Ps. Watch LA BALANCE if you can find it. Great movie, fantastic performances by Nathalie Baye and Philippe Léotard.

Damn. I lived in Paris in 1982 and this is one of the films that reminds me the most of the city I knew. Nathalie Baye was a reminder of so much of the city at that time and she was incredible in this movie.

I miss someone I never knew and never realised was part of my memory.

As a Penguins fan, 🪭 I’ll follow her. Looking forward to the playoffs, time zones, permitting.

I found a lost pension from the 90s and, while it’s not enough, it’ll let me clock off a few years before the state starts paying me not enough.

Ok, I’ll follow the Flyers writer for my Penguins fix. You got me.

My memory from WCR last year was ladies throwing bikes directly at me.

Beatriz Neila - Wikipedia

That’s why I used this photo for her Wikipedia profile. It shows up as her default pic on Google en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatriz...

Ps. My money is on Neila this year. She’s ace.

Chloe Jones

I rate her highly and hope to see her on the podium again soon. flic.kr/p/2ridUUa

I think she’s hiding an injury. Let me check my references before I say she is though.

I suspect she’s more injured than she’s letting on.

I don’t like Starmer but it is an absolute relief to not hear him or see him being reposted spouting utterly demented, dangerous shite twice a day.
Yes it’s a low bar but i am drinking pina coladas at that bar.

It’s weird being better off than I was supposed to be, but still playing catch-up with equity. We grew up in homes our poor parents owned until the 80s when it became difficult.

he's counting on people not knowing what a doctor looks like because they don't have healthcare

If you are an American, to people of other countries, there is no longer functionally any difference between whether you voted for Trump or not, nor should the world be expected to shoulder your responsibility for your government becoming a rabid dog on the world stage.

Please stop asking. Cheers.

Nice to see Maggot Machine on the list. It kinda slipped under a lot of people’s radar.

Is today “which Melania conspiracy turns out to be true” day?

Watching American Politics everyday and I'm reminded of this line from The Warriors.

Frank rules.

This will be my last shift for the mission. Shift starts when the spacecraft hits the water and ends when it’s hard down in the well deck of the Navy ship that will bring Integrity back to shore.

Old school is best school.

I had Action Man but I wanted Cyborg, Mutant and Android because my middle class friend had them.

His dad later helped the police crack the Yorkshire Ripper case, so that was nice.

Thirteen years.

Fuck’s sake.
