Chessington World of Piss (KC)

Hear me out Slow Horses but Muppets, Jackson Lamb the only human

A jay perched on a green gate. Electric blue wing patch clearly visible.

Just saw this handsome bastad land on the gate. Tried to get a photo through the window… this was the best of a bad bunch

And tbf to the guy, it must be pretty hard to have "PolProf" in your handle and "Emetius Prof" and "Knows stuff about politics & culture" in your profile ... and just be consistently made to look like a know-nothing chump by a load of accounts called stuff like "Horse Piss Extravaganza"

A Bleet from Steven Fielding (@polprofsteve2024.bsky.social) - talking about Elon Musk and saying: I am completely dumbfounded by Labour’s reluctance to take on these people and to apply legal restraints to foreign interference in our politics and while I’m at it do something about GBNews! Does anybody have any sensible explanation for this reluctance?

Note that by "sensible explanation" he means "explanation that doesn't mean I've been wrong about everything for a decade and that doesn't involve me having to listen to anyone who correctly predicted all of this"

And so, no, I'm afraid nobody has a "sensible explanation".

I really like Mark Fell and so am very excited to hear about the new "National Centre for Mark Fell Studies" :)

(((Dan Hodges))) * @DPJHodges Follow As a ceasefire is about to come into effect, it's important to remember that every death, every injury, every bereavement, every destroyed building, every pile of rubble, every bullet fired and every bomb dropped was the fault of Hamas. They own all of this.

Yes, because if it wasn’t this, then lots of important white people would now have to go to prison and the irresponsible clowns who cheered them on would have to resign in disgrace

Sky News V news @SkyNews X.com Israel's deputy foreign minister has launched a scathing attack on the UK government, accusing it of a "grotesque betrayal of truth, of justice and of Britain's Jewish community".

It’s grimly amusing how this government incurred horrible political damage toeing the US line on the genocide, to the point where ministers will be twitchy about going through customs for the rest of their lives, and their reward is far right wingnuts and fascists screaming abuse at them.

Passage from a 2015 Spectator column by Charles Moore: In the same column, I also mentioned how boarding-school pupils out expensive items on their parents' bill (and sometimes buy them their Christmas presents this way). I hear of an extreme recent example, suffered by a friend. Haha son went to southern Africa on a school trip, and there shot an impala and a wildebeest. Without warning, the extras in the bill at the end of term included the cost of taxidermy and delivering the heads - in the region of £600.

Often, when paying my rent or swishing some water in a bottle of fairy liquid so it goes a little further, I am reminded of this Charles Moore spectator column from 2015, and the fact that financial hardship knows many forms.

i mean i know what she thinks she's saying here.. but when i see someone like this refer to "our community" my immediate thought is "far-right weirdos, showbiz dumbasses and other assorted gout-sufferers"

The British Establishment are all crying about how a protest against genocide somehow upsets all British Jewish people but came to a consensus that wanting to murder refugees is a ~legitimate concern~.

A picture from the BBC site of the ham-faced genocide-enabler, Sir Keir Starmer, with the headline "Farage doesn't like Britain, Starmer says in speech to Labour conference"

Let me be absolutely clear. i LOVE flags and i have lots of flags and flag pyjamas and nigel said his flag was biggest but i saw it when his mum was there and it had beans on it and my flag is better and i have flag-bunting round the edge of my flags and i only eat flag-flavoured cereal and

This only happens to you once

Sending for my local KC :)

There is one (1) large fly in the house. It has been here for several days. It buzzes round VERY NOISILY for a few minutes, refusing all offers of open doors / windows. And then hides again until the next day. This seems very foolish to me. Neither of us gain anything from his daily performance.

3. ⁠this is not the moment for an incredibly expensive increase in state surveillance infrastructure to be run for profit by private tech firms just before Labour ushers in an (even more) authoritarian right wing government.

FIX THE GODDAMN COST OF LIVING INSTEAD YOU FREAKS.

i will point this out to her

Tonight on the News at Ten: it’s the drivel and bullshit that political insiders you’ve never heard of sent our idiot correspondents today, read out like it’s terrifying revelations, because the lads like and respect very particular factional ghouls, and want them to succeed

it's the comic timing... it's just a perfect arc.. right up to that moment of silence before "omg he just ran in" and the panic :)

loool hadn't seen that for years. amazing

this one is good too

It's time to talk about something very personal. Receiving an invoice from a freelancer is very triggering. There, I said it. The thought of money leaving my account gives me distress. That's why it can take me 6, 10, sometimes even 15 months to transfer it. There is nothing more anxiety inducing than having to pay someone for a job they've done for you. I once received an invoice from my gardener and immediately threw my phone into the ocean. It's debilitating. I wish I could pay people on time, but my emotions won't let me. So please, if you are upset, just remember the person on the other end refusing to pay you is also a human. And they're going through a lot.

please, think about the damage you might cause before sending an invoice

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

My ever-so-nuanced position is that I still think gun violence is bad but if it's going to happen to anyone, it's best happening to people who keep insisting gun violence is good

The most piercing judgments of Charlie Kirk I see today are the ones that simply quote his words for all to hear. What a legacy he earned.

one day, i'd like to say something so awesomely clunky and stupid that i'm remembered for it forever
