Jesus Christ, the MCU is creatively bankrupt. This sucks.

This statement demonstrates once again that Weiss is a deeply, deeply stupid person yet she still earnestly believes she’s the smartest person in the room.

I mean, I’ll go see it… but this doesn’t look great, I have to say. Odd casting choices.

It’s quite something to say Brexit has been good, actually, and then in the next breath, talk about how bad the economy is like they are totally unrelated.

This is probably what Weiss wanted in the first place so she can stack the newsroom with acolytes and other terrible journalists.

“There have been no findings that any elections to date were affected by foreign interference.” How can Reed make such a statement when it hasn’t ever been properly investigated? This is more cowardice from Labour.

Crazy really considering the first two were pretty bad.

This spurious, poorly-written lawsuit is a waste of time. Even a Trump-friendly judge will have a hard time seeing what the case is here.

Ruben Amorim and Manchester United’s insatiable desire to ruin my day is something to really behold.

No doubt that all frontline NHS staff — not just doctors — should be paid more, but demanding what effectively amounts to a 55% pay rise over a six-year period in the current economic climate is absolutely ridiculous.

Oh right, you mean the trade deals which are doing next to nothing for the UK economy, especially when compared to rejoining the CU? What a tragedy that would be to lose those.

We live in a rapidly changing world where very little is for certain, but the one thing you can always count on is the British public’s insatiable appetite for banning things.

This will probably tank Netflix’s bid because of Paramount’s Trump association, but for what? Why do Paramount actually want to buy WBD? It would create an unwieldy company saddled with hundreds of billions in debt and no growth. At least the Netflix deal somewhat makes sense strategically.

I suppose I’d rather Netflix made this acquisition instead of Paramount given the political ramifications, but I still feel like this is probably not a good thing.

My God, this is so pathetic. Our national broadcasting and internet regulator emailing law-breaking companies with a PayPal link asking them politely to pay fines. Deeply unserious country.

If that’s truly how he feels, then he should probably stop enacting Reform’s immigration policies. The call is coming from inside the house.

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

I’ve read the quote and watched the clip multiple times and I still cannot believe that Jeffries actually said this. Primary the fuck out of this guy. What a disgrace.

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

There it is in black and white: Chris Mason admits that he does not know what his job is. No wonder he is so desperately poor at doing it.

If you include all the previous +100% drug price reductions Trump has claimed to have caused, pharmacy companies must now be paying consumers hundreds of dollars to buy a pack of Advil.

McLaren have done almost everything they can to throw away this drivers championship. Insane that Max is still in it. It’s like they’ve borrowed Ferrari’s strategy book.

What an absolute mess McLaren have made of the strategy here. Disastrous for both cars. Should’ve pitted under the safety car.

A pretty good summary of the budget here. Great to see the two-child benefit cap lifted, but other than that, this very much felt like a budget of managed decline. This govt remains incapable of communicating a vision for the country.

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate. Extract from my press remarks following today’s informal Foreign Affairs Council ↓

This strikes at the heart of Labour’s problem. Two budgets in a row now of tinkering around the edges to raise just enough to get by until the next budget, all while constraining growth in the process, which is the *only* thing that’s going to ultimately break the cycle.

Well, that saves me having to listen to Reeves muddle through her budget speech.

This government is finished. The decisions expected to be announced tomorrow by Reeves in this budget are mind-bogglingly stupid.

Imagine coming up with a proposal so stupid, so unworkable, so thoughtless, that it makes Robert Jenrick look sane by comparison. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absolutely fucking insane from Reeves to keep the 5p cut going. Completely indefensible.

Killing Eve has to be up there. The last season was diabolically bad.

Crazy how many people genuinely believe a wealth tax is the sole thing that can miraculously solve all of Britain’s economic woes.

The fact that there are millions of people who earnestly listen to this unbelievably shit, unintelligible podcast every week hurts my soul.

This is damning. Credit to the interviewer for not allowing Farage to obfuscate like he always does and pin him down to a clear answer.

You really only have to spend five minutes in the US to see how little it has in common with modern Britain. People like Kruger promote this false idea that we have some kind of superiority over Europe, whom we have far more in common with than the Americans.

Elise Stefanik is one of the biggest losers in Congress. Embarrassing.

Can’t overstate how masterfully well Mamdani handled this meeting. Played to Trump’s base attraction to popular, successful people without moving off message or veering into sycophancy.

Disgusting.

This is why immigration is a zero-sum game that any responsible govt would not play with the far-right, because even if you get the numbers down, they’ll just pivot the argument to blame you for something else or insist it’s still not low enough. There’s always another racist dog whistle to blow.

Can’t believe it. You’d never have known.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

Labour’s “we have to do it, or racism will get worse” argument is striking. Any other public policy failures British ethnic minorities should be on the hook for? Can we be blamed en bloc for Rachel Reeves’ budget next week too? www.ft.com/content/37b0...

Almost like there’s a lesson in this somewhere for Labour.

Getting the seal of approval on your immigration policy like this from racist convicted criminal “Tommy Robinson” would ring major alarm bells in any govt. Not this one though. Labour are an absolute disgrace, I will never, ever vote for them.

I know it gets said a lot on here, but it’s extraordinarily alarming how many MPs on the right are so deeply consumed by what they see on Twitter that they genuinely believe it is an accurate window into society at large when it’s actually just a window into insanity and bigotry.

This is just utter nonsense. There is no strict canon or continuity in the Bond series — that’s basically the entire point and why it has endured for 60+ years. Horowitz is creatively bankrupt if he thinks it’s impossible to write the next Bond movie after NTTD.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

This is the new ‘Australian points-based system’ that British politicians refer to as the magical new solution to immigration without even understanding how it actually works.

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

The Washington Post with a story about how remaking an institution to appeal to the pro-Trump right doesn't help the bottom line.
