Look maybe I shouldn’t be taking issue with appearances And maybe ‘there’s no art/ to find the mind’s construction in the face’ but, again - Jaysus, the fuckin head on it
At twenty past seven this morning I was tearing down a far-right poster that some prick stuck onto a lamppost on our road overnight. Fucking pseudo-‘Gaedhalach’ nazis on my doorstep now.
So, Mr Bond, we meet at last.
They’re Clangers And I won’t hear a word against them, they’re wonderful.
Has he children of his own? (shudder) I wouldn’t want one of mine within ten feet of him.
And, lads, I mean, the fucking head on it. Serio, like.
It’s always a tell.
Genius
T’ain’t natural.
Frances de la Tour is the best Dr Who we never had , and it’s a bitter, crying shame.
Lo-fi Brit Sci-fi is just luscious
You did!
Hey someone’s traded my bookshelf from forty years ago. I knew I shouldn’t have left that wormhole open.

You’re right. It zhoud be Farzlow. It was Anglicised as Fartsloff but later modified to Barlow.
Remember this one?
Oh, deeply, deeply. Juvenile, even. So, Fartlow it is, then.
FARTLOW??!! she never had a chance really.
waka wake
Cornwall, too.
I’m just wondering when that cross is going to sprout little right angled end shoots
Was it crunchy and crinkley?
Or indeed his own. A decent shot of bleach will see him right.
Neither grief nor pride had so much truth in them as did joy, the joy that trembled in the cold wind between sky and sea, bright and brief as fire.
Homelessness is POLICY
Alexa, show me ‘Gombeen Man’
I think if Britain colonised your country of origin you should get free BBC iplayer.
Masterful argument sir lmao bsky.app/profile/rose...
They cant be fascists cause that would mean normal people and the establishment of my country would be fascists and that would make me upset

‘Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.’ Then all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ Deuteronomy 27:19
Nail on the fucking head.
Déirfinnse I gcónaí an dara leagan. Ach tá mo ghramadach go h’uafásach.
He meant ‘whale mites’.
Other practicing Christian here: the conflation of Jesus with the Creator makes gibberish of scripture. For shame.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Starbucks is shite
Anduril, Flame of the West, the Sword that was Broken Re-Forged. It’s Aragorn’s sword from LOTR. Another debased re-usage, along with Palantir. Shameful.

To the best of my memory, it was about a fiver , with a decent pot of tea alongside, when I was there last year.
Ah, they’re not that bad.

D’you know what’s deadly. Thickly butter and marmite toast. Carefully and quickly peel a hot soft-boiled egg (Under cold tap) and put it on the toast, whole. Eat with knife and fork and groans of pleasure.
There’s an old school bakery cafe in Tullamore that’ll do you a soft boiled egg with some in-house toast and I’ve never had a happier breakfast away from home.
It’s a rise-up toaster.
Our baby is at her first day of secondary and I’m butterflies for her.
Some of it kind of works, to be fair. But other bits would just make you cry laughing.
Everybody, everybody should read ‘English as She is Spoke’ C18 phrasebook compiled by a chap who had no English at all but was possessed of both a Portuguese/French and French/English dictionary. And a whole lot of confidence.
I made a mini-pond out of a bucket and some bits, a week or so ago, after I found a frog in the garden, and now it has tiny tadpoles in it. When the big bad things are just too big, the little things are a big help.
I had to learn Offaly speech for a play in Tullamore last year. I worked hard at it. In the pub after the show local fellas came up and were shocked that I wasn’t from round there at all . My proudest acting moment so far.

