I recall some younger folks at work saying they didn't watch films made before 2000 and getting annoyed.
But I would argue similar to somebody hating on all modern films. Some brilliant films are still getting made.

I just saw another "Why Modern Movies Look Bad" video, full of clips from Jurassic World and the MCU. Maybe people could try watching good films?

Always think these sorts of stats are a little misleading. Much more likely to rest Salah for easier fixtures in past seasons.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Another 55mins of Farage carried live by BBC and Sky, in which he rambled for twice as long as briefed, and yet managed to say little of substance.
Why can broadcasters not simply give us 3mins of the low-lights after the event, as they would do with most other politicians? ~AA

Quoting ourselves here, but it’s absolutely insane to us that anyone still uses Twitter. You don't have to. You can just stop. It was a *massive* part of our growth but you can just let it go. However important your business is to you, it's less important than this:
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"
"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"
"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

Finally caught up on traitors. Cat's table speech felt brutal but I think was really smart. She was able to do that and stay consistent with her previous Fry votes, and also indicate to Alan which way she was gonna go. #celebritytraitors

Elon Musk is once again inciting violence on British streets because the government has taught him there are literally no consequences for doing so.
They even carry on using his far-right social network to promote government policy as he does it. The absence of backbone is *astounding*.
