I mean, yeah...its nice having the first footage of Nick Coutney on the show...But its not 'Underwater Menace Episode 4'...And that profoundly upsets me.

In fairness, im exactly the same when it hits 5:25. It's 'Newsround' time. I don't think that's been the case for over 20 years π€£
I do find it fascinating, the idea that there are people in positions of power right now who are somehow certain they can 'trick' the return of Jesus by purposfully doing the things that'll make it happen. Like he wont come back and immediately thanos them for being assholes.
Just heard that Neil Sedaka passed away, and incredible man with an amazing lifestory. A kind and gentle soul, who truely lived and loved his art till the end.

Remember when parties who lost elections used to be like "This is a strong message from the electorate and we will listen and learn and change" rather than "Fuck everyone who didn't vote for us, you're all extremists trying to destroy Britain"

Essentially. It's honestly pretty nuts. π
Until more information comes out, its all a bit up in the air, but if this does go further, i'd strongly advise writing to your MP to table repealing it. Because they tried this years ago when the 'Nasties' were a thing, and innocent people REALLY got hurt. We cant let that happen again.
I dont think an argument could be made that real incest porn is A-okay. It obviously isnt. But like their recent ban on 'choking' and Theresa Mays ban on 'Squirting' in pornography. This proposal is going to punish people simply for watching actors portray a concept. and thats kind of insane to me.
A few years ago, I reviewed the 'Taboo' movies on the channel, they're literally films featuring Incest Simulation as a main theme. And under this proposed bill, I could get anywhere from 2-5 years in prison for doing so, simply for owning Vinegar Syndromes bluray releases and talking about them.
The Kiss in 'Empire Strikes Back?' Technically that counts. 'Game of Thrones?' thats gone, 'White Lotus'? gone too...I mean shit, 'Peter Rabbit' has a book where two 'cousin' rabbits get married and are 'prosperous'...
From my understanding of the ammendment being tabled, its vague enough that this will in essence ban ANY simulated incest sequence in any visual medium in the UK. Why is this a problem? Because if the video nasties era taught us anything, its that the police can and WILL misunderstand the brief.
I cant find another source talking about this other than Ladbible (the most reliable source on the internet I know...) But if this IS being tabled through parliament at the moment, things are about to get VERY messy...VERY quickly...

The only exception to this, is the currently growing problem of billionairs and trillionairs being SO rich, they can sustain the economy single handedly.
In that scenario, Apples can cost five pounds and it won't matter that 80% of the population can't buy them, because Musk can afford the lot.
If an apple costs a pound currently, and 80% of the work force only make 25p. They arnt going to keep apples at a pound in value. They'll have to lower the price to make it affordable for the consumer, or they won't sell any apples.
A fine enough article, but it falls into the same pit a lot of these articles do, which is assuming that prices of goods will continue to rise if everyone in the country more or less has a significant pay cut. Which it won't.

Posting movie stuff feels so utterly trivial right now.
comic: when it happens I hope people ring bells and blow horns. if I'm asleep I hope to be woken. I won't mind. if I'm in traffic I hope to see revelers. If it causes a traffic jam I won't mind. I don't want to exist a moment not knowing that it has happened.
