Will the Beatles industry ever let it be?
I love the band. But this incessant anthologising, dismantling and rebuilding is straining things

Technically, it's "Argos don't sell only toys" anyway.

"I like the Pope, the Pope smokes woke."
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

Like everyone, I'm baffled by this - but I think with a tweak it could have worked. I don't do my Christmas shopping at Argos, not because I think they only do toys, but because it's where I'd buy a drill or a kettle, not a nice gift item. Maybe that's the perception they needed to break?
Why is Will from the Inbetweeners* doing a TV advert spreading awareness that Argos sells more than just toys? Of course it does, it’s Argos. I feel like there’s a whole cultural perception of Argos that’s passed me by

Tap II follows the best sequel path by being a different kind of movie to its parent film. See also Aliens and Terminator II.
