Today in news which will not shock you:

Survey which claimed evangelical Christianity was on the rise in UK found to have been fraudulently manipulated by Evangelical Christians.
I know. My surprise was unconstrained.

Local pub has started doing alcoholic hot chocolate now. Must be autumn, also may now be slightly drunk.

I feel the word "almost" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
Sorry, typo there, I mean "I *fear* the word "almost" is doing a lot of heavy lifting..."

The explanation I've come up with is they've given him one of those toys which are a button that lights up when pushed, and just told him it is the nuclear button.

A real danger is he does something big and wildly stupid, to either try and regain momentum or to dead-cat the Iran disaster off the news.
There is a real danger now that Trump will do something nuclear level stupid, maybe with actual nukes.
A grown up politician who got themselves this deep into a mess would push back from the table and quit or make their peace with just coasting into electoral oblivion at the next election and not compound things.

Can we add a sliver for "the world has beat me down so much that the only thought processes I have left are bent to summoning dark gods from beyond the dawn of time; in hope they devour humanity and all of reality and thus end my suffering Ia Ia Ia fgh'tan!"?

What the hell happened to this guy? I read all his books up to The God Delusion, and they were all coherent and well argued. Then something seemed to happen to him after he wrote that and now he's basically JK Rowling without the boy wizard.

Oh, I know this one. We always did. Our Age ID check was "had money" and "capable of reaching the top of the bar to grab the pint".
This may just be a local West of Scotland custom though. 🏴

I'll admit that there are at least eight people walking this Earth simply because my distaste for prison exceeded their need to be murder by me. And a couple of them it was a close run thing.

The worst case is that he hasn't destroyed Iran's nuclear program and in their desperation they somehow manage to cobble together an NK level nuke. And they would instantly use it.

My alarm clock radio requires I press the hour advance button on it, just once. Actually I'll have to press it more than that, as I always seem to advance it two hours the first time I press the button.
I'd get rid of it, but it is the only item in my house I can still play my eighties and early nineties era audio cassettes on.

I've created drama and made a whole huge problem. Does that count?
I wish I was allowed to take pictures of some of the farms I visit for work.
Some of them would shock you.
Some of them would awe you.
And one or two would ever so slightly scare you.
One I visited today in the hills above #Girvan fell into the latter category. Ever so slightly sinister it were.
Almost as much a castle as a farm, crenelations and all. Parked in the courtyard, it was more than a bit Brontë, with a slice of #HammerHorror too maybe.

@afrozenpeach@geek.gay I hate the use of AI and even strict checklists in the hiring process. Get me in front of a person and I can sell myself in any role, hell interview me for an applied quantum physicists active advance investigator of stellar observations position and I can can convince anyone I'm good to go. How can I be expected to con a computer with my sales skills? It is a complete different skillset.
If you are ever feeling down about the state of the world in your country, then just fire "Florida Man" into google news search, and feel immensely cheered up that at least your country is not that.
Obviously this doesn't work if you live in #Florida, but you made that choice!
I really do despise #EarlSpencer right now. He's making me agree with #PiersMorgan. There is no point saying he'll correct libellous claims in a second edition, not when the first edition is still selling. Even #PissMorgan has a right to be upset over that and require it removed from sale.

I mean, sure I could go home, cook, and eat healthy. Or the local kebab shop is selling a tray of what it calls "mystery meat" for £2 and I could plonk my tired ass on the sofa and just guzzle that like some sort of farm animal.
I think we all can trust me to make the right choice...

I just learned there is a toyline called "fingerling fairies" and... did nobody run this past the internet first?
Or do I just have a dirty mind?
Remember that incredibly dry supermarket frozen sausage I tried last Sunday? Cooked up some more this week, boiled them and then finished with some risotto rice and a homemade curry blend and some mixed veg.
Two things. Never forget the bayleaf. I don't know what it does, but I can taste when it isn't there. Also, still very dry despite the primary cooking method involving water. Really needs a source of fat too.
Still have some left, will try a long casseroling in a butter blend next time.

I'm sure there is someone, somewhere, in a coma since 1998 whose dreaming self is still in that year, who is okay.
