Like fuck we did.

Christ. So mind-crushingly tedious and predictable. Badenoch represents nothing new or intelligent or principled. Just more dull-witted, ruinous, right wing garbage. A total failure of imagination and possibility. The Tories deserve nothing but scorn.

“Blocking our chance to settle or to reunite with family members still at risk of harm keeps people like us and our children on the outside, never really allowed to feel secure or like we truly belong.” Choosing to harm and alienate people to placate the tantruming right wing. Again. FFS.

So, it’s the 57th anniversary of the first showing of Night of the Living Dead, in Pittsburgh, when a movie made for a little over $100,000 created (according to Jason Paul Collum, author of ‘Assault of the Killer B’s’) “a permanent shift in modern horror cinema”

Back in 2019 I curated extra content for a banger German edition of Arnold's classic "The Running Man" - one interview I was so proud of getting, in his Italian home, was poster artist Renato Casaro, filmed and interviewed by Eugenio Ercolani. I am so sorry to hear he has passed. A mammoth talent.

In The Jerk, a mad sniper picks Navin Johnson's name out of the phone book and shoots up the gas station where he works. When Navin sees a rack of nearby oil cans sprout holes and gush, he exclaims "These cans are defective !" When he realizes there's a shooter, he yells, "He hates these cans!!!"

Absolutely right from Streeting. But then government/Mahmood need to make crystal clear this applies to people who have arrived since 2021 and are working in NHS/care right now -and that government is not going to change the rules and leave them at the mercy of a future Reform/Conservative govt

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

Looking forward to Iko's directing debut!

Oof, already seeing 3rd yr students absent due to job hunting stuff. Can the keidanren and Japanese companies overall just let these kids be kids for a bit longer? J. university already feels more like a 3-yr program instead of a 4-yr cause they basically spend the entire 4th yr doing job stuff.

why don't combadges have headphone jacks anymore

I’ll be illegally streaming every American made or financed movie and TV show I want to watch from now on.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

"Most violence happens in the home, not on the streets. [We had] a strategy to address it around four pillars: prevention, engagement, the victim’s journey, and rehabilitation. That serious, practical work has now been pushed aside in favour of fearmongering and scapegoating." goodlaw.social/hudg
