15. Comedy spot
Nah, not having that! These three are much worse:
Did you notice 7.4m views? Now, if they were 14 or 15, then the gross overacting of the third, trying to be a male, would be fine. These though, according to bios I’ve found, vary between late 20s to early 40s, making them Millennials … and their jokes seem to be about Gen Zees’ habits and fashion statements … cf. the things we go on about here.
My next door neighbours are late Millennial and early Gen Zee respectively … we do get on and have a laugh but no politics can ever be mentioned … not that there is disagreement … they just aren’t interested in politics, fair enough. I said that was fine but politics were certainly interested in them. They bought that one.
Now, given that level of political maturity, Starmer wants to give uneducated 16 year olds the vote?
14. Watching the Watchers
Probably need to be serious again, just this once. Here’s another which turns out, possibly, to be a bit iffy this Bank Holiday Monday (unless you’re not in Britland of course):
13. BBQ weather today
… going anywhere near Liverpool?
12. AKH has an important post up
… about Three Pads Rayner. 🤔 Hmmmm, reminds me of something I recall … can’t quite place it:
By the way, I BS you not … the lead in ad to the clip was … yes … selling sheds. Also, there’s a rumour going around that Andy’s off with his bit of skirt playing bowls … but don’t quote me.
11. Burly biker Longrider is a treasure trove
It has been said that there are only 7 basic plots (see Wikipedia for a summary):
Overcoming the Monster
Rags to Riches
The Quest
Voyage and Return
Comedy
Tragedy
Rebirth
Taken together with the Rule of 3 this lays out a limited palette from which journalists can … catch your attention.
Plus:
That sounds a bit like Gell-Mann Amnesia.
