Can we get someone who likes star wars like 46% less to be in charge instead

This headline sucks. "Tilly Norwood" did not respond to a goddamn thing.

A special prize to anyone who protests about animals on banknotes *WHILE USING AN ANIMAL TO REPRESENT THE MYTHICAL GREATNESS OF THE NATIONAL CHARACTER*

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran. It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades. Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties. 175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Liberals love to do “what if these monsters were gay? ha ha ha” satire. It’s gross every time.

Look so this isn't really OP's the point, but one of the weirdest things about the prequels *even at the time* was the disconnect between their /relatively/ astute politics & big-picture work on the one hand and their clunky writing & scene-work on the other

It is very fun to watch this guy absolutely crash out as he realises the voters have had enough of him.

Are those Ukrainians in the room with you right now, Viktor?

"Commandant Deez Nutes"

I really loathe this trend.

“You’ll rue the day you crossed Honko Bongus”

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Industry season 5 Rob: returns as political adviser to Zack Polanski Harper: shorts an AI hegemon Yasmin: inadvertently helps the Iranian regime evade sanctions

“What did he say?” “I dunno, something about Pete Hegseth foot domination”

Not the point here but I hate this use of 'diverse' to mean 'minority'. An individual by themself by definition cannot be diverse

Incidentally the “Gaiman is autistic” defense these people use is not only very insulting to autistic people, who understand consent, but is … a little implausible given that he’s an incredibly emotionally skilled person! That - and talent - made his career: LBJ level social skills.

Compromise proposal: what about a picture of noble British badgers savaging a Nazi paratrooper?

Opinion pundits are the same the world over.

War Is Pretty Much Over (If You Want It)

EVERYTHING is gender, part 9,000

Yeah I feel like if Matt Yglesias is right a lot of the stuff he wants should take place as quietly and in as low profile a way as possible but the nature of his job and of modern political communication more generally make that impossible.

it got worse

virtue signaling is good. practicing virtue is better, but both signaling AND practicing virtue is best.

My humble submission to the new Bank of England with concepts for the new bank notes to please both sides.

descriptions of Trump 2 as a 'clownshoes' government were once taken to be figurative, but the discovery of new images from the era ...

As an atheist I will only accept as legitimate a religion where I 100% know for sure the founder was a real person, like L Ron Hubbard

I‘ll admit it, I didn’t expect the evil to be so cringe.

Had not previously considered Bethlehem as Florida/Texas. Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, but let’s not get ridiculous.

it is sort of funny to me that there is a genuine case in academic biblical history that argued Joseph went to bethlehem was to get a lower tax rate

This is true of most people in general prior to about 1700 or so

one of the dumber takes you hear are liberals saying that charlie kirk was the one holding the right together on israel and no, that's not true. he was a big deal but he was also killed right before the inevitable contradiction between pro israel warmonger and antisemitic isolationists popped up

As I have said repeatedly, the only move the anti-trans side has is pretending that they've found a scandal, then describe the way medicine (or medical research) works in every other field but trans care in breathless, scandalized tones.

"let's print the bible in the vulgate so everyone can read and understand it" ... "jEsUs WaNtS yOu tO oWn a AR-15!!!"

Luther never considered people would systematically destroy literacy rates

lmfao this is the kinda shit that makes my one super Catholic friend start ranting and raving about crazy protestants not knowing shit about the bible.

Lmfao josh has never read the bible Im guess but also "Jesus told people they should own an ar15" is such a funny thought

It’s fascinating that “you don’t have to believe in the 14th century to be good at chess” is a hypothesis that has a clear evidence base to support it.

i don't have the attention span for it, but someone should do a bit of being a Chuck Norris mythicist we have no record of any effort to put Chuck Norris onto Mount Rushmore. there's no way he was a historical figure, because that would have been mentioned in multiple contemporaneous sources.

i actually understand how important the strait of hormuz being closed is because i've seen star wars: episode i: the phantom menace (1999)

Britain's oldest and most successful political party

British people famously hate art Of cute animals and would much prefer if they brought back Darwin or Adam Smith.

When I said 'Kemi Badenoch is so partisan, under her the Tories would oppose puppies and kittens if Labour said something nice about them', I didn't mean it literally.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter
