“Alan Carr needs to stop doing so much on The Traitors, he’s going to give himself away” would you tell the bird to stop singing? The flower to stop blooming?

This administration is a dull-minded, paranoid, gullible old man surrounded by twenty cranks, thousand-year-reich zealots, and single-issue lunatics, all with phones, running around saying, "Show him this! He'll like this! Make sure he sees this!"

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

I love that the dramatic engine of the first setpiece of The Celebrity Traitors is the question “can Alan Carr be subtle?”

Same thing applies to Sinners but I do think that was at least a film people talked about a bit here.

I hate to turn every film conversation into soulless awards season prognostication but I do wonder what these means for its Oscar chances with an increasingly international Academy. People seem to be treating it as axiomatic that its a frontrunner.

I think it's bad that we allow financiers operating out of the gulf states to run massive private propaganda operations designed to undermine British democracy and stir up racial hatred
