Imo, orvile was the best star trek series since DS9 and only “strange new worlds” which they only did due to the success of Orvile has surpassed it. I’m genuinely staggered by how well he did with it.

It’s bizzare, you started off by saying “No” in a willful display of poor social skills but then went on to say very little that I’ve disagreed with.

I mean, I didn’t say that each country didn’t have their own lobby, now did I?

The pressure and the money to actually change things and control your country’s entire online media narrative is controlled by a very small number of US companies. They use this power to rig elections and force law like the above through. I understand that wi be difficult reading for some Americans who don’t like that they’re now the colonising Empire but, that doesn’t change that the main problem with sorting our own digital data laws hasn’t been meddling by American business interests.

Have you got anything more than “I don’t like this. So, it isn’t true?”

You can’t get into bed with both the sicilian and Jewish mob and expect to come out clean. For those interested in finding out a little more:

“Operation gladio”

“One nation under blackmail”

Our American neighbours, over the pond, are in for one hell of a ride. At least you have all that coffee ready, for when you make up.

We sure are looking forward to having our friend and ally back.

Yeah but the IDF did show the effect their mass starvation was having on the Israeli hostages. So, I guess we’re even right?

Right?

You say this as if the problem isn’t American corporations and pooled special interests bribing, blackmail and rig elections in every country they can until they get what they want.

But, if people chat privatelywith each other in public spaces, how are we meant to control the conversation and tell people what to think?

No, A.I. generated kompromat-capture is the only possible way people can receive therapy.

Why would the tories oppose thier own bill?

I don’t think you’re fully aware of all the factors here.

“Oh, i see. You want to help paedophiles do you? Why do you hate children then, hey? Of course keef comes out to help the Jimmy Savile brigade again.”

Congratulations, you just lost the media narrative and now all but one paper is going to write about how all the things that hurt every child in the UK is your fault, for the next 3 years. The whole system is compromised and they’re passengers, only a little more engaged than we are.

This makes me feel like they were in a bind here. The so called “online safety bill” was a tory concoction that took years to pass through the courts because of how invasive it is and how anyone could easily bypass it.

If labour want to stop it, they’ll be accused of not wanting to protect children.

Whatever anyone thinks of labour, I’d ask people to ask themselves, if you were in that position, what option do they have other than to let it play out as the spectacular failure it was always going to be and making sure everyone knows who’s fault that was afterwards?

Some say that, whenever someone sings over a guitar that’s been cranked up to 11, the Prince of darkness lives on.

Sorry for the cheese but, also, I don’t care. This one got to me.

I met him after the UK ozzfest, back in 2001. I was only about 15-16. Tool played aswell with peak Maynard and they were out of this world. Sabbeth were brilliant too. They really smashed war pigs and iron man that night. I didn’t know them that well at the time but, they were good enough for me to still remember it for that now.

Anyway, after the show, we were being driven back by one of the parents and we pulled over at a service station. Me and a friend got some food and qued up to pay, both wearing ozzfest t shirts we bought at the show that day. While waiting, suddenly we felt a hand on one of each of our shoulders and this short, long-haired man said, “ehh, thanks for cooming, lads.” We turned around and our jaws just dropped. “Er…erm …th… thank you” and with a big smile on his face he says “take care lads” he turned and went to thank more people for coming. He must have gone round the entire place talking to everyone who even vaguely looked like they might have gone.

For those unfamiliar, a service station here is like a gas station crossed with a very small mall and a dinner or 2. So, it took him a while to get around. He genuinely seemed so thankful to everyone who went.

Not only did they help create their own genre, they provided the echo system it needed to carry and flourish for decades.

I really hope this final chapter of his inspires more young people to make heavy rock bands, in their own style, their own way. Ozzy’s death bringing heavy metal back to life would be so damn metal that I don’t know if I could cope with it tbh lol.

Its just a dance both sides are doing.

China claim the straight and, under maritime law, if that’s accepted then it’s theirs. So, British etc. ships sail through it saying “what a lovely straight of water. I’m going to sail through here, as no one owns it.” If China doesn’t react, they have relinquished their claim to the straight. So, they have to follow up with “hey you, get off my lawn!” Every so often, the dance is repeated.

Nothing to worry about.

I don’t know why but it reminds me of an American friend I had who couldn’t beleive we didn’t have limits on the amount maggots/maggots eggs allowed in fruit juice.

They refused to drink any fruit juice here until it had to be explained to them that the reason that there’s no acceptable limit on maggots/maggots eggs in our fruit juice is because ANY amount of maggot is over the acceptable amount.

Not their fault of course. We only know what we’re used to.
