The uncle that "went away for a couple of years" who always does rockabilly dancing at any family wedding to "show the youngsters how it's done".

I know nothing about María Corina Machado but I am pretty sure she deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than that freakish orange arsehole does.

It's a great song. Unusual for R6 who probably think it would be improved if it was being aggressively shouted by a dick from Nottingham or something.

Hmm. This is clearly unfair on folks trying to buy a particular set online.

Experience: I own the world’s largest Monopoly collection

Every set is exciting. I’ve currently got 4,379 different ones. The dream is to hit 4,500, maybe even 5,000

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I had neighbours who called their house "Thistledome" (ie "this'll do me").

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@jonnelledge.bsky.social is good people. So happy to pay full price. I mean obviously if I'd been able to get it cheaper etc etc

This is a really good book that I was perfectly happy to pay full price for TWICE so if you are sensible enough to buy it for 99p we can't be friends. But you probably should.

Surely of interest to many in this bailiwick: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CC8W13S.... The estimable @jonnelledge.bsky.social's book on borders is 99p right now on Kindle from Amazon UK. I am actually reading my US copay right now and it is slipping down like an oyster

JFC the man has not one ounce of shame in him.

He went to private school and Cambridge. He owns three homes and rents a fourth!

I know plenty of politicians 'working classify' their backgrounds, but this from Jenrick is taking the piss.

His father's linked in is here: uk.linkedin.com/in/bill-jenr...

He was a managing accountant who ended up as the Managing Director of Cannon Industries
