I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices cried out "Шах и мат, либералы" and were suddenly silenced.

True… but they’re not very cool ones. Dick Dastardly or Skeletor might work, but they’re more like Dirty Den Watts off EastEnders.

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan.”

The AI industry knows nothing about marketing, otherwise it would have a Geoffrey The Giraffe or Tony The Tiger figure as the public face of the tech rather than Musk and Altman.

The Creep Tapes continues to get funnier, weirder and more uncomfortable. God bless Shudder, because I have absolutely no idea where else apart from maybe Adult Swim a show like that could reach three seasons.

This whole Churchill/hedgehog debate is so fucking stupid. One defeated Dr Robotnik, the other sells car insurance. No contest whatsoever.

The worst thing about the word “crypto” is that the word “crypto-Fascism” already exists so it’s tricky to know what to call Fascists who are into Bitcoin.

How Jack Kirby and DC Comics Predicted Trump With a Bloviating Demagogue in 1971
In Glorious Godfrey, DC Comics’ Jack Kirby created a fascist demagogue that eerily anticipated Donald Trump, right down to the gravity-defying orange hairdo.

The obvious one is Sinclair Lewis’s It Can’t Happen Here. First 200 pages are pretty much EXACTLY what’s happened, right down to the promised 5k giveaway. The last 100 are going to be no fun all all for America to live through.

I'm actually a bit miffed that badgers didn't make it onto the banknotes, but I'm scared to say anything because it's become a whole culture war kerfuffle and I don't want anyone to think I'm being a cunt about it.

Saw someone answering the question of who's gonna want to be seen on a live broadcast shooting Nidal Hasan to death by suggesting they could wear masks, and... I'm not sure "masked men shooting a dude in a wheelchair" is the kind of impression even Trump would want to give.

I think the reason Flanagan works so well with STEVES KING is that neither of them have any real pretensions to being great artists, but they're both excellent storytellers. (Also they both sometimes struggle with endings, but the journey is usually a blast).

At the time, I thought giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize was stupid, but knowing how much it still really pisses Trump off I can now only assume the Committee are epic pranksters with the gift of prescience.

Digger is confusing me. On the one hand I don’t want to give the number 2 guy in the Church of $cientology any fucking money, on the other films that are that divisive are totally my thing. The duality of one specific man (me), I guess.

You know the other day I was talking about being surprised that celebrities who just died were still alive? I had no idea Mia Goth was married to Shia LaBoeuf until I read they got divorced. My celebrity knowledge is not SO bad that I couldn’t guess why though.

Just finished Venomous Lumpsucker- fucking awesome book. One of the cover quotes said something about it being a really funny book about mass extinctions and… yeah, I can’t really put it much better than that.

When he eventually gets out of prison, Andrew Tate is going to be known as The Eel Porn Guy for the rest of his life, and that’s a beautiful thing.

Bloody kids of today. They aren't satisfied with manglewurzels or turnips for their Haggedy-Raggedy lanterns. Oh no, they want something non-traditional, something a bit different. Something a bit too bloody orange if you ask me. The spirits won't like it. – Sam Buckle, 1982 #VOH

Just rewatched Tenebrae. Think it was the first Argento film I ever saw, but it's got everything you want from him. Including the part where it stops making any logical sense whatsoever about thirty minutes in. Absolute classic.

Although because I get obsessed with weird little things my favourite thing about Tom Morello at the moment other than his politics is that on "Everyone Gets Everything" he pronounces "mirror" as two syllables (ie properly) and then STILL rhymes it with "beer". Outstanding.

It was funny enough when America's "Republicans" were shocked that Rage Against The Machine weren't Libertarians, but it's even funnier when its liberals are shocked that Tom Morello's an actual Leftist and not one of them.

Apparently Andrew Tate had "horse and eel porn" on his computer which is a) gross and b) not entirely surprising but c) does make me think that "Horson Eelporn" sounds like a Thomas Pynchon character.

It has come to my attention that some of you may not be aware that Nookie Bear was originally called Bollocks The Bear, before Roger De Courcey made the move from working men's clubs to light entertainment.

If you call Prince Andrew "former Prince Andrew" or "Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor" you're a forelock-tugging bootlicker. Their whole deal is that family is everything, not achievements or actions. That works both ways. They can't just pretend he's not one of them anymore because it's inconvenient.

Not wishing to hand it to the late Jeffrey Archer or anything, he was awful, but when you look at the reasons he was a "disgraced" politician and what passes for normal or is handwaved away within months these days the cunt was practically a saint.

Kind of a tragedy for micro-budget horror movie makers of the 21st century that found footage was pretty much rinsed and dead before the widespread adoption of the bodycam, which would have solved a lot of their problems at a stroke.
