Talking Heads - Rome December 1980.
You have to feel safe or it nags away at you.
I had an ice cream cone yesterday for the first time in years and it was so nice. It was from an ice cream shop I hadn't been in for about 15 years owned by a nice elderly lady who only does ice cream and some sweeties. So not as cute as the lovely illustration, but a similar step back in time.

That must have been very unsettling. I'm glad you were able to move quickly.
1/ Russian refugees deported by the United States back to Russia have experienced intensive interrogation, threats, violence, and torture, according to Russian sources. Thousands of Russians have fled to the US to escape the war and political persecution by the Putin regime. β¬οΈ
1/ At least 250 Russian soldiers a day are being declared missing or dead by the courts, equivalent to the declared daily losses of the Russian army at the front. Although at least 50,000 men are missing, the Russian government is doing little to help relatives. β¬οΈ
1/ Russian veterans of the war in Ukraine β known as SVOshniks β have a reputation for violence and abuse back home in Russia, committing many murders, rapes and assaults. Few are more exposed to the danger than Russia's prostitutes, whose experiences point to future trouble. β¬οΈ
BLT and Ceremony are my absolute favourites, and True Faith is one of the best songs ever.
It has now been SIX DAYS since Donald Trump has delivered any public remarks. His last public remarks were on August 25th, during a ceremony in the Oval Office. THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.
quite apart from his (?) general hysterical tone, needless to say, the USA has not 'already taken in' 'TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS' from Trump's tariffs
Again - the reason that the Good Friday Agreement locks in the ECHR is that the UK had repeatedly been held accountable by the European Court of Human Rights for human rights breaches during the Troubles - while national courts had failed to do so, even upholding miscarriages of justice
Apparently βleadingβ lawyers and βexpertsβ say that the Good Friday Agreement is no obstacle to UK leaving ECHR. Me, being neither, merely sets out what the Good Friday Agreement expressly says. davidallengreen.com/2023/07/why-...
Great choice.
It's the way Fred Schneider says "well..." π

There can be absolutely no βshockβ about this. The media has been shamelessly platforming Reform all summer. All summer, weβve had hate-mongering headlines about immigration. Itβs a tedious and grim inevitability that youβve made people angry enough to want to vote for this shit in response.
#Scotland #Independence #Westminster #politics #MOD Yet again, Scotland is being used as a dumping ground by the UK MOD. This live fire exercise could easily take place in English waters. To me this is "we rule over you & can pollute your waters if we want." share.google/OouvBmJfln5Y...
Repeat after me: 40% of the men arrested for rioting against asylum seekers in Southport had previously been reported to the police for domestic violence. Why would anyone want to associate themselves with that lot? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
A video has been claimed to show an βillegal migrantβ losing their temper after an Oxford City Council scheme offering free PS5s to migrants ran out. But the clip was filmed in the US in 2018, and Oxford City Council says it runs no such scheme.
Cheese.
I'm really not surprised...

I have no shelf control
In one of our archive strong rooms there is a shelf. The shelf does not contain the most exciting or interesting item in the archive but it does contain something amazing. Read this short thread to find out more. π§΅π
Congratulations π₯³

Maybe they could all retrain as ballet dancers
This is not just "getting it wrong". It is not propaganda or narrative twisting or stupidity or Putin kompromat. It makes him look ludicrous, even to his own base. This is cognitive decline. Information that goes against what he thought before just won't stay in. He sort of resets every 15 minutes.
That's great news about the dog.
Thanks Simon πΆ
Morning Des, have a good day. I used to love my space hopper π
Both. There's a real need for teaching critical thinking skills. As Angels4peace says, the boat haters are a small but disturbing minority.
I have to say it's many years since I've made it, and these days I reserve that level of faffing for cake making. I'm with @sarahmiam.bsky.social on the supermarket front.
This is outstanding. God knows what Labour is doing: legitimising the racism that'll be its undoing, losing the coalition which put it in office, trying to secure voters who will never support it, digging its own moral grave. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

This guy, I swear.
The world just got a little bit darker. Imagine being so scared of the diary of a little girl you had to ban it.
Lucky I saw him before I shut the shed door and trapped him inside.
