My two favourite bands collide!
![Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers on Thin Lizzy's "Sarah":
Thin Lizzy was always a pin badge on my denim jacket when I was younger. Such an immaculate band, weren't they? I'd like to have chosen Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, but that's a Phil Lynott solo song. There's a live version of that song that I absolutelv love, which I think is the B-side of a single. I'm going with Sarah. There are two reasons for my selection. One is that I absolutely love Sarah. It's one of those great songs that saw Phil wear his heart on his sleeve [it was written about his newly born daughter]. And secondly, James [Dean Bradfield, Manics frontman] had a girlfriend called Sarah who dumped him, and we used to take the piss out of him by playing that song on the tour bus](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7i5c7spmy6rbpywwo5add7w3/bafkreihndof2r47bnpoek7jrinfzn7yk6eisenr7d67xmuvs5bvv32efpi@jpeg)

As @prowlsghost.bsky.social says, Babylon 5 for me, but also The Shield ended in a perfect, completely and utterly soul-horrifying way, as it should have.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

I would bet ten whole pounds that when they force us all to get the Where Are Your Papers, Know Your Place Citizen Scum National ID App, Fujitsu will get the administration contract.

I like to imagine, for example, the Italians, or the French or really any other top tier food nation, watching the Americans and the British tear into each other over each other's cuisines with the same disgust as they would watch two mangy strays fighting in an alley over a decomposing rat carcass.

Also neat at CES: HP’s battery-powered PC built into a keyboard. Sort of a screenless laptop.

Not enough that any functioning society shouldn't let Yarvin and his ilk on any broadcaster, people like him should be terrified of leaving the house because of the likelihood of getting their nuts booted right up through their bodies and into their throats.
Just the BBC, the national broadcaster, mainstreaming a fascist blogger. I guess this is normal now.

In honor of Hayao Miyazaki's birthday, what's your favorite Studio Ghibli film? Doesn't have to be the one you think is "the best," just the one that nestled in your heart. Mine is Howl's Moving Castle.

In the very first Black Mirror, the UK PM fucked a pig live on TV in order to save the life of a royal, the only imaginable reason why he could have been made to do so. If that thing in the White House asked our current PM to fuck a pig, he would have his belt off before the end of the sentence.

nothing infuriates the average paid political commentator more than the fact that every 15 year old baby leftist doing earnestly naive posts about 'Amerikkka' at any point in the last 30 years has better analysis with a sounder grounding in the facts than they do.

Trump is a greedy, spiteful, racist, pedophilic, woman-hater. He was handed power TWICE because enough people thought they'd benefit from a leader with one or more of those qualities. Anyone who has ever well-actually'd themselves into refuting this very obvious truth should be viewed with suspicion

Elliott Abrams specifically wants this, as does his network. It didn’t begin in Trump term two. Began with Iran-Contra and continued through multiple admins, including Bush and also Biden, who installed Abrams as an advisor in 2023. Same horrible people with same horrible plans for a half century.
Who specifically wants this? And why? It feels like more than just oil. I am not saying the reason is good or even rooted in reality, I just want know what it is. Is it just that some people have wanted this for a long time like they do with Iran?

This is probably a bit of an odd time to say it and it's hardly surprising but fuck me I hate Jimmy Carr. I really, really fucking loathe everything about him. Hate his smug fucking face, his smug fucking voice, just everything really.
