β€˜Lack of class’: Quentin Tarantino hits back at Rosanna Arquette over Pulp Fiction N-word criticism Director rounds on actor, who acted in the cult film, saying he feels disrespected, and claiming cynical reasons behind her recent comments

I've enjoyed some of QT's films, but anyone who thinks he's NOT a proper bell-end hasn't been paying attention for 30 years. #QuentinTarantino

And he wants "esprit de corps between artistic colleagues" after ripping Paul Dano? Seriously Quentin, fuck off.

Ex-Liberal MP says the party must introduce gender quotas to start winning elections Jenny Ware says party is β€˜at crisis point’ and cannot be competitive at election time unless it selects candidates who better reflect the makeup of Australia

Gender quotas aren't the answer. They need a fuckwit quota, and it needs to be a MUCH smaller number than the present threshold. #LNP #auspol

Gravelly and loamy are the most common descriptors, which is why Margs is the King (and I will not hear otherwise) of Cabernet in Australia, and the Bordeaux varieties as a whole. Its Chardonnays are equally world class. For Shiraz and Riesling, you need to head further into the Great Southern.

I no longer drink, but if I did, I'd defend Merlot with a bottle of Blue Poles Reserve Merlot (Margaret River). That'll show you what this much maligned varietal can really do.

Backlash mounts to Bafta N-word controversy as Jamie Foxx and Wendell Pierce criticise outburst Foxx calls Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson’s shouts at the film awards ceremony β€˜unacceptable’, while Sinners’ production designer criticises Bafta’s β€˜throwaway’ apology

The word in question is unquestionably offensive, but Jamie Foxx and Wendell Pierce are clearly both idiots who've got a below-moron level understanding of Tourette's Syndrome. To say that 'he meant it' or that 'how' it was said 'doesn't matter' is dumb as fuck.

I’m miles away. Not my vote. But just based on shutting my eyes and listening, it’d be Talarico for me. He has better words. I don’t care that he’s religious - I care if he’s decent. I get that vibe.

The pic of the year thus far. And hard to beat, too, unless I see one of Trump in handcuffs or dead on the toilet. It's a meme that doesn't even need words.
