Farage’s evidence that Muslims want to takeover London: Wait for it. Taxi drivers. In Buckinghamshire. I’ve heard taxi drivers tell me lampposts are watching us, Covid was a scam and Aston Villa will win the premier league!!

My son is autistic, largely nonverbal. He reads a lot, is smitten with all things Lego. He excels in school. He finds his ways to communicate. There’s nothing wrong with autism. The rhetoric drives me mad. It’s on us to make the world easier for neurodiverse folks, not to push them to conform.

RIP robert redford i will miss your delicious salad dressings most of all,,

this is truly an era of blather and balderdash. we are up to our eyeballs in claptrap and i for one have had just about my fill

Want to be clear that the predictable violence against the police wasn't the only problem with yesterday's march It's that 100,000 angry racists gathered in London for the biggest racist march in 50 years, and anyone not white had to steer clear The govt can't see that because they are inadequate.

Astounding conspiracy theory here

Perfect movie

Nonzero chance we never find out what motivated the Kirk murder because the admin Rienoehls a suspect and declares the matter closed.

I don't say this often, but if you follow me, I'm asking you to read this: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Reposting the blurb with alt text because everyone deserves to read this...

seems like the wrong day to announce my new literary sci-fi novel, in which a depressed middle-aged professor teaching the dead language Human English on a university spaceship in the far future falls in love with his young willowy student (she is willowy because she is a sexy tree alien)

Can’t not hear this, because of the italics, in the voice of Chandler Bing. RIP u r wiv da angles now

In Alien Earth, a guy is typing "crew dead" on a computer and the words are reflected on his face, but they aren't reversed like they should be. For readabilty I guess. They should've used a palindrome instead, so we can still read it backwards. "Ya won, evil aliens. Is neil alive? no way"

His defence couldn't stand up in court.

If you're in the UK and your phone sounds a strident alarm this Sunday 7 at 3pm, don't panic. This is just the alert from Penguin Random House signalling one month till the publication of the new Pynchon novel

All of this and also, 10,000 people in a country of 70 million is a speck of dust on the ledger.

As Yvette Cooper pushes forward new laws to make it harder for child refugees to get safe passage to join their parents in the UK, here's a picture of her from 2020 campaigning for the complete opposite.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a journalist asking Ed Milliband how he feels when he sees a white van, forever.

Terrible news about Rudy Giuliani

Was talking about this yesterday and it occurred to me that it’s not an accident that the Schwoopers live in Santa Rosa, home of Charles Schulz

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

me a few weeks ago: maybe we've turned a corner and the press won't continue to fan the flames of a non-existent war between movie departments me today: ah shit

All the Letterboxd reviews for Fixed are, oh, you think these puerile jokes about dog genitalia are funny, do you? which reminds me of a friend saying of people walking out of Edward Albee’s “The Goat: or Who is Sylvia?” when it was on in the West End (1/2)

Genndy Tartakovsky really bought the butthole cut, huh.

Really loved Long Story Short. I want 10 seasons of it.

Worth recalling that Lew played the typical role of US Ambassador to Israel during the Biden administration—which is to say he acted as Israel's lawyer within the USG. And no, the lives of the children of enemy fighters are not somehow discounted under the law of war. Civilians are civilians.

Btw Chansiri out OFC

Can we just build a statue of Ethan Horvath in Sheffield now and have done with it?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

Big fan of Ally McCoist telling his footballer friends about the animals he finds in his garden

Sending outraged tweets to Gary Lineker because the salt sachet in Salt & Shake crisp packets is clear now instead of blue.

For all those people who are reluctant to donate directly to Palestinians, this is a good option too:

“Low trust society” = “I don’t like it when brown people” “Failure to assimilate” = “I don’t like it when brown people” Etc etc etc

guys you don’t understand, the schools go back week after next so you’ve got seven days to give the british press the riot they want or this whole summer will have been a total waste of everyone’s time

"We didn't come here to listen to a load of stuff about famine and colonialism and genocide and being forced into exile, we came to hear some Irish folk songs!"

Reading a book on the kindle app on a newish iPad and realising with a jolt of abject horror, several hundred pages in, that popular highlights are on by default.
