Apparently it would.

Maybe all the worrying will be for nothing. One of my elderly British relatives, who is not conservative, said I have Trump phobia.

I remember an American postgrad I was teaching talking with horror about George W. Bush (the president at the time), and he seems positively cuddly compared to Trump. It may all be bluster, but it could be a Handmaid’s Tale prequel and I don’t think I’d want to roll the dice on it.

Anyway, we’re going to end up in a VRBO in Blackburn, Lancashire for a month while I look for work

You are only about an hour away, so if you get in a pickle let me know.

It’s well located for Manchester, Liverpool (a current hotbed of the creative industries) and Leeds. You’ll find the cost of living is cheaper and the people friendlier Up North. Good luck. 🤞

The earlier capture (the one I did) still works. I’ve added the link to the original post.

The Internet Archive has two captures - the earlier one is the one I grabbed and still works.

Snow balls.

Works for me. Here it is on the Internet Archive.

To be fair, I’ve done that to myself with a diet if Jerusalem artichokes and crap pop.

I think I’m now obliged to disagree with you and my own previous stance. 🤪

A government spokesperson said: “This story is categorically untrue. The government is working with Natural England to review options on species reintroduction, including beavers.”

It feels like there is an internal power play happening or it’s a misunderstanding. I wouldn’t be surprised if legacy Tory policies are put on temporary hold while they are reviewed just to ensure the last government hasn’t slipped in measures designed to wreck Labour.

I’d give it a few weeks to see what shakes out.

“Please introduce me to Marxism (and Marxist Lemmy)”, but get this, from this URL: https://startrek.website/post/18021528.

That’s the thing about how “federation” works -> it’s their content, but unless a place is specifically added to a defederation list by name, it’s also our content as well - in this case, Star.Trek.Website’s content.

Indeed, but: a) defederating the Three Big Bads would have stopped that coming through and b) that wouldn’t appear in “Local” or “Subscribed” even if it is technically on your home instance.

What if your “guest” wants to leave early because they don’t take well to the wall of crucifixes, the room of animal heads, the whole house in a barn feel or the fact that the neighbours are too far away to hear the screaming? Can’t have them running off into the night missing skin now can we?

In order to avoid this, what would you think of having a “new joiners” instance, where

• hexbear, lemmygrad and ml would be defederated
• politics and news communities would be blocked at the instance level

I could see the first point being almost the default for topic-specific instances (along with not allowing NSFW material). Who wants to join a D&D, MTG, Star Wars, instance only to run headfirst into a Stalinist troll? With the caveat that I don’t see them that much unless Russia gets a mention in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

I am unsure if the latter is needed - give people the option to subscribe or block politics, shitposts and memes. Perhaps start with the default to “Local” and have an introduction thread about it. However, I may be a statistical outlier as I default to “Local” and rarely use “All” and so don’t run into things I am not signed up for.

You are too busy shoving them out of the fire escape.

Yeah, the review doesn’t rate the werewolves highly:

The science-y bits are insultingly ill conceived, but that’s not really the point here; it’s all about those moments of transformation, the money shots common to all werewolf films, coups de cinema overseen by make-up and prosthetic designers and various effects (both special and visual) teams. Here the actual transitions are quite nifty, featuring lots of bulging veins and grisly-looking in-between stages as people turn into different kinds of snarling mammalian creatures. However, once they are done transforming, the masks or make-up or whatever the actors are clad in are so ineffectual they end up looking like a bunch of underlit extras in Halloween costumes recreating The Purge while howling.

I think you may have sold me on it!

The trailer bills it as “Jackie Chan’s last action comedy”, let’s hope they just mean “latest” as he should go out on a high.

WTF, indeed.

Penis, Indeed.
