God I miss the early 1970s. They were like the 1960s but later.. . . one of my hobbies is the collecting of old books. I have a set of encyclopedias from the early 1970s.

Reminds me of the time Kim Jong Il (K J Un's daddy) went golfing for the first time and got (someone will correct me if I am wrong) something like eleven holes-in-one - which we have to concede is pretty good for a beginner.

Have we found this one yet?In the Midwest a black man gets into a confrontation with four white men and, there was no attack, he shoots and kills all four of the white men, who were unarmed, and he was found not guilty.

If you’ve been on TikTok in the past week Clearly that's where I am going wrong. Note to self - get TikTok account and don't miss out on those three second video clips where, according to the Guardian, 14% of US adults get their news. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/mar/24/us-election-journa...

I typed 'black man kills four white men' into Google and got back 'It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search'. So even Google doesn't have any provenance for this 'fact' liberty is selling. I probably should not have done that. I'll let you know what Google's algorithm sends my w...

She was knighted (1972, per Wikipedia) and would be formally known as 'Dame Agatha' - for some reason they are usually known only by their forename which is how we have Sir Elton, Sir Mick, Sir Paul (but not Sir Keef), Dame Judi, Dame Helen etc.

Re: There will be a bloodbath if Trump loses in November
Not sure about the theology of all this. I thought hell was a set piece and 'we' are not trying to make its foundations quiver by shouting at it, 'we' are just trying to keep people out of the place by making sure they don't do murder, ass coveting, adultery and graven images. That sort of thing.

I'm pretty sure that if I said - and just to be clear I am not saying this - that I'm just waiting for the call and then I'd kill everyone, I'd be locked up.

Re: Oh the who?manity
Yes I did miss the DM "Straight outta Compton' headline but my point is that this sort of opinion was not widespread and as I said "My recollection is that the majority of the UK press treated her as a breath of fresh air." I should probably have added 'much-needed' before 'breath' in that sentence....

Hilarious - Tucker Carlson pranked
The Guardian and Mother Jones (links below) are reporting that two jolly japers fooled Mr Carlson into believing that they worked at KP (Kensington Palace) and had been fired for making a hash of editing Kate's innocent snap of the kids. In order to convince that august 'reporter' of their provenanc...

Re: Fani Willis can continue
It's worth reading the judge's opinion. I found this to be odd. (From page 17 of the decision.) Forensic Misconduct The Georgia Supreme Court also recognizes forensic misconduct, or improper comment, by the State as grounds for disqualification. One example of such forensic misconduct is "expression...

Fani Willis can continue
So the judge has ruled that Ms Willis can continue as lead prosecutor but her 'former romantic partner' Nathan Wade has to withdraw. (There's a joke there but I will let someone else do it.) Assuming that Ms Willis and Mr Wade did not, in fact, abuse public funds, this seems like an odd decision to ...

Re: Watching SOTU
I have no clue what those last four posts are about.
In other news, it's possible that Tommy Tuberville is now celebrating the fact that he is no longer the dumbest senator from Alabama. But I'm not worried, I think he'll take back his crown soon enough. Just give him time, it'll happen.
