Currently culture is a bit strange, but people read, listen to music, watch television and film and so on ? spread the net wide, sports, activities, interests, all relevant ? and any pointers are always welcome. And it?s … Continue reading "Culture Thread 11/1/2026"
guestposter - 10:15 Sun Jan 11, 2026 All examples welcome in comments. So, let’s get this straight, the President of Ireland shouldn’t comment on international law? And to do so is ‘pontificating’ .? It would still be far better for Jessie Buckley to make a show of herself a second time, though, than to use the occasion to stand up and give … Continue reading "Sunday and other stupid statements from this week"
WorldbyStorm - 12:26 Sat Jan 10, 2026 Okay, spent an odd 2025 playing computer games. A bit hard to describe because unlike other years no single game predominated.

Her beautiful Keening with with the atmospheric backgrounds and then out of nowhere we get the fantastic ‘Did you ever get the ride at the Wakehouse’ and a crowd that had previously been engrossed in a beautiful wall of sound starts singing “did … Continue reading "This Weekend I’ll Mostly Be Listening to… RÓIS "
guestposter - 11:07 Fri Jan 09, 2026 An oddly local note in respect of the grim killing of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent. The White House from the President down are attempting to portray this as an example of ‘domestic terrorism’, which as the Guardian notes: [is] at odds with video footage of the incident, which has been widely shared online. … Continue reading "Minnesota killing"
WorldbyStorm - 10:39 Fri Jan 09, 2026 This would be funny, were it not that cuts were going to occur anyhow. A Reform-led local authority has confirmed it is planning to increase council tax by the maximum allowed amount, despite promises during the local election to reduce taxes. Derbyshire county council confirmed the rise after predicting a £38m gap in its budget, … Continue reading "Excuses, excuses" |
