Oh no, I’m so sorry for your loss. Parkin (and your posts) always made me smile.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Even beyond the sexism, I don’t think I could imagine having the gall to essentially write “these highly paid individuals treasured by their companies are a bunch of imbeciles for not understanding that Donald Trump will achieve his international aims within days. I’m much cleverer than them.”

0.0109 because I discovered about a quarter of the way in there was a huge finger mark on the left side of the screen that overwhelmed some of the results. Oops.

Even for them this is beyond embarrassing. I'm sorry you've never heard of Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Wolf Alice, you fucking weirdos

You can’t make me do what you tell me

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden.

The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite.

The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

Sadly, I can’t make a better joke one than JJ Abrams’ entry, “Rey Skywalker.”

No, much better to be otters, like Scotland.

I have no idea who that is; someone from Ahsoka, which I bounced off after two? episodes.

After all this it’s going to be “Brian Palpatine” or something, isn’t it.

I did not see THAT coming. Stephen Toast as Oscar announcer. "Now, Lady Ga-GAAAH!"

Legends?

I think my real point is that this all feels like the cinematic finale to a series of shows I’ve not seen half of, and so it can wait.

That’s kind of different, because at that time there wasn’t a Clone Wars show I watched one film and three episodes of before deciding I couldn’t face any more.

I’ll watch it, after it hits D+. But I’m so very far behind with Star Wars stuff that catching up feels like homework.

I get that you all have a lovely time watching Rebels. I do. But I really, really cannot be arsed to go to a cinema if it’s going to be this full of callbacks to stuff I’ve never seen.

If we're so desperate to have a banknote with the picture of the chap who helped us win WW2, maybe we should go with....

Just out of curiosity, because I guess the real answer is “both”, is “actress” in quotes because this bunch of pixels isn’t a person, or because despite their desperate trolling of the press it hasn’t been in a film yet?

But Kemi never makes gaffes; she told us herself.

Anxiety not actually felt by their working age children or communities? No, they’re just parroting the racism they’re fed.

I can’t help feeling that there’s Quite A Lot to read into Larry cashing in a whole load of AI investments to buy a struggling film studio famous for causing its previous buyers trouble.

Like, even Warner are a safer home for cash than what he thinks OpenAI will do in 12 months.

Have we considered putting the US in a small box and dumping it at the bottom of the ocean, for the good of the planet?

Oh, if only there was a language that I could count in that would make me feel better.

The best. The absolute best.

It’s what happens when you’ve created an alt account after your original one got banned from Bluesky for spamming every single search result for people being mean to his client, sorry hero.

Oooh, that’s going on later, then.

The by-age makes it abundantly clear that the salience is coming from retired people, so it was never economic anxiety to start with.

Did she shoot it on location, and by location I mean Space?

It's not even that she is denying what she previously said, it's that she goes on to repeat it in the interview and still insist she doesn't mean what she is saying.

I’m mainly just massively applauding the “be proud of your digital use” stuff, but yes - the point about not using green screen isn’t some practical effects nonsense but more “make your production design decisions before you shoot.”
