"...and our powdered soft beaches."
And those Cathar heretics on Mastodon
Yer midnite lullaby. Ms Quatro getting funky. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMZE...
Goldenballs.
and AI-generated fiction is from a black hole.
Imagine how many times he's had his will redrafted after another sulk, squabble or falling out.
Oh yeah, getting that Quatermass vibe.
Well Sellafield is about as Heritage as you can get. So many historic moments.
With a nice onsite cafe for visitors, showcasing local dairy products.
Well, I'd listen to any industry veterans that can apparently handle being hit by a plane.
I think about the tweet like “being a billionaire where everyone you meet agrees with you must be the cognitive equivalent of getting kicked by a horse every day” and how we have now democratized that experience for everyone, including actual billionaires, in the form of uber-sycophantic chatbots.
I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.
Bombings, ambush executions and "shot three times in the back while resisting arrest." A very interesting few years which 'Phoenix' really captured.
My bad. As a local I just assumed the whole world was aware of VicPol. Anyway Phoenix is of the best cop procedurals I've ever seen. And based on a true story about a war between the cops and a serious gang which we all watched as it happened in late 20th century Melbourne. "TJF".
There's also this thing called night when the sun doesn't come out.
"As you can see from your briefs, there are some sensitive areas around Operation Urgent Fist."
While elements of Hot Fuzz may have been slightly exaggerated for comedic effect, Wright and Pegg did talk with police officers about their work which led to all the jokes about paperwork and extra pens.
Was told by a couple of Victorian police detectives that the Aus crime series, Phoenix, really got a lot right from office decor and politics to the details of securing and inspecting crime scenes.
Apparently Thatcher watched an episode with some senior civil servants and noted that they laughed at different places to her.
Yes, The Hunt for Noah's Ark would certainly liven things up although the crossing of the Red Sea would be a bit of an anticlimax.
😄
Maybe it’s just me, but maybe when inviting people to a lunch/sales pitch on cremation don’t use a picture of fried chicken.
"The taste is heavenly!"
I believe Snowy was first on the Moon. Tho' Thomson and Thompson were certainly the hairiest on the Moon.
So are we to assume from those quoted posts that the House of Windsor is basically existentialist fungi? I can see that.
Let the Montague Bridge cull them.
I’m a firm believer that with SHIN GODZILLA returning to theaters, Toho should also re-release the figurines of the kaiju giving apologetic press conferences.
Imagine not being able to see that Stephen Miller is the bad guy in the story
"Big fan! Love your costume Sir David!" "I'm not wearing a costume."
"This is more of an argument than a question."
I can see the series, "Dream Queens". Follow psychic crimefighters QE1 & 2 and Victoria as they sift people's dreams for clues to yet another terrible outrage.
Pope Pius XII was also an exploder.
Sharks are older than the rings of Saturn.
Yer other midnite lullaby. A masterwork of western civilization. Witty clip too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEba...
Yer midnite lullaby. Holds up well I feel after half a century, not least because of a crisp rhythm section, nice unison vocals and M. Young's sinuous and excitable guitar. However the lyrics have aged like egg, bacon and potato salad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh67...
Bester: you think this is funny now. Just wait. Wyndham: fortunately smart ladies will save us. James Tiptree Jr: Oh yeah?
Still have my childhood copies of 20000 and Robur and the last time I dipped into 'em, was surprised how technical they were. Explaining electricity to the bourgeois and urgent telegrams to le President.
Stapledon: yet we will still transcend our fleshy envelopes. Dick: for a monthly fee
Jules Verne: and so, the heating of a coil within a secondary envelope allows the balloon to navigate levels of atmosphere. Combined w the international date line we see the malleability of time! HG Wells: set the dial to future and you go there Verne: Wells: people are apes in the future
I don't know why this lad is building a subterranean city for cats, but I'm all for it.
That's such a 1978 menu.
Tasty little movie. The plot wanders a bit but the story and key moments have real dread.
"Assume the position, Mr Lincoln."
Or just coordinate with your new spec frames.
Just watched it again for the first time in 15 years to make sure I haven't given you a bum steer. And it's better than I remembered. A brilliant tone poem/essay, beautifully edited and soundtracked. Gently mocking the rhetoric while rocking the achievements. The real 'Right Stuff'.
Banshee Chapter
You might enjoy this then - made completely from found materiel of the time. ok.ru/video/900362...
Hereditary might cheer her up and give her some new hobby ideas.
It's not the crimes or the coverups that really boggles my mind these days but the sheer fucking incompetence of it all. Except for the getting away with the money bit.
Disclaimer: Not a yank m'self but every time I've visited the place, I've always been impressed by the joie de vivre under often awful pressures.
Another example of US country-pop socking it to the times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOef...

She was a brilliant poet/short story writer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uuil...
Haven't seen that but will. Thanx for the tip.
Ms Gentry wrote, arranged and co-produced her songs, hit it big and walked away clean when she'd had and made enough.
Yer midnite lullably. A ferociously sultry story of an American concubine. Back when country-pop had a real sting in the tale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORfo...
"...and in other news, Tintin will not be competing in the 250th US anniversary UFC fight on the White House lawn. "There is no place on this Holy Day for a Belgium twink" said a POTUS spox.
Mr Toad being hauled out of the ring,
A Thunderdome featuring legendary childhood characters could be quite the thing. "The Lost Boys seem to be warming up well while across the arena Obelix looks relaxed and confident."
I think the title is pretty spot on. The center he alludes to is dead.
Follow the money.
"Ned! Where the hell are the fucking eels?"
I reckon it's a great title. His idea of center is dead.

Now visualise Worzel Gummidge naked.
Probably a Furry thing. 'I Am Curious, Womble."
Surprised to hear Wombles are still an issue. Their major prey, Teletubbies, were pretty much hunted to extinction a few decades ago.

Sometimes I like kicking back with a single malt and a joint to reread the League books and often referring to your Annotations. "Oh right, that was Dick Turpin."
Total Wold Newton aficionado m'self.
Hafta to ask here, are you the Jess Nevins who wrote The Annotated League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? If so, well done!
Of course that lap dancer actually likes you for your personality.
Rich kids tutor.
That is a very astute observation. Many people point this out but only you have articulated it so well. Can I have your baby?
Damn, that pic. An identical crowd harangued by a senile old pantaloon.
Relax. Many parents are cabable of looking after themselves without the kids around.
High style dags. All that's missing is a Collingwood scarf.
Talking about this kinda Melbourne. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6LS...
Possums in the roof is an ongoing Aus issue. You have to seal up all access points or hire a licensed possum removalist. I did once and he said he released them in the middle of a outer city/semi-rural area that was also a renowned beat and that's how he met his life partner.
Also, Union Station is gorgeous.
Yer midnite lullaby. Totally brill torch song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0vJ...
Also, the Lodge has an ongoing problem with possums in the roof. One PM told me "Well, they were there first and the little bastards are a protected species."
I mean really, you've got this big antebellum mansion called The White House? In Aus, the PM's residence is just called The Lodge ie: it's temporary, don't get too comfortable in it.
This still strikes me as a valid political point. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxl4...
In the space of one day, I got invited to the Senate cloakroom, had a lovely dinner on a rooftop and then ended up in a dive bar off U street listening to some blistering blues-rap.
Speaking as an Aussie who's stayed in DC twice, great town. Magnificent museums, galleries, restaurants and bars. Mind you its red light district was pretty tame. As an upper class white man, I felt quite safe there, even very off some beaten tracks. A lot more entertaining than Canberra.

Impressive numbers. Does he get an award for that?
