Ah, another who thinks that Starmer is about to be rather more radical than he's been so far. Yes, I agree - it's not only his salvation, but everyone else's, including me and thee.

The Band - Acadian Driftwood YouTube video by clavinet1

Sometimes I think that the Band were the best band. This is perfect songwriting and a flawless performance.

Sais tu, Acadie j'ai le mal du pays
Ta neige, Acadie, fait des larmes au soleil
J'arrive Acadie, teedle um, teedle um, teedle oo

Google "Angine de Poitrine" and you'll get the screen below (on a PC running Windows 11).

Click on the yellow circle with the black triangle at the bottom of the screen.

Neat, huh?

As far as I can see, she's the one who brought skin colour into this dispute.

“I do think there is that element of it, which is: ‘How dare you, a brown woman, say a thing that we white liberals think you’re not allowed to say?’ Well I’m saying it.”

It's her policies which are the real issue.

Shabana Mahmood swears at ‘white liberal’ hecklers over Reform remarks Home secretary accuses protesters of trying to ‘delegitimise’ concerns people have over immigration

'The home secretary was barracked by a man who said he wanted to “personally thank you for out-Reforming Reform” during a live interview in central London on Monday.'

Mahmood can “fuck right off”.

That might be the case where you are. I’m talking about the UK, with no school bus system.

I taught full time in UK State schools for 20 years and never ever would pupils be allowed to stay on school premises without a responsible adult being present.

I doubt it’s any different now.

“Project Hail Mary” - so bad that I abandoned it half way through.
I really enjoyed the book, but the film sucks.

Very reasonable - and increasingly necessary.

Never saw them. I wish I had - and at about the same time you saw them. The early days with Felix were amazing. As good, if not better, than Cream.

A toxic Republican Representative for South Caroline.

Dreams Of Milk and Honey YouTube video by Mountain - Topic

22 minutes of Mountain playing their socks off.

Play loud and marvel at Leslie West's FAT tone.

The fields of home.

I feel very privileged to live here.

Higher than "HOLY FUCK!"?

RSD...Record Store Day for those unacquainted with it...really is a rip off.

Did Harry and Meghan tour Australia to make money – or cosplay a return to royal life? Along with a luxe wellness retreat and MasterChef appearance, the faux royal tour included time spent on causes the couple clearly care about

I'm finding it impossible to give a shit...

If you enter negotiations to reach a deal and your stance is "accept this deal or suffer the consequences..." then you're not negotiating and it's not really a deal.

So much for "the art of the deal", to quote Preznit Fuckwit*

*as @jefftiedrich.bsky.social calls the orange fuck-o.

I swear that some of these tech bro types are either aliens or mutants...

I think it's fake. A Google search only shows it being shared via social media - no major news outlet reporting it.

I’d be off Facebook like a shot, but I don’t want to lose touch with friends, and there also are a few pages useful for dealing with French bureaucracy.

There's nothing political at all in the vast majority of the pages I block. They're just clickbait of the cheapest kind.

That's a bit shit.

Two oil tankers would hold a hair over 8 million barrels at most.

Hegseth is full of shit.

So my choice to hide all is just ignored?

What part of "Hide all from" doesn't the Facebook algorithm understand?

I'm seeing posts from pages I've chosen to hide all posts from.

It's deeply, deeply annoying.

I don't like the guy at all, but some of his lyrics with the Floyd were spot on.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise
The look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream
