Sun-Headed Deity of Tamgaly

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Words to live by.

The old joke: "Proce rises don't affect me: I only ever put £10 worth in at a time..."

I thought it was Bienkov making a joke too.

I remember being asked if I was a "Baltic" in Russia. As a compliment.

To turn our lives into monetisable data points, that's the only answer. There is no consumer-facing use-case for an app-enabled IoT washing machine or toaster.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

Come on generals dont let's move fast
Your big chance has come at last
Now you can go out and get Khamanei
No, the other one, not Khomeini
You know that peace can only be won
When we've blown the mullahs to Kingdom Come!

And has given Russia an extraordinary way out of its mess.

@guitarmoog.bsky.social @jbmh.bsky.social It's been updated.

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men
Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Tehran
So put down your books, pick up a gun
Gonna have a whole lot of fun

And it's 1, 2, 3
What are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn
Next stop is Tehran

Yes what a great thing to do.

Fixing to Die was one of my busking songs.

🎶 You can flick my Biiiiiiiiiiic you can flick my Bic 🎵

Fixing to Die was one of my busking songs Steve.

Seriously though this is sad. Fixin' to Die was one of my busking songs.

The Bog of War.

Kids were giving me some flak about some Star Wars sequel lore so I went and bought a t-shirt that said "Rebel Scum Since 1977".

There at the beginning baby!

It's a good point. Also worth considering that Blair owed a lot of his success to palling up with more talented people and riding their slipstream-the music at uni, Cherie in pupillage, Brown in politics - this model served well until he did it with Bush in Iraq. So his life strategy failed too.

He made generations read as if it were a painful duty as well.

Can't bear him. Endless meandering pointless sentences that go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on, in books that go on and on and on and on and on, for no resolution or reward whatsoever.

We voted for change. You're giving us more of the same. Same immigration games. Same infrastructure failures. Same tax policies. Why should we vote for you again?

Bezukhov was pretty anti-authoritarian I recall, I'm not sure he's necessarily your best ally in this.

David!!

Orwell was prescient in many ways.
