I have tidied my desk. I now have piles of stuff rather than stuff everywhere. If it's on my desk, I know where it is. But I think I may only need one of the four mice.

Dems being completely played here. It's not a war crime if you're not at war. And if you're at war, you can suspend elections.

And once again... You can't go calling it a war crime if you're not at war.
After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

Two things here:
For it to be a war crime, don't you have to be at war?
And isn't blowing up an unidentified vessel in international waters a crime too?

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

We used to live in a rural village. We often had power outages, sometimes for several days. No mains gas, so we would literally have frozen without a wood-burning stove.
I don’t think a blanket-ban is fair or practical. But they maybe shouldn’t be allowed where there are reliable alternatives.

Jet2 737 charter flight arriving in Blackpool this afternoon. That's just about the biggest plane the runway can cope with. Might be fun in the heavy rain.
Think its Ipswich Town, playing at Blackburn tomorrow.

Just seen an article on local news about a reindeer that escaped on the beach during some Christmas lights switch on.
They interviewed someone from RNLI (I think) who got involved. I particularly liked the bit where he said "We shepherded him towards the rifle range"

I couldn't care less whether the chancellor "lied" or "misled". I don't care about manifesto commitment "technicalities".
What I do care about is that I, and millions of others, voted for an alternative, an antithesis to the right-wing heartless, selfish, elitist government. Not a clone of it.

Junior's just opened day 1 of his Halfords socket set advent calendar.
I'm waiting until he gets a 12mm socket, then he can go tighten the loft ladder and I can get the decorations down.

Of all the things you can control with your pone or smart speaker, the most useful one would be a smart electric blanket, so you can turn it on to warm the bed without having to go up to your bedroom.
It's just about the only thing I can't find.
