My top 100 TV shows would include at least one of the Scandi noirs, The Bridge, The Killing, more recently the Chestnut Man. The NYT list seems entirely -Centric. Good to see Happy Valley on there though!

There's a film where Olivia Coleman plays a fisherwoman who makes herself a husband from wicker. Astonishingly, they did not call it Wickermaleon. Missed opportunity.

Entertaining to see 'progressive' Americans immediately suggest (even jokingly) leveraging superpower military status to reverse a football decision they disagree with. Then finding to their horror the next day, that's exactly who they are, that's what their country always was.

Pretty sure US can re-open the strait of Hormuz by stopping the bombing and withdrawing their navy and telling Israel to do the same. Same as Russia can achieve peace in Ukraine by withdrawing their army and stopping the attacks.

I don't know why Newsome thinks he's winning voters speaking out against European leaders. They *are* united Vs Trump on Greenland. And he's lying if he thinks this was predictable a year ago. This bit wasn't in the campaign speeches.

Would fit as a tweet from Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson or a headline in the Telegraph. Equates legal refugee status with illegal migrants. I just don't recognise this Labour party. I don't know what voter base they think they're catering to. Or what their principles are.

Labour making 80% of public messaging about increasingly tough immigration policy, most of which was not in manifesto, is its own kind of breaking of the manifesto pledges.

This is really a shameful thing, if it turns out the "second attacker" was misidentified as an attacker because of his skin colour, for instance.

This is the most explicit "didn't think they'd eat my face" article. He's still really enjoying Trump and the military brutalising people he doesn't like... trans people, Palestinians, free speech of the left, immigrants... It's just that now he sees his own people further down the list.

The absolute stink the republicans threw up about a totally legitimate FBI raid, warrant, badges on Trump after months of notice, with nuclear secrets in an unsecured bathroom. Compare SCOTUS shredding 4th amendment rights in the face of warrantless ICE raids by masked, badgeless thugs.

85% of comments on every YouTube short re immigration: "Why don't they stop in the first safe country?" Like it's the best gotcha ever, and no one ever thought to ask it till they burped it up. My reply: Why don't you look it up, you halfwit? It's not hard to find out the reasons. Google it FFS.
