Scathing review of 'Is This Thing On?' by Gráinne Maguire, but I'm still looking forward to seeing the film. The portrayal of stand-up comedy may have its flaws but I recall Arnett saying the focus of the film is human (married/divorced) relationships...
Grainne Maguire brilliantly confirms my suspicions about Is This Thing On. The former stand-up in me was whispering in my ear “That looks pish” grainnemaguire.substack.com/p/five-thing...
Five things the film “Is This Thing On?” gets wrong about the world of stand up.
Stand-up comedy is not about constantly talking about your feelings; if it was-why would straight men be so successful at it?

I compare here the rapid downfall of Johnson after Partygate with what might happen to Trump, when the scales finally fall from, and even his most addled supporters realize they’ve been backing a sleazy, shifty, corrupt crook. It will take longer and be harder in the US, but at least it’s a start….
🔴Trump’s Downfall Will Come Much Quicker Than Anyone Thinks
The growing backlash against ICE’s killing of Alex Pretti will be a turning point in public opinion towards the President, predicts @alexhh.bsky.social

Ukraine plans to produce over 7 million drones in 2026, the Defense Ministry says. Officials say drones have already created a strike zone up to 20 km deep, with the next goal to extend it to 100 km by hitting Russian targets in operational depth. #Ukraine

The Reform meltdown over Zack Polanski having fun in a club is pretty funny on one hand, but tragic on the other.
Do they just sit at home scrolling their phones going “argh, look at all these people having a good time, it makes me so damn angry, I’m gonna tweet about it 😡” ?
Have a day off lads.

So Trump doesn’t understand that Denmark is not Norway or that Norway as a country does not give out the Nobel Peace Prize.
A cognitive test he couldn’t pass is “Name the eight wars you think you ended.”
This is all so dangerous, deranged, and stupid.

Yup. This is what's so ridiculously stupid - we know the US is untrustworthy, but we keep handing them the keys to more and more of our infrastructure, defence, tech, personal records etc etc...
Why????????.

Palantir was a warning sign.
Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment.
All in the name of "investment." What about national security?
