For the ravers ... my mate's set of 4/6 cards from Tribal Gathering 1997.
The line-up of musicians, DJs and creators is incredible.
Missing are the cards with Kraftwerk and Dreadzone on - they clashed, I chose Kraftwerk. The Detroit tent closed for the duration of their gig.

The way my cat looks at me, versus the look she was giving the lovely catsitters all weekend.
She was being served freshly-cooked chicken and bottled water (instead of her regular filtered). Alongside her regular pouches.

For the bootlickers who think Helen Whately works late at Westminster 3-4 nights a week.
1. Late nights are rare.
2. She wouldn't stay late were there no vote.
3. She's voted ~134 times since JULY 2024.
4. Probability: <20 of these went past 10pm.
Why have you been claiming £25k-39k a year for a London flat?
The commute from your owned property is easy.
You could stay at a Premier Inn on odd nights when you can't get back. You don't need a fecking 3k a month London flat.
Parasite.

Many if not most of the children on DLA will go onto PIP.
Around half of children who get DLA become NEETs.
There’s a clear path from child DLA to PIP to a lifetime on benefits.
We must change this.

The Nancy & Lee duet, “Some Velvet Morning,” is widely regarded as one of the greatest duets of all time. In fact, it topped London’s Daily Telegraph’s 2003 list of the 50 Greatest Duets Ever. The song is anything but conventional, featuring dramatic shifts in time signature from 4/4 to 3/4 that add to its distinctive, dreamlike quality.
Lee originally wanted to record the two parts separately and splice them together, but the band, which included Don Randi, Carol Kaye, and Hal Blaine, insisted they could handle the tricky changes. What you hear on record was recorded in one take!
In this clip, my buddy Don Randi talks about the recording of this iconic song.

Ive spoken to countless women who've been raped. ONE reported it to police, it didn't reach court.
It's rare that victims report rape by someone they know because they think they won't be believed. When they find out it's happened to others they are more likely to cone forward
Just to dispel a myth doing the rounds:
1) None of the 4 accusers in the 'Russell Brand: In Plain Sight' documentary went to police prior to being contacted by journalists.
2) None of the 6 accusers in the current trial went to police prior to the release of the documentary.

It’s reported today that Sally Rooney, who many believe is one of the best authors of her generation, has been advised that because she has expressed support for Palestine Action she could be arrested if she comes to the UK. Because she is donating some of the money from the sale of her books to Palestine Action her publishers have been advised that they too could be prosecuted if they sell her books in any form and so they have removed them from the bookshelves and other outlets. I do not want anyone in the UK to miss out on her wonderful writing and so I thought I would read the first paragraphs of her terrific book “Normal People.” I hope others will read further sections of the book so that people do not lose out on the joy of reading h her works.

Meanwhile on Mumsnet. Someone has been asked for her pronouns for a conference and is terrified she might have a badge with pronouns on.

Kim Hunter starred in 2 of my favourite films: A Matter of Life and Death (shown here) and A Streetcar Named Desire (with Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh).
I didn't know this about her.
@DefectingGrey did you?
The blacklisting of actors such as Susan Sarandon for their support of Palestine has its precedents in the McCarthyite ‘Red Scare’ lists of the 1950s which targeted actors, directors and writers in Hollywood for their alleged Communist sympathies and, it would appear, for having any political conscience at all.
One such actress was Kim Hunter. On Saturday she appeared on BBC2 in the film A Matter of Life and Death. The film was made by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger in 1946 and is surely one of the most enchanting films ever made around the circumstances of the Second World War. Hunter went on to further success, winning the 1951 Oscar for best Supporting Actress in A Streetcar Named Desire alongside Marlon Brando and Vivienne Leigh.
But that same year saw her being placed on the McCarthyite/House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) blacklist for her alleged sympathy with communist tendencies. Hunter had signed civil-rights and anti-segregation petitions and part-sponsored the 1949 World Peace Symposium held in New York. From winning the Oscar, Hunter was banned in Hollywood and was also blacklisted by the main TV companies: CBS, ABC and NBC. For the next five years - five years that ‘disrupted her career at its absolute peak’ - Hunter survived by undertaking theatre work in New York.
Kim Hunter did eventually return to making films, most famously as the ape Dr. Zira in the landmark Sci-fi film Planet of the Apes (1968). She also established a successful career in television but those lost five years came at a heavy price - as they did for all those who were placed on the HUSC blacklist.
