I love that phrase “wilted puppets of oligarchs”

I was there too.
My favorite time at Carrow Road
With a 1-0 cup win against the Scum in 2nd place.
Third place the 3-0 win in the 1st round of UEFA cup

I can attest that this book does just that, as well as discuss every televised Who story with humour and well argued opinions. A thoroughly enjoyable read

Maybe Forest should rebrand as Watford on Trent.

A lost gem of British TV
One with Dr Who connections with Peter in the starring role and support from David Troughton and Graham Crowden (whose performance is somewhat more nuanced than the one he gave in Horns of Nimon)

Name your comfort TV Show

Nightwish – The Children of 'Ata “The Children of ’Ata” by Nightwish is a song that narrates the tale of a group of people stranded on the remote island of ’Ata for fifteen months, enduring the harshness of nature

That is a thought provoking statement. Sadly accurate.
Oddly, I was listening to a song that is not about that and is about an oddly affirming human story; a rebuttal to Lord of the Flies

At Oktoberfest in Southern Pines.
An interesting range of beers.
A very good breakfast stout from Wilmington.

And an Imperial Stout from Illinois, at nearly 15%ABV. Not a session beer

People we meet as children have an impact:
My Dad’s best friend’s SO was black
I met an Auschwitz survivor
I met Stalin’s daughter
My Dad served in WW2

I look at the current US leadership with a mix of fear and
Loathing, for I have heard this story before.

I have a suggestion to cut paper waste.

Instead of printing copies of the constitution and federal register, we can, based on the Supreme Court decisions, print one sign with Trump saying “I am the law”.

I scored zero.
I could’ve claimed one for the Walkman as my I had a Sanyo knockoff rather than the Sony. But I assumed Walkman was being used like Hoover; a brand name being used to describe a generic device.

The Thursday Murder Club was a star-studded delight.
Good performances all around, but the stand out was Naomi Ackie who stole every scene in which she appeared, often just by her expressions.

I hope for more films in the series

I have a bottle of sparkling wine in the fridge for when Cheeto Benito sways off this world
It will not be the first time I have celebrated a death; Thatcher Milk Snatcher also had a bottle drank in celebration.

My 1st and deepest TV love is for Dr Who. I first watched it 54 years ago. It has a lot of history both on screen and in books

Behind it are Buffy, BSG, Firefly, Wonderfalls, and Gilmore Girls

1 of these are not like the others

Just got to Paradise Towers in my classic series rewatch.

I still enjoy it as my favourite of that season; a low bar, I know.

Yes, all of the performances are overstated, but that just adds to the surreal feeling of the story.

Build high for happiness

I have not tried it.
This martini with the barrel rested gin was my first experience with Chemist Gin.
Thank you for the recommendation

My thoughts exactly

Barrel rested gin martini from Chemist in Asheville, NC

I am a pedant about many things. How to make a Martini is one of those things.
I was in a local restaurant and we had a drink the bar. They had a great Gin selection so I ordered a Martini. A Gin from Asheville. The bar tender stirred it. Instant big gratuity.

But I am no match for these David’s

I have not seen any confirmation from a reliable source. Only Cheeto Benito and the Commerce Secretary, neither of whom are trustworthy

Two things can be true at the same time

Newsom is smart and less evil than Trump, which makes his trolling amusing.

Newsom is evil and must not be the nominee in 2028.

The world is full of white men who are competent guitarists with an ok singing voices. Many of them can write songs about the neighborhood in which they grew up.

But only one of that multitude is Bruce Springsteen.

that is why AI can never replace artists.
