There was talk of remaking a classic 70's album without John McVie. But it was just bassless Rumours.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

Hope HMRC are investigating whether Gill evaded tax on the bribes he received.
(Bribes are absolutely taxable income, but people tend not to declare them to HMRC...)

Trump's plan is so grotesque and makes the US such an enemy of European freedom, that European states should have no other option than to tell Trump to shove it where the sun does not shine.

Boris Johnson promised to govern as an amiable and cynical clown. He positioned himself as a clown, the country elected a clown and then we were governed by a clown, as demanded.
Starmer presented himself as a serious man for serious times. What did we get? More clown.

Another excerpt from Children Of Memory by @aptshadow.bsky.social.
I'm really close to the end now, and I'm going to have a lot to say about this series then, but for now I just want to say that Tchaikovsky is an expert at the raw art of putting words in order to craft a sentence.

![That's because you lack perspective. Think of it as a proof of concept. Because [highlight start] the real problem with a knowledge-based economy is knowing that, no matter how hard you try, most of the information in the universe has already dissolved into entropy before you even evolved. [Highlight end] So much is lost that we will never know. Societies rise and fall, and everything ends. Even the protracted sojourn our own long-lived culture enjoys can't last forever. But right here, we have a time capsule that has preserved information from who knows how many earlier ages. And it runs experiments with them, creating living, four-dimensional worlds based on the cards it was dealt at the start, and the way the deck was stacked. A machine to cheat time and fate.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:amiu5gp7k2mcqkrllzxac5cm/bafkreiahlkqyhsec5aqtrmcx6qkgv5gdwugnnt2pzigieqaclturxexqoa@jpeg)

To protect #BBC from #TrumpleThinSkin, let him sue & have to justify in court how the report ACTUALLY lowered his reputation in the eyes of right thinking people. Will we wrongly think he's an election thief? A felon? An insurrectionist? A paedophile? A sociopath? A vindictive cry baby? Well, duh!
