โ€œcriticizeing Charles Entertainment Schumer is anti-semi-โ€œ

You bolt awake in China in December of 1850. You are Hong Xiuquan, and you have changed your mind. The future must not come to pass. The Qing Dynasty must be overthrown.

Superted, Spottyman and Blotch walking on a pavement in Cardiff. There is a distinctive wall to the left with a turret motif and a road to the right.

Google Maps screenshot of Cardiff. The wall of Cardiff castle is on the left , then there is a road and the Angel Hotel on the right. It matches the previous image.

Superted, Spottyman and Blotch on a pavement, seen from the side. There is a wall with a stone animal in front of them and a castle behind them. Superted's rocket is parked in the castle grounds.

Nobody was attacking Cyprus before he let the USAF use the base there as a staging point for their illegal strikes on *checks notes* girls schools and hospitals.

There is no decision Starmer will ever be on the right side of, he's on an incredible streak for fucking it up.

Title: "Unprepared for a Regrettable Luncheon! (With apologies to Kelly)"
In the visual style of famed The Onion cartoonist Stan Kelly, Superintendent Chalmers is having lunch with Principal Skinner, who is menacingly placing a tray of hamburgers and fries upon the table, which greatly upsets Chalmers. Beneath one of the hamburgers is a wrapper bearing the text "Obviously grilled fast food".

Chalmers [labelled as "Disappointed guests"]: "B-but... I thought we were having steamed CLAMS!!"
Skinner [labelled as "Isometric exercising* odd fellows" - the asterisk refers to a footnote reading "Latest fad"]: "Oh, no, I made STEAMED HAMSโ„ขยฎ! ยฉ1996 Skinner family  All rights reserved"

From within the clouds of smoke billowing from Skinner's kitchen (wherein an American flag can be seen burning) three heavenly beings gaze upon the scene disapprovingly: A pig labelled "Actual hams", Krusty the clown, labelled "Hard-working patent-holders", and a teenaged fry-cook labelled "Ignored sandwich artists".
Lady Liberty peeks in the door and sheds a sad tear at this woeful scene.
Kelly's obligatory artist cameo has him disgruntledly commenting "Seymour-a bore-e-malice."

โ€œWe cannot say that the United Statesโ€™ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iranโ€™s retaliatory actions as against international law,โ€ is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

I've been saying for nearly 10 years that it was a huge mistake to take a particular set of conditions that existed between about 1955 and about 1988, give them a name like "the housing ladder" and treat them as a fundamental economic and social fact.

Four Goosanders chasing another that had caught a big fish. The 30 seconds of chaos surrounding this was something to behold!

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo.

Well if the May locals weren't already set to be a car crash for #Labour, they are now.

People don't like Britain being dragged into war on America's coat-tails - at the behest of Israel - as if Starmer is a servant, and the rest of us only exist to provide the money &, if necessary, the blood.
