I just watched the trailer for this and cannot wait for it to come out. Love Sian Clifford anyway and this looks like such a great part for her.

And watch my dog’s legs buckling under the weight of it?!?! It’s replacing a 13 mini, agree the minis were the perfect size.

I went for a 16e and it’s just so massive and heavy and I can’t think of any items of clothing I own with pockets big enough for it.

there are much worse problems to have but i just had to replace my lovely little old phone and they’re all so? big? can’t middle aged people have special small ones that we don’t need to be able to watch a feature length film on?

They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.

Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

Quite high on the list of things I could not give a fuck about are British rent-a-gobs and how much they love living in Dubai. Stop talking, you can’t say anything to convince me you have a soul.

It’s not as gross and necrotic as I hoped it would be, to be honest

I’m in trouble

Just a few weeks ago, all these European powers spoke of the threat that the US now presents to Europe. They talked about the possibility of Trump attacking Greenland, like it was an imminent and existential danger. Now Trump unilaterally bombs Iran and they all fall in lockstep

Christopher who? In May, a party founded eight years ago, with no record in national government and only eight MPs, will fight elections in Wales and Scotland, and for control of councils across England, with every chance of winning many of them. British politics is being reshaped by Reform UK. This is a result of Nigel Farage's personality and of Christopher Harborne's money - £9m, from a fortune amassed largely through cryptocurrency investments. The party would not be able to field candidates, run social media operations or door-to-door campaigns if it weren't for the Harborne war chest. There is a template for crypto-funded campaigning - in the US, where it is viewed as having led to securing crypto-friendly legislation and sweetheart deals to enrich crypto charlatans and undermine transparency and accountability in politics. Reform threatens to destroy the Conservatives as a party of government and divide communities, increasingly along ethnic lines and with overtly racist arguments. It also poses the most serious threat to Keir Starmer's government, Harborne lives in Thailand and owns a 12% stake in the Tether stablecoin. Little else is known about this intensely private man. Yet he can influence the course of politics, seemingly without either much of a business or life in the UK. It's a lot like overseas interference in British democracy. Didn't someone once say: "Take back control"?

From yesterday's Observer.

Also note that they report that the Middle East has somehow spontaneously erupted without any actors at all

“EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy” I can’t

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

A broader takeaway I think is nobody should be allowed to be so rich that being told no, or being held accountable, represents such a moral injury to that person's psyche that they feel like their only recourse is to burn the world down.

Can confirm, today is grey and drizzly but surprisingly WARM and you will sweat in that coat.

This is bullshit. I’m past expecting better of Wes Streeting but the despair still gets ya.

"The men implicated in the Epstein files reinforces that I spend half my life explaining to men that their simplified, optimistic view of other men doesn’t line up with the experience of women and girls trying to dodge sexual harassment, assault and abuse attempts." - Leslie Morgan Steiner

Does anyone actually know the psychology or whatever of this phenomenon? My dreams are often stuck decades in the past, I’m so curious (as long as, you know, it doesn’t simply mean I’m crazy).

Gross. And also the most propaganda-y looking piece of propaganda ever? Like subtlety fully eschewed here, someone’s asked ChatGPT for a propaganda vid and they got all the hits of the genre.

The solipsism

Agreed. We were all going through something unprecedented and awful. There’s nothing in the article to suggest that the universities mentioned did less than was possible in the circumstances. In my experience, staff were breaking their backs to provide what they could.
