If one thing made the Disney/Fox takeover worth it... ...it's that I never knew the world was missing the awesomeness that is Emma Thompson and Homer Simpson duetting "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines"... #thesimpsons

And to be clear, he was like this before Oct 7. Too many people remain in denial of the fact that this openly genocidal ideology has been the norm in Israel for a while. I covered the 2014 war and it was already like that then. It just got worse.

The removal of US bombers from RAF Fairford is a welcome step in ending Britain's role as a staging ground for Trump's imperialist atrocities around the world. We hope this leads to further demilitarisation and the swift removal of US nuclear weapons and personnel from Britain.

if you’ve ever wondered about this one: he’s dressed like a pirate and he has a cockatoo that, instead of “pieces of eight”, says “twelve and a half percent” which, if you do the math, is 1/8 god dammit, Terry

I reiterate that it is *incredible* to look at four years of totally open genocide and destruction, and come away with total certainty that it’s the people saying this is criminal, bad and extremely racist, who are wrong and hateful.

Simple solution: just don't do it. The US desire to find 'clean' ways of killing people is ultimately to try and absolve themselves of what they're doing: killing people. There is no clean and morally pure way of taking a life - and particularly not of someone whose entirely within your power

My gran once went to investigate what was making my aunt giggle with delight. As a toddler, she’d discovered that sticking her mum’s knitting needles into the power socket (1950s) was a fun way to shoot backwards across the kitchen floor. My aunt grew up to be the most sensible person I know 🤷‍♀️

Discworld QOTD, from Interesting Times
“But there are causes worth dying for,” said Butterfly.
“No, there aren’t! Because you’ve only got one life but you can pick up another five causes on any street corner!”
“Good grief, how can you live with a philosophy like that?”
Rincewind took a deep breath.
“Continuously!”

Time for my favourite French Constitutional joke: Man walks into a library and says "excuse me, I'm looking for a copy of the French constitution." "I'm sorry, sir," replies the librarian, "but we don't stock periodicals."

De Gaulle's takeover WAS a military coup, btw. Sorry. But if there are literally paratroopers prepping to drop on the capital, with tanks waiting to roll into Paris then it is not a Sparkling Emergency Prime Minister appointment It is a coup, from the coup region of France.

Kilimanjaro just means "big snowy mountain" (kilima = hill, njaro = snowy), presumably the conversation went thus: British Explorer, armed with flag: "You sir! That there, yonder, what do you call it?" Chagga tribesman [very slowly, for this is clearly an imbecile] "It is a BIG...SNOWY...MOUNTAIN"

It really sticks out with American place names because they were all named in modern English, but so many English place names translate as something like "John's village" or "Bob's forest". Lambeth, in Central London, comes from "landing place for lambs"

I've been called an antisemite and an islamophobe this week for making space for multiple traumas and declaring dead children is wrong no matter who does what travesty to whom. I don't decide what you think of me. I do decide that "dead children is wrong" is a hill I will defend.
