How nasty is that warhead? Most likely aimed to hit civilians and it's armed with that. Is Russia really a civilisation?

This is a song I remember from the times before I could dance, standing uncomfortably by the walls nursing pints in a post pub meat market #TOTP

@natogreen.bsky.social could do the funniest thing, it might lead the collapse of the world order, but it'd be a good bit

Didn't understand raggamuffin back then and still don't understand it now #TOTP

Abbey the problem solver Gates are obstacles for, Big long stick lovers like me… So I problem solve*! * ignore the embarrassing bit in the middle #AbbeyHaiku #HaikuDay

Most of the time if I'm talking to my PC, it's to curse whatever new unwanted thing MS has tried to force upon me.

My Ma has become unable to walk, barely able to feed herself, and my Pa has decided they should get one last visit to their place in France in, while she's still able, but she's not really. My sister's trying to change my Pa's mind, but blinking flip old people can be stubborn

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

Should Bksy die, I'd go back with trying to explain humility to incels on reddit before I ever log in to X again.

Almost thought the BBC and Trump had come to some sort of strange legal settlement

This is what commies view as "stay winning", in case one wanted to see cynical ignorance parading as wisdom looks like, or indeed the bad faith argument and self-righteously incorrect. They are near incapable of grasping their internal contradictions, hypocrisy and arrogance

F'cking tankies: Bad faith arguments Cynical ignorance parading as wisdom Self-righteously incorrect

Yet again, I fail to understand wtf Neoplatonists were banging on about.

Many people are saying that JD is quite ignorant about the history of religion in Europe and the Middle East but that overlooks his expertise on the ottomans.

This is what a self-declared geopolitical realist regards as the solution to our current security situation It's even more cringe than John Lennon's Imagine.

Clem.PM doesn't understand that quote tweeting people implying they haven't thought anything through, is rude and patronising, but what do you expect from a self declared geopolitical 'realistic'.

That the estate of a dead person can demand that the truth not be told is very odd. I don't like wills, I hold the rare opinion the dead shouldn't be allowed to control the world of the living after they're gone, but that someone's estate can sue to suppress history about them seems perverse.

Many said this would not happen I thought they were probably right, but doing this undermines the "he always does what Putin would want" assumptions. Should go in the bin with TACO thinking.

@anderspucknielsen.dk advocating for a sensible strategic policy. That everyone can be damn sure the Ukrainians will be up to fight the Russians makes them being part of our alliance so important for deterrence purposes. It's in all of Europe's interest.

Kemi and Nigel have someone doing PR for their very stupid policy position. They must be delighted.

A smol but tasty selection

Got a sous vide steak that's ready in a minute and I've not got a clue what sauce to make for it. Any suggestions, before I decide to knock up an anchovy and chilli one like I too often do?

I know they're related languages, so it might be a thing I'm making up, but listening to Hungarians is like listening to Finnish if the Fins expressed any emotions.

Getting angry enough with Windows that I might install Linux desktop tomorrow, will probably chicken out, but I'm nearly there.

This is really good It's sweet to have music historians talk about the nights I can't properly remember

I never really cared about sports, like it was team support was part of my identity, but anti-anxiety medication makes it really difficult to care about it at all. Fear I no longer feel the sporting jeopardy properly Still, it's horrific to guess how anxious I'd without them

Now the FT have taken the paywall on this article down, I'll repost this.

Polanski is sounding too "Stop the War Coalition" for my liking.

...and anyone who claims I hoovered up and binned the accidentally smashed urn...

It's not the most important thing about Pedro Sanchez but he is a very very handsome man. Doubt the UK would ever elect a man quite that beautiful, I don't think we'd trust him, though I don't quite know why.

Wondering how much impact the Pakistani position of being willing to activate their alliance with the Saudis had on Iranian thinking.

If the take-away kebab I chose not to buy is the last decision I make it will have been a mistake

Proper standard British goth weird behaviour We're lucky to have her

I'd quite like for Americans to pay my emotional support bar bill. So much booze has been sunk because of the stupid state

I just want the deck blue client to not turn off the autocorrect off before the world is over.

The only constant is change The only certainty is uncertainty and being unable to think of the trite thing that makes this into a Triptych

At least all the gamergate guys will die virgins

I would have designed it closer to London personally.

I wish I loved anything in life as much as Ed Davey does calling for the recall of Parliament.

Facebook friends think he's being a fearmonger for attempting to cross posting his concerns from bluesky

With all the bad news happening in the world at least I can always check the stock price for Tesla to cheer myself up.

Mourning all the "I told you so"s we won't get to say

China's ability to restrain Russia's breeching of the nuclear taboo seems somewhat less certain if the US breaks it first.

If they're not up for storming the Capitol, it'd be nice if they were at least out dancing in their dinosaur costumes or something

The most recent episode of War on the Rocks is amazing DC brain bollocks. Retired US Admirals claiming to think the "Iran operation" is a good idea, and is turning out well, because the US President decided to do it

BREAKING: The Doomsday Clock has been set to WINE O’CLOCK

Trying a new approach with the endlessly screaming voices: I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me Endlessly screaming voices: Why, exactly, do you think we can't stop the screaming?

I'm agnostic, but it's striking how little basic theology the really loud about their Christian credentials crowd have even tried to understand. Lads, are you sure pretending to believe in Jesus, while not following his teachings when God can look into your soul, is keeping you out of Hell?
