Aftersun completely destroyed me. Under all of the crushing melancholy is a daughter remembering a time her father loved her and tried his best on a holiday and I think that's beautiful.

You don’t actually have to both sides this. The Jewish community in the UK is not the Israeli government. You can just condemn the murder of two British Jews killed in their place of worship and you don’t have to say a single other thing.

Those who have claimed asylum from violence or trafficking or state persecution or war should not be spoken of as lottery winners.

Shame on Keir Starmer.

Someone scribbling anti-ICE on the bullets is like when Hedley Lamarr tells the goons to 'state your name' and they all say 'your name'

Hours after a shooting of ICE detainees, the FBI says “early evidence” of messages on the rounds are “anti-ICE in nature.”

Here is a picture FBI Director Kash Patel just tweeted of “the unspent shell casings recovered…engraved with the phrase ANTI ICE.”

The meta episode of Frasier where Niles takes over Frasier's radio show because Kelsey Grammer was back in rehab.

To even allow the appearance of this — Starmer’s No 10 adopting Trumpian media management policies — seems extraordinary to me. Very depressing.

If you watch the clip he doesn't mock Kirk's death at all, he mocks Trump's reaction to it (the ballroom thing). It's clear MAGA is now using Kirk's death as a wedge to shut down all mockery of Trump himself, which is pretty scary.

Senior TV executives initially supported Jimmy Kimmel in the hours before they switched course and made the stark decision to pull his show indefinitely.

Don't want to come across all Richard Dawkins about this but atheism is not a lack of belief.

Oh I see yes! Got the wrong end of the stick but sounds like we're largely in agreement.

Well the pretence was the norm, and a pretty grim norm, but my point is I don't even think that exists any more in a lot of cases. And that's going to embolden racists even more to be open about their racism.

Certainly looks like we scared the President away from Chicago. Fighting like hell works.

“They are a progressive city, and they don’t want the president’s help. That’s on them. It’s horrific that they don’t want President Trump’s help.”

“Chicago should be begging Donald Trump for help to keep Chicago safe,” Bondi added. “Yet, they aren’t so we’re going to go into a city who wants us there.”

And that's not to say mainstream parties didn't enact racist policies or have major issues with racist MPs/membership, but you at least had to *pretend* you despised violent racists who were rioting to intimate and attack people of colour, not concede ground to them.

There's been a real frog boiling shift on both sides of the Atlantic in the past few years from the mainstream political consensus being racism is bad and needs to be opposed' to 'it's complicated and no voices should be ignored' even if their only opinion is basically white people are superior.
