I’ve watched documentaries on both John Candy and Chevy Chase this weekend. The world would be a far better place with a lot more Johns and far less Chevys.

It’s been 7 hours since the news broke about Venezuela being bombed and its president kidnapped. Where the f*** is the global outrage or even the dems?!!

This is Christianity.
This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.
📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

Why are the British government not up in arms about this?!
ICE detained Katie, a British woman in the final stages of her green card process, while she was holding her 6 month old son.
She’s married to an American and was following the process, yet at her last immigration meeting they grabbed her.
She’s been detained ever since:

Enjoying Next Gen Chef but dear lord, how bad is the product placement BS? I thought Top Chef was the worse at this but apparently not.

This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every “Friday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.

Another awful human being trying to deflect his appalling behaviour with a medical diagnosis. Gregg Wallace saying “they had also failed to protect him, despite his likely neurodiversity” is so laughable. 20 years on TV despite the numerous complaints IS protecting you.
Oof, that BBC News report about Greggg Wallace. What's being described are a series of really serious sexual assaults. Knowingly enabled by production companies and the industry as a whole. And the more insecure the ents industry gets (very insecure rn, thanks for asking!) the more it'll get abused

In my opinion, people who lie about, and profit off those lies about illness (and recovery/treatment) have a very special place in Hell.

I know I’m being grump at the moment, but Kirstie Allsopp really grates on me. Her lack of awareness about her privilege remains quite mind blowing
Kirstie Allsopp was shocked to find no-one on the Tube and was magnificently schooled into the next carriage and beyond
