What I really fucking love about Hot Fuzz is that it is a rare piece of artwork that unapologetically defends liberal modernity. A representative of the impartial, uniform rule of law & depersonalized state beings justice to a lawless, backward community run by a wretched clique of local grandees.

Ed Miliband’s parents survived the Holocaust, Ed Miliband is Jewish - that is immutable Questioning his Jewishness like this tells you all you need to know about people like this, and what their values are - and what they truly think about Jewish people that don’t behave how they want them to

Happy #StarTrekDay! Today we celebrate 60 years of one of Science Fiction's most iconic settings and stories, and the inspiration for our fantastic series of stories, projects and adventures. From Kirk to Boimler, From Uhura to Tilly and from Constitution-Class to Akira(!), it has inspired us all.

ULEZ was never a crack down on people driving, always a push for better respiratory health. 🚗 💨 “Examinations of London schoolchildren before and after the introduction of the city’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) found a restoration of lung capacity […] stunted by exposure to pollution”.
Image of a bus speeding past and headline “Ulez led to better lung size and function among London children study finds” 

“Researchers find capacity stunted by pollution was restored after introduction of ultra low emission zone.”

okay fine if we’re doing speed camera discourse, here’s my take as a Brit/american: the British system of almost entirely fixed location cameras at high risk points is much better at improving safety and less discriminatory than cops with radar guns looking for Black folk to pull over

I think what's most damning is that this media frenzy happened because it is august, and there is no news, and the journos were bored and this looked exciting. And now a man is dead and they'll all go "yes, very sad" then blame the universities as a concept before fucking off to party conferences

The BBC using the words “alleged asylum seekers” is so frightening. Claiming asylum isn’t a crime. Calling someone an asylum seeker isn’t defamatory. These are human beings exercising a legal right. BBC news is rotten to the core and frankly needs to undergo something akin to debaathification

What's great about VAR is that it makes the matchday experience worse while we still have clear and obvious errors.

I actually think if we’d beat Argentina he had a plan for Spain, but we’ll never know I’m grateful for what he contributed, and given some of the performances earlier on in the tournament without him we wouldn’t have got to the semis (his faith in Spence was vindicated 100x over)

This Thomas Tuchel hate is scapegoating There’s a reason France couldn’t beat them in 2022 Is he perfect? No. Did he get us to a semifinal? Yes I hate Argentina as much as the next person but putting all this on Tuchel is unfair #ENGARG
