.....and helplessness.
Hopefully she doesn't....
I admire your optimism. Just remember that some of the people "in charge" are far from sane
It's funny how vaccines worked so well that now infant mortality is low enough for all the new generations to forget it was ever a common thing. Vaccine stability has made us forget why it was so important in the first place. Before vaccines, 450 children died out of every 1000. Now? 20.
Some of the Yes songs will stand the test of time. A lot of the early stuff is really great. Being an old git I had the privilege of seeing them live in Edinburgh - must have been '73 or '74. Superb gig but boy was it loud!. One friend got right down front and couldn't hear properly for days....
Not much of a metal fan from what I've heard. It's always a case of too much music available and not enough time. Been catching up on some stuff I've missed like AC/DC Back in Black, which sadly I find un-listenable, but only because of the appalling screaming vocalist - guitar work is superb.
Looking at RFL jr in this video it's clear that he's way out of his depth and appears to be cracking up.
Can we please not hear any more about Angela Rayner. I'm not a fan but there are more important things to worry about.
I have to say I really like that. The style reminds me of something which I can't place - it will pop up eventually. As for Eurovision, I haven't the patience to sit through it - I'd end up throwing things at the TV ๐ฌ
Weirdly I never connected with Genesis. It has always been the blues orientated stuff like Mayall, Clapton, Zeppelin, Trower, Hendrix and so on. Quite liked Yes though.
Lack of interest. I'm also of that generation and know plenty people same age who had no interest in music. Sad but true.
You've made my mouth water...
If you listen to one thing today ๐๐๐ bsky.app/profile/wear...
Classic example of a total waste of media time & effort. Expedient headlines, lazy appalling journalism. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Stupendous.
I welcome them all (obvs not any criminals). And we need the workforce! They should be given NI numbers and allowed to work as soon as they arrive.
We get reduced temperature via stress with our cat Titch, and reduced serum potassium. He hyperventilates due to stress (cats lose heat through panting) so his temp goes down, and the adrenaline causes reduced serum potassium. So I'd be cautious about temp being high.
None of us will exist if WW3 starts. Mind you, I wouldn't put it past China to have the capability to blow all US missiles out of the sky.
It's a great thing for the planet. GDP will drop, but that's OK with less people (eventually). I seem to remember reading years ago that the UK can support about 22M without imports. We'll find out soon enough as global warming ramps up ๐ฌ
It's about time all Democrat politicians take some leaves from your book and realise that they too can appeal to real working people. It's long overdue that Democrat stops meaning "slightly left of Republican".
I did EMail them a list of my reasons, but they'll fall on deaf ears.
Me too, resigned a few weeks ago. What a shambles they have become. Totally out of touch with real people.
Stop it with the positive explanations ๐
I really enjoy it ๐
It gets more bizarre by the day. I just hope Polanski can generate huge momentum very quickly. Wishful thinking I know, but I need to stay optimistic ๐ค๐ฌ
This seems to confirm that US Democrats are just watered down Republicans. Given Mamdani is so popular in New York maybe it would be a good idea to follow his example and appeal to real people. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Food for thought; Hell, it's a feast for thought.
I mean, social media is definitely an accelerant here but... lmao, come on
No way he'll be alive in 2029.
This
Nice one ! ๐บ๐บ๐บ
It's just people trying to look on the bright side.

Sack that presenter immediately!
If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?
Make sure you get the ones which are impossible to peel off in one piece and always leave sticky ripped bits on the glass ๐ผ
Agreed. ASAP before he drags Labour further down. But who steps up?
(1) The US econony is heading for serious trouble with cost of living going through the roof. People cannot live with that. (2) Putin's days as a warmonger are numbered as he's running out of troops, equipment and money. If Ukraine can hang on another 12 to 18 months Russia loses.
'tis very good, love it ๐บ
Nice one !
This is absolute truth. Add in I've read the Book of Mormon & done a little bit of Jehovah Witness readings. I'm not being arrogant when I tell Bible thumpers that I probably know their book BETTER than them..I'm WARNING THEM to not TEST ME๐คทโโ๏ธ
People are being radicalised and the media are utterly complicit in this. They give Farage an un-merited platform simply because it's easy controversial news, while they should be trying to put him down.
These people are less than worthless. To say they had the brains of a pigeon would be insulting pigeons.
Yet another "I'll buy votes at any cost" politician. Either too stupid to realise the consequences or just doesn't care about the future. Or is this just simple grifting with oil & gas backhanders?
