Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026...to compromise on that, then full rejoin would be much easier. I also think the EU may become more open to a status less than full rejoin, if for no other reason than that the UK would still be likely to veto future moves toward deeper political or fiscal integration. 000
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026...that it isn't a binary choice and that the EU has become more flexible (as they've indicated with Canada) and that the UK needs a consensus on how to proceed that a large majority of the British people support. The big sticking point on full rejoin will be over the euro. If the EU is open... 110
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026(Anyone who isn't already set on full rejoin, that is.) There's method to Burnham's madness here, methinks - if he goes all-in on "rejoin at all costs" the discussion will bog down on details, particularly on adopting the euro or not. By starting with "less discuss the alternatives" he admits... 110
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Macron needs to realize that the best thing he can do to help the cause of the UK rejoining is to keep his mouth firmly shut. The last person anyone in Britain wants to hear from on this subject is Macron. (Well, second last after Trump, of course.) 100
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I wouldn't be surprised if they were selling really badly and the two companies agreed to have Pop-Tarts say "we're worried about the children!" so they didn't have to admit they were a flop. I had zero desire to buy these even though I love Pop-Tarts. 020
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I'm generally inclined to ignore anything and everything the Grim Reaper says, but in a way he sort of makes a point here - the GOP in Congress is so absolutely useless it can't do anything right now. So pathetic. 000
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026"Dude" was nongendered a while back too. Back in the 70s/80s we still used "dudette" - I'm not sure when that died out, but I don't remember ever hearing it after the late 80s. 000

Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I'm afraid to even look - I had a Chase Continental debit card back in the day and to earn miles just with debit transactions wasn't going to ever get you much. (I did have Silver, but through a combination of credit card and BIS miles.) 010
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I didn't know this was released with Sensurround (only saw it on TV), but my family went to see Earthquake with Sensurround.

Reposted by Craig DeBlockBoo!-per Lund @cooperlund.online · 28/09/2026The GOP is an opposition party even when it's in power, the idea that they are the perpetual underdog is central to their internal mythology and can't be disturbed by facts or the results of elections. It's also why they're bad at, you know, governing. 181989358

Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 28/09/2026More common than you might think, lots of sports bars use DirecTV as the main source but also have local cable for things DirecTV doesn't carry, like CBC in border areas (for hockey fans) or some local team games. Boston cable carries (or at least used to carry) the SRC channel from Sherbrooke, QC. 000
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 28/09/2026You can still get delays with various combinations of cable, streaming, and satellite. Don't know why. At home I've also seen this with streaming vs. broadcast, even when the streamer (Paramount+) is just picking up my local station's feed (station ID appears o the stream every half-hour or so.) 100

Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I'd argue that in the overall culture of the anglophone world Bluey has had more impact, but if AT was on the list I'd be fine with it. Strong anti-animation bias in that list. 120
Craig DeBlock @cdeblock.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Yeah, I have issues with some of this, starting with the lack of animation. I'd add Bluey and Bob's Burgers, although you could make a case for others too. Also need to add The Expanse and Fallout. Get Louie off of there. Battlestar Galactica needs to be much higher, the UK Office much lower. 030
