‘In a convent, the mother superior was dying. The other nuns wanted to offer her something to drink. But the mother superior refused a glass of water. Now they tried a glass of milk, with the same result. A nun then suggested adding a little whiskey to the milk, perhaps that would help. The dying woman actually drank the glass. Shortly afterwards, she was approaching death and her subordinates asked her what her last wish was. She replied: ‘Whatever you do, never sell this cow’.’
Now her groom* has recounted a hilarious joke that Elizabeth II told him during a ride with her beloved pony Emma.

*Well, does the man have to market his podcast now, or is he back to being the groom of Emma, the late Queen's favourite pony?
In the Rosebud podcast, Terry Pendry tells how the Queen, now 96 and frail, could not resist riding her favourite pony, Emma.
Well you old and frail normal citizens, if you can afford a place in a nursing home at all, always dream of how the super rich nice queen paid by the people was put frail by the nice staff on her favourite pony Emma while you lie in bed and nobody comes round to take you to the toilet.

What a beautiful performance while you wet yourself.
At least it touched me deeply, but please not a bit ... the lambs are always given the illusion of participation, even though they are only kept in line with nice sentimental stories of the royals.
Hats off to the best marketing with a deceased queen.

Let's put it nicely, we are pro-royalist unless of course we are not of blue blood ourselves with the appropriate privilege.
Aw geez: Indiana likely to enact anti-trans laws on the one hand, but throwing stars will be legal, at least in some places. Whut? From Indiana Public Broadcasting, IPB News:
On the anti-trans bill, Lauren Chapman reports:
“Gov. Eric Holcomb has until Wednesday, April 5 to sign, veto or let a gender-affirming care ban for transgender youth become law without his signature. The governor says the issue is ‘clear as mud’ but he would take action by deadline.
Senate Bill 480 bans medicinal or surgical gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Surgical gender-affirming care isn’t provided to minors in Indiana. But medicinal care is more common — prescribing puberty blockers or hormone therapies to help treat gender dysphoria. The bill would forcibly de-transition transgender youth already receiving therapies by the end of the year.
Holcomb said he’s spoken with providers and others to get a grasp on the issue and he’s talked to the lawmakers behind the measure. ‘I think their intent is to address the care for the child,’ Holcomb said.”
Saying that an issue is “clear as mud” to me sounds like the man from Utah who said he wished women could just make decisions for themselves instead of male legislators.

Brandon Smith reports on throwing stars:
“Throwing stars are set to become legal this summer after lawmakers sent legislation to the governor eliminating their prohibition.
The weapons have been illegal in Indiana since the mid-1980s. And a bill this session, SB 77, was originally aimed at legalizing them only in certain entertainment venues – the ax-throwing businesses that have become popular wanted to offer throwing stars. The measure was expanded to fully legalize throwing stars after, Rep. Dale DeVon (R-Granger) said, Indiana prosecutors and public defenders both got on board with the idea.
‘And put them in the same category as a pocketknife,’ DeVon said. ‘So, they will not be allowed in schools or anything like that.’”
