Rian Johnson wants to make ‘Knives Out’ movies for the rest of his life “I don’t feel burnt out doing these at all. If anything I feel energized after doing this one” His deal to make them at Netflix ends with ‘Wake Up Dead Man’

BREAKING: A federal judge has tossed out a defamation lawsuit Drake brought against Universal Music Group, labeling the alleged libelous words as opinion.

Um... what?

after careful study, I believe only people born between 1975 and 1995 should be allowed to use the internet

I need to stop being such a coward

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

Wait, they're saying circumcision causes autism? That's what I get for being offline for two hours.

Israel's Ben Gvir: 'We are happy about the release of all the hostages, but we will vote against the release of murderers. The Prime Minister committed to me that Hamas will be dismantled. If it doesn't happen? We will dismantle the government'

So what's the deal with FindOutNow?

Supervillains were invented because it quickly turned out when writing stories that they often work better when they contain a fucking antagonist.

Is it bad that I don't know which one is Lucy Powell and which one is Bridgette Phillipson?

The League of Super Redundant Heroes did a parody comic about it.

I know there's still Cabinet meetings to go, but Ben-Gvir has yet to resign. That's the thing to watch.

They just announced that the Doctor Who Series 10 soundtrack is coming. No release date yet. What took them so long?

This could be controversial but British food isn’t one of the worlds Great Cuisines but most people unfairly generalize all British food to postwar slop. No one hates shepards pie or fish and chips

crack idea for a film: retro-style mummy movie set in the '30s that expects you to care a lot about egyptian politics in the '30s. like the mummy is fought over by wafdists and loyalists of king farouq

This is maybe my least pro-market position: the good thing about drinking in a pub is there is an adult who can cut you off, something which cannot happen when you are drinking alone with the booze you bought at Tesco.

ted danson affirmatively /having/ been friends with alexander kerensky (yes that kerensky) continues to blow my mind, thanks @storywonker.bsky.social

Online there’s this mythology built around the idea the early Golden Age was about gritty detective stories and folk heroes triumphing over petty crooks. That’s not entirely wrong but that era was very short lived, Superman and Batman both introduced supervillains a year into their publication

Need to bring back official anti-racism. Even as hypocritical as it was passing the '81 Nationalities Act was you still had an official anti-racism which would have stopped Jenrick in his tracks. Another era I fear.

Moooooom people are arguing in favor of a policy I favor but for bad reasons again

The dumbest part about that cognitohazard is that Bruce *does* canonically give large amounts of money to charity via the Wayne Foundation

British Transport Police's decision to not investigate bike thefts outside train stations where bikes have been left for more than two hours is really concerning. It could effectively decriminalise it. Together with Lib Dem colleagues I've written to the BTP to get clarity.

The Mob vs Nazis is such an underexplored space of stories

There was certainly something recently which monopolised all public debate and paralysed all policy initiative in the UK for the better part of a decade, and I dont think it was trans rights.

“Please ignore the fact our party was in power during that entire period.”

Badenoch's brain should be studied. Visibly believes that she has put the hours in working while all her policy suggestions are just obviously picked up on Twitter without any critical thought before they end up as policy. Visibly confused as to who was in office 2010 to 2024.

*should

the most delightful version of logging on to see what news you've missed

The pricing software/ blackrock obsession is so funny to me because it basically posits that there was no housing crisis before, like, 2018.

Trump will not be providing financial support to farmers due to government shut down

This was the best meme template. Everything else pales in comparison

It’s crazy that a pint is more expensive than Lunch like c’mon

My ★★★★ review of Train Man on Letterboxd boxd.it/biyxlz

Jar-Jar absolutely believes the cover story for order 66 and has no idea how he missed just how bombad the jedi were

At no point should he ever face karmic retribution or indeed be cognizant of having done anything wrong at all.

I dislike this. I think Jar-Jar should have retired in luxury after a lengthy career in the Senate as one of the “Naboo Mafia,” be granted a dukedom by the emperor for his services to the Empire, and spent his elder years dabbling as a part-time centrist pundit in the New Republic.

I think Jar Jar could beat Thrawn because there are some things cold order simply cannot contain or plan for.

Hey @sharonk.bsky.social I need to know if this is actually worth a read. And by that I mean, is this worth an *unironic* read.

a lot of people who boiled their brains with IDF atrocity footage and believe that only Israel killed civilians on 10/7, a thing Hamas doesn't even believe, are extremely mad Zohran is like, normal.

How many of these people speak any Arabic. Like, the slightest bit of MSA.

We have an independent judiciary in this country. Robert Jenrick wants puppet judges. The Conservative Party once believed in the rule of law and our shared British values - no longer.

Tied with the Tories and three points behind Labour…

I agree with every word Zelda Williams says. And this at the end from OpenAI makes me want to go full Ned Ludd. Creators can’t have a blanket opt-out on copyright infringement of their work and have to fill out a form appealing to OpenAI’s mercy every time? Fuck off into the sun

taylor, girl, you're in danger
