So is 'the scientific method' the same as 'the rhythm method' for not becoming pregnant (ie not at all reliable). This is the strategy now - make all results/polls/methodology subject to question, and then what Trump says is what's 'true'.

Thank you and good luck with your projects

Why can't these people just say 'the idiots are fucking more... and thereby pissing in the country's gene pool'? At least that would be accurate and not using euphemisms like 'above replacement levels' How eugenicy does that sound?!

But this is surly isolating the ignorance so it can be better avoided... though obviously the vaccination in this case is books, teachers and... oh, education. Doh!
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
This seems to be Trumps strategy: make people distrust everything so the truth becomes whatever he says it is, even when it's not.

So which snacks and condiments would meet the level of indictment? A jar full of pickles or maybe a milkshake? (i know the latter's not a condiment, but it is potentially messy).

Except Miller looks like a haunted pencil, so god knows what he's doing mouthing off about elderly 90 year old hippies. They've more life in them than this gaunt cadaver needing to be propped up by some second hand military geezer.

At least he can get Mail from Moscow

Isolationism at its best... we'll ship to Canada though. Maybe they can... oh sod it, stuff 'em.

Shocking, sad, but sadly unsurprising (or likely will be).

Poor boy looked knackered from the starting grid. Did he need oxygen by the end?

Hadn't even heard of Cracker Barrel before but now I'm feeling bereft... Only kidding, 'cracker barrel' to me sounds like a holding pen for idiots (generally of the conspiracy theory/lunatic fringe right and MAGA persuasion)... Or 'home' as they're likely to call it. Oh well, live and learn.

Ah, simpler safer times. Could almost get nostalgic for a time when wrong and evil were just that... and not a primordial President

At least they can get Sesame Street to act it out for future voters.

But male voting happens in many countries... as well as Mail voting and there's been sod all corruption in it (well perhaps a tincy wincy bit). :)

Putins expression says it all. Even a tyrannical dictator looks uncomfortable saking his hand.
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
Because Putin is like those animals/fish that excrete venom inside the 'predators' body, and then escape the carcass. Deep down, Trump knows he'll be sleeping with the fish one way or another.

Thank you. Been driving for 3 hours, just stopped and saw this. Made me smile. Lovely.

But then I find if you can't finish a book, maybe it's not the right time for that book to be in your life. It will be when the time is right... However, Kerouac's 'on the road' has failed this test 3 times. Burroughs, bukowski and Brautigan all passed 1st time, so who knows, eh
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
I hope this is genuine... because it should be if it's not

You've had quite an adventure and its been nice watching vicariously:)
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
He should do us all a favour and jump the fuck off it. That's a broadcast of his I'd watch, on loop. Never thought you'd get a worse, more corrupt president than Nixon, but Trump is the Kilamanjaro of crassness, narcissism, and venality, not to mention the mariana trench of intellect.

MTG asking 'do you know where your children are?' Personally I'm more worried about where 'adults' like her are... regardless of any damn curfew.

Oh, hang on, just saw this was from the onion... my mistake. Truth & satire becoming uncomfortably close nowadays.

You've put the arsonist in charge of running the fire department. Is this the worm in his brain talking or actually the skin suit called RFK?

And they have the audacity to call everyone else snowflakes... hope he's paying rent on the office if he's using it as his abode. Unlikely and doubt the interviewer would ask such a probing and impertinent question.

Its becoming such a shitshow now. Genuinely sorry one man has decided to take a massive belligerent dump on your country and then expects the population to swallow it (metaphorically, at least).

Hate that. Sorry your car got damaged. Such a pain in the arse.
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed. Best to watch the explosions from afar... Scary, sordid times though.
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
Do they actually have to heed the call, since it is ultimately unconstitutional and therefore morally reprehensible? Not from US so sorry if this is a dumb question, but having to jump for Scrotus seems like a wrong thing to have to do.

I'm waiting for that Spartacus moment... 'I'm Illegal.', 'No, I'm Illegal!', 'No, I'm...' Oh the joy of crappy film misquotations. (Not that Spartacus is a crap film, coz it's not).

You'd have thought Trump had already got a pretty vast and accurate dataset from Musk's doge debacle, or did he take that with him when he was kicked out the White House? Someone pass Scrotus that box of crayons. Let's hope he chokes on them

Sorry if this is a nerdy question, but are these covers just US edition or general, eg in uk?

Sorry, but did you expect this bunch of snakeoil selling grifters to act any better? It's a bit like being surprised when the eat-your-face party actually does what it says. Where was the push back when it could've made a difference?

Just had a look at some of your other works. There's a real Hopper feel to some. Love it.
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
Got to wonder how many of these social media arguers would take it to a real-life venue (bar, shop, etc) & then get aggrieved if something happened to them. My rule of thumb: 'Would you say it if your gran was there?' No? Pipe down. Yes? Maybe gran was the problem & being an arsehole is generational

I hear the proboscus is longer than the mango Mussolini's shrivelled mushroom, so maybe there's a little jealousy on such a beautiful bird

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Great show... with regards to community etc - social media creates a false community where you're mostly still on your own. This makes the 'my' more important than the communal ie shared spaces and how to behave in them. Maybe its why MySpace was called that? Iain

That didn't age well did it (the ad that is). Sooner the mango Mussolini is out the better... but the rot of mistrust that gave him power will still be there, as will the stench of his venal nothing matters but me, so a change back will be harder than you think, sadly.

Finally the mango Mussolini's Teflon status seems to be fading. Now is the time for a proper insurrection. Get rid of him and his toadying cretins.
iainrowland.bsky.social (@iainrowland.bsky.social) reply parent
All to protect scrotus, the possibly pedo president? Or is it just a break so the cretins can be given time in a re-education room. Not at all fascist or 1984ish.
