Question on a repeat of The Chase about Julius Caesar during the Ides of March - good synchronicity

The Scottish edition of the Sunday Express newspaper published a front page article by Paula Murray on 8 March 2009, "Anniversary Shame of Dunblane Survivors",[1] which was critical of survivors of the Dunblane massacre, by then aged 18 and 19, for posting "shocking blogs and photographs of themselves on the Internet". The "shocking" content, read from the survivors' social networking pages, with Bebo being mentioned in the article, included colloquial language and some swearing, mentions of sex and alcohol and joking references to a confrontation (interpreted by the tabloid as a "boast" about "getting in fights") and to being a "Scottish terrorist" in London. The article received a great deal of negative attention given the tenuous grounds for making the attacks. Survivors and members of the public complained to the UK Press Complaints Commission.[2][3][4]

Today was the 30th anniversary of Scotland’s first and only school shooting, which is also a day to remember how a right-wing tabloid cyberstalked the survivors waiting for them to turn 18, in order to run a front page smear attack on them for…having grown up to be normal teenagers on the internet.

My friend&I play unusual/awkward single player games together, level & lifing. We needed a pallet cleanser and thought a fun shooting game would do the trick.

Jaysus was RE6 a hateful slog. Completed all four stories through nothing but sheer obstinate bloody mindedness. Astounded it was published

You wait ten years for one of your favourite musicals to come back, building it up to a place it can only disappoint.

And then it smashes it out of the park. I do miss some of the previous staging, but this American Psycho is both funnier and more sinister

I’d completely forgotten about DIC. Used to make my brother and me laugh at the end of every credits sequence.

We used to theorise it wasn’t actually French, that was just an excuse to pronounce it slightly differently to the obvious

A crusty roll with poppy seeds is excellent for a sausage bap. The ones that fall off are worth the sacrifice

At least they're just giving it their own chance. My mum's boyfriend has this annoying habit of always taking the opposite view of a critic. He once was dragged to a film 'the critics loved so it's probably boring'. Saw him a week later, he liked it and so now claimed 'the critics' hated it

A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says β€œthey’re having problems with their economy again.”

This is from 1975.

My friend is directing an amateur As You Like It at the moment and he’s fallen down a rabbit hole of debate about some lines in it which are believed to be jokes about a celebrity horse at the time. Similarly he’s trying to swap It to something for the same effect

I found it quite astounding how the recent Max Webster production missed loads of jokes, even ones that still do make sense - Ncuti completely threw away β€˜I don’t like dentists; they leave a false impression’.

But casting Sharon D Clarke as a Jamaican Aunty Bracknell worked seamlessly

Sad I can’t see it. I think a lot of people think Earnest is easy to do because the script is so funny but I’ve found the opposite. I’ve seen far more bad versions than good and I think it’s because directors struggle to keep control of all the jokes and plot. Hats off to you

Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?


TRUMP: You could say both

Someone I used to work with would crumble up a bunch of digestives and fill his cup of tea with them until it had become viscous, then pour in the semi-solid sludge. I wish he had the politeness to do it in private as you do
