I can’t stress enough how good this film is. If you’re a fan of the series you will love it. If you’ve never seen the show, binge it on iPlayer first then get yourself to the cinema!

Here's an idea for editors, let's do a little roleplay. Writer: "I have a contrarian take!" Editor: "Is it fucking stupid?" Writer: "Well yes, but it bucks the consensus. No one else is saying it." Editor: "Is that because the consensus is correct?" Writer: "... yes but... " <hang up>

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

I think this is happening. Wow, what a terrible night for some of the worst people in the world.

A month ago, Sir Jim Ratcliffe lectured the Prime Minister, telling him he should run Britain in the same way he runs Manchester United

Liz Truss was always crackers (I worked with her for six months in 2012). But she wasn't completely delusional. It's quite sad really. A lot of Tory MPs who backed her knowing she wasn't remotely equipped should be deeply ashamed.

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old vile ad factory. So when gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ran a vile ad weaponizing his opponent’s childhood rape, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

Musk’s wealth is a threat to democracy—not just in the U.S. but everywhere. He’s probably the greatest threat to the free world today.

Also: everyone can afford headphones.

I love the “not everyone can afford headphones” line. As if it’s obligatory to play shitty TikTok’s on public transport and you can’t possibly be expected to go 10 minutes without assaulting your eyeballs with mindless crap

Probably about 1% of the uk population remembers anything at all about ww2. My dad is 82 and was 1 when it finished. These people are lying. All of them.

My dad fought in the war and he wasn't a racist. My late mother was a teenager and dedicated her life to helping refugees. My cousin is in her 80s and "fucking hates racists". You don't get a get out of racist jail free card simply for being old and having happened to have lived during a war.

Producer: “Who can we get to represent the views of voters in struggling working class towns?” Researcher: “How about a London born privately educated banjo player who is the son of the billionaire who owns GB News?” Producer: “Perfect!”

The "red wall" is not a term you hear often these days

Why is a retired banjo playing, public school nepo-baby on the BBC's flagship Newsnight commenting on the Red Wall? And why no mention that: Winston Marshall only has a political platform because his Dad is billionaire Paul Marshall... owner of GB NEWS and the Spectator.

Zelensky smiled when asked by Sky News whether Trump was trying to make him a “scapegoat” for problems including low ratings, high diesel prices and the war in the Middle East. Zelenskyy initially stayed silent, then said: “That is my answer.” #Ukraine

The owner of X is almost single-handedly funding the Republican midterm election campaigns. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.

With the right wording of question in the right sort of community, you could get poll results showing that half of people believe the world is flat. The key thing is, though, is that it isn't.

YouGov@yougov.co.uk

With much media coverage of a government report that ADHD and autism are being over-diagnosed, a claim which some experts have disputed, half of Britons now believe that the conditions are being over-diagnosed Over-diagnosed: 50% Under-diagnosed: 17% About right: 17% yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...

Andy Burnham hugs Volodymyr Zelenskyy and welcomes him to Downing Street with a ceremonial guard of honour. This is how you treat the leader of the free world.

Just spent some time scrolling through Facebook, which I rarely do these days what with it being a cesspool. There are pro vaccination posts, positive lgbtq posts, vaguely progressive posts, none of which have 😂 responses or many shitty comments. Decent anecdotal evidence of this bot reduction 🇺🇦

The immediate thought is something else is going on here because this doesn't come close to the bar for having to resign from this administration. It's not even the most corrupt thing that's happened this week.

The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.

Amazing logic: "Yeah he knew we were going to pull some crackpot stunt at conference and stitched us up." It's a conspiracy theory that depends entirely on the victims fucking up

This Green Party insider theory that Keir Starmer was consciously laying a cunning trap for Zack Polanski seems rather a stretch! (New Statesman, 30th Sept issue) www.newstatesman.com/politics/gre...
