It's been 9 horrible months and I find myself looking back on those "eating the cats and dogs" days with nostalgia.

It’s interesting that the FBI are reporting that the suspect’s roommate shared messages with them that indicated his plans.

I’m a big fan of Laura Richards, a criminal profiler, and she did a recent episode of her podcast with someone who has researched mass shooters extensively. Aside from it being an almost exclusively male violence issue, they talk about other patterns that repeat in these cases, one of which is telling someone about their plans - they want someone to know what they’re doing because they want the notoriety.

It’s worth a listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/crime-analyst/id1545830333?i=1000725470836

A little birdie reports that the Presidential VH-3 Choppers have been delivered to the UK via a USAF C-17A

That's lowered my hopes, too. Now holding on for a last-minute decision not to come.

Especially if he's not in the best health. God help us all if he takes ill here.

Or a weird plea for someone to stop them ?

I'm sure the NHS will afford him the same care that my DH had when he had his 3rd heart attack in 2023.
24hrs in a corridor on a trolley, 24hrs in A&E and 24hrs on a "geriatric" ward (he was 61) before being kicked out with a box of pills and a promise of an outpatients appointment in 6-8 weeks...the outpatients appt was 15 months later.

They pick those who are never going to help them and eschew the efforts of those who want to. It's like alcoholism or drug abuse.

Towards the end of the Conservative party government and your lovely husband's treatment demonstrates how bad things got.

I hope he's now getting the treatment he deserves 💐

Thanks @placemats He's waiting for the results of an MRI in June and then a follow-up. Unfortunately the follow-up appts are about 2 yrs waiting list...
He's OK day to day, but won't go far without me and can't exercise like he used to.

If he does, no doubt it will be Starmer's fault.

Fucking hell, the director of the FBI just said this

Kash Patel: "To my friend Charlie Kirk. Rest now, brother. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla"

I honestly don't think Kirk saw Patel as a brother. Also he's likely a Krishna devotee so Valhalla is going to have to have vegetarian options

Has anyone seen the film “Idiocracy”?

It’s nothing amazing, a comedy made around 20 years ago about a regular man who is frozen and wakes up 500 years in the future where the IQ of humans has dropped so much that he’s now the smartest man in the world.

Honestly it’s starting to feel like a prophecy right now…

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/jul/19/idiocracy-a-disturbingly-prophetic-look-at-the-future-of-america-and-our-era-of-stupidity

You're not kidding, its a bloody guidebook. Unbelievable. It's like a documentary. That and Back to the Future Part 2 featuring Biff, modelled on Donald Trump although you might think it's the other way round.

Serpentstooth · 12/09/2025 16:27

MaryMungoMidgley · 12/09/2025 13:49

Trump has said he hopes that Kirk's killer will receive the death penalty.
Have we reached the point where Nick Abbott gets to tick 'pay per view execution' on his trump bingo card?

Probably. Just need to settle the broadcast rights.

Feeling quite weary with it all.

I can't attend the protest this time due to a prior commitment. But here's a reminder from the last time.

It's going to be very autumnal next week in Windsor.

I'm very interested in the unclear reporting about Charlie Kirk's alleged killer, Tyler Robinson. Based on available information, it's looking like he's probably a different flavour of far right to Kirk? But MAGA will most likely ignore or twist that, if true.

You aren’t alone in feeling weary. The world is exhausting at the moment isn’t it.

DuncinToffee · 12/09/2025 17:52

The alleged Charlie Kirk assassin identified as Tyler Robinson from a white Republican household.

His family are 2nd amendment, blue lives matter, MAGA, and he was taught to shoot since a young age. His father, an ex sheriff, convinced him to turn himself in, qualifying for the FBI $100,000 reward.

Straight from the FBI script. To add probably had gay tendancies as in not many girlfriends.

I have also seen mentions of him being groyper.

Not sure if that is verified by anyone
