If you do a marathon of Graham Greene adaptations, Our Man in Havana is the best imo.

I see a lot of people saying The End Of The Affair, which I read when I was 15 and it made me cry, it is certainly my favourite. There are so many good ones. He had a really good run during the 60s-80s. All bangers, mostly adapted into pretty good films.

Thousands of Ukrainians have lost their loved ones because of russia’s aggression. They are growing up with pain that comes far too early.

Their childhood is filled with loss. But their hearts still have so much room for love. ❀️

the one who loved horses, the one who was a great goalkeeper, the one who kept a diary every day, the one who held her sister's hand when they walked to school, the one who read Harry Potter in English, the one who collected old coins, the one who drew rainbows for her grandmother ...

But now it is. Now, most clinicians trying that nonsense know full well that they're choosing harm over another path, for which ample evidence exists. And for that, hopefully someone will be held accountable.

Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

The Sun: INACTION THIS DAY PM wont hit Iran back Rift grows with US Prez

Have we woken up in America? The deeply unpatriotic Daily Mail and Sun seem to now be supporting a menace of a foreign leader over our own govt and national security. They are really only loyal to their own vested interests. Which are a direct threat to our own. The routine betrayal is sickening.

I had to round up, sometimes notarize, and upload 29 documents. And travel to another city for the biometric part. I'd been putting it off the decades and it just got more and more difficult and expensive.

In January, we went inside the Dilley detention center. Children shared letters describing the anguish of being ripped from their lives: propub.li/4cUHm8L

After publishing that story, we learned about Edison, a 13-year-old from Chicago detained for 2+ months. Listen to Edison in his own words πŸ‘‡

i wind up tweeting this basically every time there's an article like this, but the fundamental thing to me: ask yourself whether you earnestly believe there's more social pressure to be trans, or more social pressure to be cis. it's actually a super easy one!

Every so often they get tens of millions of people killed, then enough people notice them and act, but then our kids forget. Their main goal now is to figure out a way to stop us noticing, even when millions die.

Because they are predators and most of us aren't. They're Harry Lime looking down from the top of a Ferris wheel at everyone else and regarding us as insects that exist solely to feed their appetites. Most of us aren't looking up and don't see them. Those who are, are treated like Cassandra.

Stir up a hornet's nest then walk away leaving all your allies to deal with the angry hornets... Classic Trumpy move.

(I'm sure you know that Iran made Shaheed drones are a major tool in attacks on Kyiv)

I've seen a couple of pro- Ukraine YouTubers reporting that Ukrainians are celebrating death of Khameini. And heard a MAGA pastor who talks regularly to Trump on BBC world service claiming that attacks on Venezuela and Iran are deliberately targeting Russian allies to help Ukraine. Do you buy that?

That was the rationale for invading Ukraine.

Pulling out of NATO - like Trump and MAGA have effectively done - and doing something similar with European allies, as UK is currently negotiating?

So Green policy is effectively to continue what's already underway, without the pretence that NATO is relevant to UK security any more.

If you threaten to limit the degree to which ordinary people will be served up to supply wealth to billionaires, you get pushback from those pledged to the service of billionaires.

Starmer's doing his masters' bidding here.

So the plan has begun.
Start an illegal war, oh no it's unpopular, everyone who questions our illegal war is an insurrectionist, take over the media, stop elections.

Strangely the headlines I have found on Google are not the same as this headline, and the articles about this event include statements like "but with seemingly similar guardrails rival Anthropic had also requested."

So it's not clear to me that this claim πŸ‘‡πŸ½ is true at this point.

The far Left with their annoying insistence on treating people with dignity and respect whatever their background or gender or able-bodiedness. I mean what have the far Right done that's anything as bad as that hey?
