Remembering what Liam McAnderson said about this kind of thing years ago on WTYP It's awful when conservatives do it, but it's not surprising. You write them off - of course they have nothing good to say about [insert marginalised group here]. But when libs/Dems do it? You claim to know better!

Beautiful irony that of all acts, Ed Sheeran would be comfortable just going down to himself alone on stage with his guitar and a mic, the thing he got famous doing, except now he'd look *even more* like a prick if he were to try and go ahead with that

For reasons, I'm heading down the NEC through Philadelphia, for the first time since I visited in 2019 Weird to think that was before the pandemic, before I started listening to WTYP - and now the city has a whole other meaning Wish I had an excuse to stop, but alas, on to DC

I have not ever seen a single story about a trans kid causing any issue in some sport they’re playing (other than other butthurt parents) yet this is somehow an exponentially bigger problem than an ocean of conservative men preying on children and women.

I'm sorry, Lyra. I'll never forget how angry you were in my car, talking about how many people's families and loved ones were denied justice because of the culture of intimidated silence that surrounded paramilitary murders in Northern Ireland. It's dark that you have now joined that long list.

Will have to wait and see, but strongly suspect this will also apply to Nolan's Odyssey, Vs something like Troy (2004) Latter is often ridiculous and self-important, yet it might actually get the feel *more*, with less care for making everything feel like some mix of Dunkirk and Zero Dark Thirty

An antisemitic caricature straight out of the 1920s. Leaving aside how insulting it is to suggest that Polanski somehow supports or likes the attacker, FFS. The Times is a damn rag and Brookes is inviting violence against Polanski himself here

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

There is within me an unslaked hunger for preposterous adventure movies. I resist the bad ones, but when a "Congo" or an
"Anaconda" comes along, my heart leaps up and I cave in. "The Mummy" is a movie like that. There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. There is a little immaturity stuck away in the crannies of even the most judicious of us, and we should treasure it.

If you spend money on anything Harry Potter, you are funding this. If you think it's okay to continue being a fan and talking about it and putting your Hogwarts House in your profile since you already bought the books/movies, Rowling had stated the continued fandom shows you support her bigotry.

By getting express trains off the existing network, HS2 clears space for others - particularly FREIGHT. Fewer lorries on roads = major CO2 win. The northern legs, presently "cancelled", are the crucial part. We need to safeguard the routes and BUILD THEM. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
