We all gather to see Paul Krugman appear as a glowing hologram.. "In the year 2025, a leader called 'The Ass' is going to bamboozle the people of our galaxy, and he will destroy our economy with tariffs"

You're lucky your computer is able to run Windows 11. I'm being pushed into Linux.. but I'm happy for the shove. I swapped over a laptop to Ubuntu just to see how difficult it was to do, and my god what a difference. It runs sweeter and faster, and the battery lasts longer

This is why I'm convinced it's a tool. If it was purely decorative they would have made all the holes the same size

Erk!
The "island of sanity in a sea of madness" thing is quite an important premise. I think I'll keep my money in my wallet for now. Maybe sometime in the future when I've got a bit of spare time I'll watch it
Thanks for the reply

I don't think MRIs have the resolution to scan something as small as his brain
He either really doesn't know what they scanned, which suggests mental incapacity
or he thinks that not knowing is an acceptable answer, which also suggests mental incapacity

I've heard so many bad things about Foundation, but I loved the trilogy. I don't subscribe to Apple. Do you think I'd be disappointed if I did? There are so many characters in the books, I just don't see how they could do it justice

Tim Davie has already fallen on his sword. Hopefully his successor can keep the Damien Days out of the newsrooms
The whole suit thing is ridiculous, but Trump is losing his marbles, as evident by him suing the Wall Street Journal just as the Epstein birthday card made its appearance

I'm not her biggest fan, but I do hope she heeds yer advice
You'd think they wouldn't assassinate her after Charlie Kirk
But we've got this show in the UK called "The Traitors." One of their strategies is "I wouldn't do anything so obviously incriminating" as a double bluff

Panorama has always been sensationalist. They deserve a slap on the wrist, not a fine of... a quadrillion Dollars!
Trump is trying to control the press in other countries. I don't want to see my own country's press intimidated by that... cunt

Definitely the Winter of Discontent, but what happened afterwards wasn't because of Thatcher, it was *despite* Thatcher

I'm a licence payer. I'd be happy for the BBC to countersue. The edit did not alter the gist of his speech
Let it be shown in court he waited 3 hrs before intervening, he wanted his thugs to carry guns, and he pardoned the cop killers afterwards

Flour is already a carbohydrate. The yeast can feed on that fine enough. I've never had to add sugar to any of the bread I've baked
Adding sugar to bread to make it sweeter is like adding ethanol to wine to make it stronger

What about fireworks? In the UK we can only buy fireworks around the 5th November. Can you get them all year round?
We'll be wanting champagne corks flying, billowing clouds of fireworks, dancing in the streets, smiles and laughter everywhere around the world
