The Guardian have issued a correction on their Melania review, advising that it was incorrectly given 1 star, when it should have been zero.
Savage update to this review of the Melania movie 😂

Yes, it's a school show so does have teens and common tropes. But, I also found it charming, with lots of fun easter eggs. Holly Hunter as the Chancellor is also a strange delight.
This is a great thread about the resistance in Minneapolis.
Glimmers of hope.
Starmer is a spineless coward with zero integrity.
Trying to 'both sides' this blatant illegal act and stay on Trump's good side.
Fuck dictators and those who appease them.
Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.

What the fuck.
Will be interesting to see whether other world leaders keep up their tactic of appeasement and try to act like this is normal or understandable, or if any are willing to stand up to him.

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, by Becky Chambers.
It is a brilliant, hopeful story about people and connections, that makes me feel better every time I read it. I recommend it every chance I get. (The subsequent books in the series are awesome too.)
Loved the Stranger Things finale. They did a brilliant job bringing everyone together, showing how much they'd grown (levelled up), were confident in themselves, and gave us a massive team up boss battle. The extended epilogue was so welcome too.
Seeing the stage show in March, can't wait.
Mamdani's full victory speech is worth a listen if you want to feel really optimistic.

Now we need to keep the progressive wave going over here.
Make hope normal again!
We're just getting started.
Time to lower bills. And tax billionaires.

There are a ton of reasons why mandatory ID cards are a terrible idea, especially if it's run by an awful American data mining org like Palantir.
Petitions themselves don't do much, but media pressure can help if the signatures get high enough.

The real threat to labour isn't bumbling Corbyn - it's the greens.
Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills.

Text about EHRC not directly contacting Transgender, Intersex, LGBTQ+ groups before November 2024 hearing. Describes regular engagement with such groups.
We asked the EHRC whether they consulted any trans, intersex or LGBTQ+ groups before intervening in the 2024 Supreme Court case For Women Scotland v Scottish Ministers.
Their answer? They didn’t. 1/

Absolutely horrified at the news that a neo-nazi music festival being held this weekend in Great Yarmouth. The mask has fully slipped - how is it just okay now to say you're a nazi? Apparently they've scheduled this on Pride weekend too.

They had stands for the first time which was def worth it, proper seats and private toilets = priceless.
We did venture into the streets for a bit to get the full carnival vibes, but it really does get rammed, and we were very glad we had a space to come back to.
First time at the Notting Hill Carnival yesterday. Excellent experience - great to see different cultures, wonderful music on the parade and excellent costumes.
Long day though, out of the door in full make up at 6.30am, drinking and dancing most of the day, home at 11pm. Today is for rest.
I watched KPop Demon Hunters last night and it was excellent - awesome to see fun girl culture, gorgeous animation, and surprisingly good songs.
I immediately searched for sequel news and was not disappointed!
What are you reading at the moment?
I'm currently in David Eddings' Belgariad series, which I adored as a teen, and hadn't gone back to since hearing the allegations about him. Rediscovering all the things I loved about it, it's such a comfort read.
For decades, “South Park” has been crude, cynical and childish.
That may be what makes it perfect for this moment:

Ep 3 is about AI (and Trump, of course), and it's less wild than the first two, but still so relevant.
That ending was horrifying though...
Who else is watching South Park?
I was never a fan, just saw it as crude and pointless.
Season 27 is crude and topical. I watched the first ep as there were memes everywhere, and... I'm kinda into it. It's still gross, but with excellent satire. Finding myself looking forward to what they do next.
