This website has been my ‘trusted film review’ site for some years.
I find it a lot more reliable than some of the well known film reviewers in the UK.

‘You should work 9am to 9pm, six days a week.’ Says some Silicon Valley wanker.
If the money is very very good I’m sure most people would be happy to work long hours for a few years.
But most people don’t work for tech thieves or investment banking crooks.

I apologise for posting a Torygraph article but I thought it might be amusing to broadcast their guide on how to become a sad bastard.

If anyone has useful information on this MAGA couple wanted by the UK police for possible racial abuse and assault, please report them.
Philip Ostermann and Melissa Rein Lively.
The latter applied for Trump’s Press Sec, but couldn’t be seen over the podium.

Trump’s assault on truth is astounding. And media outlets are surrendering.
But the public know Trump:
1. Was a Russian puppet.
2. Did betray his country.
3. Did incite the insurrection.
4. Is a pedophile.
5. Is a thief.
Trump will not win.

Interest rates forecast to be cut more heavily. What good news for mortgage holders!
Oh, but wait, job losses are getting worse and job prospects getting fewer. So people might have no job to pay that reduced mortgage.
Meanwhile shares at record high.
Who’s feeling rich?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

After less than 3 weeks the wanker Sarkozy walks out of prison.
Meanwhile, wankers like Johnson, Gove, Hancock and King Wanker, Trump, don't even get near prison.
It's a fucked world we live in.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Very few rich people like to spend their money helping others. And almost none of the super rich.
Becoming rich requires a lot of hostility or aggression towards other people so it‘s not a surprise.
It’s naive to expect these type of people will help others. And foolish to vote for them.

Let Me Down Easy is song title used by various artists. Different songs. Different artists.
This one was written by Cy Coleman, (who wrote The Best is Yet To Come) with lyrics by Carolyn Leigh.
It was written for a musical version of a Neil Simon play, The Heartbreak Kid, which was never made.
