In the news

There's a decent sized Jewish contingent on most of them (I have been with them on two).

Good to hear.

I love mini_com's placard. :)

This fucking hit piece. Someone at the BBC does not like Huw

Presenter Huw Edwards has resigned from the BBC on "medical advice",
the corporation has said.

The broadcaster has been off air since last July following newspaper
reports claiming he paid a young person for sexually explicit images.

Was thinking the same thing. Really clever kid using the flames in a Hanukkiah (TIL) / menorah for the slogan.

Dad’s placard is also nice, ‘No bombs only friends’ is a nice message.

menorah

Hanukkiah, pls (placards were made near the end of last year).

And I am no artist, it is true. I was purely on logistics/waterproofing.

That sounded deliberately pass-agg, it wasn't meant to be, sorry. The Hanukkiah is a type of Menorah. There was a movement last year among some jews during Hanukkah to use an aspect of the shamash/lighting of the candles as a mark of solidarity to Palestinians.

I can't look past the quality of the handles

pass-agg

It’s all good. I didn’t know, thanks for sharing. 👍

I bought a copy of Martial Solal Locomotion in there when they used to do 3 records for a tenner. Bargain! If you were a regular they would sometimes let you upstairs for the secret stock. Such a good record shop

The Hanukkiah is a type of Menorah

In some communities. It isn't a term used by Chabad for example.

Got it.

A historic heat wave is on the way to Eastern Mediterranen:Hundreds of records will fall Today 41C in Libya ,next days we can expect the first 40C in April in TURKEY history

They had 48C in Mali a few weeks ago, sizzling

I’m trying to imagine what secret stock a record shop could have. Care to elaborate?

Yet people say global warming is a myth. Don't know what more proof is needed.

People will be sat indoors with their AC pumping, whilst its 50 degrees outside in the sun in the UK in October and they still will just say "it's weather, it's hot in the summer!"

Crucially the term is climate change, because there are also unseasonal cold patches too. When people refer to global warming idiots in some instances can point out the median temperatures haven’t changed, completely failing to understand how much climate change and unpredictability is fucking things up.

median temperatures haven’t changed

Is there any truth in that?

People can cite places where median temps haven’t changed. It’s the kind of specious bullshit deployed by people who don’t even understand the terms they are using. My sister was at a friends for lunch and another guest made this claim, she didn’t want to engage or argue as the guy is known for being a bit of an argumentative edgelord in their social circle (and a racist Reform proponent).

Sunak to put UK Defence spending on War Footing
Will we be planting potatoes in Hyde Park just like WW2?

Maybe he thinks his only hope is to actually start a war?

Worked for Thatcher with the Falklands/Malvinas.

Who should we invade now?

While NASA heat maps from the last 10 years shows different.

Wonder what will happen if/when the gulf stream fails.