I can pretty much always spot your posts without looking at your logo, keep up the good work sir ๐๐๐๐
Andrew Scott is a contemporary artist renowned for his bold "frame-breaking" creations, where characters in his paintings seem to penetrate through glass. Through this unique creative approach, Scott explores themes of freedom, solitude, and resilience. Artist: @andrewscott_art #art #visualart
BEHOLD! This rancid traitorous pedophile.
$133.50 in the UK (ยฃ98.95) in Boots pharmacies. I plan to get it done in Oct prior to a hospital op on my knee.
I take it that he's all sorted after his dental? They do bounce back so fast.
The super rich don't seem to realise that they need a healthy, prosperous and numerous workforce to both make their products and to consume them. Money trickles upwards.
The Press treating the Far Right (MAGATs, Republicans, and Nazis) as if their beliefs have validity in just and moral society has put a stake in the heart of democracy. There arenโt two sides to every issue when the choice is between good and evil.
Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others โ Congress, the courts, the American people โ from having a say or even knowing what heโs going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.
Super idea! Maybe you've started something here....๐บ So next time anyone reading this is in that situation just give it a shot, just say, "I love books and I would be very interested to see what you're all reading".
Me too. I just hope this is a very fine match and they have a long happy life together. She's an exceptionally sharp cookie so I expect she's sure ๐ค
Not a pun, but super Spike Milligan: Roses are red Violets are blue Some poems rhyme Others don't ๐ผ
I've been deceived all these years! Thanks for the clarification ๐
I like them steamed 'til soft then mashed with a good dollop of olive oil and minced or very finely chopped garlic. Can add fresh herbs like flat leaf parsley too.
Evaporated milk, or condensed milk, is milk which has sugar added and boiled to remove most of the water. It's sticky and very sweet.
No-one the MAGA morons will vote for.
Took an inflatable dinghy with an outboard motor in there once, fun!
Real human truth
This guy, I swear.
Not here to preach, but we currently have 2 of the bestest dogs ever, both were on the euthanasia list, and both better than 100% of all MAGAts. When I see people shelling out hundreds of bucks for a puppy, when there's dogs / cats who will love you to death, it makes me sick. Don't shop, ADOPT.
Truth Art! #arresttrump #art
Slightly disingenuous given that SF is one third the size of Houston.
This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...
There's a huge question here - how did she get early release without expressing remorse or admitting guilt?
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Looks as though he could drop dead any minute ๐ค
Does anyone read BBC news anymore?
I guess she was just hugely grateful that he helped keep the orange moron out of her bed, regardless of the appalling consequences for underage girls.
But unpredictability wet and full of midges ๐ฌ
They've already lost it. Too many idiotic avoidable cock-ups. It wasn't difficult but my God they've managed to trip up in so many places. I used to think Starmer was intelligent ๐
PSA we share the planet with other creatures please do not harm them I will knock over stupid rock towers when I see them
I wish more politicians understood how the economy is rigged against regular people the way Bill Burr does.
Biggest cost in brewing is workforce, then buildings. Energy doesn't figure so much. Biggest problem is quite simply too many breweries and a saturated market. Been there, done that....
Read the BANNED BOOKS first....
....and keep far more voters than they'll gain by attempting to appeal to Farage supporters. Idiots.
And stop playing to irrelevant far right immigrant issues.
It's one of the reasons I'm here - it's about the only place I can find real news.
He'll be fine. We've had several adoptions where they needed all teeth out, usually in 2 separate ops. Often down to that strange chronic gingivitis which can only be fixed by removing all teeth. All recovered asolutely fine ๐บ
Being against vaccines when diseases are rampant (measles, Covid) is like adding chlorine to the gene pool. Darwin is watching.
Excellent idea !!!
She has a point! ๐ฅ
???
Which is what I said......
This was the last straw for me. Resigned my Labour Party membership.
The actual troops are following orders from their officers, which they have to follow. You can't expext troops to argue about orders from their commanders. The following of illegal orders is being done by senior officers.
Ditto
When I was a kid in the 60's I got loads of shit for reading Marvel and DC comics. From parents who didn't read at all ๐ But it got me reading, developed my imagination, and led to reading Asimov, Heinlein, Le Guin, Tolkein, and endless more.
I find it hilarious that reporters are trying to analyse the Trump/Putin meeting when we all knew that it was pointless. Trump just did his TACO act and Putin scored PR points. Trump really is thicker than dogshit.
