Completely agree with this.
Also, and I'm not a scientist, but I am lead to believe that oil is not water.
That means that probably you don't want to release a huge amount of it into the sea.
Possibly some negative PR associated with that.
I also don't work in PR.
I'm just busking this...

There’s Brothers in Arms.

Er… I’ll have a look.

Wise saying:
“It is better to travel than to arrive.”

AI version:
“I’m here! Do you want to know about my hallucinated journey?”

Saw it on video round my mate’s house in the 90s.

Blew my mind.

I saw a meme the other day that we are where we are because Joe Rogan waiting until he was 58* to take an interest in politics.

Ukraine Reaches a Milestone: Making ‘China-Free’ Drones

When I was in Ukraine in 2024, the drone-makers I met told me this indigenous Ukrainian drones without any Chinese tech — which was always stolen and copied by Russia — was their crazy, ambitious goal.

Experts said it was never gonna happen. Well, they got there. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

I can only speak for the bit of Hants (countryside) I live in, but I find that take to be dreadful*.

I wouldn’t have us replace the wonderful @dannychambers.bsky.social , but our two most recent councillors elected have been Green Party.

*Didn’t use the word bollocks did I? 😉😁

@quietriotpod.bsky.social , this suggestion will be too late to make consideration, but just fyi money is woke now.

The Conservatives' Brexit project left us weaker and poorer.

If the government is serious about boosting our economy, they should listen to @libdems.org.uk proposals for a bespoke customs union with the largest trading bloc in the world - which is already right on our doorstep.

Excellent judgement by you. The repost isn't the same as him manufacturing the video and that might seem to be emphasising too much on the semantics, but words matter.

Apparently it's a fan account. Loathed as I am to say this.

Got this on now.

Really pleased to instantly have @dorianlynskey.bsky.social call Trump out as thick.

The Remainiacs crowd were always on this. The rest of the press who constantly said “you just don’t understand his genius” shamed themselves early on.

This is also what happens when the Fourth Estate fails to function, or only begins to latterly.

Anything in the New York Times about that?

Because your stuff is good I’ll take a read.
Please be aware that by taking this position, I now expect a random to block me.

Ok. I won’t be watching it. Subject matter aside, I find Theroux deeply problematic. Two reasons:
I’ve seen episodes that appear exploitative of vulnerable-appearing people.
The “I couldn’t intervene, I’m just here to observe” stance he appears to take.
With the latter, not just the famous example.

Are these direct quotes?
I’m so grateful that my sons have seen through so much of this stuff so far.
The Mr Beast is taking them longer to get their heads around (because they saw the kid-targeted content so young) but they’re getting there pretty quickly
Critical thinking, urgh, more of it needed

Loverboy - Working for the Weekend (Official Remastered HD Video) YouTube video by LoverboyVEVO

I see what you mean.

Unfortunately I’ll have to mark it down for also sounding too much like the beginning of Working for the Weekend by Loverboy. As I’ve posted before though, the chances are if that song is on, you’re involved in a montage youtu.be/dsgBpsNPQ50?...

Unfortunately *looks around at everything* there’s no way they could have known how prophetic it would be.

I like it 😔

That is an absolute banger!

And so much cowbell!

I think we may have a cowbell winner.

I will, and I’ll double check I’m aware of the song.

Will listen now.

Skodas of late seem like homing pigeons for garden centres.

The only time I looked at one to buy I lifted the panel that was over the spare wheel and it seemed to be made of hardboard, or something else which would last fifteen seconds below a wet beagle 😬

This is the only time Columbo’s first name is used.

It wasn’t always* the way, but I now think unpleasant thoughts when I see a Skoda.
