Lockheed Martin also posted a tribute tweet but that's rather more fitting, I guess.

People used to send actual flowers, now a performative dashed-off tweet will suffice

The "Hamilton" Crew kind of misses the point of Alexander Hamilton

annoying we never actually found out the sizes

xp last night on HistoryTV (CSPAN 2), a Jefferson scholar mentioned that TJ clashed w Ham in part because the former into early (pre-guillotine) French Revoloo, latter big on Brits, as this from American Diplomacy journal site lays out:

Hamilton’s approach to economic and foreign policy was based on his belief and hope that the United States could emerge as a great empire, rivaling, and someday surpassing, the empire of Great Britain. Indeed, Great Britain was his model for shaping U.S. economic policies and institutions. Hamilton greatly admired the British Empire for its unparalleled financial and commercial power and its preeminent global position. As Treasury Secretary he generously borrowed British financial practices and encouraged trade with our former colonial masters and wartime antagonist. As chief foreign policy advisor to President Washington, he counseled cooperation with Britain, focused on the common security interests of Britain and the United States, and advocated the development of strong U.S. naval power.

In 1795, Hamilton described his country as the “embryo of a great empire.”

(Then again, sometimes I wonder if America and the world wouldn't have been better off we'd stayed in the Empire-to-Commonwealth, with no American Civil War and room for our own sep. imperialist adventures? Would not eliminate racism, classism etc,, but maybe not so much freakish homegrowth...would still have to deal with French, Spanish possessions in North America, but might have worked out better than it did, again without too much room and resources for US romping all over)

"The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has sent his condolences to Britain after the “irreparable loss” of Queen Elizabeth II."

Narendra Modi, the prime minister of India, wrote on Twitter: “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will be remembered as a stalwart of our times.

“She provided inspiring leadership to her nation and people.

“She personified dignity and decency in public life. Pained by her demise. My thoughts are with her family and people of UK in this sad hour.”

Fans in all the right places.

The British Emporium is keeping its door open all night to welcome people who just need to be comforted and talk about their love of ol' Liz (and perhaps by a nice Union Jack throw blanket while you're here).

How long is the football cancelled for? I thought it was just this weekend but many people are saying it could be at least two weeks?

“A determination regarding the remainder of this weekend's scheduled fixtures will be made following a review of the official mourning guidance, in addition to further consultation with DCMS and other sports on Friday morning," said an EFL statement.

I don't know about the prem but the EFL have had a review of "official mourning guidance". When her dad choked it football fixtures went ahead 2 days later.

they were made of sterner stuff in those days

plus i think people would've legit rioted

tbf i think the moment any of this bullshit personally inconveniences me i'm gonna throw an absolute shitfit

So do American ex-presidents get an invite to the funeral? Can't see why they would but the ultra-traditional 'rules' seem to be made up on the hoof so anything's on at this stage.

Oh my god how is Trump so good at this?!

Nigel Farage inexplicably just had Donald Trump phone in to his GB News show to pay tribute to the late Queen, saying they “had great chemistry” and “spent a lot more time together than people thought.” pic.twitter.com/Jignt4hJWF
