People look down their noses at the historical tales of heroes and gods as something primitive.
But much modern film is just as unreal.
Action films have people surviving ludicrous violence without a scratch. Superheroes save everyone in the last second. Disaster films with little true disaster

Dengar. A bounty hunter who appears to have an ill fitting bandage or turban around his head. And he has armour.
He was briefly seen in Empire Strikes back
R5-D4 a robot breifly seen at the start of A New Hope. It's like a boxier R2D2, but with red rather than blue highlights
I'm not kidding. I definitely had Dengar and R5-D4 figures in my collection.

Sounds like he's drawing all the Star Wars figures I had as toys in the 80sπ
I always used to get ones like "Bounty hunter 4" or "the robot from the line up at the start of ANH that wasn't picked by Luke's uncle, and was never seen again"

Unlock (microsoft) Teams Premium button that appears in the UI
What fresh hell is this?
Long experience has told me that once companies add another tier of usage, the "basic" level gets subtly enshittified over time.
Shame.

The late queen can be held responsible for much, but nobody could accuse her of seeming to enjoy her role. For the...
Nobody has ever been so lyrically yet thoroughly excoriated as in this piece. And yet, few people have ever deserved such a complete dismantling as the Prince formerly known as Andrew

I suspect he always had a strain of evangelical mission, but it used to all be into New Labour.
This actually came across to voters, I think at least a little bit, and contributed to his popularity.
The apparent lack of it is part of why Starmer struggles to connect.

For Iraq, the US put forward a case to UN for why they felt they needed to act
It was weak when you looked into it, but they tried to get allies on board, and the whole rationale was put abroad as well as domestically.
This administration just insults the UN and allies directly and doesn't care to

I'm not sure he has that much of a clue about the future that far. Or he cares.
I think this is just another example of him guessing what might trigger the reporters he is talking to into printing the headline he wants. He doesn't care about details, just headlines.

Difficult to tell isn't it from what we see, isn't it?
The bit at the end where he starts calling her questions bad is what tipped me over the edge to 'rude' from terminally awkward. But YMMV on how you see it, I guess
And as others have pointed out, he probably gets interviewers copying his shtick
