Two exciting games of Midgard Heroic Battles tonight testing out a fantasy campaign. The Dwarves of the Iron Valley lost out to the Orcs both times; the first game was close but the second was a disaster 🤣. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #warhammer #nerdlings

Day 39 of inserting a random Muppet into a random Star Trek screenshot

#StarTrek #StarTrekGenerations #StarTrekTNG #TheMuppets #MuppetTreasureIsland
A screenshot from a scene in Star Trek: Generations depicting Picard and Riker in the holodeck aboard a 19th-Century Earth sailing ship named Enterprise. They are clad in the appropriate sea-faring uniforms and hats. Standing next to them is Kermit the Frog as Captain Abraham Smollett from Muppet Treasure Island, who is wearing a very similar uniform.

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold the World

An iconic performance but also an excuse for me to share one of my favourite Bowie stories 🤭

Series A, Episode 11 - Bounty

JENNA: It could be an injured pilot.
AVON: It could be a trap.
GAN: It's not a very good one, then. We're suspicious of it already.
AVON: The test is not whether you are suspicious but whether you are caught.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image captures a scene from the classic British science fiction television series "Blake's 7," which aired from 1978 to 1981. The setting appears to be aboard the Liberator spacecraft, characterized by its distinctive angular, modernist interior design with clean lines and geometric shapes visible in the background. Sally Knyvette portrays Jenna Stannis, a smuggler and pilot who becomes part of the rebel crew. She wears a black outfit adorned with metallic studs and trim, featuring a distinctive collar design that was typical of the show's futuristic costume aesthetic. Her blonde hair is styled in the characteristic 1970s fashion. Paul Darrow plays Kerr Avon, the cynical computer expert who serves as both ally and occasional antagonist to the crew. His costume features bold chevron patterns in black, white, and green - a striking geometric design emblematic of the show's visual style" AWS Lambda version: 1.21.

Rutger Bregman correctly public identified Trump in a lecture. Trump threatened to sue the BBC if they quoted it.

So I am quoting it and invite you to do the same.

Trump is the most corrupt president in American history.

BBC Rebuked for Censoring Historian Who Called Trump ‘Most Openly Corrupt President in American History’ | Common Dreams
The Dutch historian said the BBC's edit of his lecture shows what happens "when institutions start censoring themselves out of fear of those in power."

Anyway from now on we can all legitimately call Reform the "Black Shirts" - given they're flogging them to their actual members.

What an own goal!

It takes a special kind of right-wing British political party to literally sell black shirts.

Are you going to tell them?

Or shall I?

"The Blackshirts, like the Daily Mail, appeal to people unaccustomed to thinking"

- The Spectator in 1934
russellengland.bsky.social Russell England @russellengland.bsky.social · Aug 27
Talking of history repeating itself

"The Daily Mail, like the Blackshirts, appeal to people unaccustomed to thinking"

From The Spectator in 1934, under different management at the time

archive.spectator.co.uk/article/19th...
Clip of the paragraph in the quoted link "Lord Rothermere's " Hurrah for the Blackshirts " article in Monday's Daily Mail is not entirely negligible. It is quite true that the Daily Mail is little read by people who think ; it is equally true, as the Manchester Guardian demonstrates with the aid of a number of telling quotations, that previous nostrums of Lord Rothermere's, such as the United Empire Party, have been ignominious fiascos. But the Blackshirts, like the Daily Mail, appeal to people unaccustomed to thinking. The average Daily. Mail reader is a potential Blackshirt ready made. When Lord Rothermere tells his clientele to go and join the Fascists some of them pretty certainly will. There is little sign of the British Fascists becoming a danger, but they may quite well become a nuisance. But nothing Lord Rothermere can say will help them so much as dictatorship-talk from the Left. Meanwhile, Lord Beaverbrook, it is interesting to observe, launches the slogan, " Empire Ever, Nazi-ism Never." Nazi-ism in this sense appears to include Fascism of all brands."

Labour's growing authoritarianism is deeply sinister.

This week, they've:
- Swapped judges last minute in the high-profile Palestine Action ban review
- Proposed removing the right of trial by jury for most offences
- Planned to abolish appeals in the asylum system
