@sophiemacxo.bsky.social Happy birthday Sophia! Hope you’re having a great day! 🎉🥳🍾🎁🎊

More than that, every US military base has a government supermarket. I know of people who travel half way across Europe to visit the ones in Germany or the UK.

Is this about the one that’s just gone live? I’ve noticed before that SU&V seems to go live at very random times each week whereas SAC and the SSP before it seemed to be like clockwork. I had always assumed the randomness was just down to you, but I guess I was wrong!

I absolutely do understand. I wasnt trying to minimise it at all, in fact Im trying to work out some kind of respite/ safe-haven situ for trans people at my place here at the moment, just don’t want people fleeing & ending up in a situation that still isnt stable for their mental or physical health.

…to comfortably live there. I’d love to live in Portugal but I’d have severe concerns mid-long term when it comes to temperature. When you’re fleeing a dangerous country i get weather may not be 1st thought, but it’s changing, & fast, in Europe.

I realise this may not be top of your thinking when choosing countries but when I saw you say Spain & Portugal my first thought was climate change. Im sitting here midway down France & its hot enough this summer. There are people from the south looking to move here because it’s just getting too hot…

Watching it now, so interesting!

Could you talk about this some more Chris? In a video or such? I’d love to hear your thoughts, and some background to what you, and the OP, are discussing. It’s not something I know too much about & you do a great job at explaining these sorts of concepts!

At least you’ll be getting dressed for work in a snazzy Hawaiian shirt now, I bet Mr Beast and the like will never be as stylish as mid-2025 Shelton.

Glad you’re back… in some sense at least!

Very tempted to ask what you think Ron’s days look like after 40 years on Target 2. The commodore’s not reported back to the sea org so he must be having a whale of a time there…

The only thing I and this vile woman agree on is that we both enjoy you going after Rowling and the biddy mafia. Keep it up India!

Well… this was… something.

Quite… something.

Yeah… something.

Safe journey home, looking forward to tomorrow’s Q&A, getting nearer to the magical 500th episode!

Ahhh, ok, well I hope you’re having a great time!

@chrissheltonmsc.bsky.social Did I miss some important info about today’s podcast? My Saturday tradition of listening to Shelton over breakfast hit a snag this morning! 🍳 ☕️ 🥞

Everybody’s best mate. That’s what was on all the marketing stuff when they were launching. Everyone’s got a mate Dave who’s fun and reliable and a good laugh. That’s the ethos of the channel.

QI or Top Gear. Always QI or Top Gear. Any time of the day or night it’s always QI or Top Gear 🤣

Thankfully he’s a different Lord Wolfson to the Lord Wolfson who runs retailler Next, or I’d worry about the direction the Next Directory catalogue was taking. ‘Everything for the whole family in one book’ indeed… 👀

Hoping this isn’t an ex who’s a primary school teacher or that could have made for quite the eventful future parents evening for her…

Unconnected but directly connected, it ASTONISHES me that early 2000s Danny Masterson’s actual DJ name was ‘DJ Donkeypunch’ & that it was laughed off as an edgy amusing thing. If red flags came any redder I’ve not seen them, but apparently that wasn’t a concern about his attitudes towards women...

Hot. And not in a Sid James “Phwoooarrr!” way, but rather a “I could sit in a furnace in the hottest part of hell and would still be cooler than now” sense.

Theyve done this for YEARS. They love nextdoor & meetup etc too, they avoid using the words ‘church of Scientology’ as everyone knows that & talk about spiritual counselling or solving problems & its only when you get to the address you realise its a CoS org. Hilarious, but also obviously not at all

Parsons of course had an affair with his wife’s sis Sara who then left him for their friend L Ron Hubbard. Much of Dianetics & Scientology is based on the Crowley teachings LRH & Parsons learnt. LRH married Sara bigamously then denied on TV she existed “I had no 2nd wife, just a 1st & this one”
