I can usually suss out why a Meta site suddenly starts to bombard me with weirdly specific posts/groups/ads/whathaveyou but am thoroughly at a loss as to why I’ve suddenly become inundated with anything and everything Tim Curry related. There are certainly worse Tims to be haunted by I guess.
just the most farcical excuse for a global hegemon ever. rank amateurism all round.
After a short pause, these parties will then start braying about black holes and maxxed out credit cards and demanding cuts to the justice system, or the prisons, or social care or whatever.
The News Agents @thenewsagents.c... • 5m "It's clear Starmer has learnt from Iraq. Blair does not seem to have done so." Tony Blair has said that Keir Starmer "should have backed America from the very beginning" in the Iran war.
Tony has learned he can bullshit the nation into a disastrous war; refuse to admit to any wrongdoing; get rewarded for it with seats at the top tables of business and government, plus a zillion pounds and a knighthood. Why would he change his mind now?
I still say leaving Usenet was a mistake...
the eastern hemisphere must take off our cultural blinkers and accept that other ways of thinking exist; the fact that our societies view you as unfit for high office if you're suffering age-related cognitive decline does not make that a universal truth
Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.
counterpoint: Karl Marx would have written 5000 words in praise of the fanciest coffee shit imaginable.
As I've said before, back in the before times, when films came out much later in the UK we saw this on a trip to the US (at the end of its run in a DC suburb) so we saw it unspoilered and it's set up so you don't know Jessica Rabbit isn't a rabbit until you see her
Consider the number of times Bugs Bunny fooled humans in to thinking he was a sexy lady and compare with the number of times Droopy or Pluto managed to do the same and it’s undeniable
I have just learned that humans are more closely related to rabbits than the dogs or cats and I don't know why that should unnerve me, but
OFCOM all over this like a sloth on diazepam wielding a feather duster
Do you remember the woman who was fired from an unpaid job at a poetry magazine for saying that poetry wasn't the most important thing in the world?
Hard to believe it’s 35 years since the deregulation of the TV listings
We had, in the late 70s early 80s a TV with a remote (and Teletext). You could turn it off remotely but not on, there was basically a spring loaded button and a solenoid so when you turned it off the solenoid moved and the spring pushed the switch to the off position
A friend has the sofa (sort of chaise longue) on which he was told by his parents that he was conceived
And as for Jeremy Jeremy Woof Woof Bang Bang
We for one are reminded of this classic
CAN YOU DO THIS, I THINK A CAR JUST QUACKED AT ANOTHER CAR I CAN;'T DEAL WITH THIS ON A TUESDAY MORNING I HAVE ONLY HAD ONE CUP OF COFFEE
For the people who did far more than save a few trees 👇

Polanski basically seems to have a grasp on politics/policy which is very similar to the average left-ish normie, which is good for becoming popular but has no follow through for governance.
Eventually it will be the last resort and we will be forced to, just as Windows increasing obnoxiousness is forcing us into the arms of Linux (ugh)
I demand to speak to your manager (*)
(*) Underlying cognitive layer
people in work ChatGPT Teams are sharing their "instructions" to their bots, and one of them uses "do not hallucinate" and I want to fucking scream.
If only the government hadn't abolished OFCOM and the DCMS
At some point I fear they will
…And includes this rather good methodology comment…
This is very good…
