What day are you planning to start it, Andrew?

Rightyo, now that the outage stuff is sorted it is time to do some proper maintenance and upgrades on this place. I'm timing this to coincide with the usual annual bits n pieces like site renewal and security certificates but a full board software upgrade hasn't happened since 2017 or so so this is a biggie. Since I am unsure how long this work will take I am not going to put a full timeline on it, it might be a day might be the whole week. Most regular users are now on our backup Discord, which will be TT for the time we're down doing this work. If you aren't yet please DM myself or one of the other mods/admins and we will provide the link for you. Any questions chuck them in here or DM me. Cheers!

Finished dept Q, enjoyed it, it was a bit different.

Saw Trevor Noah at the Apollo yesterday. A comedian at the top of his game. A two hour set absolutely flew by. He took questions from the audience at the end and just riffed for the last half hour - superb talent

Andor is the best Star Wars spinoff for ages. Really great TV. Another shout for Dept. Q too. Enjoying it so far about four episodes in

FYP

Possibly so. Also sort of makes Trump look good I guess. Maybe it really is that simple.

Distracting from the other headlines within the US?

It's a weird one though given that they're unlikely to have done any real damage to Iran's nuclear program, and that Israel was calling for regime change and Khamenei's death. What was the point in any of it?

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-high-performance-podcast/id1500444735?i=1000713461348 good one on him shows his fortitude, and quite a few insights.

Aye but on this occasion he might actually be about to end this without further drama, so I'm all for it.

His quotes man. I probably shouldn’t laugh but he’s strangleh hilarious, which is perverse given how dangerous he is. Absolute loose cannon. Who knows what he’s going to do or say next? He was tweeting about regime change this morning

I have considered myself as an educated person in the past, but seeing fascist narratives becoming mainstream opinion I simply don’t give a fuck outside of my work confronting the erosion of the rule of law. People can seriously fuck off tbh.

"Classier" gets me every time - they genuinely believe it as well.

How would they know what a CL away game was like?

Aye, worryingly authoritarian.

You see what you want to see, I'm not here to persuade you. I'm just explaining why they did it. As for the Tesla thing, both were political acts of criminal damage. I could see the UK calling this sabotage, but not terrorism. Terrorism is a fucking stupid thing to call it - but it does give the government the largest number of options to silence people.

The linked article doesn't really offer any proof the RAF are launching these flights for any other reasons than the stated purpose of hostage location. If the implication is that the RAF are involved in genocidal activity I hope that comes out one day if it's true. Think there is quite a difference between setting alight a Tesla and breaking into MoD land as well, but again I don't know what's really happened.

I'm struggling to handle all the back and forth on this Genuinely will be relieved when July 1st hits.

Aye, sounds like we've moved onto Elanga as our RW choice. We are apparently in talks for both Trafford and Joao Pedro. Those 3 would be a mint 3/4 of a window, and we would only need a CB after that

I'm aware of the Israeli casualties, I resent the entire situation for civilians on both sides - consequently I watch the damage on both sides. I just mean Israel have announced they've knocked out all 99% of all long range missiles within the last day or so, meaning they should be approaching some semblance of safety. More importantly Trump has decided to overlook Iran's counterattack and is walking towards peace - so it seems DJT is the great peacemaker of our time, a shining beacon of Western civilisation's values as he disarms a rogue state of religious fanatics with aspirations of genocide of their nuclear weapons, seemingly calming their fanaticism at the same time. By the metric we're judging this situation on, it's a huge win for him.

We're flying surveillance to support Israeli bombardment - hence hitting the RAF. No one voted for it, but we're doing it. https://www.declassifieduk.org/britain-sent-over-500-spy-flights-to-gaza/ I mean I don't actually agree with it either for what it's worth but if this is terrorism then so is destroying Tesla - seems Starmer agrees with Trump.
