You know that scene from the end of Trading Places where one of the Dukes desperately screams "Turn the machines back on!" after losing everything and in total denial that they lost? I don't know why that popped into my head after seeing Dan denying the reality that doesn't fit his narrative.

Terrible news about Sheffield Wednesday. A grand old club brought to its knees by grossly incompetent and negligent ownership.
Sympathy to the supporters.

He's only got so many hours in the day to cram in all those TV interviews where he explains he's got no time to do anything but go on TV and explain that he's got no time to do anything but go on TV and explain...

When this is all over, every single pardon he's given and every single appointment to a position he's sign off on, up to and including the Supreme Court, needs to be declared null and void. Rip out the corruption at the root or it will fester there forever.

But no, rather than focus on the reality that we can prevent that nightmare in 2029 and under existing FPTP if we just use our voting power sensibly rather than tribally, let's daydream about how things might be if we changed to PR, which isn't going to happen this side of the GE...

Not the electoral system, the electorate. Going to be a lot of people on the left suddenly finding out that they've mistakenly put their worst nightmare into power by using their vote stupidly and for petty reasons completely at odds with their best interests*

* See Brexit/Trump etc for details.

Scene from Ghorman Plaza in Andor, with the Imperial Armory being constructed in the background. One man says to another man "They say it's going to be a ballroom..."

You said this last year just before that Budget and it didn't happen. Recycling articles now?

What that picture needs is the alien ship from Independence Day hovering overhead.

Damn, that projection is so strong it'd turn a vampire into ashes.

He can always fall back on his expertise in concrete farming. It's a growth industry.

He's having his Great Pyramid built. The Pharoah must have his tomb.

I'm in a minority I think but I just want my space games to be set in space, doing stuff in space. I don't need a player character or ship interior. I don't want to go down to planets and travel around them for a bit of FPS either on foot or in a vehicle.

Space game. Just stay in your lane.

Well yes, I suppose showing why his 'hacking' excuse was a load of bollocks would tend to complicate things if you worked for any employer that actually cared about things like their employees being racist. Whether Talk TV is one such employer is still to be determined.

Doesn't Congress technically (because under these Republicans they'd never actually do it) have the power to order people to testify before them regardless of what Whiskey Breath, Secretary of Extrajudicial Killings says?

I mean... he's having his own mausoleum built on the site. I can't believe anyone is buying that 'ballroom' crap.

Peston, Mason and all the other political hacks have sacrificed their reputation for access to politicians and an easy life.
Fanboys and gossip merchants not serious journalists.

He'd be a very strong candidate but it's a crowded field of expertise.

Oddballwoofwoof @oddballwoofwoof.bsky.social · 4d

We're past that point already.

It's also clear that Steven either hasn't been following the actual reasons why the trial collapsed or is confident that his followers haven't or wouldn't care about the facts anyway.

Have Amazon been using Nigel Kneale's Stone Tapes all along and that voice has been an old Victorian schoolmistress who met a tragic end?
