Aarrgghh!! 😀

Here in the UK, those who listen to commercial TV / radio stations have to put up with that all year, as a travel company called "On The Beach" use it in their advertising (in the context of holidays / vacations).

The US Religious Right in general seem to have adopted an almost polar opposite ideology to the canonical depictions of the character of JC. If he railed against it, they generally like it. If he promoted it, they generally hate it.

Never mind the Canonical depictions of the character of JC have him presenting an inclusive faith where everyone's welcome - a message that hasn't gone down well with nearly every leader of the faith since, with many disagreements over which Terms, Conditions and Exclusions to apply... 🙄

I wouldn't be surprised if it's along the lines of his musings about Covid testing: don't diagnose autism and it magically goes away...

Possibly also disallow pregnant people from taking Tylenol and don't give infants the MMR vaccine (courtesy of 💩 Andrew Wakefield 💩) 🙄

Especially as it might make Israel even more determined to build new settlements / expand existing ones in the West Bank, encourage even more Settler criminal damage / violence, and maybe even restrict Palestinian access to Area C, knowing that nobody will do anything meaningful to stop them.

Tommy Robinson 'deported from two countries in the last 24 hours' Tommy Robinson has claimed he was deported from two different countries in the space of 24 hours over concerns around "national security"…

At least he was travelling on his own passport this time...

Your Party co-leaders in row as Sultana accuses Corbyn of running ‘sexist boys’ club’ Jeremy Corbyn warned an email inviting Your Party supporters to sign up for paid memberships was ‘unauthorised’

Over at the provisionally named "Your Party", the two co-leaders are united in their mission, and have a great working relationship... right? Right?! Oops...

So in return for giving Donnie a carefully stage-managed event, we're getting £100bn in investment from BlackRock, £3.9bn from Prologis and £1.5bn from Palantir (among others).

As if a significant % of our economy wasn't already in the hands of overseas companies who'll likely export profits...

After which, it'll likely be a very long wait for BCC to get a dedicated pot of funding to do anywhere else (e.g. bottom of New Street, other side streets). Maybe if Martineau Galleries ever happens (assuming Hammerson sell the site to someone with the money to make it happen...)

MAGA: You can say anything you want, as long as we agree with it. If we don't agree with it, it isn't free speech but terrorism.

She's everything they hate: successful, black, Muslim, disabled, woman, Democrat, critic of Israel, LGBTQ+ ally... (and probably at least half a dozen more categories besides!)

So presumably this is Public Realm Improvements Phase 2: New Street from Victoria Square to the change in paving outside the Apple Store, plus Ethel St, Bennetts Hill, Temple St, Lower Temple St - but not Needless Alley, although that has the same style of paving, or the lower section of New St?

I wouldn't put it past journalists to bring up the subject of the UK's recently departed Ambassador to the US (who was also a fan of Jeff), while we're hoping Randy Andy (Prince Andrew) finds a way to have a meeting with Don... Just to make sure he can't escape hearing about The List...

Calibre + DeDRM can be quite handy, although inevitably the plugin makers have to adapt when "Brazilian River" tweak their proprietary eBook format. Don't know if it works with the formats libraries use for eBook lending...

Mercifully, not all technology... 🐧

And if 🦋 ever properly decentralises so it's more UF than 🐘 (currently a lot still needs to go through BSky servers, and being a private company, they will need to monetise eventfully, so if they can properly introduce decentralisation / federation before 😁)...

"Oh no they aren't!" / "Oh yes they are!" / "They're behind you!"

So will they classify all the cartons where Bugs Bunny crossdresses, as porn? Also Mrs. Doubtfire, likely hundreds of All Ages / Universal classified films and TV episodes, plus there's a lot of F2M crossdressing in Shakespeare.

Canonically, there's the Sailor Starlights, women who crossdress as (manga) / physically transform into (first anime) men for their civilian identities on earth (teenagers who both attend school and sing in a boy band). Crucially, everyone who discovers their gender-bending takes it in their stride.

Britain’s Biggest Far-Right Protest: More than 100,000 attend Tommy Robinson’s Unite The Kingdom Rally  – HOPE not hate Today saw Britain’s largest ever far-right protest with police estimating 150,000 people in attendance for the “Unite the Kingdom” rally. Organised by Stephen Lennon —...

Serial offender Yaxley-Lennon was the organiser of the event, while (not mentioned in the article) it also had such delightful figures as Katie Hopkins, Laurence Fox and Paul Golding, plus a cluster of European far right figures...

Very strong playground bully vibes...

"Forgive me, ChatGPT, for I have sinned."

That particular Chatbot definitely isn't channeling MAGA's vision of JC! 😁 (Hmm, would a MAGA Jesus chatbot be opposed to everything the Canonical Jesus was supportive of and vice versa? 😈)

"Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse."

Channel 4 to mark Trump’s UK visit with ‘longest uninterrupted reel of untruths’ Broadcaster to dedicate Wednesday night schedule to unpicking US president’s false or misleading statements

Channel 4 being Channel 4 😁

"Want to become a payment processor" - isn't that also an ambition of the owner of 𝕏 (when he's not busy giving his chatbot yet another lobotomy)? Hmm...

Given BlueSky is a private company, eventually they're going to have to work out a way of monetising the service as their investors aren't going to wait forever to get a monetary return...

He's only out by a factor of (grabs calculator) 3,731x (CDC estimates 80,391 last year) - and 500x higher than the total global estimated drug overdose deaths (600k)... 🙄

Do something - anything - to materially improve people's economic prospects and feelings of safety: that's Labour's traditional ground. You can't fight Nigel on his own territory and expect to win. Sure, take iterative steps to sustainably reduce migration, but don't be baited by him (or S Y-L).

They've been watching too many of those BBC Nature "Spy in the [Habitat]" series...

Twitter (for that is its name) posts: Jamie Kay: Can anyone explain how putting up flags and painting roundabouts helps protect women and girls from sexual assault? Steve Robb: Because the offenders are busy painting roundabouts or are up a ladder
