Every mistake they could make, they’re running with:
Amazon has spent the better part of a *billion* dollars to explicitly trash Tolkeins creation. How does this make sense to them?

That earlier news story about a Tory MP getting stabbed? One series of details from the original reporting, that he was stabbed multiple times, that he received surgery on the spot, and that he *wasn’t* taken to the hospital, now makes a bit more sense.
Sir David Amess: Conservative MP stabbed to death
That answers that. Now, to the next question: who did it and why. Original reporting only said “a man.” Now there’s this little detail:
A government source told the BBC the man arrested was a British national who, according to initial inquiries, is of Somali heritage.
Huh. I’m sure we’re all shocked, SHOCKED.

And here comes the next King of Englandland to remind us all of how vitally important it is to keep idiots away from the reins of power. Granted, the US is currently saddled with Sniffy Joe, but he will be yeeted from the White House soon enough, either via election, resignation or 25th.
Prince William: Saving Earth should come before space tourism
Speaking about the current space race and the drive to promote space tourism, William said: “We need some of the world’s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live. … I think that ultimately is what sold it for me – that really is quite crucial to be focusing on this [planet] rather than giving up and heading out into space to try and think of solutions for the future.”
Brits, you voted for this goober’s administration. Time to vote him and his ilk out.
Someone needs to remake this commercial with Washington blasting off in a Starship. Or an Orion (the *real* Orion, not that silly capsule).

Norway attack: What we know about bow and arrow killings
A Danish convert to A Certain Religion Of Peace killed five seemingly random people with a bow and arrows in Kongsberg, Norway. Police managed to arrest him without him blowing himself up with his bow.
I suppose the Norwegians will now go and make bows and arrows illegal.
And from Britain:
Claudia Webbe: MP guilty of threatening and harassing woman
A Minister of Parliament has been found guilty of threatening an acid attack on another woman. It might be noted that “acid attacks” are something that were essentially unknown in Britain a generation and more before, but now, for some reason, are reasonably common. Why did Webbe think this was a good idea? No man can say.
Ramadan Mubarak
To all celebrating in Leicester and around the world, I wish you a peaceful and blessed #Ramadan

The benevolence which is at the heart of the Islamic religion will be further demonstrated in this holy month

You might have noticed that the price of my SR-71 book on Amazon is highly variable. It was originally something like $13 direct from Amazon; it’s now something like $27 from secondary sellers on Amazon. This is due to Amazons supply having sold out. I’ve been informed that another shipment has been sent to Amazons supplier, so the direct Amazon price should return to normal in three weeks or so. Just in time for Christmas, so when that price returns to normal don’t waste a second and promptly order a few hundred copies.
It remains available direct from the publisher for £8.99 which is about the price it should be on Amazon… but shipping from Britain to the US is kinda steep.

An ad for a British insurance company, with following commentary by someone rather unimpressed:
The ad tries to be woke, but it ends up making Trans Kids look like undisciplined, ill-behaved sociopaths. Who is this ad aimed at? And what insurance company would pay for damage caused by a child whose parent(s) refuse to discipline him?

Navy nuclear engineer charged with trying to pass secrets
Fortunately the “foreign contact” he was trying to sell the US out to was an FBI agent. Maybe he can get a cell next to Eric Swalwell.
