Whatever your supposed nostalgic attachment to something you enjoyed as a child, if you as an adult haven't recognised how poor it is and moved on to much, much better things than honestly it's a fairly damning indictment of your critical thinking abilities at best...

Also it needs to be said more often that the HP series is objectively *not very good*

Full of poor writing, derivative ideas and bigoted stereotypes

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Re-watched The Sting recently after Redford died and was so struck by how fucking good it is and how nobody has done a better con movie despite so many attempts to crib off it!

When the fit has come together so good you have to do a little photoshoot for yourself

Probably shouldn't have been this close but credit to Olympiakos who looked like they might be overwhelmed in the first 10 minutes but made a real game of it

Still, job done - 6 points from 6 - and great to see Ødegaard looking like his old self again

I have the same jacket as Zack (Uniqlo represent), and I always enjoy him wearing it while dunking on the current Labour party

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social · 13d

The Labour Party are bought and paid for.

Lobbying, cash for access, vested interests. This is who they are.

It doesn't have to be this way.
