Car manufacturers should go back to putting CD players in cars as standard. Not everything is available on streaming.

Film studies should be taught as mandatory as maths, English, science etc. in schools. It would expose you to different cultures, languages, time periods, music. It would promote empathy and understanding of other people's struggles and successes. Hugely beneficial to society.

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

Given how many birds are tooling around above us in the sky and shitting freely, it's a miracle we don't get shat on more often. Hats off to birds, they're doing a great job.

What happened to all the biblical level miracles? It was easy to believe in God thousands of years ago. He was doing crazy shit left right and centre. Parting seas, walking on water, raising the dead etc. You'd have thought he'd still drop the odd one in to remind us he's there.

"If there there was a window it was not broken, but it if was broken it was not by Nigel Farage's ball, but if it was his ball he certainly did not kick it, and if he did kick it, it was an accident and he knew nothing about it" said a Reform spokesperson.

There is no one perfect version of Superman. There are numerous iterations and versions that all stem from a central idea and even that idea went through fifteen permutations. Thus, there is no truly “right” version of Superman…just one that you vibe with the most.

I bet you there are people in Star Trek that don't believe in warp drives. Some illiterate redneck in the middle of nowhere is ordering Bud Lights out of the replicator and ranting about how Starfleet is a Vulcan conspiracy, teleporters make you gay, Tellarites aren't real, etc

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

If you don’t like comic book/superhero movies, fine, they’re not to your taste, no worries. But if you proudly present your disdain as a sign of virtue, an indication of what refined cinematic taste you have, well, then you annoy the fuck out of me.

If Starmer goes it will be five PMs in four years. Unprecedented?! No. The post pandemic 1920s saw a new challenger party, and a tousled haired, lecherous, corrupt leader succeeded by a burst of PMs. Five PMs… from three parties …. in two years and a month.

250 years ago exactly Britain was locked in an unwinnable war with a distant, poor yet stubborn opponent. The French ambassador wrote: "This ruinous and mad war is the reverse of the philosopher's stone." Happy anniversary.

Virginia Heffernan wrote this shortly after the 2016 election and it still holds true
THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no
Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history.
He doesn't care about the life of the mind
OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper.
He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or youngson. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them
— and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he'svery ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other
people, living or dead, like him?

When it came out, I felt The Force Awakens cut world-building corners to repeat A New Hope, but 10 years on, its depiction of a world where embittered fanboys lean into totalitarianism and extremely recent history has been forgotten (if not repressed) seems prescient. My bad, JJ Abrams.

A Christmas Carol is a story about how children suffer and die from treatable illnesses because the wealthy choose to keep them in poverty. It also correctly notes that the only thing a rich bastard fears is the inevitably of death. It even has Muppets in it. Truly Dickens' most timeless work.