La République française... We will see you later today at Rock En Seine, Paris. We are on stage at 6.25pm. They've tried to stop us, they've failed. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité. 📸 Waterford
Legendary singer, songwriter Christy Moore backs our campaign to make sure the Central Bank of Ireland does not renew its Israel genocide bonds deal on September 2nd. These bonds directly fund apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. They must end this shameful complicity #StopFundingGenocide
Vonda McIntyre wrote the book
Russians? The guys who strolled in and out doing Novichok assassination? Don’t think they’re too engaged with anti-genocide pensioners, somehow.
It's simple, if you throw paint on a plane then you get proscribed and any 80 year olds defending you get arrested. If you ask people to burn down hotels, and they try, you get an interview in the Telegraph and positive coverage in the BBC. That's sensible, proportionate policing.
The novels are entrancing, magical, vivid, complex adventures as well as profound character and morality studies. Lots of danger and darkness, lots of redemption, and so much love it would break your heart open.
The caption’s accurate, it just means he’s both - he’s Peter Thiel *and* the Antichrist
No fightings
It was very sad, my local was St Pancras, really big place with a massive reference section upstairs, a real ‘street-corner university’.
As a political babe in the woods in late ‘70’s London when Thatcher’s gang got in, even I could see that the libraries being closed down meant the barbarians were inside the gates.
Our pals The Mary Wallopers have just been pulled off stage and the PA shut down at VictoriousFest in Portsmouth for taking out a 🇵🇸 flag and saying Free Palestine Speak up against genocide in England and you're treated like a criminal Up the Mary Wallopers 💚🤍🧡 Free Palestine! Free the 6 counties!
The existence of the US is predicated, and recently so, on the ethnic cleansing and expropriation of an entire continent.
Long live the Moomins.
There is no honour amongst thieves.
I learned to drive in central London, passed driving test first time. Moved back to Galway after many years. Shocked and scared by the low standards of driving here. Took two years to adjust. Still appalled by it.
I feel seen

Do raibh, ach beagán meirgeach :)
Bhí mo mháthair ina muinteoir Gaeilge don Uachtarán Mary Robinson tar éis dí bogadh isteach san Áras. Ní dúirt Mamaí focal mar gheall air ach gurb dalta maith í a d’obair go díon.
And didn’t a spy lose an eye by a chess-piece thrown through a keyhole, in the Sons of Usna sequence? Eye Spy!
They LOVE the fucking ‘housing crisis’. Manufactured scarcity, fear, insecurity - bumper harvest time for the landlord classes. Few things grind my gears so grittily.
Start with 'Excuse me, do you mind if I ask what you're reading' and take it from there.
is it just me or is this AI bubble/crash quicker than most? Seems like just few months since it was suddenly the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Asylum seekers housed in hotels have caused nothing but trouble ever since mobs of bigots who don't live in the area have been turning up to stage violent protests against them, according to a statement from a shirtless hooligan drinking cider on the roof of a police van.
Even Marvel would have trouble getting a superpower hero out of this one.
Sure wasn’t it written in the Aryan Islands, hah?

Dublin port is pretty stark all right. And Dún Laoghaire n’existe plus :(
Is 67mil a lot, in newsmax terms? Like will it hurt them, or just be the cost of doing business?
No, you see, John Boyne is entitled to free speech which means he can say and do what he wants, but nobody else is allowed to say or do anything that John Boyne doesn't like, because that's cancel culture.
Rickets is a deficiency disease! Nnnnggg!
But, fair’s fair now, Paul Gascoigne in his heyday was well known for bringing goals to Newcastle.
That’s ‘charitably ignoring’, I think you’ll find.
We can only hope
Without knowing one thing more about them, so do I .
No, Mick. No, it fucking isn't.
We had a Ukrainian lassie in our spare room for about a year; she had no trouble recognising a large, greedy, violent neighbour to the East who invaded and imposed a devastating famine.
🇺🇦 Re-upping this one in the name of decency and democracy. Slava Ukraini!
Minus any of Peugeot’s charm, it was a dodgy silvery re-spray over the original lime green, and a tinny little rattletrap rustbucket all round. But it went. For a while, anyway. Sometimes.
Mine was a knackered Leyland MiniMetro. Most people will probably have to look up what that was. In fact I think I might have to.
Ah ok sorry, got that wrong
Tool is right.
