#LifeJackets
On this day in 2023 Random Hand released their fantastic self titled studio album.

Their first for a couple of years, the lead single Lifejackets set the tone, what an album! Especially love XY as well! Great fun!

Also surviving yourself? Lifejackets, O2 masks, all that.
I'm totally fine. Spouse has same philosophy about money. I have to slow down on expenditure rates at some point, but now is not that point...

People have lifejackets on and need life rafts… on Survivor? You don’t know how to swim? #Survivor51

Carrying a three inch or longer fixed blade while in command of or crewing a boat in open water doesn't need a specific separate legal basis. Racing crews often go to sea with knives that would be hugely illegal in London streets strapped to their lifejackets. It's the piracy that's the crime.

Which is why the RNLI and it's wonderful volunteers need to be protected from thugs.
Although you probably think what they do isn't dangerous because they always wear lifejackets and dry suits.

The Guardian: Far-right activist Daniel Thomas slashed a dinghy full of lifejackets while a rescue worker was onboard. Hundreds gathered in Gosport to disrupt the planned disembarkation of asylum seekers.

Plenty of people have died in drysuits and lifejackets. It only takes somebody getting tangled up and things can go badly wrong, very, very quickly.

Down in the casino, rolling for the last lifejackets.

Lifejackets for people? Well that goes without saying, doesn’t it?
I’ve had a few boats and EVERYONE onboard had a life jacket (maritime law requires that there must be a lifejacket or personal flotation device).
Anyone who couldn’t swim? They were wearing it.

Goes for anyone on a boat, my school (10th grade boarding school) had sailing as one of the major lines, we had a boat cat and two boat dogs. They, like us, had their own lifejackets. So cute. They also swam with us in the ocean.
(Teacher pets, they went to work with their humans daily).

What came next was a decision that would take the Shins from a well-loved secret to a broadly-reference name almost overnight, and split their fanbase right down the middle with a debate about whether the band should have done it.

They put on the lifejackets in the middle of the night when most people are asleep and rescue that person without regards to whether that person is this country or another country doesn’t make a difference they don’t suddenly think that this person is illegal I don’t even know

This is like the purser aboard a sinking cruise ship, seeking to curry favor with his deranged, geriatric captain by screaming at passengers who "dare the audacity of donning lifejackets and heading for the boats"

And Bullshit Bannon gives him a forum.

Weasels of a feather, I suppose....

See also: the 700 disgruntled squaddies who used to be based there, breathing in asbestos.

In other news: check out the Daily Express's video editor doing that nifty trick of making it look like there are brown migrants camped in tents a few yards away, with a big pile of lifejackets. 🤬

After a few dozen rewatches of The Goofy Movie, Grant figures the best way to win over the icy reindeer Randall is with a charming familial road trip towards the lake, complete with film-accurate puffy lifejackets~!

7/x While the vessels lie together, a crewman on the U-boat raises a camera. Several frames: seven men on a raft, looking up at the submarine that has just sunk them. Ordinary faces, lifejackets, calm sea.

Desperately need a BtB episode from @iwriteok.bsky.social and @whysophiewhy.bsky.social about the PS General Slocum. Learning about the lifejackets alone made me seethe with rage haha.

27/x The Staten Island Ferry ran seven boats. The Samuel I. Newhouse loaded close to her 6,000 person capacity through the debris cloud. One man leapt from the apron onto the deck and told the crew he was jumping for his life. Unasked, the passengers all put on lifejackets.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social when you get a callers telling you Dover is being invaded they are right.

But the invaders did not wear orange lifejackets and did not come in small boats.

They wore black balaclavas and they came on the train.
