Anyone else unable to listen to Blue by Yoko Kanno without wanting to sob like a child?

If I had a penny for every time there was a shooting by my wife's school, I'd have two pennies. Which isn't a lot but still pretty weird.

Yes, for my sins, I saw Andromeda. Tyr still rules.

Got up early on Sunday mornings to watch Deepwater Black on Channel 4. Also called Mission Genesis. Starring a young Ezri Dax and Harper from Andromeda.

"Mr Flames, let's come to you. Would it be fair to say that if people want to own things, they just be prepared for those things to burn in cleansing fire?"

*Rumbling, crackling fire noises*

"Joining us today is a firefighter who nearly died in their heroic attempt to put out the blaze. We also have the living embodiment of the Flames of Destruction, which claims that destruction is part of creation and fire will one day claim us all. Good morning to you both."

The BBC would both sides the union street fire if they could.

What the actual hell

that is WILD

Feel very strange going to bed with the possibility I could get up and Glasgow Central could be gone. A genuinely instrumental place in so many lives, including mine. I used to work on the railway too, huge love to all my pals still there.

Olympus has fallen

Out of control fire will never not be terrifying.

Stay safe, Glasgow. X

The venn diagram of people who think Walter White was a heroic figure and people who like Homelander and Omni-Man is a circle so perfect it'll be studied by mathematicians for centuries.

Total obliteration at the next election, a wipeout of biblical proportions. Everything he does, says and thinks is wrong.

There's something about the way she phrases this that I don't like. "In the wrong place on trans." Just saying "trans" as shorthand for "transgender rights" or "the discrimination against trans people". It's a word that means a bucket or category of issue, a box to check off, not people's lives.

That's certainly one way of getting support from your base (religious extremists)

Between Brewdog, Labour and Dubai eating it, a very specific type of guy is having the worst time and they absolutely deserve it.

Felt a great swell of pride on my son the other day. He picked up a letter and read it. My wife said it wasn't his, but he said it was addressed to his sister's parent or guardian. He was incensed, "I'm her guardian!"

Had to explain it just meant responsible adult and not sworn protector. He's 14.

The labour government are genuinely never knowingly on the right side of anything, are they? Almost impressively, doggedly wrong at every turn.

A war in Iran will push up interest rates and energy prices, which is bad. But just wait till this collides with the AI bubble bursting. Less of a financial crash and more of a financial comet from deep space.

The NYT is no angel.

British people moving back from Dubai should be taxed at 100% until we’ve made up the difference

It can be simultaneously true that Iranians can want their despotic leaders overthrown or killed and also not want their schools to be obliterated from the sky

Not the most important takeaway from maga chuds making money off war on Kalshi, but it's been true they started offering next manager markets at the bookies - it's incredibly stupid to bet on something where someone knows the right answer.

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

Very weird for Scots and Northern Irish to hear right-wingers going on about sectarianism by the way.

"We must stamp out sectarianism!"

"Well that's surprisingly progressive of you... Oh, you mean Muslims, not royalist pro-union anti-Catholics. Carry on."

It'll be a stoner GI Joe who accidentally enlisted and bumbles his way through warzones while accidentally wooing a young waif female lead. The ending will fumble so hard you'll feel it in your stomach.

Also he's a vile, vile person.

This only applied if you lost an election to some screaming right wing fascist, the only kind of electoral victory which is allowed to represent the Real Will Of The People. If you lose to someone who doesn't agree with a billionaire newspaper editor that means someone cheated.

Labour: why don't you all fuck off LOL
Labour: no not like that
