Cat gets up out of bed, wanders outside, eats some grass, comes back inside, barfs on the carpet, goes back to bed.

There are still people pushing the "self-defence", "antisemitic" narrative.

Let's get a few things straight.

The term for slaughtering tens of thousands of defenceless people who have nothing to do with any attacks on you isn't self-defence, it is genocide.

Deliberately starving people who have nothing to do with any attacks on you isn't self-defence, it is a crime against humanity.

Valid criticism of the Israeli state is not antisemitic it is not a criticism of all Jews.

These old Minis seem to be popular so here’s another one. I can’t find much information on this particular one but it seems to have been created by a company called L&H in Germany for the 25th anniversary of the original Mini in 1984. Snapped at Techno Classica Essen in 2019.

Media folks. An 'election' where all credible opposition is either dead or in jail, where armed men are in the polling booth with voters looking at how they vote, isn't an election. Please cease playing Putin's game, don't call it an election, it isn't. Call it a fake election, call it a corrupt election, but never ever just 'election'. Call it out every time.

Should I trust a reviewer who states the "product is grate"?

The top of this lil table was wrecked with water damage. Veneer all discoloured and peeling off, mouldings broken and falling off. I removed the mouldings and veneer. It's made of plywood, so I sanded that till nice. Stained it, then cleaned up, repaired and re-glued the mouldings, finishing with Danish oil. Not too shabby a result, it'll have some more life yet. Something very satisfying about taking something destined for landfill and making it useful again.

Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957)

Currently watching the movie on Film4. Douglas and Lancaster are always worth watching.

It occurs to me that the owners of the corral were hardly selling their services. They could have named it the Exceptional Corral. :ablobthinkingeyes:

We are living in a time when a lot of people apparenty believe that George Galloway is the least shitty of the shits available to vote for, and they might be right.

Has your aluminium step ladder gone all wobbly, when you climb on does it feel floppy? Never mind help is at hand, just drill the old rivets out and replace them with some big mothers. Now your steps are nice and stiff, rigid when you climb on. The innuendo is free, no charge for that.

Can we gather up everyone who wants wars, stick them all on a remote island, armed to the teeth, and just let them get on with it.

Just had one of those AHA! moments: we should build houses for the homeless, of course we should, that's obvious. But we build them at FIVE HUNDRED YEAR QUALITY. That is to say, designed so that, with minimal maintenance, they will be good homes for 500 years. Yes, obviously that makes them a bit more expensive in the short term. But it means we develop a building industry with the skills to build 500 year homes. But more...
