I've always maintained that the Internet's greatest strength was that everyone potentially had an equal voice, and its greatest weakness was that everyone potentially had an equal voice.

How about we encourage people to breed less?

That cover must have cost at least four quid to make.

Can somebody please explain why nobody has bothered leaking the Epstein files by now? I might be wrong about this but I would think the time has been ripe for this to happen for a while.

Similarly, but I wasn't really teenaged then.

I fell for a lot of this at the time because I still thought there was good and bad, whereas the more nuanced position is that there is bad and worse and everyone else gets caught in the middle.

That dawning was more of an education than anything else.

A fabulous band. I bought this one and Tago Mago the same Saturday from GI Records (RIP) in Cockburn Street. (I didn't like the Can much at the time)

Actually it's 10. I just noticed Edgar's Mellotron Demonstration Album there. 😀

Maybe because it's small beer compared to the shit show that is actually going on.

It wasn't just the fact that they were playing wrong. It was also the confidence that they were right. Like everybody out there is a virologist all of a sudden.

Nine, amazingly enough!

I was just playing Neu! today.

Fair enough, although they did say that it was nothing to do with Epstein.

He's not quite as far up the POTUS' arse this time. Blair was so embedded in Bush that he could see the soles of Cheney's shoes.

What was that saying about MLK?

There will be no consequences

For all that Mandelson was associated with Epstein, we shouldn't forget that the reason he failed the vet was because of his links to business dealings in China.

The store goes that May actively tried to stop Johnson being told certain things because he was seen as being a risk. If true, this makes one wonder why she should ever have appointed him. Or did she think it was better to have him in the tent pissing out?

I think right now we have bigger issues with which to concern ourselves...

Frankly what astonishes me is that at no time did he ever ask 'how the fuck did he manage to pass the vetting?'.

Breeding licences. It's the only solution.

Well. That and Durex.

What if it's worth millions and they are from Jaywick?

Wait until you find out about this place in central Scotland...

For some reason this makes me think of this...

All said whilst staring off into the middle distance as though on the front of a knitting pattern from 1967.

Maybe say a bit more about how your genocidal state operates before you complain about how others see you?

This might be a proper challenge for some. 'Synecdoche New York', for example. Or even 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri'.

And let's not overlook 'Assmaster IV: The Search For Corporal Chunderworthy'.

Oh but Tarquin and Jasmine must EXPRESS THEMSELVES. Or do you hate children? Do you? DO YOU? #PrettyMuchYes

And parents have to sign a disclaimer saying that they will be charged for any damage that their errant crotchfruit cause to the environs whilst they are there?

It never fails to amaze me the licence people are willing to give children (and parents) as though they are something special. They are absolutely not.

I am now being asked to sign up for the 'super deluxe' edition of 'The Wall'. Having heard the 'Immersive' version (along with RW's awful demos), one wonder what they can possibly add? A different ending to the story? Pink finds himself and retired to get it together in the country? Some tunes?

This is going to (a) sound a bit strange and (b) only mean something to Those Of A Certain Age but that GIF is making me think of the sound Windy Miller's windmill makes in Camberwick Green.
