All this legal talk... anyone else secretly wishing for a good olfashioned insurrection to spice things up a bit?

I’ll celebrate that. It’s harder to come by than many would think.

This is ace.

I got doused with piss a few years back at an Arctic Monkeys gig.... and watching Hammond do pretty much anything is like being doused in piss.

They deserve one another

Not always true - especially when his kids are involved. Remember how little we knew about Bannon and Cambridge Analytica etc before his election?

It’s ominous is what it is.

Patch’s eye makeup is awesome!

Someone ended up buying that bottle of wine!

Straight from the Devil’s cellar

Well at least you’d never get torpedoed.

Edit cos @Greenbank was swifter than I.

Brilliant.

The US doesn't need a new party to the right of the Republicans, it needs a new party to the left of the Democracts...

Agree.

Eeeeeeeeeego

Fuck everything I said about lunatic fringes.

They are deep deep lunatics too to bottom.

Jesus fucking Christ. How are we not bearing pitch forks at this stage?

I'm guessing that's sarcasm - but isn't the Conservative Party's desire to corral the fringe concerns of Ukip what led to the disaster of Brexit? And conversely - couldn't we argue that centrist bet hedging by the opposition led to a lack of argument against it? It's that panic within the two main parties about accommodating the minority ideologies which leads to irrational outcomes?

My point is that there should be space for reasoned detachment from things like Q in the Republican Party - but they fear losing their base. If US politics was multi party the bigger parties wouldn't have to stay silent in opposition of lunatic minorities.

I don't think that actually makes any difference. Only if his own party gains scary majority numbers (which of course it could). But I generally prefer political landscapes where the lunatic fringe have somewhere to congregate and don't create a tractor beam for generically selfish but otherwise not murderous voters. I don't know why - but I prefer my despot's influence to be less than 50% of a superpower.

They really are wild animals when they want to be aren’t they!

Weirdest boner.

I think Trump / Trump Party would be way more weighty than a Perot? Significant shifts in the political landscape could happen in theory.

Like more than just a one election fly in the ointment I mean.

Reflecting on today’s news that Trump is whispering the idea that he could start a new political party. I think this could be a good thing. I mean he’d do it as a revenge bomb against more moderate republicans and it would be terrifying if it gained real momentum. But it would probably lead to a broader political landscape than the polarised one we see now and could spark dem splinters too. Imagine if the whole thing was ideologically more open and splintered. That could be good couldn’t it?

Prove me naive...

I wonder how true this is. I know plenty of people who enjoy drugs who wouldn't even consider endangering people by going to an eyeball licking piss up at the moment.

It’s lovely out there! My “sorry I’m running near you” / Covid snood usually only gets deployed as I approach walkers etc but I admit I just slowed my pace and kept it on today.

I’m loving getting little blocks of 7 - 10 km done two or three times a week at the moment. It feels great to be pounding the pavement again (albeit slowly).... But. I can’t settle on a form. I think I naturally go mid to heel, but forefoot feels less jarring sometimes. I have hip, adductor and an inside knee thing - which I’m sure are all part of the same band issue and being 44. I’ve done a bit of physiotherapist stuff and am getting great relief from the YouTube runners mobility exercises someone posted up thread.. it feels good. But those little pain red flags are there after about three or four miles.

So am I best just reducing effort and distance or is this just something runners live with?

Why aren’t I a fast superhuman? Why!?

I understand your frustration.

It’s how we end up with Q followers sacking the Capitol.

This is the best bit.

Did you even look up who he is? How do you even know he’s a professor? Or in a relevant subject? Or even a real person?

Turns out he is

Wish my own cat realised how lucky she is. She was an abandoned kitten living in the air space under our flat. Stick thin, not neutered and flea ridden...

8 years of adoration later and she still acts like I’ve thrown ice water over her if I so much as move the crank on my bike or get the track pump out.
