Everyone happy so far. Donald

This is great. Well done Everton. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

What’s your go to Australian film to recommend to people?

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. And then the bears moved in.

Enhance a TV title by changing a word to ‘fuck’. One Man Fucks His Dog

Global crisis style note: What Trump is doing to Ukraine is not 'blackmail', which would be demand for payment under threat of exposure of compromising information*. This is demand for payment under threat of violence/refusal to protect from violence. The word is 'extortion'.

There is much less chance of better public understanding if BBC presenters think you can compare annual spending of 5 billion to the alleged cost of a century-long lease of 9 billion/100 years.

Inside you there are three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne;

Ferris Bueller’s Fuck Off

Isn’t the government meant to do that? Is Chris under the same delusion much of the Tory party are in thinking they still set the agenda?

Taps the sign.

Time to avoid #thearchers for a bit. Don’t think I can stomach the Grundys being the whipping boys for princess alice and the rest of her clan. #princessalicewasculpabletoo.

The second Roy tribute tonight, lovely addition to the first one. Well done #thearchers.

“There’s no place for…” formulations are always an indicator that: 1. That thing has made quite a nice place for itself in the society/group/org. in question 2. The powers that be have dropped the ball and allowed it to take that place

"Titus is seven. His confines, Gormenghast. Suckled on shadows; weaned, as it were, on webs of ritual: for his ears, echoes, for his eyes, a labyrinth of stone: and yet within his body something other - other than this umbrageous legacy." Happy birthday, Mervyn Peake.

And bluesky of course. The true threat!

Biden has always made gaffes. His extreme age makes it easy to think it’s a recent thing and a sign of decline (not saying he ain’t declining but gaffes don’t prove it). Witness today’s graun vs 5 years ago. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti... amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

This is what happened when Cameron won (Howard delayed and D Davis ended up losing a winning position). Good for the Tory party, not so much for the country IMO. But these are people who don’t see the distinction. www.theguardian.com/politics/art...

This week seems to be a good one for positive elections results: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Telegraph loses faith in FTPT. Well whaddayaknow.

The nerves on here remind me of election night in 97. We *really* didn’t know how big it was going to be (pollsters apart perhaps). Mind you, I’m still slightly bricking it.

Also remember the ID does not have to be current. eg an expired passport works.

Is there any useful meaning for the term supermajority in the UK parliament? I can understand it in the context of systems with presidential veto or constitution changing powers etc. but don’t think we have anything that is equivalent - maybe there is something very obscure that might cover it?

Missed the England game as we had Patti smith tickets. Seems to have been the right decision. #pattihasthepower

Ratcliffes contempt for the women’s team is reaping results quicker than I expected: www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

AI (I assume) is doing very odd things to those age-defined exercise/diet regime ads I see constantly.

Indeed: www.theguardian.com/food/article...

Surely even sunak realises he needs to take action before the question time special tonight. Letting the inquiry take its course won’t cut it. Nothing will cut it frankly but it’s something.

From rafael behr’s piece today. Often wonder where they’d be if they hadn’t purged. Can’t see 2019 would have been worse for them (possibly better in fact). But I suppose the architects of it weren’t interested in party health, only in their own projects. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Clicked on a headline in the FT - positing a little promoted view this election, the sentiment of which I agree with. Then discovered it was the headline to one of janan ganesh’s contrarian, semi-barmy musings. Feel like I’ve been rickrolled.

Love this time of year when the trees aren’t quite fully in leaf and the skeleton is still easily discernible. Constable, Hockney et al knew/know what they were/are doing.

Mick’s flashbacks. That and the cider bottles will do for George. #theArchers.

It's a start. Very cheering. I'm not even in the mood to hear why exactly this is some crypto-fascist ruse to allow Starmer to crush whatever, cyclists. I have dreamed of renationalisation since denationalisation. Rolling stock etc later. SHUT UP, IT'S A START. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
