Saw the image, thought ‘that has to be Super Res’, then saw the first post & felt vindicated.

Then remembered I’d already seen (& liked) your post about getting your Elyra.

Still … the Elyra is a beautiful machine, as evidenced by your beautiful SR image.

Reform-lite.

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

Stop blaming migrants and tackle real problems, 100 charities tell UK Govt.

Govt follows Reform agenda, failed to develop effective counter narrative.

Migrants are vital part of economy, public services. Economic problems caused by inequality, austerity, privatisation, political corruption.

Violence against the truth.

Violence against my wife.

Violence against my daughter.

Violence against my sister.

Violence against my nephew.

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Cue me storming about the house shouting ‘Has anyone seen my stereo glasses? … Yes we have some! I put them somewhere safe! … No I don’t know where! If I knew where I wouldn’t be asking…’.

So a normal evening at home then.

There is so much to like, on so many levels, about this comic.

Years later my 12yr old daughter’s 1st gig - The Specials. She in her M1 jacket, fringe haircut, skinny jeans & docs. In to buy her own Merch - comes out surrounded by Skinheads. “Them: This your girl mate? Me: Yeah? Them: That’s f*cken beautiful”.
So proud. Something for you to look forward to.

One of my first gigs - as a school kid with aviator glasses & bowl haircut- I somehow got into a StrayCats gig.
I’ve no idea why I was allowed in, or not beaten up when I got in, presumably they all felt sorry for me.
A fantastic night that set me on a path to embrace blues, ska, whatever.

Yeah much the same (not Grunge, but Slipknot leaves me cold - & I have tried). I just find it weird when people won’t accept you don’t embrace their favourite music. I’m still scarred by the reaction I had after admitting in the 80’s/90’s that I loathed The Smiths/Morrissey (not Johnny Marr).

Gonna be honest- Kimmel’s joke about people desperately watching all 4 seasons of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ struck home as I (guiltily) watched the Thunderbolts early Sun morning prior to cancelling my subscription.
Obviously my penance is publicly admitting my need to watch the Thunderbolts.

Genuinely interested in terms of your take on genres. I’m guessing 90’s west coast Grunge (Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Nirvana etc) is not
your thing, but what about the east coast sound? I’m thinking specifically of Beastie Boys (Intergalactic, Sabotage etc - not ‘Fight for your right to party’)?

Wave. Wave of Mutilation.

This drove me so nuts I had to come back & correct my mistake.
dornan.bsky.social
If you don’t like Nirvana that might be a problem as Cobain said The Pixies (& the album Doolittle) directly influenced him for Nevermind.

I still think you should listen to songs like Waves of Mutilation.

I’m sorry. What?!

Next you’ll be saying you’ve never seen Star Wars….

If this isn’t a joke then I would suggest you immediately immerse yourself in ‘Doolittle’ and move on from there.

When a problem like this comes along you just have to push ahead and MAKE the students get the joke…you know, crack that whip.

Don’t let them give the past a slip.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
