What people sneering at this don't understand is that there are actually two kinds of countries in the rules-based international order: those with a right to self-defense and those with a duty to restraint.

What's more Emotional, the scene wherein the crew watch the video of young Faye and realise that person is just totally gone, her whole future and everything she represented no longer with us, or the scene ending Jupiter Jazz where you just fade into an indifferent cosmos as the music plays?

C3P0 being annoying is such a great joke and it took me until adulthood to notice it, cos he’s just C3P0 if you grew up with the franchise. He’s designed to be an ambassadorial diplomatic droid (that’s why he’s on Leia’s ship, as cover), but he can’t quite get on with anyone. Simple clean gag.

Apart from the lesson ‘you should get a nuclear weapon as fast as you can’ what’s happening also sends small States the message ‘and it’s pointless to try to do deals with the United States as their word means nothing’

It’s pretty funny that a segment of people are settling on the view that the em-dash—far and away the most beloved punctuation mark by people who are fussy about their prose—is a sure sign of LLM prose

Private Eye exposing again the utter idiocy of our politics. This sums up exactly how Farage and Reform get rocket-boosted by a media, drunk on sensationalist nonsense. Unserious and irresponsible but it’ll be up to us to prove them wrong.

The Tories and their media stooges are disgusting. “Giving away Gibraltar, Labour are anti British” The moment we voted to leave, we voted to leave Gibraltar. At that time, the Tories, the media could not have cared less. Good luck Gibraltar, still British but all the benefits of EU membership.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

A main excuse for empire: some groups of people must be governed by outsiders for their own good; without outside help, they cannot act justly or wisely. If this justification works, it justifies imperial government of settler minorities.

An aggressive ethnostate led by a corrupt fanatic with a guarantee that whatever it does, it will have the backing of the most powerful state on earth and the acquiescence of most European ones. What could possibly go wrong?

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way: "If this is how the Department of Homeland Security responds to a senator with a question...I can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers, in Los Angeles & throughout California & the country."
