The Royal Armouries at Leeds was a fun afternoon out. Well worth the price of admission, which was zero.

If I was in any way worried that my political party was being called Nazis and wanted to reassure people that we weren't Nazis or Nazi adjacent, I would not pick a logo like this one. That's just me though, maybe UKIP aren't worried about being called Nazis
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Whether it's conservative men with guns shooting Honda-driving women in the head or Honda-driving women making conservative men with guns feel scared, both sides share blame for conservative men with guns shooting Honda-driving women in the head.

we simply transport the now-former ICE employees by boat to Jeffrey Epstein's island, where they live out their days subsisting on old chicken carcasses tour boats toss towards the shore
anyone who thinks that abolishing ICE would be hard because "what do we do with the tens of thousands of ICE personnel" is deeply over complicating things

I've been struggling to summon the focus to actually read books for a while now, but audio books have been helping. Currently listening to The Devils, which is my first dalliance with that Joe Abercrombie. Good stuff.

While various options such as the works of HP Lovecraft or Dune springs to mind, I have to go with Good Omens, which is 50% absolute cunt.
Fuck you, Gaiman.

I have played better games since this gem from 1990, no doubt... but I probably enjoyed Lords of Chaos on the ZX Spectrum more than most of them

Really makes you think
Given that small amounts of water are capable of carving entire canyons and ravines into rock, it's amazing that our piss holes don't get sanded wider as we get older.

Foley is Good
Pro-wrestling legend Mick Foley announced this morning that he's parting ways with WWE over the organization's "close relationship with Donald Trump," saying the president's "incredibly cruel comments in the wake of Rob Reiner’s death is the final straw for me."

Stranger Things season 5 and The War Between the Land and the Sea have been added to the want to watch but I'm just not watching for some reason list. Oh, and Ironheart too.
Doomscrolling while something like The Simpsons plays in the background is a much better option apparently

So far my list of TV shows I in theory really want to watch but can't be bothered to watch for some reason is quite lengthy
Andor S2
A Thousand Blows
Alien: Earth
Last Samurai Standing
Welcome to Derry
Any other suggestions for things I can want to watch then not actually watch?

The right’s callous overdiagnosis bandwagon is rolling. Wes Streeting should not be on it | John Harris
Thankfully, we now know more about conditions such as autism and ADHD. The health secretary must not be part of this attempt to turn back the clock, says Guardian columnist John Harris
