Comedians seem to be the AI of TV formats. They‘re going to be added to shows whether you like it or not.

Reform really cherry picked the brightest and best from the Tory front bench.
You couldn’t make this stuff up. Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman accidentally voted with Labour to abolish the two-child benefit cap tonight after entering the wrong lobby!

OK, this is great. Everything works. Bonus points for respecting the original arrangement and lyric (e.g. 'Marilyn French'). It may be from a junket but it's hardly a trifle and significantly more enjoyable than a blancmange. 🥁 #Pulp #ABBA www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wd1...

Apart from anything, pinning your argument to the choice of a specific word in a poem which is the product of the oral tradition in an ancient language, is a bit silly.
Just noticed a racist buffoon trying to claim you can't cast a Black woman as Helen of Troy because Homer uses the word "white" in reference to her once, and you can't disrespect Homer's words when adapting them.
Yet I notice he isn't complaining about the actors speaking English rather than Ionic.

“Just took 93yr Mum to the cinema, she's registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, "Which screen for Melanie?" A cheer went up from the standing crowds”
Kayleigh: My mom went to see Melania. She said the theater was packed, it was standing room only. People were cheering through it, they were excited. It was interactive—people interplaying with the film. She said it was just electric.

Must rewatch A Town Called Panic
This is one of my favorite optical illusions, because even when you know specifically HOW IT WORKS, it's still hard to make your brain believe it.
The image below is real-world video, but you're being tricked into believing it's an elaborate miniature by the DIORAMA EFFECT.
Let's talk about it.
