Gervais can’t conceive of them knowing anything about the ‘real’ world because for him success means not having to interact with reality at all. Like is he saying that ‘in reality’ ICE isn’t doing these things? No. He’s just upset they’re ruining ‘celebrity’ by caring. Basically he’s just a cunt.

Gervais cited his own 2020 Golden Globes monologue, in which he urged winners not to use their acceptance speeches "as a platform to make a political speech."

Let's go further. Every medium sized British town should have a Roger's Child Porn Warehouse, packed to the rafters with CSAM made and sold by Roger himself. Then we can arrest anyone who buys it, let Roger keep the money and the porn, and hand him a knighthood for his services to policing.
Alex Norris explaining that the govt is passing legislation that means if someone asks Grok to produce an image of a woman in a bikini they will be committing a criminal offence. Whereas when it comes to taking action against X, we're told thats a matter for Ofcom not the govt.

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Guy in my office just watched anchorman for the first time. He’s literally doing lines from anchorman. In 2025. Everyone he does one to laughs, but with this sort of haunted look in their eyes. Like they’re being amused from beyond the grave

If you live in Britain, the 21st century for you has been relentless cruel political frauds, diving living standards, deteriorating infrastructure, closure of public services, lunatic moral panics, ludicrous corruption scandals and war crimes. What have the political class done to earn public trust?

This is something that might only make sense to people who live in East London, but no-one who owns their own house should be allowed to wear a blue, mid-century, French peasant’s chore jacket (you know the one I mean). Anyway, Fuck those fucks

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.
