A year of songs:
I said this morning that one thing I want to do this year is to post more music content on here. So (foolishly) I've set myself a challenge of posting a song each day. To make it harder I'm imposing 2 rules: I can only use each artist once, and the song titles should cycle A-Z.

A year of songs, day 289:
This song speaks to the fleeting feelings of release and abandon that come with intoxication; as well as the pain, guilt and emptiness that accompany hedonistic excess. I'm sure we've all been there at one time or another.

So we begin the final chapter of Jamie Oliver's "America" and we get to Georgia - the land of soul food.
Collard greens with turnips and shredded pork. Maybe not the most attractive, but it's hearty and comforting.

A year of songs, day 288:
This is - in my opinion at least - the greatest rock song ever written. Coming in at just shy of 6 minutes, this epic prog rock masterpiece topped the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks. It later became the most streamed song from the 20th century.

Because Wyoming is landlocked, they mainly rely on fish from rivers and streams, like trout.
Pan fried trout fillet (from Loch Lomond in my case) with a tomato, cucumber, yellow pepper and spring onion salad.
Recipe from Jamie Oliver.

Considering that capitalism has been around a lot longer and used in many more countries, thats not a reasonable comparison

How many of his own people were killed under Stalin's orders?

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

No idea why you're raking this up a day and a half later. I certainly won't be playing with your balls. They're probably small and smelly.

Sticking up for Johnson? What are you on about? Have you been borrowing Gove's white powder?

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

Go fuck off back into your pathetic little echo chamber.

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

You look pretty amazing from what I've seen

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

A claim you've still provided no evidence of. Idiot. Goodbye. Blocked.

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

It's called playing devil's advocate 🤦‍♂️

Where have I said that?

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

No I didn't. Your reading comprehension skills are poor. Try harder.

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

Like in Soviet Russia? Lol

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

To me they're both culpable. But clearly we're not going to agree on that.

Is it? Always? What if that child is trapped in a cycle of poverty and worklessness when it grows up?

Q1 - no I don't, which is why earlier on I said I think the two child cap should be scrapped

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

I've said multiple times about parents "choosing" to have children. Women who are raped or abused are not making that choice.

Matt @matt600000.bsky.social · 1d

That some children are going hungry. But is the fact that those children are hungry entirely the fault of the government, or do the parents have some responsibility for that?
