The word 'change' should be taboo in election campaigns. It's meaningless. Losing a limb is 'change'. Waking up to a bus in your living room is 'change'. Just because you're sick of whoever the current mob is - and almost all of us almost always are - don't fall for an utterly empty promise.
Ah fuck. Pretty much everyone in Soulhalla has been waiting a long time to play with this guy again.
if I could only listen to one kind of music for the rest of my life, the answer would be Memphis soul. RIP Steve Cropper, whose guitar and production defined the Stax sound as much as Booker T’s organ or Otis Redding’s shout

Shame Jonathan Gullis joined Reform. He had a bright future in standing next to a pub fruit machine telling you what buttons to press.

#DieHard (Ode To Joy) 1/3

Take your shoes off
Put your vest on
It's that time of year
Again
When bad guys are
Taught a lesson
Courtesy of
John McClane

He'll crawl through your
Ventilation
He'll run over
Broken glass
Shooting perps
Of every nation
In their dirty
Rotten arse.

👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽

Music to my ears. ~AA

God knows I've vehemently disagreed with many politicians in my voting life, but I have honestly never known a generation of politicians so lacking in basic political talent or ethics as this one. Right across the board.

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.
