Do you all know the joys of the Danish Voice Actor for Starscream in the original Transformers cartoon? I promise you aren't ready for it.

Me to same owl handler: "Owls are super wise, right? They read loads of highbrow Russian literature and stuff, don't they?"
Owl handler: "No, they actually have very tiny brains, due to the hugeness of their eyes. In reality they are one of the thickest animals you could ever meet."

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

Badenoch and zahawi seem to think they're somehow immune from racism because they're being racist but it doesn't work that way. You're never one of the good ones to these people. You fucking tools.

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Oh yeah, that's a bit good. There's literally no way I can afford it, but, *damn*. I don't like the sword and can't quite figure why except it should be red and bigger and cooler, and I know that's not really the brief but still.

The coldest of cold Madame Web takes: does Dakota Johnson even want to be an actress? Why is she even pretending to be one? Like, was being a nepo-baby just so much easier than anything else that she just sort of backed into it?
