not quite as brazen, but also Blur 'Country House' - some similar melody sections (as well as the obvious lyrical similarities)

I was listening to the radio when he said this.

As a counterpoint to all the grandstanding, @mrjamesob.bsky.social interjected quietly into the speeches to remind us that the residents of Gaza were currently combing through the debris of their former homes

And within a few seconds, Trump said this

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Lovely Autumn ride on the bike this morning. Dry, crisp but not cold. Light mist in patches.

Most people seem to have missed who retweeted this picture of Farage in Gillโ€™s office a few days after Gill began receiving his first bribes from Oleh Voloshyn (Oleg Voloshin). None other thanโ€ฆ

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So Iโ€™ve taken theirs What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once youโ€™ve torn them down?

โ€œIโ€™m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. Youโ€™re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrickโ€

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Nigel Farage on Russia Today.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

This is insane. I feel like Iโ€™m going insane when Iโ€™m watching this. Not just the fact that itโ€™s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.
