I've read 9 of the 100-21 guardian best books of all time. I suspect 20-1 isn't going to hold much science fiction, horror or fantasy (Dracula at 76, Frankenstein much higher)

If Dilbert Stark is a trillionaire, you could take 99% of his wealth away and he'd still have an unimaginable $10bn.

watched some animated Star Wars thing with my lad the other night. Set before A New Hope. Have to say Vader's lightsabering skills went to shit pretty quickly between the two.

Nigel Farage insisting "I cannot be bought," after being exposed for secretly trousering £5 million from a crypto billionaire, buying a house with the money, and then immediately launching a lobbying campaign for the crypto industry, is quite something

Jenrick listed the money as coming from 'Spott Fitness' - a company which had no employees, had never made a profit and carried debts of over £300,000. In reality it came from Gary Klopfenstein, a Chicago-based investor who pled guilty to wire fraud and misappropriating funds

Since today marks the 40th anniversary of the release of Top Gun, I'd like to salute the star of the film: the F-14 Tomcat! Sadly though, I regret to inform you that since the F-14's first flight was December 1, 1970, it's actually closer in time to WW I's Sopwith Camel than it is to us.

This is simply bonkers. The White House is in active discussions with DOJ about settling Trump's lawsuit against the IRS in his favor, *precisely because* a judge might soon throw it out. WH apparently wants DOJ to agree to "settle" the lawsuit *before* that happens. Utter insanity.
