Every method of execution the various US states use is an attempt to obfuscate the act of killing someone beneath a veneer of early 20th century technocratic modernity, and every method they use is more brutal than the ones they tut at other countries for using.

The crusaders.

'We make LESS but things cost MORE!' says Girl. 'RETVRN!' cries a crusading Cat. 'To when we made less and things cost the same! Weather is spiraling out of control - with 2 degrees of warming baked in.' 'RETVRN!' cries Cat. 'To weather spiraling out of control with 1.5 degrees of warming baked in' says Girl. 'People aren't going to the emergency room because they're afraid of immigration-' 'RETVRN!' '-they should be NOT GOING because they CAN'T AFFORD IT! Leopards are eating my face=' 'RETVRN!' '- to when leopards were eating YOUR face!' 'RETVRN to 2015!' cries Cat. 'Sound the battle horn!' yells Girl. Cat plays a long golden horn, which blasts out the sound 'GOOD ENOUGH.' 'Now we just wait for an army to assemble,' says Cat. They wait.

Just read an article about research that says AI is 47% more sycophantic than actual humans, and that you'd get bad advice and be trained not to accept friction and pushback in your conversations And I swear. I swear. That article was written by AI. Not one clue. Not two clues. But several clues.

At least we didn't all lose our minds and inflict ten years of the Tories on ourselves in order to eventually try and sneak a watered down version of the 2019 Labour manifesto back in and hope nobody notices and asks awkward questions.

Listen. I'm not saying there's anything to the conspiracy theory about the rich and powerful harvesting glands from young children to try to keep themselves young. What I am saying is that if anybody at all anywhere in the world is doing anything remotely like that, it's not not Tony Blair

It's quite simple. You get the bridges off Central Government's books by assigning them to Greater London Council. Then you abolish that and assign the bridges to local London Councils like Hammersmith and Fulham that don't begin to have the budget to renovate them. Then you starve those of funds.

Has it ever been explained to the public that indulging racists will leave the rest of us poorer and worse off? I feel like if you'd read any British newspaper or seen any broadcast news or listened to any Labour MP for the last 5 years, you'd think the exact opposite. Strange.

Ok seriously, I'm not making it up: the very junior wrestlers from the lowest division now ceremonially throw the referee into the air to let the spirits know that the tournament is over, and subtly suggest they go back to the heavens.

#sumospoilers It's all over again for five weeks. Onosato, the Yokozuna, squared up against Aonishiki, the Ukrainian tyro looking for another tournament win to spark his own Yokozuna run. It was a relatively straightforward win for the enormous Yokozuna to end a good tournament. Now, 1000 prizes.

#sumospoilers Small feisty man Fujinokawa was up against huge humongous man Atamifuji who must weigh twice as much as him. He took the charge, was forced back, and then ta-daa! Somehow he shrugged the huge man off with a flourish like a bullfighter and Atamifuji was on the ground

There are only (I think 3?) colours of giant macaron and they are on a fixed rotation; if you care enough you can work out in advance what colour it will be. Sumo Association missing a great chance for Alfredo Frog "what flavour will it be" (you'd have to be both British and old for the reference)

The problem with "just store asylum seekers on military bases" aside from the obvious two that it's inhumane and we should just process asylum applications timeously, is that we sold off much of the estate and underfunded the rest and there isn't even livable housing for the shrunken army

#sumospoilers Kotozakura, frequently referred to in these parts as "the sad remains of Kotozakura" unexpectedly beat Onosato today. On Ozeki is meant to be a challenge for a Yokozuna but it's been a long time since he has been. Tomorrow Aonishiki fights Onosato for all the marbles.

He was terrible (in the context of the top 30-odd people to do sumo in the entire world) and then he quietly became quite good. He always seems off balance and confused, and then he wins anyway and you realise he's better than his Oaf Style Sumo and unusual body plan makes him look.

I don't care about the list of TV shows. They only released the list of TV shows so everyone would have Opinions about the list of TV shows. I'm fully aware that "I don't care about the list" is also a well-worn trope in response to TV Shows. I used to like to watch Hey Duggee with Little Nephew

Rather than targeting old people because many of them have money, I suggest we target people with money. This has the advantage of including people with money who aren't old, as well as excluding old people who don't have money. Radical plan I know.
