Update.
Free eggs royale & tea as they are having card machine issues & I've no cash. Didn't mention the crumpet issue.
#IdiotGlee

Hats off to the agency person or P&G staffer who looked up the *demographic nostalgia files* & called up Usain Bolt, having commissioned a re brand & fresh packaging concept, to call Persil laundry detergent, "Wonder Wash".
It's made the Oasis 'revival' & Sell Out shows totally worth it.
#IdiotGlee

The journal of Export Controls and Sanctions.
More than just a trade magazine.

(Will my wit ever be any more dessiccated?)
#IdiotGlee

Just found #DianeMorgan's #Mandy comedy shorts on BBC iPlayer.
Portrayed like a #VizComic Everywoman*
#IdiotGlee
(*not every woman)

Having started in on #StrangeNewWorlds I can double-down on being Uhura sympathetic.
Ep.2 I wonder if creators had seen/heard (of) Peter Gabriel's 'Ovo' collaborative project for the #MilleniumDome.
Eg modest woman with knowledge of folk melody & powerful voice sings to a glowing egg.
#IdiotGlee

I opened bsky after a busy but pretty relaxed day & had double figures notifications.
Woo! Yay! etc.
Once, I might have got near triple figure likes on Twitter for, essentially, being a harsher, know-it-all, foolish prick than I tend to be on here.

#WarholianAlgorithms

A generic cup noodle product branded as Big Soba.

As these take time to catch on, I think the re-branding of #DryJanuary should start here & now.
#IdiotGlee

Why doesn't remembering that you forgot to do something simply cancel it out?

#IdiotGlee

Please do follow currently pertaining advice but swimming at night after food is absolutely fine.
Swimming when more than a little drunk is superb.
#IdiotGlee

Rename it Trump Island, add a driving range & a putting green. Install a small McDonald's counter servicepoint.
Just don't mention he can never leave.
Provide Ghislaine Maxwell with an interconnecting cell next door to him.

Breakin' News
Trump Admin to set tariffs on Hip Hop & Free Jazz.

#IdiotGlee

Bit random, today's episode of #DoctorWho was obviously written by a fan of #Blur, titled 'Lucky Day' (cf The Universal) it involves a pressure group called 'Think Tank' whose leader explains Unit spins conspiracies & "There are *No More Monsters*" (*In Me*, B-side to The Universal).
#IdiotGlee

Continually resorting to legal redress when anyone says some inane nonsense is why the US will end up as bankrupt as Palin before thinking the problem is dealt with.
Public institutions.
Regulatory frameworks.
Peer review.
Universal education.
Media standards.
Sarcasm.
Piss-taking.
#IdiotGlee

I'm struggling through 2nd beer of the day & checking emails.
Time Out has sent notice of a 'curated Jelladrome' just off Regent Street which includes 'edible architecture' & I feel I should probably just get back into bed & try waking up all over again.
#IdiotGlee fail.

#IdiotGlee

It's traditional to critique indolent, moping teenagers or cynical naysayers who need to get a grip, even sexist "cheer up, love" tropes - all assume gloom is far too prevalent.
Yet in RW politics gloom holds sway.
Oh well.
Best to sublimate gloom into #IdiotGlee or cynicism into #TerribleAnalogies

Absolute top dollar stuff.
#IdiotGlee

Someone has made the effort re Valentine's day.
#IdiotGlee

Charli XCX clasps her waistband under her exposed stomach, both of which are thrust toward the camera, as her hair drapes the pale wall behind, her fingers just meeting over her lower chakra. Chappell Roan in a glittery sleeveless majorettes uniform , tilts slightly at the waist, hands on hips, with her face in profile, seemingly looking over her shoulder to an intimate friend. Topless, apart from an open, narrow, black leather waistcoat & clutching at his belt buckle, as he tilts his head back & to the side, stretching the exposed, taut skin of his midriff is 77 year old Iggy Pop!

I've August plans to get to #wayoutwest in Gothenburg for a 3rd year. As music festivals go, it's very simple & always great. However, this trio of very similarly alluring promo photo poses, from the line-up page, made me laugh out loud. 😘🤫🤨
#IdiotGlee

It seems ungracious if not plain unfair, when it's possible to fail in so many possible ways, that anyone would attempt to place obstacles in the path or limit the ways that one might potentially succeed.
#IdiotGlee

I do hope that @nitinsawhney.bsky.social had as much fun realising the soundtrack & finding the spirit necessary to bring the vivid palette of moods across as I, & many more, found in the finished product.
Deftly written, placed well in shot & edited into a bold rhythm.

Very much preferring the alternate universe concept of a David Lynch presidency, *Swears in, clasping on large log*
*proposes stage ventriloquist as VP*
*MoD is monochrome circus clown who continually juggles bazooka shells at all public engagements*

#IdiotGlee

This striving by Meta & X to dominate a ' marketplace' based upon ephemera & humanity's cultural flotsam without realising, admitting or ever acknowledging that it is their own platforms' jetsam that's the real issue.
#BabyBathWater
Honestly, #ToxicVirality is far worse than #IdiotGlee popularity.

I'm going to just guess that Putin has either been rushed to hosiptal or is dead on the floor somewhere & several colleagues are arguing over his corpse as to why they are not the person to continue his stellar legacy right now.
#IdiotGlee

Imagine if a path could be found that worked for politics too?
The US could have a more balanced, technocratic administration which actually replenished things longer term, rather than piling on debt & leaving a bitter aftertaste nearly every time an election is held.
#Billionaire-proof
#IdiotGlee

I have long imagined that conversion to electric drive vehicles would optimise into a one size (maybe with transit/freight/bike variants) fits all #UniversalElectricChassis.
Allowing enthusiasts to choose a legacy body shape & interior style to 'skin' the #EveryCar like in video games.
#IdiotGlee

I'm sure there are many pathways into comedy performance/stand up.
I'm just guessing here but, for many..um men, it's their closest life partner asking them,politely, to shut TF up & let someone get a word in edgeways at, let's say, a drunken but lively, clever-clogs type of dinner party.
#IdiotGlee

Thanks to #StormDara our flight tomorrow is cancelled & we have to stay until monday.
#OhWell
#IdiotGlee 🕺

The point I seem to be coming to:
Maybe there won't be an "abundance economy".
A cynical take might be that expressing such #idiotGlee about the potential possibilities of the far-off new blue future is just a way to crank up the people's jaded 'expectation bandwidth' to deal with what's to come.
