Every Trump "truth" makes more sense if you read it in your head with a small child's voice like a Haribo advert.

It's fucking lazy and shows a distinct lack of both imagination and vocabulary.

Bonkers in fact.

Bessent continuing to impress absolutely no one who doesn't suffer from MAGA brain rot and even that's debatable.

Online why is everything a bit unusual/strange/peculiar etc just "wild"?

Did someone delete the ability of a large amount of people to use one of the many selection of words to describe something like that and just use wild instead?

Seems a bit lazy to me...

...unless it's all crap AI!

Oh no.

Chris Spargo has been doing some great stuff on things that you've possibly wondered about but never bothered to actually investigate yourself. The milk bottle labelling thing shouldn't be so interesting.

"The Keys" short film he did before his change of direction is really rather good.

I'm surprised he was polite!

Rather bizarre trying to get a person with a history like him to do anything but his own thing.

His BTTF trilogy posters iterating like they did was a work of genius.

A phenomenal talent.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Labour's constant tweaking to the immigration rules is like someone trying to make a thing work but somehow just making it worse.

Sometimes you need to step back and maybe start from scratch, maybe ask people who know what they're talking about first and ignoring the right wing press too?

What a bizarre response, Threads sounds as nice as the movie of the same name.

If you treat TRON: Ares as a really long music video with some good visuals (see it in 3D) it's actually quite watchable.

The plot is complete and utter nonsense though, not unusual for this franchise, however the Nine Inch Nails soundtrack is superb.

Starmer looking on wondering what charges he'd have pursued against Trump when he was the head of the CPS.

This is quite the take from CNN, the innocent bystanders are the people of Canada not anyone to their South.

Don't want to stereotype people (but I will) it's quite easy to spot those going to the local comprehensive school's annual model railway exhibition.
