Clickbait bollocks. This shit has no place on Bluesky.

I love it when Frazer does this. Gives himself random days off from his busy job of pretending to run a comics company.

I had this on ex-rental VHS. I seem to recall that Peter Cushing is not really in this, but Patrick Macnee is quite fun in a rare horror lead role. Special Guest Star Edward Woodward doesn't even make the poster!

And for people who have never seen Marathon Man but may be worried whether there's a dangerously quotable famous line, please could you tell them - is it safe?

Google is a crappy company with mostly terrible products that is also super rich due to its Internet search monopoly.
Having said that, Google Workspace is tons better than Microsoft Office 365, all companies do price rises whenever they can get away with it, and the AI link is just marketing.

What makes me especially uncomfortable is that he keeps threatening to take revenge on the people who have supposedly maligned him. Although all they've done is pointed out that Brown has failed to deliver the book, kept the money, and repeatedly, over the course of years, lied about it.

Be fair! You can't have an anti-democracy crackdown without a thin and unconvincing pretext, Wil.

The bonuses, which would have amounted to a small proportions of the fines, were already cancelled.
The problem at Thames Water is much deeper. Systematic looting, mostly performed by a previous owner.
The only solution is to nationalise the company. Everything else is delay and avoidance.

That's not true, and also not the point.
There are quite a few Tories who really care about the environment.
Reform voters are being suckered in by Farage's charisma. Literally the only way to beat that is to offer a similarly charismatic figure with better policies.

Not lie, just don't think you can beat Farage with facts and figures because that absolutely will not work.
The way to win is to offer a more compelling alternative, as Zack is doing.

This is a brilliant reply! As far as Farage is concerned, I think we have to go beyond fact-checking as that approach has never worked with Trump. We have to fight rhetorical fire with rhetorical fire.

I've just consulted the works of Nostradamus and I'm afraid to say that he predicts that there is going to be no major update covering any of those things.

They think you'd vote for them anyway.

I think it's great that a person who is definitely not a spy and has never been a spy is a serious candidate for the role of boss of all spies. Really gives me hope.
Though there is the slight chance that she's a massive spy and that massive spies don't put "Massive Spy" on their LinkedIn profile.

An act of national self-harm, motivated by racism.

Awesome. This movie is going to be like Flow, but with a big blue soldier instead of a cat and a talking gun instead of uh... a boat.
Gotta be honest, haven't seen Flow yet, but am very excited about the revolutionary animation technique both movies share.

We have Trident, that it's Green Party policy to relinquish. I understand. Deterrence does work and NATO membership is the best deterrent.

Well, they could blow us to pieces and without NATO no one has to lift a finger.

I think you will need to drop the opposition to NATO membership. The international political situation is far too precarious to leave the UK essentially at Russia's mercy. Plus it makes you sound like you agree with Donald Trump, which is not the way to get people to vote Green.

Second only to "Giant Golden Statue of Thatcher" in terms of policies that Labour MPs don't want and Labour voters won't forgive them for.

Carla's just announced she's not standing, so my loyalty to her leadership is satisfied and I can now vote for Zack.

Also enjoyed The Two Popes a lot.

I get daily headaches and tooth pain due to a dental issue that no dentist seems to be able to pin down, so please accept my sincere sympathies.

I voted for you as deputy leader, and I think you'd make a great leader of the party. Carla and Adrian have done a fantastic job, but I don't believe the co-leadership model cuts through with the wider electorate. So let's see if Carla declares as a solo candidate.

The message I took from the episode was that Andrew Tate is bad, but I guess your interpretation is valid, too.
