Marianne Faithfull. RIP to yourself.

You'll be delighted to hear that he's just spent 20 minutes blaming diversity hires for the Washington plane crash last night.

Never mind that. Remy fucking Cabella!

The German parliament just voted for a big change in its asylum/border policy. Given how the world is right now, I can see a version of events where this repeats itself throughout the EU and free movement ends up going back to being more restricted like it used to be. I suppose that could eventually be what helps to sway the mood in this country in favour of some kind of EU rapprochement, since it was one of the key Brexit arguments in the first place. Assuming we're still capable of adult debate in any meaningful sense by then, of course.

This is objectively hilarious.

17,561 people looked at their ballot paper last year and thought "yep, she's the one I want representing me!".

Absolutely this. The annoying thing is the pie filling was really nice. It just wasn't filling a pie.

I was at the Border Minstrel in Gosforth Park the other day and they didn't even bother to make it look like a neat hat

Live footage from Front Street:

I see a Chinese AI is causing mass panic among the American tech bros. As much as it really doesn't help artists and writers if the tech itself gets cheaper and more widely available, it'll still be quite funny to see these self-proclaimed visionaries and innovators realise that, when your entire business model is based on stealing stuff that other people have created, guess what - anyone else can steal it too. 🤯

Further proof that mouthy, easily offended, unnaturally orange people will always prosper. As if Leanne winning the Traitors wasn't bad enough.

Fun language lesson for you, here's a useful Dutch word: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swaffelen

Howmanhey Blown away What else do I have to say?

I've thought the same thing (I also have a condition that entitles me to an exemption card), but I suppose it makes pharmacists' lives quicker and easier rather than having to work out what's exempt and what isn't and potentially argue the toss every time.

Our everlasting respect and admiration.

Guess what, I also didn't watch it. No huge appetite to witness the green light being given to the tens if not hundreds of millions of mouthy fuckwads who are going to feel enabled to make my friends' life hell for the next four years. I'm sure I'm engaging in some kind of "identity politics" by making such a comment, but that doesn't seem hugely relevant right now, funnily enough.

The laptop screen being attached the wrong way round is a deliciously surreal touch

Above us?

Unhappy finish.

That sounds about right.

Anamphylaxis?
