“Inventor of the QR Code”
- Opening scene shows a person inventing the QR code
- Rest of the film is a flashback to how the person invented the QR code
The rest writes itself. Let's get this into production ASAP.

I do not think that the president as head of the executive has the capability or capacity to plan and implement a widespread voter intimidation or suppression campaign in advance of the 2026 midterms. But I also think he intends to do so. This is a man who is immune to your human logic.

I literally had to sit an exam to be allowed to live here. But that doesn’t immunize me against Bucksplaining, clearly
In the UK (and modern Europe in general), the royal family is a figurehead with very little overt political influence on paper.
In the British system, the prime minister is the equivalent of “president” in USA.
The sitting royalty behaves somewhat as a 2nd secretary of state with permission.

AI filmmaking is completely unserious.
You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.
When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

🧵What is going on with Measles in England?
UKHSA has reported 96 confirmed measles cases since 1 Jan 2026, concentrated in London (64% of cases) and the West Midlands (26% of cases).
But what does this all mean? Is 96 a lot? Why is it happening? And what can we do about it? 1/8
