xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 22hlook, I didn't love 'Don't Look Up', I thought it was a little on the nose and that that movies like McKay's don't really work when the director is evidently only 1/2 an inch off holding a mirror up to the screen while screaming "I have utter contempt for you ignorant pigs in the audience", but 000

xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 12/10/2026well imo kind of the problem is that he just said "yes, it happened", and we should be more informed about the extent to which it did, with no further details about the true extent of that interference so now we all get to wonder 'what did you mean when you brought it up?'+ talk at cross purposes 110
xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Nah, but there's a difference between "interfered in this referendum via influence ops on Twitter, or attempted to" and "decisively swung the election result, more than the previous 20+ years of right wing tabloid coverage telling people the EU was the source of all their woes did" 180

xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Edwards is vile, but he clearly grasps that if you want to be influential in the culture, you have to find a way to participate in the culture. (FWIW the 2026 Eisteddfod Crown was won by another poet, Martin Huws - also a former beeb journalist, natch - for their poem about abuse and victimisation) 000
xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Not to be all "You've gotta hand it to the convicted paedophile!" but an article by disgraced newsreader Huw Edwards popped up on my Substack feed the other day where it turned out he'd written a poem to enter the National Eisteddfod so like, if that guy can write stuff For The Culture: no excuse 100

xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Right? Like yeah, of course I'd kill someone who was trying to kill my children. But that is a terrifying and unwanted prospect, for me. It is not something I fantasise about. It is something I actively do not want to happen. I'd much rather fantasise about a nice holiday with my beautiful babies 041

xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 08/10/2026in fairness, the Stop The Boats guys might also come up with peak intellectual takes like "why aren't you calling women in burkas gay then?", get corrected on "'homoerotic'; not 'gay'" and then go "yeah, homosexual?" look this was a passing thought but the point is I'd be fascinated to witness this 110
xargirl.bsky.social @xargirl.bsky.social · 08/10/2026politely, I think there is something of a gulf between the reasons the Stop The Boats guys think they are doing it and the reasons intellectuals believe they are doing it they wear nonce-bonnets because they don't want to get caught on camera and arrested for doing hate crimes 100
