I read the regulations and The 5 Second Rule only applies to delicious things. If you drop a celery stalk or some tofu it’s immediately dead. Leave it there and go eat some pizza.

Wow I bet Trump is glad now he didn’t flounce out of NATO like he threatened to over Greenland so now he can threaten to flounce out of NATO if we don’t help him re-open the straight of Hormuz (help who’s he doesn’t actually need because the US and Israel have already won. Or something).

Actually, Americans are just like you. ~20-30% of them genuinely support fascism, as in ~every 🇪🇺 country. You are just more fortunate to have political institutions & a multiparty system that prevent that 20-30% from fully capturing the center-right party, becoming 51%, & controlling the government.

I should have spotted this earlier, but Trump always or almost always refers to NATO as "them", not "us". He doesn't regard the US as part of the alliance, apparently, so Russia invading one of NATO's neighbours & closest partners doesn't affect the US.

The hypocrisy is off the scale. It’s quite enraging that she can say this after her comments defending Labour’s policies on trans people.

You'd think they'd want to discuss how it won as many awards as The Matrix, ET, Fellowship of the Ring, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Parasite... How it has the most wins of any Vampire movie ever... How its success further cements that Coogler's deal could be Hollywood's future. But alas. It's Black.

Yellow Matter Custard - "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (Paul Gilbert AMAZING SOLO) YouTube video by Kevin Gilbert

Appreciate it’s all very personal, but have you ever watched Yellow Matter Custard’s performance?

The guitar is spectacular and I’ve no idea how the drummer manages so many complex yet individual fills from what is, essentially, a Ringo Starr 4-piece kit.

Badgers on tenners and otters on fifties,
Ferrets on fivers, yeah that'd be nifty,
Weasels on twenties, much better than kings,
Mustelids are just my favourite things

the creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to stop doing culture wars about which one should go on the banknotes

Headline in the Press and Journal reads
Arushi Bhaik: The far right is making Aberdeen feel less like home for people like me
Image is of smirking protesters at a lonely looking protest shouting down megaphones.

I'm very grateful to Arushi Bhaik for writing this piece in the The Press & Journal We need to listen more to women of colour and less to billionaires and they people they influence.

Force 9 and snowy could theoretically describe any day between September and May in Torridon.

For June-August, replace “snowy” with “midge-y”.

University tuition fees system is a “mess”, says Nick Clegg.

Talk about unfortunate coincidences - he’s got the same name as the bloke who promised not to raise them, then supported tripling them in coalition with the Tories.

I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty

it is a skill developed out of necessity and it never leaves you

If you’ve not watched her powerful speech in today’s HoC debate on jury trials, you must. I hope she gets all the protection & support she needs and will need…being in public life is brutal enough without having gone through this too.

I’ll link to the direct speech in my next post.

Also, completely enraging.
