Nice, funny-ish, a bit sweary (sorry, not fucking sorry). Ageing disgracefully. Cooking and eating, music (20th century), travel, reading, history, genealogy, photography, ex-archery, less political here than there (not much). Yes, there's gas in the car!

That’s a relief. I’ve got the wit and the fighting skills, but I dress like a tramp!

Win as a team. Lose as a team. But cut that kicker.

Oh hey, Charlie Kirk. I’d completely forgotten about that guy!

PRESIDENT. SHIT. DUMP. IGNORE.

I got the theme. It says: “We don’t care if the President shits on the people!”

She's only here today to tell us how it's OK to murder fishermen 'cos they must also be drug traffickers.

Did you realise at the time that Katy thinks all brown people are drug traffickers?

Kid Charlemagne @smudgeboy99.bsky.social · 11h

I assume Katy has decided they were drug traffickers without any proof because they were brown people, therefore they MUST be drug traffickers.

Balls Katy.

Controversial opinion, but I think Lucky Stars is lyrically one of the clunkiest piles o' shite ever written. #sts70s

Ahh, one of the most New York of all the New York songs ever released.

"It's a thought you had in a taxicab
That got left on the kerb
When he dropped you off
At East 83rd ooooh!"

Genius lyrics. Probably my #SOTN

Mariska Veres, best known as the singer for Shocking Blue ("Venus").

That was more than a tad Eurovision though, no? #sts70s

Change "7 million" to "ALL", and you've got the truth.

He despises his own supporters just as much as his opponents. They're just useful dupes.

Not just Joe - no other President in the history of the Republic would have ever DREAMED of doing this.

Even Nixon would have physically kicked the ass of any staffer who suggested this.

It seems the only group NOT terrified of Trump is, well, the people.

In the LEAST unexpected news of the day, Israel strikes Gaza and suspends aid delivery, after IDF and Hamas accuse each other of breaking the ceasefire.

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

Is anyone else's #RedZone sound cutting out?

Kid Charlemagne @smudgeboy99.bsky.social · 21h

Sorry, but they do it because they're spineless, craven cowards.
