I don't see a way through for Cynthia Erivo here. She'll lose to Rose Byrne for best actress and to k-pop demon hunters for best song.

And then a repeat of that at The Oscars? I was so sure she'd be getting EGOT status with Wicked For Good but I don't think it has the momentum of the first film

Aw shit, it's a-koo-chee-moya time.

Fun fact: the "Native American" consultant they hired for the show's Native aspects, "Jamake Highwater", was a complete fraud who represented himself as Cherokee when he wasn't in the slightest. His real name was Jackie Marks and he was European Jewish.

How out of touch is this?

Dear Labour,
"Women's portions": is this really what you're proposing in 2025?

If you think about it Dairylea Lunchables are a crazy concept, like 'what if we give kids canapes but they also have to assemble them'

Whenever I read something by Hadley I am ensnared in a dark cloud of misery. Obviously, plenty of what she writes is plain old hatred and bigotry but I just can't help but sense how miserable she is with her life through the way she writes.
then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

ADHD Activist feels like an oxymoron what with all the organising, form filling, and turning up on time required...

Sometimes I wish I was the kind of nerd who had a billion dollars instead of the kind that has to decide if he has another month on his utility bills before they shut off the heat.

The cell block tango but where the women are just mildly annoyed by the abusive men in their life instead of murdering them is truly bizarre

The real trickle down is Starmer pissing himself in fear over the Greens surge in popularity
Starmer says he’s "taking the gloves off" and that the Greens are "nuts"

Big talk from the PM of vibes based cruelty and trickle down cowardice.

A lot of people drooling away as they tell us 'they'd stone you for existing but Israel wouldn't'

Every country at some point has outlawed and murdered us and many queer people don't accept they have to buy their freedom by ignoring the suffering and death of others
“Solidarity with Palestine reflects the very realities that queerness is not just about sexuality or identity but about dismantling oppressive structures globally, and that is a common understanding within queer liberation and Palestine liberation movement.”

Palestine matters to queer folk.

Why Palestine Matters So Much to Queer People
Palestinian identity can “upend the whole world order, if done right, if spun right, if we activate it enough. And I think queerness is a very similar kind of identity.”

It must be deflating if you're an 18+ page and you post a nude and it doesn't get flagged as adult content...not even non-sexual nudity. Heartbreaking

I really think those 'end of year' music lists discriminate against neurodivergent people because I can obsessively listen to one album or even one song on repeat for months

Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

In fairness the joke about Your Party on HIGNFY was very funny

Hannah Fry: A Your Party spokesperson said they wanted a leadership model that was 'not top-down but bottom-up'. In the end they settled for a compromise: tits up

I'd honestly rather Netflix owned Warner Bros than the other way round
December 5, 2025 at 8:10 PM
From a UK perspective is Netflix buying Warner Bros the end for Sky or will Sky still get the HBO shows Atlantic and Warner Bros films on Premiere?

Obviously banning Israel is the best choice but there's also the option to invite Palestine to compete, them winning and humiliating Israel in the process... also a good option

I used to be a fan of Richard Dawkins, JK Rowling, and Graham Linehan.

They can all go straight to hell.

Made a sexy video for oomph. But then had to watch back sexy video to make sure it's not weird/hideous then had an out of body experience watching myself watch a sexy video of myself...
