Jack Lowden (Slow Horses) acts and looks JUST like Simon Pegg. He's like an action hero version of Simon Pegg. Pegg is still funnier, but the delivery is almost the same. It's wild.

More games like HARDSPACE: SHIPBREAKER please. Anyone wanna collab on something like this? I wanna write a pro-union space opera where the gameplay is taking apart space stations and uncovering the evils of the company you work for.

- This should be treated in the same way as the Nationals formally rejecting vaccination as a tool for fighting disease
- The most material impact of this will be even further reducing scrutiny on the party that has not formally dumped NZ but has done so in spirit

I really wish we could make the necessary and important point about how much hateful Islamophobia is being directed at Mamdani without saying, "Actors could never get away with saying it about the Jews!"
Because, you know, Mel Gibson still gets plenty of work.

Many of the people I’m in touch with on Gaza are desperate to be able to continue their education.
Please do help Mahmoud by donating and/or sharing. He’s in need of $650 to pay his brother’s fees so he can carry on studying.

Begging book publishers to stop doing shit like this.
Why do you make books different sizes even though they're stylistically the same? Why swap whether author or book title comes first? Why change the cover style and size of books WITHIN THE SAME SERIES??

My friend wrote an amazing piece about why starving Gaza and refusing to allow aid in is against Jewish law and is a moral & ethical crime. It's very worth your time!

It sucks that Nadav Lapid gets ostracized by the pro-Palestine movement for being Israeli by birth — his movies are arguably the most brutal, haunting, and unflinching critiques of Israel ever committed to celluloid
