Meh as Biden is, my trans ass very much needs Trump to stay the hell out with how much foaming transphobia is becoming one of GOP's loudest modi operandi. What is happening in the red states is utterly terrifying and being in blue New Jersey shields me from much of it but that would mean feck all if Trump gets back in.

First time for everything.

It has been axed because of a leftist conspiracy by the whole country to not watch that shite.

No fucking shot. Oh Well by Fleetwood Nobody would piss him off a lot more!

Everyone vote for Let's Dance and Eloise in the next round!

Mary Tyler Moore died on this day 7 years ago, aged 80. - Moore began her career as the elf mascot for Hotpoint in the 1950s, starring in 39 commercials: - Moore auditioned to play Danny Thomas' daughter in The Danny Thomas Show, but was turned down by him because her nose was too small. However, Thomas personally recommended her to Carl Reiner, and she got cast as Laura Petrie in The Dick Van Dyke Show. - In 1969, Moore and her husband Grant Tinker founded MTM Productions to produce The Mary Tyler Moore Show- their logo was notably a parody of MGM's, featuring a cat named Mimsie (who was not owned by Moore): - In later years, Moore would make guest appearances in shows such as Ellen, That '70s Show, and Hot in Cleveland. - Moore would be diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was 32- which led to multiple health problems after several decades. By 2014, she was reportedly "nearly blind" due to complications from it. - Moore debuted on the DeathList in 2016, and was the first hit of the 2017 list.

Just on the heels of this Nadine Dorries TalkTV show has been axed!

Lance Larson, US swimmer who won the 100m freestyle in Rome 1960, but was controversially awarded the silver instead (John Devitt, d. August 2023, being given the gold) has died aged 83. (At least there's no doubt about the finishing order this time).

Biden's a total moderate though. He's a law-and-order style democrat. It's one of the reasons he won the primary in 2020.

I never understood that song.

Oh, computer issues... Yeah I finally got my computer back after 2 months of it getting fixed. As an American who is not in the demographic of extremely wealthy white guy, things are actually financially better for me personally under Obama's ACA and Biden's student loan reform. States that are taking away the right to choose abortion are seeing an increase of 65,000 pregnancies by rape, and a boom in syphilis cases. Birth control is free under the ACA; the Republican justices mentioned in Dobbs that they are looking to ban birth control. Voting will be an easy choice for me. The Republican platform is mostly ass.

Baffled by this response to what I believed was a measured objective view of the great USA. At no point do I seek to blame Trump for America’s current issues (except perhaps the whole abortion thing - either it is a state responsibility or it isn’t and the Republicans having successfully returned that matter to the states still seem to want to have federal control of it). I despair as probably many do that this is the choice. Both Trump and Biden have a track record on which they can be judged and neither seems to be a great option. But it is for those citizens of that country to decide. Can you live with that decision on voting day? I don’t envy you guys.

Yeah this is one of the TFGs folk (too far gone)

Brand new Corpse

Happy Burns' Night/nicht!

Think you’re getting confused with the Wurzels. oo ar oo ar.

Melanie, forever linked with the song 'Brand New Key', has died. She was 76. https://variety.com/2024/music/obituaries-people-news/melanie-dead-brand-new-key-singer-woodstock-1235886892/

If you want my tuppence, and why should you? Trump is a coward who failed to do service for his country in Vietnam. He perceives himself as the big bully, but on an international footing he is quite happy to hang off the arm of bigger more experienced political bullies. And give in to them. Domestically folk think he’s a successful businessman, when nearly all his businesses have failed. You can’t simply declare America bankrupt and start again like his uni or casino or literally everything else. His last term floated on Obama’s recovery plans. I see nothing from his lips as to how America reduces its debt and readies that country for a future. Because the voters’ children and grandkids will be dancing on a burning ball of fire. Those that remain above water. That’s before you get to his king or even god delusion and his sexual assault and other things. Neither contender is really fit to continue a presidency. So unless there is something major changing in their candidacies, I fear USA will no longer be the beacon of hope some of us grew up with. Bon chance ordinary folks.

Tracheostomy done on Fittipaldi but he's out of ICU.

Brazilian butt lift?

They're waiting on Kate Beckinsale's next instagram post. But I also expect a Telegraph obit eventually.

I think it's pretty clear from the article that it's Roy. [Kate] "left his bedside to present an award at the glamorous showbiz ceremony in Beverly Hills before skipping the parties afterwards to head back to him and her family at the hospital."
