She was promoting her disability charity and Angelone popped up with 'we know you're a big supporter of prosthetic limbs because you were supporting a Saudi arms festival on Twitter this week'
I don't watch much TV these days, but seeing Vittorio Angelone absolutely ripping into a very unamused looking Penny Mordaunt on #TheLastLeg was hilarious.
Perfect:

Here's a video that explains how this happened: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwDp...
Do you have a favourite Sci-fi universe?
Mine is Bank's Culture
Mo Mowlam was a much more pivotal figure, and is much missed.
I think he will have a chance in the next general election, but he's just too toxic when it's a straight shootout for a single seat.
I should probably rephrase that..
Sleaford Mods on stage in The Olympia in Dublin. Two lads of a certain age being very loud in front of a similar demographic
Another great Sleaford Mods gig tonight. Anger is an energy.
Great gig. The production has definitely gone up a few steps since their earlier gigs in Dublin.
From a small amount of digging, which you may well have done yourself, it seems The Irish Press owned it 20 years ago. Article here: archive.is/d1fWu
Not sure of the status, or assets of Thoms Publications Ltd.
In theory anything older than 1955 should be in the public domain, but IANAL
I went down a rabbit hole earlier that started with the film Network. Apparently Peter Finch, who played Howard Beale in that, was something of a lothario. One of his affairs was with Shirley Bassey.
Bassey had a daughter at the time, which was something of a surprise to her openly gay husband.
Thank you.
I know that reporting on distributed solar is an issue here in Ireland. We don't quite have the level of incoming radiation or installed capacity to generate an obvious duck curve.
Is that all solar, or just grid connected solar?
I've been on a few of these trips recently. Always good fun and it's great to meet the people behind the beer.
For some of us peak internet was alt.fan.karl-malden.nose
I've been on Reddit for 15+ years and even from the start it's been a poor relation to discussion forums.
Of course those forums themselves were a poor relation to Usenet.
40 years of ongoing enshittification.
Chastening first half. France are on a different level, especially in the air.

Excellent, I'll DM you in a couple of weeks when I get my current yoke over the line.
That's definitely a discussion to have over coffee/pint. I'm mad busy for the next couple of weeks, but maybe somewhere in town towards the end of the month?
My kids are either Spotify or Tidal. My card expired recently.
I only updated one.
I guess the Tidal kid is my favourite.
I work a lot at the location and address level.
That's a great explanation of just how complex the ownership level gets, and makes me thankful I don't have to deal with that much.
Ha! I'm half expecting Dupont to win a medal somehow nonetheless
I presume #ThisIsWhyTheSixNationsIsStartingOnThursday is a bit unwieldy?
A correction for the ages (from The Guardian's review of 'Melania'):
Good luck, looks like you've landed on your feet there.
Agree with his. I'm a geographer, so I get to do both. They often work hand-in-hand.
Flood modelling involves lots of STEM, for example. How that impacts on peoples lives is Humanities driven.
Perhaps their all-encompassing knowledge does include how to have fun, and to what extent precisely. They may have moved beyond mere gearboxes however.
I recently spoke at an event run by their society. I'd like to think my presence drew the crowd, but I suspect it was the free Christmas lunch afterwards.
Jaws Poster vibes.
