If you really want your mind blown, Lord Buckethead and Count Binface both stood for the Uxbridge by-election in 2019 (sadly, Boris Johnson won). Lord Buckethead was the candidate for the Monster Raving Loony Party (yes, this is an actual party in the UK) while Count Binface was an independent.

Yes, that would be Count Binface. (Formerly Lord Buckethead, but there was a dispute over the Buckethead identity)

It is a common part of my lexicon and I had, in fact, used it in a post referencing the publisher of the New York Times' position re: Biden not giving them a sit-down interview not 30 seconds before seeing your post.

Yeah, there's a stretch of highway near us where every third mile is "Officer <name> Memorial Highway" because of the number of cops killed during traffic stops.

"Dissolution peerages" - adding to the ranks of the dissolute? Or just recognizing their status as such?

Up until Covid the leading cause of police deaths every year was car crashes (exacerbated by the fact that cops tend to not wear their seat belts, laws for me and not for thee you know). For 2020 and 2021 at least, Covid was the leading cause of po;ice deaths.

Yup. I've been saying I should cancel my sub for a while now and then not getting around to it, but that article? Fuck. That. Noise. Finally did it. (Dropped the Washington Post years ago for similar reasons, to their credit it was a lot easier than trying to cancel the Times.)

Plus Biden won't give them a sit-down interview and AG Sulzberger is *extremely* butthurt about that.

Finally got off my metaphorical ass and canceled the NYT, which let me tell you their website layout does *not* make easy. I declare my independence from the Sulzbergers and their both-sides-ism. (Seriously, their subscritions page is such a mess it took me three tries to find the cancellation link)

And of course it’s through iHeart, a company not exactly noted for liberal views. (Not that Newsom is actually liberal, but he does a good job of faking it most of the time.)

Could have been worse, at least he didn't add the scenes with Luke and his friends at Tosche Station back in. (They're in the novelization and the comics and... yeah, there's a reason they were cut. The comics flow very differently from the film as they were based on the shooting script.)

This knowledge came in handy when a friend was writing an alt-history novel and asked "would it be possible to make plastic explosives using technology available in the 1860s?" The answer was yes.

(Also, one of the ways bomb squads can tell if TNT was used in a bomb is that it leaves a yellow residue when it explodes.)

Speaking of chemical dyes, trinitrotoluene was originally synthesized as a bright yellow dye, but was found to be explosive 30 years later and became better known as TNT.

Of course George had also alienated the DGA (who, you know, are most of the voters for Best Director) by resigning rather than following the DGA rule that the director had to be listed at the beginning of the film, so he could have his opening crawl.

Fuck cancer. But also, I love this performance, not least because it showed how many guitarists you need to do “Stairway” live (unless of course you’re actually Jimmy Page, breaking your back with a double-necked Gibson)

There was a joke in the liner notes of the Ramones’ greatest hits collection that when they first played CBGB, Hilly Kristal wasn’t sure when they showed up if they were the band or if they were stealing the instruments, and after they played, he still wasn’t sure.
