I don't have a problem with boring. Major was boring. He didn't crash the economy and everything was pretty much OK.

Actually, I did, at the time, enjoy his managing to hold a government in power with a majority of 5 (and IIRC, that shrank a bit too). And even better that he somehow seemed to leverage the wafer-thin majority in getting the Northern Ireland Accord signed. I didn't find that boring.

But anyway, I don't have any problem with boring, if the example of not-boring is someone like Boris Spaffer Ipsum Locum Fuckitupum Johnson.

Jeez! I'd love "boring"

Not sure if this creative use of Starmer's hair is deliberate or not...

Haha. Even if it's not deliberate (it seems that when someone shares a Graun article via Bluesky, the photo is just the top bit of the actual Graun cover photo), it's too good not to share.

Oh my. Maybe Trump will take notice now that Walmart is part of the war zone.

Took a long break from treading the boards between 2010 and 2022.

I've been trying to work out what offends me about the font for 'Brewdog' in this photo... it's not the kerning, but the width of the W, compared with all the other narrow letters. They deserved to fail for that reason, IMHO. @Ian H - over to you.

It's a complete (brew)dog's dinner, and not even consistent.
