"Son, why are you sleeping downstairs on the sofa?" "There was a giant spider in my room. Enormous!" "Did you not try to catch it?" "I threw my pillow at it and then it chased after me!" 😂

They clearly didn't take a monopoly in gold plastic mouldings.
Somebody hire Brother Mouzone.
Next he'll turn it into wine.
It's weird how society changes over the years and you forget. I was thinking about the death of my grandfather in the early eighties and how two police officers knocked at the front door to inform us. And they did this for every death. Not just those part of criminal investigations.
Well, I wouldn't expect anything less from a government they put into power.
When people talk about American involvement in war it's always Ukraine, or the Middle East etc. But there's never any mention of the 40+ countries US special forces are currently deployed in either fighting covert war or training indigenous forces to fight proxy war.
They want them sweeping chimneys or pulling coal out of mines.
For a "failing" social media platform which "nobody visits" it sure attracts a lot of interest from the GOP.
-isms are just a rhetorical means to an end. I could pick a hundred people, ask them to define capitalism, communism, socialism etc. and get a hundred completely different answers. Which gets us nowhere. But that's the point of them.
The conflict between simply switching Trump off or reacting to everything he says and pushing back is a profound question. Without an audience Trump dies. It's that simple. But if we all ignore him he can do a hell of a lot of damage before he does. Navigating this dilemma is a challenge.
This is not a criticism of you or the game (which looks great). But there are some who would say the good image at the bottom is the one on the left.
Can you get me a ticket there?
I never thought someone could make me feel sorry for Bolton. John fucking Bolton!
Anyone looking at #Spain under #Franco as the model for how the US can recover under #Trump has no understanding of Spanish history. Or Franco. The usual play for fascist governments is for them to become more fascist until the whole system implodes and the country is left in ruins.
Giving the GOP and the Heritage Foundation everything they want (an environment in which gerrymandering is completely permissible) is not an effective strategy.
Much wants more. Always.
Getting glazed by AI (ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Grok ... take your pick) very quickly becomes tiresome. I could tell it I'm opening a tin of beans and you'd swear I'd just penned the Magna Carta!
I cancelled after I got bored of seeing the same 20 choices. Although I do give them credit for not resorting to Netflix tactics of a 200 decibel preview bursting my ear drums every time I mouse over one of their selections. 🤬
What THE HELL is #Adobe playing at? For years Photoshop just worked. Now it's buggy as hell and requires massively parallel super-cooled GPUs and a fifty terabyte swapfile just to type a line of text. 🤬
I was a WACOM man for years. Then I was a XENCELABS guy when WACOM began dropping the ball (the build quality is so much better - especially the pens). But right now neither come close to the Apple Pen combined with my iPad Pro. The control and feel in apps such as Procreate is just next level.
Who's dressing these guys? Certainly not Hugo Boss. MAGA is so cheap...
Are the Jets going to stink again this season?
He always pays the mob contractors. Especially the Russian ones ... 😉
They sent less men and equipment to save Private Ryan 20 miles behind enemy lines and surrounded by German panzers.
Cuomo knows he doesn't stand a chance. He's just doing it as a favour to the elites which he can call in at a later date.
Imagine thinking Zohran needs your endorsement ...
Eventually, they will all bend the knee to him.
They needed more guys and firepower than they sent to save Private Ryan!
If you could get into the mind of Trump I think people would be surprised at his opinion of Mamdani. WRT Zohran's ability to dominate the media landscape - if Trump doesn't in fact like him - there's a grudging respect (none for Cuomo). Which is why he thinks he's already won. Game recognizes game.
Bondi is so going to jail when the wheels finally drop off this clown car.
By "Great Contractors" he means "Mob Contractors".
I think people are giving Trump a bit too much credit for some of the above. He's not smart enough to perpetrate and cover up a hit on Epstein. That would have been carried out by the people Trump is fronting for who are a thousand times more cunning and ruthless and prefer to operate in the shadows
His tech-bro buddies only helped him because they believed Vance would get the job next election. If Trump reneges on this agreement (Trump reneges on every agreement) they will move against him.
