Needled man says what?
Challenged again about whether he had racially abused anyone, Farage responded: “No, not with intent.” When the interviewer told Farage that he did not understand what he meant by “not with intent”, the Reform leader responded: “You wouldn’t.”

I would make him Duke of Rockall and stipulate that he had to live there.

Great cartoon by Ella Baron in The Guardian.
A woman with a black eye and a bloodied nose and mouth has a St George's Cross drawn across her face using her own blood by a finger labelled 'the far right'.

Rupert Lowe is on to something. Look at this pair of fighting-age men celebrating reaching the British mainland. It's a scandal.
British rowers Matthew Pinsent (left) and Steve Redgrave celebrate winning an Olympic gold medal for coxless pairs rowing in Atlanta, USA, in 1996.

As someone of a similar height, I can get on board with this. Also, Steve Hofstetter is great.

Munich is always good value - for example the Krampuslauf (Krampus run) is a great event in the run-up to Christmas.

For some reason this morning I have decided to listen to OK Computer by Radiohead for the first time in 20+ years. What an album. No, I'm not crying. You're crying.
The album cover of OK Computer by Radiohead, a collage of blue images featuring a motorway junction, the nosecone of an aeroplane or high speed train, a pedestrian, and a black X on a blue square.

As George Carlin observed:
Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. George Carlin

Whaddaya mean, no notes?
Father Dougal, sitting with a musical keyboard, is being berated by Father Ted, who tells him, "The thing you were just doing! Play the effing note!" Ted then throws down the guitar he is holding and walks away.

A much-loved venue near me held its last Northern Soul night before its imminent closure last night. As Al Wilson's 'The Snake' came on, I started furiously rewriting it in my head. This is the result. I can only apologise.
On their way to vote one morning In the land alongside Great Lakes Some crucial swing state voters saw a fat old orange snake. Its puckered mouth was moving, saying things that it would do “Oh well!” they cried, “I'm taken in “And I’m gon’ vote for you.” “Vote me in, oh tender voters, “Vote me in for Heaven’s sake, “Vote me in, tender voters,” Sighed the snake. Well he’d wrapped it up all cosy Did the snake and all his ilk He told the folks he cut the price Of gas, bread, eggs, and milk Well they hurried off to voting booths And to no-one’s great surprise They made a 47 from what once a 45. Taken in, oh tender voters, He's a felon, for Heaven’s sake, Taken in, tender voters You chose the snake. Well, elation filled their bosoms, “It's so beautiful”, they cried “Cos if we hadn't have chosen him, “By now, he'd be inside.” Well they wore their MAGA hats with pride And they partied through the night, But instead of saying "thanks”, that snake gave them a vicious bite. (Ooh!) Taken in, oh silly voters, We’re going downhill without the brakes Taken in, silly voters By the snake. “But we saved you!”, cried the voters, “And you bit us, even, why? “We’ve lost our jobs and services, “And our allies wish we'd die.” “Oh shut up, silly voters,” Said the felon with a grin, “You knew darned well I was a snake “Before you put me in.” Take it in, you silly voters, Look at the world you've helped create Take it in, you silly voters For the snake.

The '25' car registration came in yesterday in the UK. If you see a 25-plate Tesla out in the wild, you can be sure, for the first time, that the owner of that car is totally untroubled by the damage Elon Musk is doing right now. You are free to judge them accordingly.
