Honestly putting a "volume one" or "act one" or whatever in the title of your piece of media just makes me worried about investing my energy into some shit that's not gonna get finished

I... dont think it's ever a good idea

Cheap? I reckon they really pushed the boat out to holiday in other people's misery.

Harrison ford is my first and favourite movie star... and by that, I mean one that i didn't inherit from my parents; an actor I discovered for myself before they did. In fact, I remember my Auntie saying "He's not going to be a proper star."

From Iran to Venezuela to New York, Trump wants to control the world's oil Forget Saudi Arabia. Trump is making America the world's most dominant petrostate.

This is a war almost 40 years in the making.

Trump said in *1987* that the US should attack "horrible, horrible" Iran, "and take over some of their oil." In the years since, Trump talked about seizing oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Kuwait, and Libya.

I guess, suddenly, they can tolerate all the "woke" that drove them out of the UK in the first place.

Jesus, how is this a *Labour* Home Secretary?!! Haven't we had enough of this xenophobia from the Tories for decades, why are the people we elected to remove this kind of poisonous rhetoric just playing Braverman karaoke?

Nigel Farage 'trying to rig' election rules in Trumpian 'sore loser' move Nigel Farage is accused of trying to 'rig the rules' in elections with Trumpian plans to restrict who can vote and ban postal votes after defeat at the Gorton and Denton by-election

Nigel Farage to 'rig the rules' in elections with Trumpian plans to restrict who can vote and ban postal votes after by-election defeat.

People with indefinite leave to stay will lose the right to vote.

The elderly, disabled and busy people will be disenfranchised.

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: β€˜your leaders aren’t right for you,’ β€˜we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

There's some great art in the Blueberry books. "Nez CassΓ©" is possibly my favourite of all his artwork. Every panel could be blown up 10x its size and it would be a work of art in its own right.

Every couple weeks in the British press: "is thinking bourgeois? Are experts an elite wielding their power over those who have the privilege not to care or know about anything? Is integrating a range of voices from different cultural & experience backgrounds the ruling class imposing on the people?
