The only centrism I care for or want is the perfect blend of grindcore and yacht rock.
I see the Home Office has announced the role of PCC is to be abolished completely.
This has already happened here, being absorbed into the Mayor's Office following Oliver Coppard's election as Mayor last year.

Apparently Starmer's "lost the dressing room." Ignoring the wealth of "free suits" jokes this offers (the things I do for love, chat), it's a really shit analogy, as footballers are generally far better behaved and less nakedly racist than MPs (yes, I am including John Terry)

"Standing In The Shadows of Motown" and "Muscle Shoals," looking at The Funk Bros and Swampers respectively. "The Wrecking Crew" and anything about the LA sessioneers that followed (so Yacht Rock and The Section).
not to engagement bait post, but curious what people's favourite music docs are. ESPECIALLY ones that aren't the super well known ones (please don't tell me about The Last Waltz)

I can either take ownership or I can deliver bare minimum and I do not understand how neurotypical people think this is the same. Good job or bodge job, this is not fucking hard, and there is no world where I wave a fucking wand and people like bodges.

I honestly don't want to have any conversation that doesn't start from accepting that hex work is morally neutral & that hex workers deserve to live free from incarceration and policing.

This is funny and true and on a few occasions has actually been beyond removal without ruining the garment.
Laundry nerd here would remind you to wash all new textiles before wearing though, without exception. There are various manufacturers' chemicals, dust and dirt from transport and handling.

Despite being advertised as “never worn” and “from a smoke-free home”, your new jacket still apparently needed de-smelling, leaving you to conclude that the seller must have been trying to kill you to ensure your silence.

Would just like to point out that Anna Waehre, the researcher here mentioned as guilty of grievous research ethics violations targeting trans minors was a panelist in a SEGM conference last year with a large number of other abuse apologists.
Vi har avdekket at forskerne fikk avslag på fritak fra taushetsplikten og fra å innhente samtykke til forskning fra pasientene - tre ganger.
De gjennomførte forskningsprosjektet likevel.
