Headline from yesterdays Guardian, and they are not wrong. It's the same with MDMA. Times have changed since l was younger and with a quick phone call whatever you want will be dropped off in minutes (I've heard).

peanuts - linus and the great pumpkin
As it's National Pumpkin Day in the USA, here's the first Peanuts cartoon that mention The Great Pumpkin, on this day in 1959. Followed by the next few days strips. I loved these books when l was younger.
jd vance tells the truth for a change
Well this is a pleasant change. JD Vance telling the truth. Mind you, he has said in the past that he thinks Donald Trump did commit sex crimes and is a fascist so l guess this isn't the first time the truth has come out.

Donald Trump. A sex predator, child and woman rapist. Who'd have thought so? He should be in prison (along with others).
The full report is here.
One example.

me after watching manchester united yesterday, and henry winter nails it
Another crappy performance which wasn't really unexpected. Much as l admire Michael Carrick, I'd imagine Eddie Howe is putting petrol in his car ready for a journey to Manchester.

never forget who the tories are
With the rise of Reform, it's easy to forget how nasty the Tory party were. As with Reform, trying to benefit the rich and their mates, just slightly less right wing and racist. It's always the poor in our society that bears the brunt of their policies.

watching a deep purple documentary - with george best
Another thing about the Deep Purple documentary. I didn't realise George Best was a fan back in the day and there was footage of him at a concert (looking pretty cool) and an interview with him about the band and his love for them (looking not as cool). Childhood heroes all of them.
Here's George watching them.
And here's George being interviewed about them.
watching a deep purple documentary
I've just been watching a Deep Purple documentary and foolishly thought about going to see them in Newcastle with a VIP package to meet them as well. Cost? £305.25, and that's without meeting Ian Gillan, who (let's face it )is the person most fans would want to meet at these shows. I soon changed my mind and will be staying at home instead, washing my hair.

how did someone manage to get a picture of my living room today?
I obviously won't be watching the Liverpool game. I'll probably be cursing watching Manchester United on the dodgy stick.

nationwide cutting jobs
Well this is bad news if you are being let go and have a family to support. I'm sure the losses will be across all the workers, at whatever level.
And in completely unrelated news....

mrs melinda trump - usa's new peace deal co-ordinator between ukraine and russia
The state of the world today. If Mrs Trump sorting out Ukraine / Russian peace deals, l'm a tomato. She may well be offering 'deals' involving money being exchanged, but this would have nothing to do with peace talks. Also, no mention of Pope Leo who was coincidentally brokering ceasefire talks and the return of hostages just prior to this (and ongoing). I really don't care - do u?

art spiegelman - 'too lazy' to redo the 'in the shadow of no towers' book
I doff my cap regarding Art Spiegelman, as he is a comic genius, and the Maus graphic novels are possibly the greatest of all time. However, admitting on the re-release of his 'In the Shadow of No Towers' book that he didn't redo the cover (that was done in collaboration with his wife, Francoise Mouly) and used AI as he was 'too lazy' is sacrilege. I think l will stick to my (oversized) original then, as l'm too lazy to go hunting for the new copy if he can't be bothered doing the work. After all, it's only the cover and size of the book that's changed, so if he's not doing the cover, what's the point of me purchasing another copy of it.? Grrrrrrrrr. He's still a genius though, so go and buy his work (especially Maus)
