Last Notes npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…gfcd If humanity gets through this. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…gfcd Iceland got it right but the UK is deliberately being pushed down a USA style political path. The problem being that outside of Englandshire there are other political choices and they are persisting despite huge pressure from the media and Westminster. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…la7y I am sure that assertion was challenged though? Wasn't it..? npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…la7y Not listened to that for an age, thanks for the reminder, listening now 😄 npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…la7y Also I definitely read that in his voice! npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…la7y I wish Peanut the dog was making toast for me as I got up instead of demanding walks first thing a.m. 😄 npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…la7y I would love to have just 10 minutes of one day voiced over by David Attenborough. He makes the minutiae of every creature sound interesting and worthwhile. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear i.e. There is no opposition, all potential leaders of Israel are colonialist, imperialist, genocidal maniacs. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear I often forget my duty and fail to pepper my timeline with whimsy and animals. To remedy this please follow @nprofile…7q7j npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear So #Starmer would prefer the extreme right to win elections if he can't get his own way and today he hasn't learned from the past and now wants to kill UK service people and make the UK population a prime target for terrorism again? npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…la7y Glad to see she is not completely useless. All communications with her about Israel, Palestine Action and the Online "Safety" Act read like government press releases. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…wtal I apologise for making you feel that way and I will say no more on the matter. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…wtal It is not just the repo though - updates are served via github according to the FAQ. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…wtal I had a look at this but I was very disappointed to see that it relies on github, which is effectively Microsoft. The website says "Quit Big Tech" then reveals it uses it. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…m7l3 Is shredded cheese the same as grated cheese? As a cheese lover myself I am open to new experiences if they exist. However it is made though - do you have cheese you can get to the correct format? npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…35ec I am wagging my finger at you! npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…35ec The last part of the speech in Hansard from Robbie Moore sums it all up: npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…35ec LK actually challenging a politician, a right-wing politician!? I think the apocalypse is due. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…rh2x I bet the media and MPs will try their best to though. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…rh2x I hope he is OK. 🫂 ✊🏼 npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's Theme Thursday again - tonight "Ancient Times" npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear A VPN service has become almost mandatory now in the UK - unless you want to give your id and personal details to these "verification" services that suddenly popped up. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear "The government seems to have been sharing the contact details of police and crown prosecutors with the Israeli embassy: there appears to be deep entanglement between domestic law enforcement and the interests of a foreign state." npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…l25h I just gifted a second copy ;-) npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…l25h @nprofile…2w0l @nprofile…9k7r @nprofile…nuew Get it! I did and I am now 24.7% more enlightened! npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear I DON'T stand with Israel. I DON'T support or believe in Starmer or the UK government in any way. NOT in my name you hideous, money-led, tiny little man. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear Is #Starmer on kick-backs from inflated Russian oil prices? 🤔 npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear Would anyone (especially in the "news" and "commentary" media) like to compare the coverage of the #Madleen voyage and reactions to that of the recent trip to "space" by Katy Perry and co.? npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…hz70 You can come to my server..? npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…mjxp I hope this means we will get a peertube video too 😄 ? npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…hz70 That might be why my relationship didn't work out. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…hz70 I wish I could appreciate and focus on those more than the gaping wounds of the abyss either side. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…hz70 This is easier said than done. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @nprofile…hz70 (very gentle) hugs from me and Peanut the dog npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @npub1f2y…m58m npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear Tunes coming from PolarBear HQ watch.thepolarbear.co.uk npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear Does anyone have a recommendation for a creators' merchandise service? One of those places where you can get custom merch like t-shirts and mugs etc on demand? npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @npub198t…hasj Hmm - I don't see them on the GW site any more but I am sure if you look around you will find a copy. It should still be easier to get a hold of than the OG one. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @npub198t…hasj I had Silver Tower for a while and I played it on stream with another player so yes! The other set is called Shadows Over Hammerhal. npub1j59vjxs8kvk8s0del3y8p9aa2cjam64hj3kqmsw0zhtt57frqhsq4dsmt8 Hamish The PolarBear @npub198t…hasj Warhammer Quest was re-released a few years ago as two sets. You can still get them.
