A not insignificant amount of conservatives spend their lives online labelling political opponents predators, when the call coming from inside the house is ringing off the hook
NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But @propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Beauty and AI are inherently incompatible imo, there’s just no way both can exist in the same space
It’s all total bullshit. Stop listening to corporate liars and charlatans. Be the boy who dared tell the emperor he was naked

Almost everything I’ve seen written about Die My Love is like the writer watched a quarter of the movie. Wouldn’t let reviews guide you on this one, needs to be felt personally and fully.

I'm gonna say it: playing the Celebrity Traitors like 'they wouldn't make Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry both traitors' isn't in the spirit of the game. You should think like a faithful, not a producer.

Rewatched Last Night in Soho hoping it'll have aged well but it hasn't! It kinda stinks! Love the performances, how it looks, the setting, the vibe, the soundtrack, but the story gives me one big almighty ick.

Part of the grim UK political landscape is the waiting. Reform will win the next election, but it’s years away. They’ll lose the following one because the pendulum will swing back to the centre. But we have to actually go through it all. Why can’t we just skip to that bit?

Because as we all know, radicalisation only happens when you use your phone at school.
On Brianna's 19th birthday, this morning I joined @cheshirepcc.bsky.social and the Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Phone Free Education campaign at the launch at Jodrell Bank of a new £150k initiative to make Cheshire the first county in the UK where ALL state high schools have lockable phone pouches.

I’d have thought the blank slate would be a treat for screenwriters. You can do whatever you want! He doesn’t need put back together, he just needs a new story.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
