krasnov threatens to sue bbc for over a billion over the edited J6 bund rally

I posted yesterday about BBC bending the knee to krasnov. Apparently, they did not bend enough. Per a Guardian article from earlier today.

I have very sad news to report. The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest* is no more.

After a mere 42 years, Prof. Scott Rice has the NERVE, the AUDACITY, to. . .to. . . gasp. . .retire! As if being merely a year older than Joe Biden is a legitimate excuse, the layabout!

The only consolation is that the contest winners have been archived.

*For those unfamiliar with the BLFC, it was a contest to write the worst possible opening sentence of an imaginary novel, inspired by Bulwer-Lytton's "It was a dark and storrmy night. . .", co-opted by Snoopy.

I am inconsolable! Devastated! Grieved beyond measure!

JFC!!! BBC caves to krasnov and henchmen. Perhaps our British

members could help us understand what just happened? I would be grateful, because my head hurts, and a glitch in my computer does not allow me to link articles or videos. The BBC Director General Tim Davie, and News Director Deborah Turness resigned yesterday over accusations from a former advisor of "serious and systemic bias" including on coverage of krasnov, Gaza, and LGTBQ+ issues.The nterlocking relationships between the accuser and boris johnson, teresa may, robbie gibb, and others determined to shift the BBC politically.

As I said, my head hurts.

The Daily Bitch*: "I wish people would work as hard to avoid me as I

work to avoid them."

*Both a noun, and a verb, depending on usage.

Nicole Curtis-Rehab Addict. When I was watching, horrorstruck, the

sadistic, hate-fillled, monstrous, evil, destruction of a major part of OUR HOUSE, without our permission or approval, I kept thinking about Nicole's show, how carefully, respectfully, things were done, and I am filled with rage and hatred for the evil now in charge.

"Take Care Of This House" is something those monsters will never understand.

Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden. Eleanor Roosevelt's East Room. How many

other special things promulgated by strong, competent women is he going to destroy??? Beides all our rights, of course.

Two krasnov references to his own death. Yesterday's "when t#### isn't here"

is the second that I have seen. The first was his musing about not getting into heaven recently. For someone who claims to be so incredibly fit and healthy, those are very interesting comments.

May his worst nightmare come true.

"How did we end up with a president and vice president who both wear

more makeup than kylie jenner and Lady Gaga combined???" A line from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue Monday night, which I just caught on youtube. Cracked me up. I noticed that beardo's beard is turning white, and his eyes are super shiny, like they have been polished with mirror-bright. Either that, or some of the weirdest contacts I have ever seen.

Is anyody here familiar with the "blue envelope" program, a law enforcement

program ostensibly nationwide that is supposed to ease encounters between leo's and those wiith various disabilities, etc. As the local sheriff's department spokesperson "explained" it, people with disabilities, etc., ae supposed to keep all their documents with them at all times, and present them upon encountering leo's. The "blue envelope" is also supposed to include guidelines for leo's in dealing with the holders of these envelopes.

Frankly, this creeps me out on so many levels. What is the thinking behind this? Is there any likelihood of meaningful success? What am I missing?
