the subreddits for luxury watches are some of the darkest places on earth

Rolex subreddit post:

My uncle has Alzheimer's and is often forgetful of his possessions. One of them is a Rolex Submariner. Would I be justified in taking and caring for it as my own instead of having it left neglected and forgotten in his jewelry box? Thanks.

Drawing of a couple: a purpley pink guy with a bunch of tentacles instead of a head in a vaguely punk look, his arm around a very thin guy, with the same pink hands, and a very large eye instead of a head. around them are several birds, demanding food.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

This sort of headline syntax is bullshit because on skimming it, it makes it appear a factual ruling, instead of just an allegation by his defence counsel in court.

Give it six more months of plummeting poll figures and the government's policy on immigration is that people will need to have a PhD in Chaucer before applying.

Anyone in the UK still driving a Tesla or using Twitter is directly supporting homegrown fascism. Not some nebulous overseas concept; racist violence in this country. There is literally no excuse for it.

Sorry, what? There is no “race debate”. There is racism, there are racists.

This isn’t a legitimate political polemic, this is hate speech and hate crime.

Can we stop trying to wedge the bigotry of fragile white men in to public discourse? Doing so is hate-washing and we need to stop it.

I think this might be a first.

A sitting president promoting the book of a foreign head of government and writing a blurb for the book that’s quoted on the cover.

(Not sure about the son of a sitting President writing a forward — but not many are well-known enough to do that)

A screenshot of a social media post by Donald J. Trump (with a checkmark badge). The post reads:

“Giorgia Meloni, the GREAT Prime Minister of Italy, has written a new Book, ‘I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles.’ Giorgia is doing an incredible job for the wonderful people of Italy, and this Book explores her journey of Faith, Family, and Love of Country, which gave her the Wisdom and Courage required to serve her Nation, and make her people proud. She is an inspiration to all. Get your copy today! a.co/d/2OsJj97”

Below that text is an image of the book cover. The top of the cover says “FOREWORD BY DONALD TRUMP JR”. The main visual is a black-and-white portrait of Giorgia Meloni looking directly at the camera, resting her face on one hand. At the bottom of the cover is the title “I AM GIORGIA” in red letters. On the right side, on the cover, there is a red circle with white text:

“Meloni is a FANTASTIC leader.”
— DONALD J. TRUMP

He made acclaimed films like the first two Home Alone films, The Goonies, and even Gremlins. But still the Left is trying to cancel his holiday because he directed two of the early Harry Potter adaptations.
