GNU Sir PTerry. 11 years today.

How do they rise up?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social why? I fear it's because the audience the right-wing media & political parties have been playing to re: the war aren't the UK public James - they're the potential American investors in said parties & organisations. The likes of Musk & Evangelical American Church groups.

Np sir, enjoy the evening off!

Definite recommend for 'Cold Storage' if you can find a local showing. Mid-budget scifi/horror-comedy with Steve from Stranger Things and Liam Neeson. Reminder me a LOT of 'Return of the Living Dead', bit of 'Slither'... fun!

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Meanwhile, in the UK, Reform voters continue to insist they're not racist while providing ample evidence to the contrary...

(Over 20% of them think non-white people should leave regardless of where they were born, doubtless aiming to be the SS wing of the party if voted in).

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

It's news like this that makes me miss Bill Hicks...

‘Evil Dead’ Star Bruce Campbell Reveals “Treatable Not Curable” Cancer Diagnosis The 'Evil Dead' and 'Spider-Man' actor revealed his health condition on social media: "I apologize if that's a shock. It was to me, too."

No.

No. No. No. No. No.

Not Bruce.

Fuck you cancer, you can't have Bruce.

@rampaigewesley.bsky.social With sharks? Gotta be 'Fin-al Destination' (sorry Paige, couldn't resist)

@mrjamesob.bsky.social won't change w/o 'boots on the ground' in Iran James and Trump will now be learning that's why other Presidents have never tried it. Thoughts, prayers and rubble created by bombs dropped on them won't help Iranian people beat a heavily-armed Iranian Republican Guard.

#WWEEliminationChamber Can they just send the box back?

Watching last night's WWE Elimination Chamber. Thought that was a REALLY good women's chamber match. Showcased everyone well, some great sequences, solid finish. Very impressed.

Had Benji on call waiting all week I suspect.

Not when you consider it's a war being declared for clicks, diversion and attention-seeking by someone obsessed with his own footprint on the world.

Unfortunately we're a decade past when it seemed 'unreal'. All depressingly normal now.

How can you only obliterate something for 6 months? I wiped out a pretty tasty chocolate cake at the end of August, hasn't reappeared yet.

Just for clarity - the current Iranian regime are a horror show. These actions are more likely to get further innocents & people wanting change killed then anything else though. Hope I'm wrong but suspect this will just cripple external strike abilities while making things worse for civilians.

Let's see how long it takes Israel to complain about Iran firing missiles at them this time - not like they've just provoked a retaliatory strike or anything. Or had their closest ally effectively give Iran the green light to fire everything by openly declaring war on them...no sir.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

For me it'd need the following:

- cut leaving NATO.
- cut immediate nuclear disarmament.
- mass asylum for all current immigrants seems a bad idea.
- some immigration control needed, not Reform lvls but not open everything.
- drug reform & part legalization is needed. Not heroin & crack though.

Trump declares war on Iran by telling the people we're going to indiscriminately bomb you then hope you'll overthrow an extremely well armed, well-trained Iranian Guard who've killed 1000s of you by... throwing rubble at them?

All ultimately because Obama made a treaty with Iran that was working.

Dear Sky,

Your latest advert suggests that you've wildly overestimated my ability to tolerate even miniscule doses of Danny Dyer. Please stop.

Aye, I don't think people understand just how massive a thing Red Dwarf was/is to Uk Gen X'ers. An alternative geek sitcom amidst the tide of stale trad UK stuff and bland US offerings, WAY ahead of its time.

Not convinced Labour aren't the only way to avoid the horrors of a Reform govt (last night is more serious than a protest vote but not a seismic change imo - more a very harsh mid-term rebuke to Starmer from the Left) but intrigued to read an actual Polanski-led Green manifesto when it arrives.

Following the reaction to the Greens winning the G&D by-election atm. What's sad is that if you curb the more extreme policies of the Greens than you have what the Labour Party SHOULD be tbh. At least the policies I always associated Labour with before they drifted dangerously far into the centre.

Red Dwarf Creator Rob Grant Has Died Tributes have been paid to Rob Grant, the comedy writer best known as the co-creator of long running hit sitcom Red Dwarf. Grant was also one of the main writers on Spitting IMage for many years, writ...

Well this news sucks. Raising a glass of fresh 🥭 to a titan of British comedy writing.

Aww, last day of the Winter Olympics. Will miss Tim & Ed commentating on all the X Games-type stuff until next time, really comes across how they love the disciplines and are not just experts but fans too. #BBC #WinterOlympics

Just watching an old repeat of Cornershop performing 'Brimful of Asha' on BBC1. Cringed for their discomfort as I think even they realised that, without the Norman Cook mix, it isn't exactly a crowd-pleaser.
