If they needed a rapper with a history of talking about the Nigerian government, Kool Keith was right there

Real ones know it's all about Sheriff Tiraspol, the biggest team in the breakaway region of Transnistria, who are a pet project of a KGB oligiarch who is defacto the absolute warlord of Transnistria. A couple of years ago they got right up to the final group stage

Finally finished! A good collection with a very nice variety of setters - a good mix of styles so there should be someone in there on your wavelength. @unchcrosswords.com

November 2022 also just happens to be the bottom of the last tech stock bear market. If you started a few months earlier, this graph would look very different.

It's also comparing two completely different measures - one is a scale with a narrow fixed range, the other is a number with no bounds, indexed rather dishonestly to the exact lowest point of the last tech stock bear market! Just absolutely junk chart

Wait, wait, did they AI generate the island behind the Disney logo? Not even with a good image generator, but one a couple of years old where every texture is an ugly indistinct swirl?

2005 was weirdly slim-pickings - there were no albums that jumped out at me as all time favourites. If it was the year I turned 17, well, that would be another story entirely

Is there a word for that feeling where you think of a joke, search for it, and find lots of other people made it first - and you're delighted

I sometimes wonder if editors of these classic editions get paid by the footnote. The Penguin Classics editions of HG Wells' works have some extraordinary banalities www.sparrowdove.com/2012/03/the-...
![For example, here is an excerpt from The Invisible Man, when Griffin invisibly enters a shop, setting off the bell.
Apparently I had interrupted a meal. [The shopkeeper] stared about the shop with an expression of expectation. This gave way to surprise, and then to anger, as he saw the shop empty. “Damn the boys!”3 he said.
Have you worked out what the shopkeeper means? Almost certainly, since you’ve read at least one book in your life. If you haven’t, here’s the footnote:
3. “Damn the boys!“: As in Chapter 17, Griffin makes someone assume that children have rung the bell and run away.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hpsovucf5ktwjteoa4kpaopf/bafkreihqy7czggbuqrj266lhmvw3fkkxkaxfn6s5hpi7m6sujggyxmwv3m@jpeg)

Almost certainly. French speakers are very well represented in asylum seekers to France - obviously former colonies like Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire, but also the DRC (ex Belgium) and even Haiti which has been independent for over 2 centuries

Why do so many Syrians still apply for asylum in Germany, long after the specific circumstances that caused the first wave have ended? Because there's now an established Syrian community in Germany who can help newcomers.

Some people hate it, but I kind of love those skyscrapers where you just have the tower propped up on big sticks over an old house at the bottom.

I love that the furry stuff is tacked onto a main storyline about a kindergarten teacher worried about some kids whose mother has disappeared.
It's mostly sad melodrama, and then just every so often we cut to the furry convention happening in this tiny Thüringen village.

Your Party also already has a graphic design visual identity which I actually think is pretty strong (it's maybe a bit too 70s throwback for their Gen Z target voters, but I like it), and it's nothing like this. Sorry, but if you're building a political party you need a consistent brand!

The best I can do for "A = advance" is that old cars had a wheel or lever that let you manually adjust the timing of the ignition, with A for advance and R for retard (good thing that one never found wide use...) see eg board.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.ph...

Very weird imho reading about the early careers of Britain First's founders, when they were NI loyalists, and openly boasted about fighting against British forces! It's not just that they have a weird obsession with the UK, it's that it's openly based on a fantasy, not the real British state
![The party's structure is similar to that of Ulster loyalist groups in Northern Ireland, insofar as the group has a political wing backed up by a paramilitary action force (named "Britain First Defence Force").[citation needed] The action force's members assume titles such as "provost marshal", and a document written by Jim Dowson said that "I have lived in the worst trouble spots of Belfast; I have had high powered machine gun fire rip bricks from my house and have been injured by grenade attack. Sometimes we had to defend our homes from the traditional enemy, other times from the forces of the state, the police and army."[23]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hpsovucf5ktwjteoa4kpaopf/bafkreiash6oq6oyj5o2kvfqac3ziyfc33xjymo3hj6wf3e7rpikxkrglju@jpeg)
