I used to think he just enjoyed trolling chstwitter, but he's not replying to anybody anymore, it's just pure venting. He actually believes all that shit.

Yeah, idk. Like, sure he comes across as an utterly unhinged racist conspiracy theorist, but he's also @jrmoockjr.bsky.social 's bestie, so maybe we should give him a chance?

I rewatched it during the pandemic and completely agree. Wonderful film, once you've lived some life. (And/but Nic Cage made some /choices/ with that voice)

My (American) daughter also has this shirt. I'm guessing she's one of not many Gen Z South Carolinians who knows who Arthur Scargill is.

I'd venture to say if you're on Bluesky, you'll love @scriblit.bsky.social 's 'Cursed Under London' - very funny, queer, fantasy/romance with a zombie Christopher Marlowe
(Gabby is also a writer on Horrible Histories, I believe, if you need another selling point)

Have you seen Joel's video dissecting just two minutes of one episode of The Simpson's? It's incredible stuff.

It's still hard to beat the 2018 US Men's Lacrosse roster for this. What a list!

Sometimes football is great. Last week Roma fans taunted Brighton by holding a sign saying 'The Queen Gave Blowjobs'. So, in the return leg today, Brighton responded with '[Roma icon]Totti Likes Pineapple on Pizza'

NO THERE ARE THREE OF THEM; THE ONE WHERE THE GUY IS YELLING AT THE GIRL AND THE ONE WHERE THE GIRL IS YELLING AT THE GUY WITH HER ARM AROUND HIM; AND ONE WHERE IT’S TRUMP AND THE KID WITH THE LAWNMOWER BUT THE SEMIOTICS OF THAT ONE ARE ALSO A LITTLE DIFFERENT SO IT’S REALLY MORE OF A SPECIAL CASE

Thank you so much. Not easy to catch haggis these days, thanks to the woke mob protecting them

This is wonderful, but made me think, Spike Milligan told a young Ade Edmondson he no longer watched comedy as he knew all the jokes (ie, how they work). Are you able to still enjoy it yourself?

I dunno, maybe I'm missing it, but it seems like pointing out when they do a hypocrisy doesn't shame them into doing a lil self-reflection

'Ali and Ava' (95 minutes) was so lovely. I'd also throw in 'Rye Lane' (low budget British romcom, 82 minutes) and 'Mistress America' (witty comedy 84 minutes)
