Lots of Small Dick Energy in that photo.
The work thing I am most proud of in my life is almost ready for its dedication on October 27th. Some finishing touches to the groundworks and surrounding areas to go and already it is simply stunning. The LGBT+ Armed Forces Community Memorial #Pride #Strenght #Respect #Solidarity
That department's uses since 1945 have all been acts of war rather than defence - Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Bosnia, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada and the rest. All acts of war, none of defence. Unintentionally, Trump is being honest for once.
Rest of the World perspective: Trump renaming America's Department of Defence as "Department of War" might just be the first totally honest thing he's ever done.
Caligula. You're living through Caligula, except the entire cabinet is made up of horses.
Let me guess - the "g" is silent? www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/...
It's kinda sweet that Miss Jo seems to think Nadine Dorries is "something new". Then I remember the people like her can vote, and I get depressed again.
Darn you! I've been one of those Sites We Aren't supposed To Visit and found all 8 seasons. Looks like my broadband will be busy for a couple of hours. It'll make a nice addition to my complete collections of Hill St. Blues, St. Elsewhere, X-Files, Cheers, Sopranos, House MD and the rest!
Some St. Elsewhere and The West Wing alumni there... But oh my, that theme tune! Remembered every note of it - it was required viewing in our house when it first came out.
Looking forward to the new book. Best of luck.
In perhaps the least surprising news of the day, the unflushable turd of British politics, Nadine Dorries - Queen of the Floaters - has decided to defect to Reform in one last desperate attempt at achieving relevance. We wish her well and all who sail in her...

Oh my god! He's going to write another letter!!!
Good man - 100% agree with both analysis and conclusion.
At the GE I advocated tactical voting to rid us of a vile Tory Gov. Their replacements have been a huge let down. Farage & his army are waiting in the wings. Iโm backing Zack Polanski & his Green Party to galvanise & unite both the left & the bright to fight the rightโฆ and NOW, before itโs too late!
Seems to be working now.
Tried two different browsers, but got nowhere. Looks like it's them not you.
Rather a re-hash of the old movie Enemy Mine, though, wasn't it?
Finally, somewhere that looks worse than Mar a Lago.
So I hear you're a transphobic bigot now, Father Ted?
The issue was whether it was an only home or a second one, which has a higher stamp duty rate. She was advised that she had no claim on her other property which is held in trust for her disabled son, so it was treated as an only home. That advice was incorrect, which is where the fuss started.
So the swollen ankles are actually his testicles, one dropped down each leg?
Energy Secretary doesn't seem too certain of what his job entails, does he?
Not to mention the infamous "expenses" that these hacks build up.
Surprised it's that low, to be honest...
Try again at the top level this time. Am I a naughty boy, @profanity.accountant ?
Me too, please, @profanity.accountant
According to your photo, creatine seems to have the ability to grow extra arms. I'm not sure its fans claim that much.
There was outrage in Conservative circles at the revelation that Angela Rayner has a property empire extending to two actual residences. From the new Private Eye, out now.
Clean it. Then repair it and if they don't need it, donate it to a charity that could make good use of it.
Timeline cleanse. Moon over Alhaurin el Grande and the beautiful hills of Andalucia.
That's beautiful.
According to some mouth-breathing moron here, because this is "war" for "their America", it's perfectly reasonable to behave in a way totally indistinguishable from the dimmest, most bigoted MAGA morons out there. When both sides in a conflict behave as badly as each other it's just a circle-jerk.
Your implicit concession of my point is noted. Bye.
That faint whistling sound above your head? The noise a missed point makes. If to beat them in your "war" for "your America", you have to behave just as badly as them, then you *are* them. Be better or don't bother.
"it"?!!! Fuck you, bigot.
So the icons, "๐คฃ๐คฃ" mean "I'm exposing hypocrisy", do they? Perhaps instead of laughing faces emojis, Cooper had actually pointed out the hypocrisy, the meaning might have been clearer? Because as it is, he just looks like he's being a dick in this post.
If someone there could arrange an "accident" that would be great. We don't want him back here either.
Please add an edit function, even a time-limited one. I do my best proofreading ten seconds after I hit send!
Totally agree. I'm no longer a Labour voter or supporter, but this vicious and mindless hounding is utterly wrong, both in fact and principle.
I'm glad it's not just me. It's utterly ridiculous that the 24-hour "news" channels, including to their shame the BBC, have been giving this non-story wall-to-wall coverage. She acted in true faith on bad legal advice then acted properly upon finding out about the mistake. I see no blame here.
Why the fuck is that funny?
So non-binary people are okay to use as comedy punchbags when it's against people we don't like? Are you absolutely sure about that?

Solid wet outside here right now!
I'm on there because (actual real life) friends are there, family too including my 83 year old mum. There's also getting on for 20 years of memories there. Nobody in my small (140ish) list of connections there is easily swayed by anybody except me and themselves.
Great call, Emma.
metro.co.uk/2025/09/03/g... The Metro going against the grain at least. Good on Crystal for writing this.
