Luke is 100% correct. We're literally spending a huge daily amount on an illegal war. We spent how many tens of millions on planes for the entire regime. The vacations these people take would break the rest of us after just one. If someone wants to buy a bag of chips, let them.

Panel 1 - Jellico: When Admiral Necheyev asked if I’d be willing to take on this assignment, she asked if I could perform under pressure.
Panel 2 - Jellico: I said I don’t know that one, but I could take a shot at Bohemian Rhapsody.
Panel 3 - Riker - slackjawed as usual
Panel 4 - Enterprise warps away

Riker's just a poor boy, he needs no sympathy....

Halfway to rent and our rent is due TOMORROW! Jittery time lapse representing the state of my mind.

€1000 over two days is highly unlikely but very sale saves us from accumulating more debt!

I don't know why the idea of finding an image in the grooves of a Laserdisc with a microscope is amazing, but it is!

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

Donate to Help Rebuild Cece’s Salon After Devastating Fire, organized by Callum Henry Yesterday we were celebrating something special. Cece’s had just marked … Callum Henry needs your support for Help Rebuild Cece’s Salon After Devastating Fire

Like many others, my wee sister lost her business in yesterday's fire on Union Street. If anyone is willing to donate, no matter how small, it would be greatly appreciated. She's devastated and just celebrated the 4th anniversary of her salon on Saturday as well.

Will you settle for my 1950s Kitchen extension having a terrazzo floor and every Irish town with a population above 5000 having an ice-cream joint called Cafollas?

Yes, I can't see anyone actually wanting to take out Central Station, but lots of other blazes seem decidedly suspect.

Yes, a cynic MIGHT leap to all kinds of conclusions.

And it breaks my heart to see this happen to Glasgow again. One of my favourite cities.

Belfast, like Glasgow, has a curious history of historically important buildings which are standing in the way of soulless new construction projects mysteriously burning down.

The mere process of listing a building seems to make it more flammable.

When he recorded Shane MacGowan's The Dunes, Ronnie Drew felt the verse about dipping sauces was simply too harrowing to include.

Also, a whole chapter of my doctoral thesis addresses horror TV movies and your book was invaluable there and alerted me to multiple titles I'd otherwise not have stumbled upon.

I do hope the success of Hoppers will lead more folk to director Daniel Chong's sublime animated series We Bare Bears - which is similarly full of wit and invention and also has Asian Americans befriending wild life in Northern California.

How Pixar’s Open Sexism Ruined My Dream Job (Guest Column) A former Pixar employee writes that after John Lasseter's departure, the company still has a lot of work to do to fix its sexist culture.

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

Without Debra’s support, encouragement and guidance, I wouldn’t have become a producer. #DebraHill was one of my heroines, and I was blessed to have her as my mentor. I miss her so much.
