Unsure if the dog is waiting here in case he needs to get help Lassie style or whether he's ready to Misery me for not giving his dinner soon enough.

I know the ship has well and truly sailed but I just don't understand how some people look at Donald Trump and just see what they want to see despite all the evidence to the contrary. Have we ever had a public figure who so clearly tells us who he is but this gets ignored by so many?

Feel there's a lot of important pub advice that wasn't covered here For example- pork scratchings are so named due to being a pub remedy for itching. It was perfectly acceptable in any true pub to grab a handful and rub them into the affected area to relieve your symptoms (Please don't do this)

This CNN article attempting to brief Americans on UK pub culture is sidesplittingly hilarious. It’s as if an alien came to earth, saw some 1950s films and then ran it through ChatGPT. edition.cnn.com/travel/briti...

A very important step for the Catholic Church to do it's moral duty and continue the mission of Pope Francis. But also expecting someone from the Trump admin in the next month to complain about papism

Lot of people rightly saying how Padilla's arrest shows the authoritarian trend of this US gov. But historically it's also feels like some parallels to the beating of Charles Sumner. The kind of assault on an elected representative that becomes a symbol to strengthen a cause.

Fantastic list of books in the comments of this post. So many I'd not heard of that my wallet and my book backlog are already wincing. Plus just tempted to go re-read some dragonlance for the pure nostalgia of it.

Wow the start of that second paragraph. Sadly does appear the case in the USA. Popped to new York at the start of the year and really felt like a go see it before it becomes unsafe to go n

I am fascinatingly tired today, and chat with chums about how teen me crushed on Dragonlance has made me want to read something in that space. Recommend me high quality pulp fantasy books you love. To orientate where my head is at: my initial response was to check what David Gemmel I've never read

The fact the leader of the opposition opened a question in PMQs with I am getting better at this surely is a desperate sign of where things are? Why would you engage with Starmer on this topic and not just ignore it! They're your questions to use.

Thought I'd give Critical Roll's new Daggerheart campaign a go (as limited length means I might actually keep up) But my god the number of ads! Feels like I'm getting an ad break every 5 minutes- can't watch 3 hours 40 minutes of this.

Department budgets will increase by 2.3% in real terms, on average, following this spending review. The Tories first spending review cut spending by 2.9%. This is NOT austerity. Labour ARE different. #SpendingReview2025

What power have they given away apart from interest rate setting in 1997? The OBR has no power - governments can and do change fiscal rules all the time.

Honestly, feels like I've not played a Hideo Kojima game for too long. May be time to take the plunge on Death Stranding.
