I’m not sure what ‘team’ you think I’m on.

I agree that a one-sided genocidal war seems to be going on right now and I’m against it.

What’s your solution?

No, but in 2020 I didn’t vote for Trump.

Ok. I guess you maybe voted Biden? Did he explicitly stand on not supporting Israel?

Why did I get a genocide?

You got a genocide?

In the short term, genocide is happening because Hamas pissed Israel off one time too many and one time too much. In the long term, the genocide is happening because of historical and deep-rooted emnity between Israel and its neighbouring Arab states. It sucks. There are extremist arseholes on both sides who profit from continued conflict and violence against ‘the other’.

Regardless, America doesn’t have absolute fiat in the region. Who you vote for makes little difference to what Netanyahu and Haniyeh will choose to do. But Trump is no less an ally of Israel than Biden is.

You really think Felonious Trump would be any less of an ally to Israel?

So we’re not talking about the fact that as well as 63 leaves this clover appears to have also grown tiny postit notes?

Mmm, they’ve been working on looking like fannies for a while.

I haven’t bought a Brewdog beer for at least a couple of years now since I don’t want to support a company that seems to be run by arseholes. It’s a shame because their Nanny State, in particular, was the first low/no alcohol beer that tasted of something rather than just sweet, bland, lager. But Drop Bear has totally replaced Nanny State as my low-alcohol beer of choice (please don’t tell me they’re arseholes too!).

Bozo the clown?

Nothing a generous sprinkling of caltrops wouldn’t sort out.

“Sunlight is, of course, the most important raw material we have today in the world. It’s a question of whether we should privatize the normal sunlight supply for the population. And there are two different opinions on the matter. The one opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGOs, who bang on about declaring sunlight a public right. That means that as a human being you should have a right to sunlight. That’s an extreme solution. The other view says that sunlight is stuff like any other stuff, and like any other stuff it should have a market value. Personally, I believe it’s better to give stuff a value so that we’re all aware it has its price, and then that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this sunlight, and there are many different possibilities there.” - that Nestle CEO, probably.

There should absolutely be an enquiry over the contracts awarded for PPE during the pandemic. It seems to me that some companies with no history of, or experience in, supplying medical gear won multi-million-pound contracts. I’d like to know the basis on which those contracts were awarded.

“Hey everyone, Elon’s renamed Twitter to X. We should have a one-letter name, it would be so cool. Like, the kids would love it. Elon’s a visionary. We should definitely, definitely, definitely do what Elon’s done. When has he ever made a mistake in business? Exactly, never! Maybe I could have a bonus worth billions! So cool!”

Nice, a positive news story. Go Diesel, go!

Ah, Da Management! Had a quick look for a clip of my favourite gag of theirs but couldn’t find it. It went something like this:

“Ron, they’re babbling.”
“I don’t like babbling.”
“I don’t like babbling either.”
“To be fair, I don’t like any hanging gardens.”

Do you know, to this day I still don’t know which is Hale and which is Pace.

In today’s money? About 17p, or 21 US cents. Shocking, really. I’ve got a club because at that price, why wouldn’t you?
