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.

The Dáil has heard a suggestion that Dublin Airport be named after the former Taoiseach Sean Lemass.

Any counteroffers?

I'm interested but it is pretty funny to offer a "radical new take" for a franchise where every entry are pretty different from each other.

1. Return of the Jedi

2. The rest, who cares?

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”
So, we asked Pritzker to weigh in on the go-to debate for every "Star Wars" nerd: Which movies are the best? Here's his ranking of the 11 major films in the series: 1. "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) 2. "Star Wars" (1977) 3. "Return of the Jedi" (1983) 4. "Rogue One" (2016) 5. "The Last Jedi" (2017) 6. "Revenge of the Sith" (2005) 7. "The Force Awakens" (2015) 8. "Solo" (2018) 9. "The Phantom Menace" (1999) 10. "Attack of the Clones" (2002) 11. "The Rise of Skywalker" (2019)

The "was Nigel Farage a racist in school?" stuff baffles me a little. Like, he is clearly a racist now, what do we gain from this?

My thoughts on stuff like this is that if it's sufficiently bad for people under 16 to ban it, it should be banned for everyone.
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d
Malaysia plans to bar children under the age of 16 from social media starting next year, with a close eye to how Australia implements and enforces a similar ban that takes effect next month. Here's what to know.
Malaysia to Ban Children Under 16 From Social Media, Echoing Australia
The announcement on Sunday, which was light on details, came weeks before a similar action takes effect in Australia.

Wedging the kitchen drawer shut was only the start of its reign of terror.
the cover of a pulp novel called The Long Spoon by J.B. O'Sullivan. Spoiler: it's not actually about cutlery (I haven't read it but am guessing this). It's a reference to the saying that if you sup with the devil, you need a long spoon.

I feel conflicted here as international medicine is clearly going through a crisis, but I also simply refuse to return to the I F*cking Love Science era of the internet.

RIP Udo Kier, a man of many strange and wonderful roles but I'll always think of him turning up surprisingly in the music video for Eve's Let Me Blow Ya Mind.

i'm obsessed with this Kliban
line drawing cartoon by B Kliban. a man wearing a suit sitting at a desk extends his hand to shake the hand of another man in a suit standing before the desk. the sitting man says, "It's a deal then. you'll make three dollars every time you think of a chicken, and a dollar extra if it's a brown one!" the standing man smiles and says, "thank you sir! I hope the company will be proud of me!" the standing man thinks to himself, "wow! I should be able to think of at least four chickens a day, and that's fourteen dollars, not even counting brown ones!"
