Jenrick being the loudest member of the Conservative party has already been a huge contributor to the poisoning of our politics. We really don't need any four-dimensional chess about him becoming leader. When it happens, it will be a terrible day for our country.

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

Genocide isn't just killing people, it's also killing their social customs and religious rituals

And death rituals are among the most important rituals in almost every culture

To deny burials and death rituals isn't just cruel. it's a strategic snd demoralizing part of a genocidal campaign

Got into a big argument with 70s rockers Thin Lizzy the other day about who wrote the greatest screenplay of all time. I had to hand it to Puzo and Coppola for β€œThe Godfather”, but the band were ADAMANT that the honour should go to the script for β€œChinatown”.

The boys are backing Towne again

POLITICS COMMENTATOR, 10 AM: Looking at electoral polls this far out from a general election is a complete waste of everyone's time.

Of course *I* find Cameron liking the Smiths hard to believe cos he is clearly to the left of Morrissey on race

Yeah also I think a lot of liberal/left people read Pratchett young and he’s one of the first authors who really crystallises their sense of morality and social justice so it feels personal, like people not believing Cameron could like the Smiths

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I don't think there is any substantive difference between Reform and the Tories on asylum or justice anymore. We don't have a centre-right party.

was listening to "When Doves Cry" last night and it hit me that "dig if you will" and Rod Sterling's "consider if you will" are the ~same phrase, and now I want a TWILIGHT ZONE hosted by Prince so bad.

if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future

I defied Friends until my daughter asked me to watch it with her. Now I own the Friends Monopoly set and would advocate for David Schwimmer as one of the finest physical comedians of the 21st century.

I've never seen The Godfather.

When directors shoot "practical, in camera, for real", who do you think that sets them apart from and what do you think it means about the amount of CGI in the film?
