Israel says 6,000 bombs dropped on Gaza as war with Hamas nears a week Air strikes pound Gaza for sixth day as deaths and fears of humanitarian disaster in besieged Palestinian enclave mount.

Honestly, why would you pretend Israel didn't bomb Gaza? Like there has to be a less embarrassing way to defend genocide.

True, but they get a lot more unquestioning support by the press and the government than people with beliefs like "energy bills should be affordable" ever will.

I'd like to think that was true, but not so long about being waving the flag and saying shit like "Christ is King" was also seen as nuts yankee nonsense in the UK, and now we can't move for the bastards.

All it takes to move the needle is infinite money from the evilest people on the planet.

The Voyage Home: tan, I guess?

I mean this one doesn't work because most of the movie looks like 1986 San Francisco. And the rest of it looks like Search for Spock. There's really not much interesting to talk about here, but that's fine because we get to talk TNG next instead.

I think you might've dreamt that because Israel was flattening neighbourhoods in Gaza by the very next day. 6,000 bombs in the first week. Israel was extremely eager and mobilised to deliver as much death and destruction as possible from hour one.

It's surprisingly good, I think. Two colours with great contrast between them which are: 1) striking, 2) fairly neutral/natural, 3) have great contrast between them, 4) look great against black, and 5) work solidly with deep reds and blues.

It's uncanny.

Actually now I just want to illustrate all my points in palette diagrams but I just know it's going to be a pain to figure out.

I'd love to see what happens in the bowling alley when the ship gets hit with disruptor fire or a space swirly thing.

A palette of two colours: #7683A6 "cool grey" and 85553E "coffee".

This is where it all comes together. For the next ten years this is the foundation of most Federation visuals, right up until the they decide to drop "coffee". It's a great combination that also works extremely well with deep reds and blues. It was great until they also dropped "cool grey".

I know what you're thinking: look at all the crisp 80s set lighting and solid greys! But people always forget just how beige the 80s was. At this point you know it's deliberate and not just a fluke of lighting or film quality.

TSFS says the Federation is tan.

Worth remembering that the American religious far right has successfully used Britain as an incubator for regressive movements before.

I think I can safely say it's a pretty moderate position that these fuckers should be shut down and chased back to the American shithole they crawled out of.

Poor Tony. All he ever wanted was to be the absolute monarch of *somewhere* he could rule with an iron fist. Is that too much to ask?

As a rule, if you're making brown food it's a good idea to have non-brown things in or next to it.

Ffs. Most marginal seats are Labour-Reform contests because most seats total are Labour seats. That's what losing as a majority looks like.

It's not the public losing faith in democracy around the worldβ€”it's politicians. Politicians who hate the demands of the working class and resent the idea that they're in any way beholden to them. We're lead by people who'd scrap elections if they thought they could get away with it.

Clearly this proves the public is desperate for Morbius to return to cinemas. The people demand Morb.

I suspect they see Question Time as their turf, considering how many dozens of times Farage and pals have been invited to talk uninterrupted for as long as they feel like.

I love the Flintstones and Woody Woodpecker and... uh, the Flintstones as much as anyone, but even accepting that they couldn't've predicted the success of TMNT a lot of cartoons of the 80s had cultural and commercial impacts far beyond their episode counts, even to this day.

Absolutely nuts that "sorrow" and "sorry" are unrelated words.
