Hardly a satisfying narrative: The rich and powerful want a certain outcome, and they get it.

Most film adaptations would go for a plucky underdog tale about someone standing up for the little people, going up against the rich and power, not a story of a well funded group with the backing of a billionaire, the entire media/political class, and a rabid social media ecosystem in their favour.

What is this shite? Celebrating the roll back of rights against a marginalised community?

Who's funding this gravy train? Who will be the actors! And lastly, I think it's all a bit premature.

The journalist who acted as consultant on Mr Bates vs The Post Office says the legal challenge was in some ways bigger than the Post Office IT scandal

Gazed into the abyss too long, and it gazed back at me. Then we made a real connection and became true friends. I'm going over to The Abyss's place next week to look after his pet pit of despair whilst he's on holibobs down the Challenger Deep.

A Discworld may do the trick. I'm not sure on which one particularly though, but I should think a few of them could fit the brief.

As my laptop isn't powerful enough for anything more intense than solitaire, thought I'd give cloud gaming a go. Amazed to find it doesn't actually suck anymore, actually seemed to work as advertised! Never thought I'd see the day!

With cheap chocolate alternatives, I'll bet they can funnel that saved money into producing ever more hilarious penguin puns for their Penguin wrappers.

Thinking I may become one of those people who never get out of the way under any circumstances or even try to let others by as they go down the pavement, I bet their lives are amazing.

We live in grim times, and things are tough, but seeing all the photos of the big lads of Sumo about town, living their best lives and having a grand old time has been really heartwarming. ♥️🇯🇵

Yes. Not as bad as in the original version, but yeah it wasn't pleasant or necessary in the remake.

Well Evil Dead (2013) was perhaps a bit too much of a video nasty for me. Too gratuitous and mean for my tastes. It's well made and all that, and I can see why horror fans may like it, but not my cup of tea. At least I can say I've seen all the Evils Dead now.

Well I'm no expert, but this sounds like something a dangerous bellend fraud would say. So you know you can trust me.

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

This isn't educating kids, it's actively making them dumber.

Labour have lauded their terrible online safety act, protecting children from porn, by enacting intrusive online ID checks. So surely they need to do the same for ChatGPT now?
But Labour have also bet it all on AI. Doing so would harm that, so expect some double standards excuses.

In Deep Space Nine, Dax's species, Trill, appear to be analogous to mammals. However the presence of a pouch suggests they're more marsupial than placental mammals. So Dax is closer to a kangaroo or koala than to us. Sadly the coward writers never wrote a story where a quokka gets a symbiote slug.
