@WarnerCrocker L&H was a staple in my childhood home. My father was a huge fan.

@WarnerCrocker Agreed.

@WarnerCrocker Yes. In the cinema. Liked it way more than I expected. You?

@WarnerCrocker It’s Anita Garvin in it. Autocorrect error.

@WarnerCrocker 👍🏻☺️

There is a remastered version of Blotto by Laurel & Hardy on YouTube. 25 minutes long. Anita Garcia is fab as Stan’s wife. She was in a lot of Laurel & Hardy films.

“Wired gained 62,500 new subscribers in the United States during the first two weeks of February alone. Last year it reported a total of 19.5 million subscribers, either digital or for the monthly printed magazine, or both. Its eight global editions reach 57 million total.”

I subscribed to UK paper edition and US digital edition. I think they have been merged into one joint sub now. But the letter wasn't clear.

I'll see what gets renewed automatically.

Norwegian fuel company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced it will cease supplying fuel to U.S. military forces in Norway and American ships docking in Norwegian ports, citing dissatisfaction with recent U.S. policy towards Ukraine.

@WarnerCrocker Capitalism!

@WarnerCrocker Ah. At the “Still in Cinemas” prices. The Brutalist is out on those rates here in the UK. £19.99 ($25) to buy and £15.99 ($20) to rent. The standard buy price will drop to is £13.99 ($17) to buy and £4.49 ($6) to rent in a few weeks.

The UK prices include 20% sales tax and the US prices I quote are approximate £->$ conversions by Siri.

@WarnerCrocker Is A Complete Unknown out in US VID sites to buy now?

And I hope that you die
And your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket
On a pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your death bed
Then I'll stand over your grave
To make sure that you're dead

@WarnerCrocker It’s a certainty. The only question is the numbers. And we know how much Trump likes to take about crowd size…

How many millions of people do we need lining the streets booong and giving the finger when the orange shitgibbon makes his state visit?

Trump is a Cunt t-shirts optional, but suggested.
