Dude went to hospital to garner sympathy after he got arrested for saying if you see a trans woman in a bathroom you should, and I quote here, "punch him in the balls" The outcome of his little performative trip was being told it was "neither life threatening nor life changing" so nothing then.

True, although it's fair to say that the french were the primary funders of the war for the americans as they saw it as a way to weaken british forces that were in the process of fighting them elsewhere. Indeed by time of american independence spain was fast becoming an ally against france.

It’s unlikely the events of 1066 would have have any standing on the empire. It arguably owes more to the individual revolution which happened at the start of the empire building than it does to an invasion 700 years previous.

Joking aside I think the answer is yes. Gb is a small island with a long history of being invaded successfully or otherwise. The idea that wouldn’t build a large navy and then use that to invade others isn’t that viable.

There is an argument to be made that the US only exists as an independent country is because of French colonialism. Aside from the Louisiana purchase, it’s unlikely that the US would have gained independence from the UK without both French support and British forces fighting the French elsewhere.

It was a 2 way street though, much to the surprise of the empire. Those cultures the empire sought to colonise slowly but surely colonised the UK. It obviously was to a lesser extent (not claiming colonisation was good for the colonised obviously) but it's had a long time to work its magic.

This is so true and especially in the UK. We were a tiny island with an oversized navy, that 300 hundred years or so ago, decided it was going to steal a bunch of the habitable land and resources worldwide. Not our finest hour, or indeed couple of centuries, to be honest.

Won’t happen. The news structure for the bbc is wildly different to the rest of it. On the bbc news side you still have a majority of salaried staff working “in house”. If the work in politics then an awful lot of them will have a goal of working for a political party in coms.

personally im erring towards the latter. No way pills wouldn't be noticed by kids. I'm guessing it was a failed attempt to get coverage and a way to target "liberals"

Heres the completed version. Decided to chuck it up on Redbubble. #skatesky #artsky www.redbubble.com/i/holographi...

A cartoon skull with 1 raised eyebrow and a missing tooth. Behind it are 2 crossed skateboards, the wheels are pointing up and the decks are scratched.

People will be terrified of overdosing on Jamón Ibérico from skin contact next.

so racist he got kicked out of the political party with a leader who used to sing hitler youth songs as a kid... Getting kicked out of Reform for racism is a genuinely difficult thing to do.

Absolutely true. No one is entitled to anyone else’s time let alone energy. We don’t expect it IRL so it’s kinda weird people think online is any different.

Baked cucumber chips? A little salt and a fuckload of dill. Probably need a mandolin or similar ti get consistency thickness wise. They are more more-ish than a couple of rocks of crack.

Snoop vs @flavorflav.bsky.social ? That shit ain’t even close. Fuck homophobia. Fuck transphobia. The highest of fives for flavor.

Alas for a drunken bet some 18 months previous I had learned the basics of both the waltz and the foxtrot as part of a drunken bet. It turned out the “modern primitive” could dance better than her… class it turns out cares little for upbringing.

The music was The Blue Danube. A waltz. Me being me says yeah, why not? She grabs my hand and just as she start to me around I start to waltz with me leading not her. She’d only ever danced the waltz in an all girls school but tried to embarrass me because she thought I was uncultured.

Flashback to me me too n 2000 meeting fiends in the Grande Place in the centre of Brussels. Neon pink undercut, baggy as fuck jeans, puffy skate trainers and a race full of piercings. An “ex pat” public school survivor girl takes my hand to dance with the light show.

As a skater in the late 90s with a head full of piercings it was a term I had applied to me a lot. Mostly by public school kids who read too much Bizarre magazine

It’s a reference to late 90s/early 00s description of piercing/tattoo culture as “modern primitives”. It was filled with the problematic cultural appropriation that flooded such times. My nod was as ironic as this hope you would assume

Actual gangsters/murderers etc are hard targets, they’re tooled up and shoot back. Classical violinists not so much. It’s no wonder ICE take the easiest option when the government doesn’t doesn’t give a fuck.

You set a numbers based target for bonus related pay, people will take the easiest option. It’s not necessarily deliberate but it is the entirely predictable outcome from lazy design… not that they care.
