My Neighbour Totoro: one of the few perfect films.

Enjoyed the movie of Project Hail Mary. Pretty much a straight-served version of the book. Often overwrought visual direction.

First half of the picture worked well - “ecological Stalinism to survive as a species”. Sandra Huller is an excellent foil for Gosling - those coy, deadpan deliveries.

I love Dolly Parton for this 🫶

But I also have radical leftist ideas that we should fund libraries.

Dolly won’t always be here to save us all

Hah.

DLSS5 OFF/ON MEME. DLSS5 ON: Bright, colourful, exaggerated character art style Maui in the original Moana. DLSS5 ON: A muted photo of the real Dwayne Johnson playing Maui in the live action remake. He looks like a normal, if buff, middle aged man in a bad wig. It's awful.

Nailed it.

EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

I just got laid off in the Battlefield Studios layoffs this morning. If anyone knows of any UI Programming jobs available in the Seattle area (Or remote), please let me know. I have 7+ years of experience in the industry, and I helped ship Battlefield 6.

Cold pizza for breakfast. For the win.

One frontbench MP said: “If we can suddenly find £10bn because the always-wrong OBR changed their mind last November, we can find £10bn to get people’s bills down today.”

"If I can find £1.57 down the back of the sofa when I tidied the living room yesterday, I can find £1.57 down the back of the sofa today."

It's actually profoundly similar to the way that eugenicist anti vaccine organisations worked to disrupt messaging around COVID (and previously MMR)

I’m increasingly finding that the digital world is more intrusive than enabling.
Even ‘simple’ instructions for new products are written in a language I don’t understand. You could say I have low digital literacy. And I would say ‘design your products with people like me in mind’

The party literally born of misogyny dies on #InternationalWomensDay

We got a small win.

Maybe we should be clearer. Jobs aren’t at risk from AI. They’re at risk from amoral shitbag short term spec capitalists using AI against a weakly unionised workforce and broken government.

Good morning, honey. x

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.

This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

What's the difference between Vietnam and Iran?

Trump had a plan for getting out of Vietnam....

Ok this is *fantastic.* I was wondering if the edit would capture just how tense these matches are, and the editors got it exactly right. 💯

The production value is ridiculously good, too. Feels like this should be on Netflix!

lol, wat?!

I'm not afraid.

Fuck 'em. If they're so ideologically opposed to paying tax that they'd rather literally sit under falling bombs than accept their social responsibility like 90% of the rest of society, then let them. Fuck 'em.

Best way forward for Iran would be negotiated settlement, says Starmer PM defends decision not to join initial US-Israeli strikes and says UK is doing ‘everything we can’ to de-escalate situation

Was Starmer in a cave when Israel and the USA unilaterally killed the entire Iranian leadership and a school of girls... half way through the last negotiations?

Killing children in order to liberate them. It's certainly a view...albeit one which only a deranged sociopath might hold.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Proud to meet four heroes in Parliament today. Sandie Peggie, the Darlington Nurses and Jennifer Melle. They have shown tremendous courage and bravery in challenging a warped ideology and a culture of virtue signalling that rewards institutional cowardice. Thankfully, the tide is

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Our Home Affairs Select Committee report on the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban has been published. An extraordinary and unjustified decision that exposed serious failures within West Midlands Police.

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid My column in the Herald on Sunday: the Scottish grooming gangs inquiry is welcome. We must also confront how our third sector has become institutionally corrupted to the point where it sides with SNP ministers instead of standing with women and girls

Joani Reid MP @JoaniReid Follow The SNP are taking the biscuit. They chose to turn Glasgow into sanctuary for asylum seekers through their own virtue-signalling policies, and now they want the Home Office to bail them out.

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

Cathy Newman @cathynewman BREAKING on @TimesRadio : we’ve unearthed social media posts by a senior officer at the MHRA, the regulator overseeing the puberty blockers trial. 4:49 PM · Feb 27, 2026 · 39.2K Views Relevant View quotes Replying to @cathynewman and @TimesRadio No file chosen Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h Posts expressing gender critical views and mocking trans supporters appeared on the X account of Prof Jacob George, MHRA’s chief medical and scientific officer, who was only appointed last month Cathy Newman @cathynewman · 1h His account has now been deleted and the MHRA told us the Prof had been recused from the trial. Stay tuned…

No one will be shocked that overtly anti-trans officials have been appointed to the MHRA puberty blockers trial.

What is shocking is actual journalism being done to uncover them, and that when uncovered they've been removed.

An important step in the right direction.