The thing is - Trump has practically admitted Zohran is certain to win. Game recognizes game.
The Kennedys. If they're not getting their brains blown out they're exploding/crashing planes (six separate incidents since WWII - five of which were fatal - including this one) or "choking on a piece of meat at dinner" ...
So there REALLY WAS a "Red under the bed"?!? Who knew?!?
For nearly a week I've been depressed after dropping my phone and cracking the screen. Then I realized I'd only cracked the screen protector. Phone intact - good. Feeling like the world's biggest dummy - bad.
Nope. But that's the future they wish to bestow upon us. Everything will be quantified.
He's worse than his mentor - Richard Nixon - for having an anti-intellectual streak. And to Trump an intellectual is anyone who can add two numbers together.
Pretty similar. Ours pass them off to specialist centres or University vets. It strikes me their job is way more difficult because of the number of species. Hard to specialize. I mean, it's one thing to evaluate the performance of a human surgeon. How good are these people?
If corporations can hire ex-spooks, wire-tappers, psychological warfare specialists, former special forces, hackers, mob strike-breakers then it's only fair Joe Public should be able to crowd-source their services, too - right? More job satisfaction than you'd get working for ICE!! Capitalism, baby!
She would be a great spook. Pity her cover is blown ...
I think it's happening everywhere. Don't get me wrong. There are a lot of fantastic vets out there. But the number of times I've seen them advocate treatments (especially experimental surgeries) whose benefits are dubious and leave the pet with a miserable standard of life is growing. 😢
Zohran isn't doing anything more than calling out people for what they are. I mean, there was a time when politicians and journos weren't terrified of walking up to someone like Trump in public and saying, "Holy FUCK!! Why are you giving out sweetheart deals to a CHILD SEX TRAFFICKER?!?"
"You call something a war and ... everybody gonna be running around acting like warriors. They gonna be running around on a damn crusade, ... racking up body counts. And when you at war, you need an enemy. And soon the neighborhood that you're supposed to be policing is just occupied territory."
I'm not American so I can't comment on the state of veterinary medicine over there. Here in the UK there seems to be a growing number of vets whose ethical standards are less than satisfactory. I'm not saying they're exploiting the love we have for our pets purely for profit but .... it's sketchy
Midnight Cowboy was the movie which made me realize Dustin Hoffman benefits from a director who just says, "No!"
No cure for marriage.
Weird. You're the third person I know who has received the full McDonald's treatment this week. Oh for the days when people used to look forward to a Big Mac.
Right .... so how do you propose to get said nuclear reactor to the moon? On one of Elon's exploding rockets? It's one thing to launch a compact RTG used to power satellites or space probes. A nuclear reactor going boom in high orbit would scatter fissionable material across the globe!
So if the "methodology" is "wrong" that means it was wrong for every other administration stretching back to god knows when. Which means there's no baseline for a "right" methodology to be compared against. Why don't you just spin a giant roulette table and have done with it?
Selling? He'd get the American taxpayers to pay Putin to take it!
That stupid grin of the chronically constipated ...
The Z-Man is just killing it.
Seeing as we helped to build it I guess we only have ourselves to blame.
Did Pam Bondi buy a Monkey's Paw at the old curiosity shop in DC? You can literally see her age one year for every month she spends working for Trump.
Bondi's aged five years in six months.
You don't militarize the capitol to fight crime. You do it because you are terrified of being overthrown.
You don't militarize a capitol city to fight crime. You do it because you're scared of being overthrown.
There's only one reason you militarize the capitol. And it has nothing to do with crime.
There's only one reason you militarize the capitol. And it has nothing to do with crime.
Bondi looks like she's had too many sleepless nights. Something's up.
Possibly. But I get the feeling something else might be afoot. I've always said Trump is Richard Nixon 2.0. And locking down DC is straight out of the Nixon playbook...
Then Godspeed to you. 👍
I think Trump going down would bring a great deal of joy to many people. Like waking up from a nightmare. We can dream!
