the white house shooter and the media
This. Most of the sycophantic media are too busy brown nosing to Trump and trying to maintain their press access rather than hold the child rapist and his cronies to account and back up colleagues that do ask pertinent questions or who are verbally abused or mocked by Trump, which just enables him more. Meanwhile the men who shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti are still being funded by taxpayers and are still at large. The president has bathed himself in violence and hatred and this is part of the consequences. Journalists - DO YOUR FUCKING JOBS!!!!
Meanwhile, in unrelated news....

the new talking heads video looks a bit crap - plus maga fashion
Speaker Mike Johnson trying to replicate Talking Head's 'Once in a Lifetime' video.
This was the earlier fashion wear. Wonder what these idiots will come up with next.
the 1970 pop proms line up
A lot of these acts wouldn't be classed as 'pop' in any way shape or form these days. However, I know what nights l'd have liked to have gone to. Tuesday, followed by Friday. Wheat amongst some chaff.

Some words of advice in the last sentence that l've pretty much lived my life by.

tha waterboys keep taking my money - 'atlantic rain' - more fisherman's blues outtakes
The Waterboys 'Fisherman's Blues' era. What a time to be alive-o, and what a great band they were at that time, possibly the best band in the world to my raddled old ears. Anyhoos, they are just about to release a 3LP set of outtakes from those sessions, plus an extra EP of outtakes, which of course l have just pre ordered. This is to go alongside the items l already have such as the original album, The Fisherman's Blues boxset, plus 'The Magnificent Seven' boxset (plus many bootlegs). When will this madness end? However, the (looks like) AI cover art is crap.
Here's part of what l already have. Another 12 CDs of sessions.

jack savoretti - day we caught the train
I know he's popular with 'the youth' but l don't really know anything about Jack Savoretti apart from (after seeing him on TFI Friday) he's a good looking man with a voice like Joe Cocker's, which let's face it, l'm jealous of.

tucker carlson - the rat leaving a sinking ship
Tucker can fuck right off. He's not a stupid man and did what he did for fame and money, and now as it hopefully starts to fall apart, he wants to distance himself from his Trump backing, which l bet he wouldn't be doing if he thought Trump was going to continue for the next few years in a strong position. CJ Sturgis sums it up below.

in today's least surprising news......insider trading by trump
Even my parrot figured that out and he's been buried in the garden for a while.

if a picture speaks a thousand words....
I love the look of disbelief, frustration and possibly anger on AOC's face here while interacting with RFK Jr. The only sensible reaction to the dangerous madman.

The paintings of Desmond (Doc) Morris RIP
As a follow on to the last entry about the sad passing of Desmond (Doc) Morris, here are a selection of his paintings. I like them a lot and if l had more money and a larger house l would own some.
More can be found here.

and on another oxford united note - Desmond (Doc) Morris RIP
How l'll remember The Doc, an Oxford United fan and all round decent bloke, who rather sadly died a couple of days ago. Loved 'The Naked Ape' (amongst others) as well as his surrealist paintings.
Info below is from the Oxford United website.
the queen 'sheer heart attack' tour and oxford united
If only l had been more into going to concerts rather than football matches (part 8465456465). Relying on pocket money meant l couldn't go to gigs and football, and looking back, l sometimes made the wrong choice, as l could have gone to Queen's Oxford New Theatre show on this tour with schoolmates, as l was living about 12 miles from Oxford at the time and could have got a lift with their parents. Instead of which (and l looked it up) I went to see Oxford United play at home against Portsmouth and Bristol Rovers on either side of the gig. Damn! Touring to support probably my favourite Queen album, and l also liked the support act, Hustler. I did see Queen a few times after this, but regret having missed out on the early tours.

king of the robins
Talk about excellent timing for a photograph! This is a one in a million shot (I'd imagine). Whatever the odds, it's very well played indeed by Dawn Denise Boyer.

some good books to read
If the state wants to ban them, then they must be worth a read. Time with a good book is never wasted.

the new drunk and drunker film looks a bit crap
Let's face it, they could still call it dumb and dumber.

a difficult wank
My poor old eyes had the misfortune to see this, and now you've suffered as well. The very definition of a difficult wank. Happy dreams tonight.

my house cleaning is taking longer than l expected
I'm trying to sort the house out a bit but l think l may be having a bit of an acid flashback. There's only one solution. Pass the freaking drugs!!!!!

scared of paddington
My friend and his family have just been to that London to see Paddington. I think it's fair to say that one of the children enjoyed meeting him more than the other.

the right wing press are getting worried
I think the right wing press (in this case The Telegraph) are getting worried about the rise of The Green Party. Their rich owners are probably panicking about being held to account and being taxed.

tim curry is 80 - a reminder regarding dress
The rather magnificent Tim Curry is the grand old age of 80 today. I may even give his album a spin later on to celebrate. He's the reminder that women may like men dressed like this...
They find them sexier dressed like this.
