Copywriter, husband, cat dad, hopeless nerd. Trying to get fit in my forties so there'll probably be a lot of that.

Okay, time I come clean after four years.
The introduction to the SS painting guide I did which contained what is apparently a trigger phrase, 'The Nazis were the bad guys,' was bait.
It worked exactly as planned; this is *the* most disliked of any of my videos.
Let me at last elaborate.

It's probably about time I revisited this, maybe did Erbsenmuster as well. Make sure to include a brief introduction that makes everybody mad as hell because they hear half of it and their brains stop working and proceed to yell at me, essentially quoting me back. XD

Probably about my 7th or 8th rewatch. At 90 mins it is a perfect length to just stick on & honestly it is one of my all time favourite war movies.

it might seem surprising that the people who said “look, let trans people live their lives, but i have Reasonable Concerns about sports and toilets” aren’t up in arms about this, but what you have to remember is that those people who said that are liars who were lying

Lithgow saying that a family friend with a trans kid came to him and literally said “please don’t do this” and he did it anyway really gives the game away. they don’t not know
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

Heaven forbid the deadly serious matter of determining which woman is best in the world at moving heavy stuff be in any way undermined by a trans woman doing well in it. Also, feels more than a little scummy that she was 'found out' when 'adult pics & vids' were 'leaked' to the other competitors 🙄

So a judge found that Linehan saying “Go away groomer”, "Go away you disgusting incel" and “sissy porn-watching scumbag” to a trans woman before smacking her phone out of her hand and smashing it 'was not a hate crime or based on hostility to Ms Brooks’ trans gender identity.'

I disagree - there are a number of very simple solutions to the small boats 'crisis', such as allowing asylum seekers to apply for asylum online or arrive by air or ferry, but that assumes that the crisis is the boats themselves and not millions of people being uncomfortable with non-white people.
What will Labour do when its asylum reforms don’t work?

First film I had been to see at the cinema since I was very small. First time I got to watch a movie that was 'cool' at the same time as my peers. First movie where I read the tie-in novel (before I saw the movie actually & it was EXCELLENT) & still, imo, the single best TMNT media ever made.

EU investing €546 billion for high speed rail by 2040
E.g. Lisbon to Warsaw, from 38 hours today to 12 hours
Pricing to compete with low cost flights
Reduce emissions by 80%

Graham Linehan will, in years to come, be a perfect textbook example of how getting swept up in extremist subcultures rots the brain & ends up turning a person's entire life upside down while they still keep blaming their misery on whatever minority their cult of choice is targeting.

A movie you've seen more than seven times in a gif? LOL, I spent years of my life as an undiagnosed ADHD, I am likely also autistic & I grew up with few friends, parents who hated me & next to no social life. I have seen MANY movies more than 7 times. But to play along I will start with the obvious

Modern Who is a mess because it is mostly trying to replicate the feelings the writers had about it when they watched it as youngsters back in the day. Exacerbating this is the simple fact that we have been treated to a series of excellent lead actors bogged down by inconsistent scripts.
Tell me your most unhinged Doctor Who opinion. I mean, if you’re a fan, they’re likely all unhinged anyway.
