David Miliband: I re-initialzed the entire command structure, retaining all programmed abilities but deleting the supplementary preference architecture.
Jack Straw: ???
Douglas Alexander: I think he just turned it off and on again.
Happy Christmas y'all!
Or if you don't celebrate Christmas, happy Yule, Hanukkah, or other winter holiday!
Yesterday I was watching a video about the Muppets, and I got reminded by the bunch of old characters of mine from a old project and decided to draw em. Anyway sorry for yapping
Val dracula!! He's probably the most known of these characters cuz I quite literally made a puppet of him so- yeah.
He's the cooky showman of the mansion! Always with a new play in mind
Jack straw. Probably my second known one because he was originally married to Val (idk how canon I'll make that now. We'll see). He often is in the garden outside, doing what he needs to. He's also in the cemetery from time to time, usually bringing flowers to the graves that no one visits.
Anyway have my random doodles of them
Silly
I don't know why but I really like this doodle lmao
Oh noooo his scriptttttt
Short characters climbing on big characters is funny to me can't you tell
Anyway I swear I'll have a holiday post today or TMR i just wanted to get this out. :3
Song Review(s): Phil Lesh & Friends - “Deal,” “Jack Straw” and “Eyes of the World” -> “The Eleven” Live, March 18, 2023)
With Friends like these, Phil Lesh can breathe new life into old songs while maintaining ties to the past fans expect.
The four-song, livestream giveaway from Lesh & Friends’ March 18 show in New York featured adventurousness in instrumentation and arrangements and a passel of lead singers as the band stuck to the Grateful Dead’s pre-retirement repertoire.
The show-opening “Deal” was, indeed, dealing as Nicki Bluhm stretched her vocal cords to a rasp and violinist Katie Jacoby made herself known early and often across a powerhouse arrangement that planted the long-ago firmly in the here-and-now.
Son and father - guitarist Grahame and bassist Phil Lesh - sung the Bob Weir and Jerry Garcia lines, respectively, on “Jack Straw.” While Lesh the younger is not a particularly enthralling vocalist, it must run in the family, Dad was spirited, flexing muscle not heard in his baritone since the 1990s.
The band nearly fell apart coming out of the play for silver verse, making for a clumsy reading set to an aggressive presentation.
“Eyes of the World” was its typically glorious self, with the smooth James Casey at the mic. When he wasn’t singing, Casey wrapped his soprano sax around Jacoby’s violin in a warm aural embrace that further illuminated between-verse spotlights from the violinist, keyboardist John Medeski and guitarists Grahame Lesh and Rick Mitarontonda.
The rhythm section of Lesh the elder and drummer John Molo propelled “Eyes” seamlessly into “The Eleven.” And while the ensemble vocals were raggedy, the ensemble playing was the delightfully antithetical, giving the sonic illusion this particular band had played together for years rather than days.

TIL that Home Secretary Jack Straw was apparently so well known for his strictness that Tony Blair used to threaten his kids with a visit from him if they didn't do their homework.

With the US doing its level best to raise tensions with Iran, Jeremy Hunt has revealed himself to be every bit the pathetic poodle of Washington that Tony Blair and ex-foreign secretary Jack Straw were in 2003 before the invasion of Iraq. Campaigning for the Tory leadership in Scotland on Monday, Hunt pretended to be “very concerned” about the recent attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, which he claimed were “almost certainly” the work of Iran. He offered no new evidence, of course — but then again, he didn’t need it; “instinct” had already told him that the Trump administration’s chief warmongers, John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, were telling him the truth. Britain’s instant, slavish support for the US’ flimsy narrative against Iran is even more pathetic when you consider that other usually staunch US allies are openly questioning Washington’s claims. Germany and Japan have both cast doubt on the Trump administration’s assessments, making room for Britain to confirm its role as the most reliable of US lapdogs once again.
