Wish I had a list of Reform voters as I have a fuckin' timeshare scheme to sell to those dozy motherfuckers...

They are that stupid

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Cnut. He's forgotten about Cnut, who went on pilgrimage to Rome in 1027. Oh, and Edward I, who spent 2 months at the court of Gregory X in 1273. Otherwise, all over the detail, as per.

Positives from last night's game in Monaco

Vicario making at least 3 wonder saves. A one man wall.

Archie Gray showing again that he deserves minutes

Kolo Muani showed flashes to suggest he will be a good signing

Another clean sheet (Vicario 👏)

Apparently a Top Gun 3 is coming.

I first watched number 1 in Berlin in the 80s - many US servicemen present - shouting...

The second was the last film I saw at the pictures

3 has Jason Statham in it

I am pathetically excited

I find it difficult that climate activists - Greta Thurnberg - have decided that the climate crisis is less important than their Bullshit take on Gaza

Fuck 'em

They told us the climate crisis was everything

They lied

When the Guardian did a whole article talking about the Gazan War without mentioning 7/10, i figured I was out

It's like asking why the US fought Japan without mentioning Pearl Harbour

It's ridiculous

Fuck 'em

As I have seen Greenland with Gérard Butler more than once, I think this interstellar comet is smacking into us and we're boned

Personally, I like Spurs-themed stuff & I'd prefer my purchases to benefit the club

My family were in Tottenham before the First World War - I am pretty clear about the identity of our club

Does anyone really think there will be a 'Conservative Party' left by the next election,

It'll be fascists versus the rest of us

Two hundred years?

It's over

I think 1923 is the best Taylor Sheridan series. Closely followed by Landman - Billy Bob very good. Yellowstone has this big 'Costner walked out' problem (also can't stand Beth), but Tulsa King?

Fab

Paramount Plus is worth the (small) tariff

I have found that tee shirts bought off Facebook - despite the fact that they have interesting references to Greek, Roman & Medieval links - have extremely poor manufacturing quality

This has been a life lesson for a history stuff, themed tee shirt, fan - with many examples

Wanted to share

People ask, 'why didn't the Weimar Republic DO something about Hitler?'

Look around...

John Harrison @johnaharrison.bsky.social · 1d

I'd definitely try that

Priorities

Personally, as a pub quiz member where a TRANSFER FEE was actively discussed when I mentioned leaving my team, I think phone cheating is for wimps

So do most proper people

I’m not sure if I can watch the game tonight as I committed to being part of a pub quiz team at 7:30pm. Perhaps if I explain to the Quizmaster that I’m only using my phone for a shitty stream to watch the mighty Tottenham Hotspur in the world’s greatest club competition, they’ll understand

Somewhat reluctantly, I have cancelled my subscription to @theguardian.com

I have been reading the paper, then website, for 45 years, but - no. I'm done

I survived the curious Corbyn infatuation (surely they knew that was futility) & the crosswords kept me onside

No more. They enable Farage. Bye

The actual regime that these people are hankering after is Dubai: a small elite of citizens, most immigrants to be transient, insecure and all immigrants to be second-class. In reality they would hate the world they would create and would find ever-more ridiculous scapegoats for their failure.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this
