I once did a job interview with it on the bookshelf behind me and noticed 2 minutes after I logged off Got the job tbf

That book really desperately needs a “cover you can read in public” edition

With the expanded format Oceania now has a World Cup slot, which is why Australia originally joined Asia. I wonder if they’re thinking about coming back, pwning some islands, collecting a trophy every few years and not every really worrying about qualifying again, while playing trans Tasman derbies

It’s super male (my flatmate was the only woman of 78 in a competition she entered last year) but no they always seem hilariously eager to get new people into it

I don’t just mean starmtroopers, my mum was describing him as “promoted beyond his abilities” in 2025 and was happy Burnham took over, but till the end she just seemed disappointed, whereas she viscerally hated Blair and Clegg after the respective departures from her own lib left views

This is actually a compliment, it’s clearly a political asset that people personally liked him, but they did

He is the politician of my lifetime people who *didn’t support him and would call him a bad PM* most strenuously objected to the idea he was bad person I think

The real Bluesky bubble is people with such academic/niche/sophisticated/weird (delete appropriately) cultural tastes they genuinely think Zendaya being raped and then beheaded, graphically, on screen, is a thing that was ever going to happen in a summer blockbuster movie my parents have seen

But yeah even though dark knight famously (if you were a kid in 2008) pushes the very very top edge of a 12/PG-13 rating we never actually see the pencil go through that guy’s eye

Harvey Dent’s face and the woman (his daughter lol)’s skin burning off in the nightmare in Oppenheimer

Amazing testament to the most aggressively friendly customer service I have ever encountered. I’m not really a participant but friends are and I’ve been in the shops and I always feel like I’m being recruited for Scientology

There’s a chicken egg thing going on with big fridges where afaict Americans do now just think it’s a pain in the arse to go to the shop more than once a fortnight than it is to drive half an hour but then stock up like a nuclear bunker and not need more food for ages

Also it’s just quite funny bc a) he’s made her a LOT of money, her book sold a million copies this year b) he’s been very nice about year c) they’re both Brits in America who geek out about the odyssey and mention each other in the media I think everyone assumed they knew each other somewhat

I think the confusion before lies in everyone (including Nolan) realising he and her have similar views on literary Odysseus and therefore assuming she’d be on board with this attempts to modernise, when it turns out no, she wants to acknowledge the poem is very harsh but leave it very harsh

…to openly acknowledge it and also somewhat soften it Which is exactly what you’d expect from an academic and a populist filmmaker

I think it’s weirdly vicious in places and she does just misremember several plot points of the film, but fundamentally her and Nolan agree on the analysis of the poem (Odysseus is a war criminal) and she foregrounds that by using blunt language in translation, and he changes the plot…

Not exactly a comprehensive survey but off the top of my head do Restore have more celebrity supporters than Reform?

Frequency is pretty similar but Zack does appear to have a healthy sleep schedule

Get a polestar and enjoy the serene centrism of a Sweden-China joint venture presumably being simultaneously the most and least corrupt automaker on the market

Wouldn’t they just be like “oh shit Tony was right about the electorate/oh shit Tony really did kill the Labour Party and wear its skin” depending on their ideology?
