The rumour back in the day was that Seb from the band Trans-Am kept them touring constantly on a schedule that made him a tax exile. But then he is American AFAIK and I believe they still have to pay tax, so maybe that was a joke 🤷
Note here that this isn’t Trump accusing the British government of anything. This is the Sun telling Trump that Sir Keir is pandering to a particular ethnic group and inviting him to agree.
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
Last time Labour’s most successful London mayor commented on a by-election loss, the party responded by explaining that people vandalizing ULEZ cameras probably had a point actually, so I can’t wait to see what kind of normal & proportionate responses ensue this time

As if any of those guys are eating anything but Huel washed down with regret three times a day.
As a side point I really enjoy the alt text on this 😅
Everyone knows that a junior dickhead compiling a dumb dossier on the man who wrote this insulting drivel is *exactly the same thing*, but one of these stories makes the press look like virtuous victims while the other exposes them as a blight upon the species. Naturally they go with the former.
Unbelievably infuriating that this is how these swine are finally going to deal with the long Labour ratfucking campaign in which *the same people* deliberately put their thumbs on the scales in a general election campaign.
Today is Valentine's Day and more importantly, the 35th birthday of Lemmings.
Here's your annual reminder that there is a Lemmings statue in Dundee.
Reading this after seeing the Twitter version is like trying to decide which of the two different versions of Let It Be I like best.
Yes, I know UofS management actually behaved like arseholes throughout the whole affair, but they were nonetheless punished with this exorbitant fine for the crime of *simply having* a policy against the expression of transphobia.

An English speaker can read "JD Vance...First bitch...Trump" and can extrapolate this is a play on First Lady without knowing any Dutch, which is the point of the joke. The brain will pick out the bits it knows.
If their first language is not English but Dutch there's a high probability they wouldn't get the joke, which seems fair enough
Yeah would make sense if it was an Apple he had I guess.
@lordarse.com this is Desmond Bagley writing about his co. Outer in 1979.
I'm interested to know if a golf sim game really existed on home computers in those days and what it looked like (also Venus rocket thing) or if he's just being hyperbolic. Thought you might know.
[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it
Yeah, even that quote is nowhere near "get woke out of theatre".

I really want to play on one now (although I know I would simply never learn how to use it).
We make Nigel Slater's aubergine cassoulet, but yeah, am now thinking about soups.
