I recently read and enjoyed this. But was there something significant about that date?

Forget Thanos, I feel like if Batman & Robin came out today it’d be all about #PoisonIvyAndMrFreezeWereRight.

I swear I did a double take when scrolling past that after seeing it on billboards just a couple of months ago.
US republican party of the apes...
When it happens I think Jon Stewart will be the one talk show host who decides ‘Fuck it, I’ve nothing to lose’ and say what we’re all thinking.
Are we sure it wasn’t posted by an overzealous staffer?

If I was Barack Obama I would regularly call Donald Trump and say the craziest shit I could think of and then forcefully deny ever having spoken to him
But it makes zero sense for Two-Face to have a pair of Nygma’s boxes before Nygma has even gone into business.
Thought that was the Casino Royale title credits at first.
Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.
I’m waiting for The Express to show us what Kate was wearing.
People who spew anti vaccine crap should be prosecuted by their victims.
It would quickly shut them down.
For what? What’s happening?
We should set up an exchange program where we swap the good dead people for some of the living assholes we have lying around and don't really need anymore
Leave it to Vanilla Ice!
I’ve just finished reading this and the previous chapter as I’m slowly working my way through the book so I love this thread. And I agree with everything you said.
I like it. Bur surely even he can’t find that codpiece comfortable!
And when he said Trump sounded more coherent than Biden!
I’ll admit I only know him from Americast, which I’ve been an avid listener of from day 1, but he’s really been putting me off it lately. Like when he claimed one of Trump’s recent interviews on Fox pushed back on him a bit when everyone else was saying otherwise (TBC I didn’t see it myself).
I look forward to hearing about this on @untitledstartrekproject.com @nathanbottomley.com @docoho44.bsky.social
From £350 million a week….
Say what you will about Quentin Tarantino, but the end of Inglorious Bastards made some interesting points about how we should have dealt with the Nazis.
The action figures were based on this.
Hopefully seasons 2-3 of SNW will air soon in the UK as I enjoyed the first.
And I’ve got the latest episodes of 500YD on the list.
Please tell me it'll be about Buffy as my days of regularly enjoying @untitledstartrekproject.com are now numbered and I've only got *(Checks phone!)* 70 FTE's left to tick off!

THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young
son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them — and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's
very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

Honestly, I hadn’t even listened to your festive episodes yet (or any of my other news & politics podcasts from the past fortnight) and was gonna be catching up on Monday/Tuesday and then this happens!