Battle of wits between unarmed opponents.
He does so like his little toy airplanes, doesn't he? Stealth bomber there, 747-8 bribe plane on the centre table. Do you think when no one is in the Yellow Room with him, he zooms them around making aircraft engine noises with his mouth or any other suitable orifice?
Holy shit, yes.
Just found out I'm scheduled to appear on the Blackwell's stand at the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, where I'll be signing copies of ... Tories: The End of an Error. I'm not joking. This is going to be fucking epic. amzn.eu/d/9okk5AX
Have fun!
The NHS has announced a new programme to help very underendowed men get penis enlargements so dramatic that they approach normal size. If you're interested in joining the clinical trial, you should tie a union flag or flag of St. George to a nearby lamp post and the NHS team will get in touch.
Raskin: "The dictators of the world have got nothing to fear from this hearing. Republicans called it to attack our democratic allies in Europe. The star witness is not a human rights leader like Navalny, but a far-right pro-Putin politician who leads the UK Reform Party."
Oooh - is Expanded worth catching? It's sitting on my media server but I've not got around to it yet.
Oops! Sorry, Tom!
I always liked the Sellick 70s porn star moustache.
Fly free!
I'm 65 and my hubby's 16 years younger than me... I have to at least *try* to keep up with his gorgeousness! Really looking forward to Jaws. I've not seen it at the cinema since its initial release, and never on an IMAX screen.
Just remember that so much is subjective. What a snowflake might consider discourteous, the majority of others might treat as it was intended - a flippant joke. You're not the arbiter of courtesy.
As someone who's been retired for nearly 16 years, I feel qualified to have a good at that... I don't know what day of the week it is most days. But there's a reason for that - it's not terribly important. unless it's something hubby & I are doing together, it has no relevance to me.
Sounds like you need some time away from social media if you're going to be dictating to people what they can and can't write. Don't be that person.
Will the next OMW book feature angry kitten-like aliens attacking for no discernable reason?
One of the gym machines was out of action, so I'm two exercises short today, but since I've added 5 exercises, I'm still coming out ahead. 15.7 tons shifted today, so I'm content with that. Quick shower then head into town to see Jaws at the IMAX. Have a great day, lovelies.
Sorry you both had to go through that. It's so very unkind, it really is.
An interesting reaction there, from someone who is presumably one of Corbyn's Momentum drone minions...
I'm confident that Corbyn's egowank exercise will self-destruct well before the next election.
Totally agree. The good thing is that this floating turd of a "Labour" government still has 4 years to run which is plenty of time for him to firm up policies, get everything costed and worked out and to engage with the wider electorate. For the first time in ages I'm a little optimistic.
Zack Polanski has just killed the Corbyn/Sultana thing before it even starts. Young, eloquent, engaging and crucially with none of the baggage of Corbyn. Both Corbyn and Starmer may well have a problem.
A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.
It might be worth differentiating between you not knowing how he would achieve his aims and him.
I remember reading this as part of The Bachman Books, decades ago!
Why's he dressed like a bad Oscar Wilde impressionist?
Third-world country? America's already there. Just the planet's most advanced third-world country.
With 85%+ of the membership behind him, his "colleagues" had bloody well better start agreeing with him.
Yeah, Darren's all about relentless delivery. It's the wrong colour, doesn't fit and got delivered to next door by mistake, but yes, it's all about delivery...
... and how the world cheered, merely at the thought of it.
To be read in the original Cleese French accent...
You seem to be alienated by a left-wing party leader not afraid to speak his mind. That's not attention-seeking, Crace, that's campaigning. We've got just under four more years of this floating turd of a "Labour" government to get Polanski's message over. But we have to start now.
Believe it or not, Tamara in Fucking Portugal, you're not the political oracle here and with or without your permission I shall express myself however I choose. Now fuck off.
My gentle suggestion is that, if you have any evidence "the government" is actually instructing the Met police whom to arrest on a case-by-case basis, you really should be writing about that. And if you have no evidence, but *just think* that's what happens, you shouldn't be writing about anything.
Looking forward to seeing Jaws at the Manchester IMAX tomorrow lunchtime!
President Vance's inauguration?
Yup. Very well expressed and a great rationale for it too. Kudos.
Very well said.
"US Space Command" A name that still makes me giggle. Buck Fucking Rogers... "Biddy-biddy-biddy What's up Buck?"
An unusual outbreak of optimism. It was fun while it lasted.
New Mexico, compared to other states: 2nd worst poverty rate 13th worst homelessness rate 2nd worst illiteracy rate 3rd worst gun deaths rate 7th worst teen pregnancy rate 8th worst median household income But sure, let's spend hundreds of millions of dollars on quantum fucking computing.
If he's not a clown then he needs to stop acting like one. Anyone who thinks that today's issues are going to be solved best by a guy who spends election campaigns fucking around on ropes, in water or with stupid comedy props needs their head examining. Serious times need serious people. Not Davey.
Awe look at their little faces - all dolled up, suited and booted like unwanted extras in a Men At Play gay porno movie...