Just stay safe. If something goes down remember - discretion is the better part of valor. Lot of crazies around these days...
Scared people are dangerous people. Especially this lot who by now all realize their only protection is staying in office.
Find the birth certificate. Find the death certificate. See who signed off on them and squeeze.
This has nothing to do with crime. Going as far back as the Romans - you don't bring outside forces into the capitol for fear of a coup. They're scared. It's written all over the faces. Either they think something is afoot or they're about to drop a bombshell which will result in blowback
Going all the way back to the Romans - you don't bring outside forces into the capitol because of the risk of a coup. For them to do this it tells us they are either concerned something is afoot or they are about to drop a bombshell which they believe will receive major pushback. They're scared.
Governments going as far back as the Romans don't like bringing troops, cops and paramilitaries into the capitol because of the risk of a coup. This has nothing to do with crime. They're spooked something is afoot. Or they are about to drop a bombshell which they feel will receive pushback.
Governments DO NOT like putting troops, cops and paramilitaries on the streets of the capitol unless they sense jeopardy.
You don't commit these kinds of assets to the Capitol unless something is afoot. They're scared. It's written all over their faces.
They're scared. Something is afoot and they are scared.
Pardon incoming ...
Someone really drew snake-eyes creating characters for this RPG.
"Negotiate"? 😂 He's coming to give the orders!
Tyrannical regimes are never as strong as people believe. Take the Nazis, for instance. There was a time (between '40 & 41) when the British realized keeping Hitler in power was the best way to defeat Nazi Germany. Which is why they blew the names of Stauffenberg's co-conspirators on BBC radio.
Game recognizes game. Trump knows neither Cuomo nor Adams are capable of defeating Zohran. He's just trying to keep the family onside as he's always in need of favors in New York.
He (or she) who tells the truth gets chased out of nine villages ...
In order to save the village we had to destroy it ...
This is how you make a sequel. Not rehashing the same old shit over, and over, and over again. It's interesting that the island society set up in 28 Years Later very much mirrors those who went into the movie with expectations not met.
"Poison Lips" by Vitallic. What an absolute BANGER! Taken from "The Legend of Kaspar Hauser" (2012) starring Vincent Gallo (dancing very, very badly). Reminds me of Curve's "I Feel Love" although someone pointed out it's very similar to Blondie. youtu.be/TWzagif6Jag?...
You should add "A pound of ground beef - which nobody in Europe would touch without full biohazard protection ..." 😉
Yes. One of many. Goldsmith. Williams. John Barry. The best.
Dagnall & Robertson are two of the best kids I've seen in my life. The former - a freakish athlete who has now scored 4 tries in similar fashion this season. Robertson - if he stays fit - will become a RL immortal. One of a handful of players in my life who can sidestep BEFORE receiving the ball.
Most people don't know Peter Hyams' 1978 thriller, Capricorn One, about three astronauts caught in NASA's plan to fake a Mars landing was, up till shooting, about faking a lunar landing (NASA threatened to sue). It's the reason they use an Apollo LEM which is totally unsuitable for Mars insertion
Trump and his cronies will eventually put The Onion out of business.
He's a terrible tipper, returns library books late and does noisy DIY in his apartment at 6AM on a Sunday morning.
Without wishing to cut Trump some slack - this is nothing new. America is a country built on myths and outright lies. I mean, the difference between perceptions of how and why the Constitution came into being and how and why it actually came into being are like night and day.
Nah, America has always been a country built on myths and outright lies. I mean the difference between perceptions of how the US Constitution came into being and how it actually came into being is like night and day.
Tesla was fetishized by many before Bowie was a glimmer in his parents' eyes.
There's a weird group outraged by any suggestion Giuffre didn't kill herself. Disrespectful to those suffering from mental health issues, traumatizing the family etc. I see that. But, Giuffre's issue was nobody believed her. Yet when she claims she wasn't suicidal we're back to not believing again?🤷
The US can kick rocks.
Because they lie about everything. They should just attach a NOT gate to the White House news stream.
Or a neat way to keep your tea warm! Which is cozy!
