Make the whole area much worse, destroy the infrastructure and burn down local amenities. It's what we like to call a mini Brexit.

No. The correct way to understand this is to stop trying to make things fit together. You can watch different people playing Sherlock Holmes, in entirely different stories, without trying to make it add up. Stories are a dressing up box, not a jigsaw.

This really needs emphasizing. The entirety of the UK media ecosystem is utterly fixated on a 100% fabricated "crisis".
Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.
Not that you would know it from the endless coverage of Britain's supposed "immigration crisis"

Man tries to demonstrate what wonderful progress AI is by citing instances in which, in most cases, the AIs in question are murderous, destructive villains that kill people. Great point, mate, great point, I for one am converted

Starting a rewatch of Star Trek Deep Space Nine and Emissary is a brilliant pilot,
In 90 minutes the show is set up very well, the core crew established and the conflict with Bajor and the Cardassians is planted like a seed,
And it’s SO SO SO much better than Encounter at Farpoint it’s not funny

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

I’m unsure why Presto supermarkets no longer exist. I suspect it may have something to do with the sinister tag line and the anthropomorphic penis used in their ads.
Coincidentally, I saw Anthropomorphic Penis play Glasto in ‘93.

I love TikTik piano tutorials where they've put numbers on the keys and proceed to show a number of patterns and them say "and then you just put that all together". No shit. That's not some hack. That's just learning how to play.

If you've got a history book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin, it's worthless. The history books, now, will have to be rewritten. They'll quite simply say "The OBR released a budget analysis 25 minutes early". Everything else will be a footnote.

The Farage stuff is really weird, no? None of this is new. It could have been investigated this whole time. What he has said and done is on record. I just don't understand why his school days are getting scrutiny now when his whole political career has not.
