I haven't seen it for years and was planning a re-watch. Is there anything I should be wary of?

No no, you're looking at it the wrong way. Parking is reserved for happy frogs.

I wonder what other emotions they might display.

While my guitar smugly smirks.

While my guitar hysterically laughs.

While my guitar primarily screams.

Respect to George Harrison. If my guitar gently wept I would freak out.

I'm imagining the training. 'How to be a violent bigoted asshole 101.' All the ICE agents in the class looking bored, chewing gum, and sniggering.

Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social · 1d

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

I reckon Steed and Mrs Peel could have escaped from The Village.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Kemi Badenoch claiming Terry Pratchett as her favourite author is wild

Journalists: someone please ask Robert Jenrick whether he thinks there are too many Nigerians in Britain. Preferably while Kemi Badenoch is there as well. Go on. You know you want to.

He also seems to be stupider than Farage. I don't know if that makes it better or worse.

I vividly remember Hezza on Question Time long ago (when I could stand to watch it), and his line then was: no one should come to the UK to seek asylum, because they can apply at an overseas embassy. Mendacious bullshit, playing to the bigots.

Finally got to watch Flow, and it's wonderful.

I love that they don't feel the need to explain everything - there's a particular transcendental moment (you know it if you've seen it) which is best left unexplained.

(To the animals, of course, much of the world seems transcendent in any case.)
