I keep seeing people ask, "Why does ICE go after harmless people like little kids and old tamale vendors instead of the hardened criminals they say they are trying to get?"

Allow me to clear this up for you.

Is there any other act that has totally disassociated themselves from a segment of their back catalogue in the way that Kraftwerk have with their pre-AUTOBAHN records?

Everyone loves Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you that Machado supports the extrajudicial murder of her own country’s citizens by a foreign power.

Might actually pay Β£1,600 to hear them play the first three albums. I’d stretch to Β£2k if they threw in Tonefloat.

I joined a film society once and I soon realised that I like watching films and don't like talking to other people about them.

Yeah, not spending Β£100+ to watch Florian press the spacebar on his laptop, sorry.

Being a full-time-ish student again means that I spend a lot of time with people in their 20s. Yesterday someone asked when The Lion King was released and another one said β€˜I think it was the seventies?’

I’ve said this before, but speaking as both a former teacher and a leftie, the idea that teachers are particularly ideologically left-wing is bollocks. They tend to support Labour as perceived as more likely to fund schools and increase pay, but otherwise you will find all kind of reactionary views.

Absolutely outstanding work from a man who calls himself β€˜John-Paul Satire’.

Not sure if you are familiar with the ancient computer game 'Rock Star Ate My Hamster', but it had characters called things like 'Derek Claptout', 'Tina Turnoff', and 'Witless Houston', and this kind of thing always reminds me of that.

Does this mean I will have to finally read the one of his books I have which has been in a box for about 6 years?

9 October 1978:

The death of Jacques Brel, whose many astonishing songs included 1961’s Le moribond.

The birth of Nicky Byrne from of off Westlife who had 1999’s Christmas number one with a cover of the English language remake of Le moribond, Seasons in the Sun.

When I first saw this ending (from Mario Bava’s BAY OF BLOOD) I was unable to move for about 10 minutes.

How have the Tories not got an emergent non-headbanger lined up? Did Boris cull them all in 2019?
