It's difficult to explain just how bad food was in the UK in the eighties. This was a commercial. To make people come and buy food. That was this.

This killing is overtly a state-sponsored murder. The video is astonishing in its ugly simplicity.
That the Iranian mullahs aren't broadcasting it to the world in direct reply to Trump's fatuous claims about defending nonviolent protestors on the streets of Tehran is simply bad public relations.

I picked up a bunch of tapes in a charity shop today, some mad one was recording to VHS off the telly in 2014.
In Yorkshire, so that might go some way towards explaining it.

what's on my desk today is unfortunately topical: the first collection of folk-tales in Kalaallisut (Greenlandic), printed on the first major printing-press in Nuuk in 4 volumes from 1859 to 1856, illustrated by the Inuk hunter and artist Aron of Kangeq

Exactly one Allied combat fatality happened in Greenland during World War II, and he was a Danish soldier on patrol killed in a firefight with a German weather station crew.
Ogles: "It's important that we have a stake in Greenland, that they are quite frankly a protectorate of the US. They've been in relationship with Denmark - that needs to end. We've spilled more blood protecting Greenland than the Danes... we are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere"

CBS News has fully fallen, and I hope the honorable journalists left there are looking for quick, safe landing pads. I know the expectation is always “Just quit!” but that’s hard for most normal people to do without going broke. My thoughts are with all of them. This is grotesque.
Tonight on the CBS Evening News, the 5-year anniversary of January 6 got 15 seconds of coverage 25 minutes into the show. The only pictures shown: Pardoned “defendants” marching through DC as Dokoupil said Trump accused Dems of “failing to prevent” J6 while “Jeffries accused Trump of “whitewashing.”

FYI:
In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.
