I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic

America making massive headway with War and Pestilence but sadly Famine decided to try out a McDonald's drive-through and his horse got hit by a monster truck.

vampire sexploitation film called Sperm Count

Maybe medieval animals actually looked like that

Amazing that Americans have no way of experiencing the sheer political thrill of “the prime minister is probably going to have to resign and just hasn’t realised it yet”

An entire ideology predicated on the same impulse that prompts a toddler to kick off about going on a booster seat.

The purest freedom there is

Could also discard mandatory body armour if you really want to enhance your freedom

So glad they finally have the freedom to catch more preventable diseases

it's fine I've washed my hands

I can't believe 911 was 1,115 years ago

Logging on at lunchtime to repost random shit and be annoying to precisely three of my friends before logging off again

Technically every high-five I've done since 2002 but I know that's not what you mean

the cat should pay tbh

I know the lad loves a pint don't tell me he's on the fags as well

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

Starmer trusted his first-choice chief of staff, Sue Gray, to have prepared an oven-ready plan for power, which Labour would roll out the day after winning the election. It turned out no such plan existed. Starmer then replaced Gray with his election mastermind McSweeney, who had been serving in a political director role. McSweeney was given the power to provide political input on Starmer's behalf into a huge swathe of policy decisions across government and, for a time, things improved. https://www.politico.eu/article/keir-starmer-dangerous-leadership-style-uk-peter-mandelson/

“Starmer assumed Gray had a super-secret plan for governing but she didn’t so they did nothing” is such a wild line, and the hacks seem so uninterested in learning more about this astonishing, farcical setup

people who say this act like if they weren't at the airport they'd be at home curing cancer. what exactly are your big plans for your extra 45 minutes at home you fuckin loser

I shudder to even think about what the Sandy Hook parents have been through. Horrors upon horrors.

Yeah definitely. We always slate people for doing it, need to give people credit for resisting the temptation.

lol suck it.

Gabriel available after he escaped a red card for flicking his head into the face of Erling Haaland, a decision that was very difficult to understand. Haaland, effectively, paid the price for standing looking at him with an air of magnificent bemusement; a different player would have collapsed and then it’s hard to see how Gabriel could have avoided dismissal. (It’s a side issue, but this is why players dive and feign injury; the flick of the head was clear but Gabriel got away with it because of Haaland’s refusal to react, something that disadvantaged City in the short term of the game but also in the sense that the defender will not now serve a three-match ban.)

This is a fair point isn't it - modern football has incentivised acting like a little bitch

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

true crime brain has fucked people up so bad and they get really mad when you point that out. and also that the entire true crime industry is predatory and exploitative
