Where's my cow?

Is that my cow?

No it isn't, but it still tramples my bloody lavender.
goldeneye was pretty fun as a traditional format bond film and casino royale teased at a darker reboot and then wimped out entirely in the later films

majority of the older films are poo poo

Venty rant incoming.

This sounds like a kids these days post but isn’t.

There was a problem with kids being raised by tablet/phone before the whole pandemic but now it's more widespread and a lot of kids sadly spent a bunch of the last year and a half being raised by a marketing algorithm run for capital and curated by fascists

My younger lad is in year 7 and in his words "some kids talk exactly like youtube videos and streamers do". Device addiction/compulsion is a really massive problem among kids but a larger problem is that adults are equally addicted and manipulated in the same way. Government and media are controlled by the same folk making profit off the algorithm, so it's just going to get worse as the general rate of collapse increases like everything else seems to

Rewilding can be pretty loving easy- just simply sit and watch and leave it alone and land just gets eaten up by whatever else is growing nearby/what seeds get shat out by things and after a few years it's properly wild again and the birds and bugs and beasts will start to exert their dominium

That's what happened with the old farmland I work- it got covered over with poplar/oak/blackthorn/bramble because that's a large chunk of whats around- I plant in other species of stuff to diversify things and clear out areas/chop back tree at the right times of year so that meadow and hedgerow exist, otherwise it would just be entirely thick woodland/bramble within a few years and that would be fine but I like a bit of variety as do the things that live there

amess once ran and hid in a hairdressers and got the owner to lock the doors to keep away the investigating prowess of the evening echo

his voting record is a loving notable stain even on these soiled commons and he let down the massively deprived sections of his ward, knowing the elderly/boomer population would elect him regardless because the enclaves they live in seem to maintain council services not found a few streets over by the polski skleps and phone card shops

his son, a total prick I went to school with, snuck up behind someone in a nightclub and smacked them in the head with a filled bottle of champagne- went down for attempted murder only after the CCTV emerged and his claims of feeling threatened were evidenced as bollocks

i won't grieve that man for a moment but I sure as gently caress will rue the backlash impending- the memory of jo cox was lobotomized from the public mind asap because of the politics of her attacker and her own- amess's politics and attacker guarantee years of this being used by the fash

I would bet the remaining tenner in my wallet that the firm providing the facial recognition system has at least one director in common with the firm providing the school meals

It's been something pushed since at least back when teddy taylor was mp- something along the very logical lines of "if southend were a city then it would fix things and be better because then we would be a city and things would be better and also fixed"

frankly it's an insult to those who have laboured so hard to secure southends legacy as an archetypal run down and neglected lovely seaside town

one weird trick to save the environment has been a repeated tactic since at least the mid 90s and absolutely none of the dahir insaat style wonder machines have panned out whatsoever bar the folk making a lot of venture capital money and then loving off and all that while the situation has steadily been getting worse

the solutions to climate change are in mitigation/prevention of the worst of it and adaptation to a new situation. There are excellent, proven methods for both and none of them are compatible with endless profit growth under capitalism so they won't happen under a capitalist system just as they haven't happened in the last three decades of poo poo steadily getting worse.

we are now watching the collapse of the first global civilisation from the inside- if historical collapses are anything to go by then it's probably going to be a long, drawn out and utterly miserable affair so I suggest you go out and look at some trees/enjoy a book/listen to a good album etc because the world still has some real beauty in it- if it didn't it wouldn't be such a shame it was all getting so hosed up.
