All my passwords are from a particular data set, which is available on Wikipedia. I have a spreadsheet that has a number on it next to each website that refers to that data but does not say what it is. I've told my wife and eldest kid how it works. Main problem is I have to look passwords up a lot

If you want more snow and trains then can I recommend Snowdrift at Bleath Gill youtu.be/-ugIoMD495E?.... Ten minutes that will mostly make you go "you know what? Fuck that."

Fires Were Started, Night Mail, Thirty Million Letters, all that stuff. Fascinating to watch, even now

Don't usually go a bundle on Back When Britain Was Great but I do reckon it was a smart move to put our public information films in the hands of interesting creative people and just leave them to it.

Ah, but Labour in 2024? Yeah, but they didn't win on Tory-Labour switchers. That strategy failed. They still won, but their plan to do so wasn't the thing that won it.

Surely the idea that this route is a sure thing has been comprehensively defeated by now? Even in eg France, it only wins when the only other option is the absolute worst and even then only just.

"Joe Biden won in 2020 with the highest number of votes in a presidential election in history. Right. And who has the second-highest?"

Nice to see that Sgt Bash found a new career after he retired from active service.

Back when the BNP were in the ascendant I made the point that you could probably find a couple of policies in their manifesto which, in isolation, I could support. But I'd still never vote for them because Send The Buggers Back is something I'll never support. I'm now saying the same about Labour.

And even where they do do something to appeal to these voters, it's lost in the absolute avalanche of repugnant shit they do to try and win over people who think they're at best Maoists.

Shelley: FINALLY, someone understands my vision!
King: and what's your vision, mary?
Shelley: that frankenstein is super fuckable
King: the doctor or the monster?
Shelley: why not both?
del Toro: yeah, why not both?

Alarming how Tolkien had become a red flag for tech bro/manosphere/right wing bullshit, really.
