I have some CDs that I find unlistenable for more than a couple of tracks,a wall of overmastered,compressed sound very tiring on the ears. One of the Killers albums springs to mind.

Literally just noticed that they're the last thing I played on the weekend!

Very retro photo.

I mean the heating controller on the wall

It's actually weirder than that – it controlled a fan in the chimney to get it to draw! Since removed to have a stove, chimney liner and wind-powered fan, but the controller was left.

The amount of people who are going to be fired etc after posting their celebrations on social media has already started... & one moron as MSNBC.

I guess someone took Hakeem Jefferies advice the fight to right with "actual weapons" a bit too literally.

That's nothing... any foreigners "rationalizing, or making light of” his death can expect jackboots at dawn from trump's Gestapo.

I probably don't follow all the US news as much as you do of course, but I very much doubt anyone in Congress 'celebrated' the shooting. Happy to be proven wrong..

And I assume from your response that you're against free speech then?

I get why Trump is seeking revenge and pulling out all the stops, but FFS, its everything Charlie boy hated!

It's on video. Mike Johnson called for a moment of silence & two to 3 Democrats started yelling.

Nailed it...

24 hours & X is full of posts about people being fired.

[.....]

So a Trump tin rattler is killed and tRump is mobilising the gestapo
Melissa Hortman and her husband killed......meh!
A political reporter is fired for suggesting that CK views were the reason he was killed, well duh
It does seem that the US is sleep walking into 1984/30s Germany
One of us, blame the foreigners, censor the media, autocratic leader

Going to be an 'interesting' run-up to the 2026 Mid-term elections.

Anyone want to take a bet on whether there'll be a move to suspend/delay/cancel them due to 'safety/security' concerns if the polls don't look favourable?

Hmm... what you're saying didn't happen in any shape or form though, did it?

From what I've now read and seen, a minute's silence started and then far-right loudmouth Lauren Boebert started shouting about demanding spoken prayers instead because silent prayers don't work. There was then various murmuring and argument as various Dems pointed out that none of this silence/praying stuff ever happened when Dems got murdered or there were school shootings (inc one that morning), at which point some Republican started screaming that 'YOU ALL FUCKING CAUSED THIS!'

So, to be incredibly generous, I'd say there was some disruption that was 50/50 both sides. A more objective view might be that Boebert caused it all.

But whatever your take, to insinuate that 'Democrats celebrated the shooting' by answering back to Boebert is disingenuous to a pretty outrageous level. It just didn't happen.

I'd say that's 90% likely.

How's about this for a conspiracy theory, so beloved of CK.
Picture this, DT sat in the White House wondering how to deflect the Epstein fallout now Mandy has been sacked. The shit is about to hit the fan as, for once, the UK has drawn a line in the sand and it appears DT is on the other side of it.
What we need is a distraction, something to polarise the nation and take the glare off the Epstein list!
RIP CK

It as also pushed Putin down the list a bit.....

It worked for Maggie. Sorting out the Argies boosted her popularity no end.

... in response to Galtieri kicking it all off to distract from what was happening under his regime in Argentina...
