADORE this picture. God damn that kid is awesome.

A friend of mine and I were sort of joking about this - what the Hell is a Czech Nazi?! The Nazis quite literally endeavoured to delete the "Czech" part of "Czechoslovakia" from the map of Europe, and were more than moderately successful at doing so.

I'll never understand neo-Nazis

I think denial of fact is one of the principle aspects of Nazism, I saw a Nazi once try to argue that some obscure incident involving American troops during the war was somehow comparable to Nazi behavior, it didn't take much research to see how completely bogus that was. Same guy tried to argue some other things didn't actually happen or that Hitler wasn't completely aware of them, I admittedly had to defer to another persons expertise on that, but I found the entire argument to be completely unlikely given the nature and character of Nazism.

Part of me wants to say I pity Nazis and that they're more likely born and raised into it than joiners later in life, but either way they're pretty sad.
