Watched 'Steve' with Gillian Murphy last night. One of those intensely claustrophobic movies (see also 'Boiling Point'), which follows a man who's no longer in control of the world around him. Great film, but there's too much in it that looks really familiar to my life right now. 😩

This is...utterly bizarre.
Reporter: “Are you affirming that you think Trump is a fascist?”

Trump: “That’s ok, you can just say it.”

Mamdani: “Yes.”

Reasons why Bristol is better than Bath #1,027:

Bristol has the decency to restrict all the posh twats to the small area of Clifton. Bath, meanwhile, let's them wander about across the whole city.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

A High Court judge has forced a six-year-old girl to keep the surname of the man who raped her mother. We think this is an outrage and are putting together a legal team so D's mother can take her case to the European Court of Human Rights.

This is a new low from a govt plumbing the depths of performative cruelty in hopes that the public won’t notice they have no answers to the real issues facing this country

It's a revealing moment...

J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.

The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

Below are two videos showing the White House vs Waldorf Astoria renovations. Can someone knowledgable about the relevant trades breakdown what it took to do each one? What was the process? How much human skill and craftsmanship were involved?
