Here's one, Laura.
"Even though I thought he was a dangerous and vindictive Cnut, he appears to be even more incompetent and backtracking than last time."
Happy to hth.

It does seem very plausible that there are secret Dem chats that materialize into nothing.

I got my wallet pinched at Opéra on the Métro, but he was rubbish and I immediately chased after him. Quite emasculating that two teenage French girls turfed him and gave me the wallet back, but I am New Man enough to always be grateful to those Parisiennes.

Wtf is Homan wearing? Does he even have a suit? Has he ever thanked anyone for not spanking his flabby ass?

DOGE hires new federal gutter after 19yo kid fails to reach Level 30 as Elon's "BothaKKK" game puppet while leaving some veterans' Medicaid untouched due to "burnout".

England has our own @zoejardiniere.bsky.social who, either because UK media still allow some debate or (more likely) she makes the case so damn well and schools politicians and RW commentators regularly.
It's a different country but the points are universal and it's refreshing to play her vid posts

It's my daughter's favourite: I think she found it (and shreds in general).
comment in response to

I spent a lot of time watching shreds years back. If you want a little list (type "shred" first in the search)
A-Ha: Take On Me
Hall and Oates: Maneater
Everything Everything: Kimosabe
Metallica: Enter Sandman
The last one has the excessive wah-wah and Lars' supposedly off-beat drumming to a T.

This article also picked up on the attempt to sideline the parliament, something lacking in the Guardian article.

I've filled in the survey. It doesn't take long and is not intrusive.

There are yellow post-it notes on all Telegraph monitors saying "in future, do not accept Tim Onion as a source".
I presume so, as this was my assumption when I first read the article.

The Overton window always opens on the 13th floor for authoritarian regimes, Big Balls. Thought you knew that.

Does she have any idea about prosecutor stfu before a hearing?
Yes, this is a rhetorical question.

Living in Spain, the thing I really don't miss is the UK internet providers. I know this doesn't help you.

I hope this isn't a "tipping his used Depends into the Pacific" moment.
It might make Alcatraz easier for "illegals" to escape from. You could just walk across those hamberder sodden floaters like stepping stones.

Reminds me of life under Henry VIII and Xi JinPing. You can toil in the fields to an early death or reach the pinnacle of wealth until the axe hits your neck after overreaching. They all choose the latter. Might as well enjoy life up to your 50s. How old is Elon, now?

Ideological capture does indeed sound like "being a lot less dumb than a Republican in Congress" and should, therefore, be against federal law.
It makes sense when you don't think about it.

That's an idea. Invite my unfollowers to a tea and perfume party. Polonium-210 in the PG Tips and Novichok, the new fragrance from (I'm the) Boss. As a warning to others. Meet up at floor 13, 6th burly FSB enforcer on the right.

I see you read the Escape Clause. Everyone can use it if my sillier stuff pops up too much in your feed.

TY. I would promise to always be this biting and insightful, but I can't lie. Any unfollow is not taken personally; think of me as an Amazon Prime trial without the annoying follow-ups when you don't renew 🙂

I was just down the M55 when the referendum result came in the year before our retirement. So, should we live in our apartment as full-time residents, or stay in the UK and draw up a Sheldon Cooper rota of when we go there?
Anyhoo, greetings from Málaga.

The tires provide a soft landing in case the chief of Russia's long-range strategic air force accidentally falls out of a window. Bad luck that they got vaporized the day before he fell.

Federal agent?
Masked blokes are yoinking people off the street etc without showing a warrant or identity. Taking them in unmarked (or UHire) vans to detention centres that gladly take them as the administration happily pays them.
Jeans, chinos, random camo. Like heck are they federal agents.

A biting TripAdvisor review, chum. Tbh, if I had to pull off the motorway it doesn't look like the last resort.

In the Columbo series, we knew straight away who the criminal was, whereas in the 2024 election... oh, wait.

Driving from Kent to Stoke in the '70s, we had helpful advice:
"When yu get to a coner: well, tinna a coner, tis mo-ure of a bend..."
Reminds me of the Irish joke:
"How can I get to [placename]?"
"Well now, to be sure, I wouldn't start from here."

Far less. Since the formation of the Earth, hominids that even I wouldn't mate with (and I'm not particularly choosy) have been around since like the full stop at the end of War And Peace.

Fwiw, I've ridden a motorbike through dense clouds. I turned my boots upside down to pour the water out: like they do in cartoons. It's an interesting experience but I don't want a repeat.

Renaming a USS "That Masked Guy Without a Warrant who Bundled a Green Card Dad Into an Unmarked Vehicle at a Gas Station, Leaving His Young Child in the Car" is a lot of paintwork, as well as being perhaps not what the USN is meant to represent.

David is an honorary top geek, IMO.
And that was a fiendish four, Michael. The Boulton Paul is another piece of my daily education 👍
