This is a multi-prong problem and needs a multi-prong solution. Browsers need to be updated to police and any all URLs. Certificate verification can't stop this. App Stores need tighter restrictions on legitimate apps: any QR scanner apps should be purged from stores. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Go For It Nakamura! (2026) Incredibly funny! Very cute and sweet. Nakamura's overactive romantic imagination is so relatable as a fellow shy introvert with crushes 😅 Love to see appreciation for BL and positive LGBT stories! Fans of Heartstopper S1 will like this too

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

Obsession (2026) So, so good. Possibly horror movie of the year. Brilliant at exploring the idea in ways never depicted before. Genuinely tense, shocking and nail-biting. Gets under your skin, paranoia-inducing. Eye opening into what loving someone really means.

Modern football summary: State-backed sportswashing, astronomical ticket prices, unregulated elite monopolies, and players run into the dirt for extra broadcast revenue. But remember guys, it's "the beautiful game" and definitely not just a hyper-capitalist meat grinder.

Disclosure Day feels like a very good precursor to a much bigger film: Several important plot points were smoothed out too easily There is the signature Spielberg magic, and some stunning camera work and acting The film is mostly about anxiety of the unknown, though The Abyss did that better

Bills up. Wages too low. Record profits for Oil & Gas. 50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population. Shit in our rivers. Pensioners jailed for protesting. Migrants thrown under the bus. Supporting a Genocide. That's Starmer's legacy.

Robert Cathles @rjc-uk.bsky.social · 15/06/2026

The original FF7 was a 10/10 game. Compelling story, characters, music, themes, gameplay. Seeing it fully fleshed out from the blocky pixelated 1997 version is a dream come true, giving it a full modern take and the remake care it deserves, the way we remember it being.

I separate art from artist. I don't support Israel's government, but that doesn't mean Israel shouldn't be allowed an act for Eurovision. Just because I'm British and live in the UK, doesn't mean I support Brexit, or Reform, or the government, or the monarchy. I am not a patriot, I'm not proud.
