The greatest thing I have ever seen including all bands and all football.

Opinion | The Fantasy of a Comfy Retirement Has Always Been a Mirage

POINT: “I’m 65 years old. I’m legally blind. I’m on disability. I went to my doc and I lost 28 pounds in the last year. I did not need or try to lose 28 pounds. I lost the 28 pounds because I cannot afford to eat anymore.”

COUNTERPOINT: “This is the Golden Age of America!”

Yeah but Jack REALLY hated the Nazis.

My first education in American constitutional politics, from 1976, as referenced in today’s @bunkerpod.bsky.social about the “Semiquincentennial”.

Listen up, oppressors – linktr.ee/bunker_pod

It’s a Jack Kirby banger

Also our deeper dive on Gorton & Denton is out today (guaranteed no war content because we recorded it before the balloon went up).

This is a good listen. I remember the Bicentennial with fondness and I’m regarding the “Semiquincentennial” with great trepidation. Also, good to talk to a US politics person who’s not from NY or Washington.

Yes I did know! And I am extremely excited about it

That neck looks like the alien contagion is about to explode out of its meat-sac and assume its true form. But on the upside, at least it’s healed the cartilage in his ear. Somehow.

I am absolutely overwhelmed with respect and admiration for the fact that Cardiff's queer punk rock climbing club is called...

yes...

BE GAY DO CLIMBS

“No stupid rules of engagement” – does this Walter Mitty dumb fuck realise that it is rules of engagement that generally stop *his own troops* from being summarily executed when captured?

Also you just know he was stifling an erection while mouthing this degraded, criminal garbage.

Come on, you need a laugh. God knows I do.

What, about the Iran missile attacks? Our valuable perspectives from various settees in the Greater London Area? Not sure we’d be adding much at this stage.

No it bloody isn’t, I saw The Specials, The Smiths and New Order there and got teargassed at the Beastie Boys too.

”My father was a sausagemaker…”

Latest OGWN featuring all the Mountbatten-Windsor content you could wish for.

Loaded was always a much more complicated beast than the clip show narrative had it. Have a listen…

Oh right!

Of course I’m not. I’m arguing the opposite. Why on earth would you think I want to get rid of IHT? I’m talking about how it is already generous to the already well-off.

Micro-violin time for the Telegraph. If the “grieving families” are paying £1.38m in death duties then by my reckoning their estates are worth at least £3.8m (correct me if my maths are wrong) and their estate planning is pretty poor too. Never mind, they still get to hang on to a piffling £2.4m.
