At times like this I’m reminded of the evergreen post from Twitter of old:
Me: I’d like to see Trump wriggle his way out of this!
*Trump wriggles his way out easily*
Me: Yes, well, nevertheless

But the BBC edited two parts of a speech together
"On the two September nights that Fox said the neighbor’s confrontation happened, @propublica.org's review found no videos of violent clashes posted on social media, and federal authorities announced no arrests."
NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.
The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.

One decent use case for AI in the movie industry would be to make actors’ mouths move in sync with the audio in dubbed versions of films.

I would like to see Kier Starmer’s “appropriate” Glastonbury line-up. Pretty sure it would feature Westlife, The Lighthouse Family and for a little edge, Nickelback.

28 Years Later, then. It doesn’t match the original for sheer jaw-dropping, holy-shit-what-did-I-just-watch madness, it’s a pretty solid, well structured and very well acted piece. But what the fuck were the parkour Jimmy Savilles about???

Let them. They can harrumph and moan all they want, while the economy gradually picks itself back up and the benefits of a closer EU relationship make themselves apparent. Increasingly they’ll start to look like the isolated Japanese soldiers on those islands fighting a war that ended years ago.
There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.
