World-weary 50-something British geek, still trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up.

Recasting Newt would have been unpopular but killing her off was worse. Fincher made the best of a cursed production. As a conclusion to a Ripley-as-Cassandra trilogy it's a valid end to her tragic arc (although Resurrection undid that again) but it works best as a stand-alone monster movie IMO.

In what way would the name Mothercare "ignore the reality that not every mother is female"? Even the made-up argument makes no sense.

Maybe the right wingers are trying to get it rebranded as Fatherland, which I'm guessing would make them happy on multiple levels.

Same. To the point where I think the recent siding with the pro-foxhunting lobby is one of the few places where Farage and Badenoch have mis-stepped in their courting of the "traditional British patriot" vote. All of the most racist people I know never shut up about how much they love animals.

Odd that he feels the need to advocate for an alternate history novel when he's already at the heart of an alternate history government.

While in a decent society such revelations would put paid to Farage's ambitions to high office, or at least reduce his appeal to floating voters, I've met a worrying number who will see this as a positive.

"A strong leader who 'speaks the truth' and 'will sort THEM out.'"

Haters gonna hate.

When I first saw Idiocracy I noticed a definite point where it pivoted from satire to absurdity. Every time I've re-watched it since, every couple of years, that point has moved further into the movie. Before long I expect it'll disappear altogether and the whole thing will have become documentary.

I would say this is the most unhinged thing I could possibly imagine him saying, but then he keeps upping the bar. At this point I’m half expecting a Christmas Day message about Woke Antifa Jesus.

Pocket money. It won’t even touch the sides. I wouldn’t put it past Musk to send them €200m and tell them to keep the change.

So similar to Daniel Hannan's "moved by ancestral voices" article in the Spectator, it's almost as though they've all opened their copies of Foundations Of Geopolitics at the same chapter.

I wonder if Hannan is ever moved by ancestral Peruvian voices? Best check his playlist for panpipe music.

💥 This is the economic equivalent of a senior Vatican priest admitting the Pope is wrong about God.

Even the architects of Brexit are confessing the truth 👉while Farage still lies.
