Are they just pastry, chutney and a brie like thing? I like that the one in the middle looks happy too.

It's certainly a film... I saw the trailer and had to see it. It wasn't really what I expected, but I was still quite content.

Yeah. I don't think I have ever seen them put on a bad performance, unlike a some other bands I might glare at accusatorily through an excess of dry ice...

Amazing levels of endurance. Probably the band I've seen most but it's been a long time!

I think they said they were shooting a lot fewer people the first couple of days. So it's kind of like a ceasefire.

It's like when you're quitting smoking and you cut down each day before you totally stop.

But with murder.

It looked promising. But then I saw "bleeding edge" and my brain dismissed everything after that point as utter wank.

Get your calipers round this absolute beauty.

A white man, head and shoulders, wearing a blue open necked shirt.

And what a head. It's about 5 times longer than it is wide. It's like a caricature of Lawrence Fox. It's an astonishing length.

Fucking hell. The length on that fake rich crypto guys head is something else! No girth but Incredible length.

Have they gone a day without killing anyone in that period?

I've just heard BBC news do this. Israel aren't denying it, but they're blaming hamas, told Palestinians to evacuate a large portion of Gaza and the BBC immediately have an IDF spokesperson on to explain why they had to do it again. It's not because they want to!

They will not stop.

Breaking: Israel have bombed Gaza again after a ceasefire, join us as we try and explain why this is Palestine's fault.

As part of this, we are officially renaming the 1984 Wim Wenders film 'Paris'. Texas is superfluous in the title. Harry Dean Stanton is keeping all of his nouns though.

Lucretius Bourgeois @maviscruet.bsky.social · 15h

I am torn. Amorim getting two wins in a row, and 3 points against a team that isn't newly promoted isn't funny. But Liverpool losing 4 in a row is. Ugh.

Everything is USA USA USA by default, so if you're going to mention Boston, or Athens, or a President or a Green Party please add specifically where you mean, e.g. Athens (Greece). Athens will be assumed to be Texas unless otherwise clearly labelled.

Thank you for your time.

That Guy @emsprater.bsky.social · 15h

Clearly. Also since many countries can have a Green Party, there can be divergent ideologies and ‘leaders’ of them.

It helps when people say upfront which ‘green party’ they are referring to.

I will not be shamed because I called out the green grifter in America.

Some birds just show up more often in my art than others, because well, let´s be honest, they are just awesome. The peregrine falcon is one of those birds, it just makes such a wonderful subject for paintings and especially portraits! Here is some work done over the last few years.

I am only just coming to terms with not being a professional footballer, and I have almost ruled myself out of commentary too.

Petition that nobody over 50 is allowed to commentate or be a pundit on a sports show ever again.

I will vote for any party that brings this in as law.

I hope Labour win, Maccabi Tell Aviv fans get to come over, Villa Park gets burned to the ground by them and nobody gets hurt.

It's the only way they're going to learn.

Until two days ago I didn't know how to make my phone do them without downloading a whole separate app.

Not that I've learned since, I just had to replace the phone. I'm now roaring into the last decade

That really looks like the last thing a young hitchhiker lost in the woods sees.
