When it came out, I felt The Force Awakens cut world-building corners to repeat A New Hope, but 10 years on, its depiction of a world where embittered fanboys lean into totalitarianism and extremely recent history has been forgotten (if not repressed) seems prescient. My bad, JJ Abrams.

A Christmas Carol is a story about how children suffer and die from treatable illnesses because the wealthy choose to keep them in poverty.
It also correctly notes that the only thing a rich bastard fears is the inevitably of death.
It even has Muppets in it. Truly Dickens' most timeless work.

Tim Burton: We open on a newborn baby boy
WB: Aww
TB: No. The baby is ugly. He kills and eats a house cat while it's still alive. His parents try to kill him in his crib, but to Gotham's woe, they fail
WB: ...
TB: Also it's a Christmas movie

I guess I'll be cancelling my @netflixuk.bsky.social subscription in January when Star Trek leaves since that was the only thing worth keeping it for.

Heating has become unaffordable.
All the jobs are Minimum Wage.
The screws are only turned on you so billionaires can become trillionaires

Why were the Nazis called the National Socialists?
Because Adolf Hitler rose by infiltrating the Labour Union movement.
He replaced their Left Wing ideas with Racism and Nationalism, but never bothered to change the name.

I think we all agree it would now be a good time to hear some good news for the first time in ages that would really cheer us all up.
Like when Doctor Who is coming back or the next Bond film is coming out, maybe?
Right?

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.
