I mean can you imagine how flustered Douglas Adams would be by Mae West’s boobs? He wouldn’t know where to look. It would be hilarious.

“You look around — who else is doing it? No one,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said of Sanders’ efforts. “My hope is that the dam will break in terms of Democrats going on the offense … We need to take the argument directly to the people.”

And I'm a biologist who's had evolution (incorrectly) mansplained to me by Mike Scott from The Waterboys. It has somewhat lessened my enjoyment of the albums but it was pretty clear he was an asshole from his biography. Karl Wallinger apparently wrote him a letter certifying he'd never made any--

redmoonsanctuary.bsky.social•12 days ago

-useful contributions to The Waterboys before he left to start his own band... after Scott tried to claim that a musical idea Wallinger had described was in fact his and monopolised credit for the whole band's work as all his.🙄

Now my 6 would be

Sir Terry Pratchett - his alzheimers now gone
Iain Banks
Stephen Fry
Jeff Lynne
Gareth Edwards
Aneurin Bevan

I'd invite Adams and even lay a place for him on the off chance Fry managed to get him to arrive on the right day.

valleypaul54.bsky.social•12 days ago

Adams would be late, if he remembered to turn up at all, Goodall & Attenborough would go off into a corner and talk between themselves, Dickens would be shocked by West and berate you, leaving you to chat with FDR...poor mix there sir

tainodna.bsky.social•12 days ago

All of my uncles & both my grandfathers. A lively lot. 🥰 🇵🇷❤️‍🔥 I’d ask my deceased veteran grandfather 🙏🏼 why he randomely advised me once to join the military. Me being a young adult woman raised in the states in the 90’s what was he thinking? I’d make them the best food I know & share some 🥃 w/them.

Sandy Toksvig

It might get off to a rough start but Sandy would keep them right.

No women Mike! Add a few

mikefunnell.bsky.social•12 days ago

Rather difficult when you’re trying to get four ex-presidents (plus one author of the Federalist Papers) to give a robust character assessment to Trump.

No women presidents (or Federalist authors) to be found ☹️

fatbadger442.bsky.social•11 days ago

So why only stick to ex-presidents. There a number of very senior women in USAmerican politics (Albright? VPs?) capable of giving that assessment, plus others in other fields (Ginsburg?).

mikefunnell.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think you’re making rather too much of a jokey post.

I was suggesting two of the founders of the republic, the guy who won the Civil War, the guy who went trust-busting against wealth concentration and the guy who won the European theatre in WW II might have something to say to Trump.

fatbadger442.bsky.social•11 days ago

all good picks, especially Douglas Adams, but I'd be OK with just 3, Trump, Elon and Vance for the Red Wedding revenge.

markslater74.bsky.social•11 days ago

Bertrand Russell, Nina Simone, Aneurin Bevan, Kondiaronk, Alan Bennett and Bill Hicks. They'd have to take it in turns though, everyone hosts a dinner.

srpassesiton.bsky.social•11 days ago

My grandad used to write to and fro Bertrand Russell. So distressing we don’t have the letters

markslater74.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh wow, what a shame! Did you ever try and contract Russell's family to see if they have them? I read A History of Western Philosophy many years ago and he just seemed to have such a dazzling mind, with plenty of razor-sharp snark.

srpassesiton.bsky.social•11 days ago

Grandad was too yet he was ‘just’ a second hand car and motorbike dealer in New Zealand.

srpassesiton.bsky.social•11 days ago

Surname also Russell, maybe that’s how it started?

That's smart.

I hosted a party, once. At one point the single women went out on the balcony. After a while they came in, grabbed their purses, and left.

Turns out they were all sleeping with the same 2 guys, both married, one with a kid due in 2 weeks.
