( already sorry for posting this.
It was horrific that someone was destroyed for a time as a result of this. I get that. But it was also a hugely formative political moment for those of us who remember the time. We get to joke because otherwise we’d go bonkers)

I mean it was the first one ever there, soooo…

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans claimed to believe that the White House was such sacred space that getting a blow job in the Oval Office was grounds to remove a president from office.

Weird but genuine thought - I wish we had more people in charge who played with Lego as a kid.
Coz Lego is just one block on the next. To create something. Anything! And sometimes it falls apart, but you just keep putting one block on another.
I want Lego leaders.

Or time to put the phone down

Well you are.
Couldn’t tell you how many down days where your posts have made me laugh or groan theatrically, just when I needed to!

Oh no, just spotted. Sending best vibes on your direction!

LeedsBookClub aka Drneevil @leedsbookclub.bsky.social · 5h

Those are tough days. But we don’t see you as you see you sometimes, if you know what I mean. To us, you’re a warm hug on a cold day.

LLMs were trained on (stolen) fiction and the unfiltered contents of the internet. Of course they make thing up. They were trained on made-up stuff.

King Charles may be planning to send Prince Andrew to a castle in the Scottish Highlands, according to reports 👀

Oh how lovely!

I explained to a friend just how much unreleased stuff there was and that I’d be aiming to complete my set!
A MINT could be made.

She’s just so much better at rollouts than most, but she really doesn’t milk us the way the bitter speculate.

She’s an original! Feel in love with her as a kid listening to crystal and rumours remains my go to album!

Silver springs is my favourite of her rage songs. Watching them perform it on the video from 1997(?) was like watching time disappear into pure emotion!

He’s donning a queen’s crown. Is that intentional?

An image showing a British Queen’s crown and King’s Crown. The King's Crown, often represented by the Tudor Crown, is used by male monarchs, while the Queen's Crown, typically the St Edward's Crown, is used by female monarchs. The distinction reflects the different royal cyphers and symbols chosen by each monarch during their reigns.

She sounds like the reason many within my generation gave up trying to talk to our parents about progressive issues.

Condescending, judgemental & rude.

Dining across the divide: ‘We didn’t agree on immigration. She was almost conspiratorial’

She thought he was naive; he thought she was too staunch on immigration. Would they find common ground on capitalism, Trump or nuclear power?

Sweet merciful Zeus. The hubris.

Was raised to think charity/good works begin at home.

But given the British partitioned Palestine, seems particularly tin eared.
