Brevenance

You love to hear it

Are there reasons drone feeds are unencrypted? Would encryption add unacceptable cost/battery drain/latency?

One change that could be good would be having two members per electorate rather than one; that would allow voters who were not in the majority to feel represented. Though that would work better in a system with more than two parties, so that you don’t have a stalemate with an equal number of centre-left and centre-right MPs.

JG Ballard was right

Utter clownshow.

Not much of a secret then, is it?

What about a Godzilla attack?

New York has bodega cats, but Tasmania has this

It’s more likely that this will result in his expulsion from the Labour Party than in any shift in policy.

Presumably the wind is more likely to blow eastward in Paris, resulting in polluting industries (and working-class accommodation) being placed to the east, while the well-off had the west, and the pattern has replicated itself, outliving deindustrialisation. (There is a similar distribution of wealth in London, which is not far away as far as meteorology goes.)

Deservedly so.

I wonder how the Naarm ones will do next year.

They could always bring back the Life Be In It campaign, telling people to get off the couch and do a sport of some sort.

It’s tempting to wish that the Iranians succeeded in assassinating him, though we know that if they did, he’d be instantly beatified into a global centrist Charlie Kirk: a statesman of peace and liberalism ruthlessly murdered by evil terrorist fanatics. There’d be statues of him alongside Mandela and Gandhi, Berlin would rename one of its central squares to Netanjahuplatz, and the next year’s Oscars would be swept by the biopic Bibi. The gaslighting would be incessant.

Apparently they were popular in the Middle Ages

Nope, that’s what’s called in the industry a honeybucket

It’s incredible to believe that the frontman of The Smiths wrote and recorded those songs at the same time as working as the tea boy at Pete Waterman’s pop factory, and some time before his own not-insignificant pop career.

It’s a pity this Morrissey usurper succeeded in writing Rick out of the picture.
