If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
And like _that_, Charlie Brown - he's gone.
And like _that_, Charlie Brown - he's gone.
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her, Charlie Brown.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.

I feel like there's a subtle distinction to be drawn between 'challenging orthodoxy' and 'spreading baseless disinformation that will lead to further suffering and death'.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Zelensky is way too sensible to propose the terms he must surely want in his heart.
Russia to fuck right off, out of Donbas AND Crimea.
Return of all kidnapped Ukrainian children.
Massive reparations.
Finland to be given St. Petersburg.
(The last one is just to wind up Putin.)

If you're idly contemplating who to vote for in a UK general election (in probably _four years' time_)...
... And you find yourself thinking, of a particular party, "Yes, but surely they do have some redeeming features..."
... They do! But the fact you have to ask the question is a bad sign.

Someone do a poll on how many people want to expel Floella Benjamin from the House of Lords, go on.
Lucy White advocates a ban on "non-natives" from office, citing Rishi Sunak and Priti Patel.
So she is referring to UK-born ethnic minority citizens. (Her argument would apply equally to Shabana Mahmood, Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman and others)
Lucy White continues to be a GB News regular

I often see people saying we have to be careful about using the term evil. But fuck it, if you support a policy that brings potential harm to a vulnerable minority or just makes their everyday life extremely difficult I'm going to call it how I see it. It's YOU that needs to take a look at yourself.

BA Baracus of The A-Team was clearly a renegade Time Lord, exiled to Earth for a crime he didn't commit.
I just learned that the Master in Doctor Who was given that name because, like the Doctor, it's an academic title.
This strongly suggests that The Graduate takes place in the Whoniverse, and Dustin Hoffman's misfortunes are those of a displaced very junior Time Lord.

It's politics, Jim, but not as we know it.

I'm watching Vera Danilina play Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone having so much fun playing a classical guitar.
It's the equivalent of watching Katelyn Ohashi. She's very good, but her joy in her skill is as compelling as the skill itself.
