Graham Linehan is now a convicted criminal. This is sure to impact his status as an Irish citizen travelling to the US. Under US visa rules those convicted of property damage & violence may not enter the USA. Those who have are being searched out by ICE.
Linehan has been fined £500 and has been ordered to pay costs of £650, in addition to a statutory surcharge of £200. Read 👉 buff.ly/DRhFouL #GCNnews

This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

Saw a headline hot take yesterday about 'Why Super Sentai Failed After 50 Years' or some nonsense. Brother, Super Sentai SURVIVED for 50 years through an ever-changing, volatile media landscape. It continues to survive by evolving (as it always has). I'm celebrating that. ⚡

Academic paper finds that worst case predictions are accurate over a five year period, but can't oversee the full scope of bad outcomes over a ten year span. An interesting conclusion found studying the effects of the largest own goal in recent history, Brexit.

In good news Ashly Burch remains awesome.
In better news she is making an adult mental health comedy show.
Don't know anything about therapy or don't get why it didn't work for you, then just Watch!

I don't understand why these companies are making humanoid robots when they could just make doganoid robots. A robot that looks like a person doing dishes is creepy, a robot that looks like a dog doing dishes is AMAZING.

Its really funny that the author agrees with everything Linehan says and his own wife still thinks "Maybe it's... you?"
