It was a bad time for the Empire. The Shogun just stayed inside his castle, and he never came out. People said his brain was infected by devils.

This was today… Sotally tober… NYT clearly way off base…

I remember the first time my dad asked me to punch him in the face. Me and my 27 brothers (no sisters) and their 26 moms were there with me and dad. All 55 of us were just wrasslin. "Let me have it," dad said. He had been awake since 1991, because of the drugs and blackmail. Weeks later he died.

Bookmarked.

BRING HER BACK: Yeah, the Philippou twins of TALK TO ME are the real deal. Their horror films about grief have energy and momentum (thank god!) and I think they're on the vanguard of something exciting. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

FFC review: BRING HER BACK (2025), by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2025/05/brin...

England could face water shortages within a decade. Since 1989 population, homes increased - 25 reservoirs sold off, no new ones, no desalination plants, 1 trillion liters of water a year lost to leaks. Companies borrowed to pay dividends. No forward planning. Disaster made by privatisation.

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain *needs* a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily *need* universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

When your tech tree develops from battle tanks to donkeys and golf carts.

Getting suffocated by the live service behemoths.

HMRC admits not collecting £40bn tax last yr. Others say over £100bn. Big accounting/law firms, banks mastermind tax dodges. Rarely prosecuted. No big accounting firm prosecuted; get govt contracts. Fewer than FIVE criminal cases brought in 2023-2024, 16 in 2018-2019. Govts chase little people.

A lovely reminder of how we used to think about the genome and its relation to phenotypes.

I almost, *almost* want him to run for MP so he can be thoroughly humiliated again. But then he could possibly win couldn't he?

Bank robbers say asking banks for permission would kill the heist industry.

Quite a thing - as any student of judicial politics will tell you - for a letter to be signed both by former supreme court justice Jonathan Sumption and by former appeal judge Stephen Sedley. They are about as far apart in their judicial outlooks as possible. lawyersletter.uk#signatories

"Genocide is being perpetrated in Gaza or, at a minimum, there is a serious risk of genocide. Second, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and serious violations of international humanitarian law are being committed in the oPt": letter from 800 legal experts including judges.

Hope he never finds out about Bold.

5 years after the brutal murder of George Floyd police kill more people each year than ever before, even as violent crime has dropped. Police brutality must be included in our democracy discussions.

HONEY DON’T! has some Coen & Cooke DNA, but it’s a super hip, sexy, moody noir that feels like a ‘90s indie throwback as it does anything else. Margaret Qualley is the absolute Real Deal, playing her PI cool as an oven. My full review for @slashfilm.bsky.social : www.slashfilm.com/1867517/hone...

Understanding the sentence of Lucy Connolly Had it not been for competent legal advice, her sentence could have been far harsher By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

On June 3rd, 2016, Michael Gove told Sky news that Brexit was: An opportunity "to take back control from unelected, unaccountable elites...." and to "fire them." That's Lord Gove to you plebs...

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

WHERE MY PLANE MOFUCKA

@nigella.bsky.social and other gods, would this be practicable? Are the sharp tips essential for preparing food?

Crash Course is a free educational video series that is used in over 90% of high schools in the US. Because it's free, teachers and students decide for themselves whether they want to use it...and they do. Also...the world record for most high fives in a day is 15,338.

None of it matters unless people stand up and say NO. Dems must impeach, whether or not it will be successful.

"The Most Corrupt American in History... and he's The President." Y'all can have that gratis.

A reminder that this is the kind of thing regularly being put out by GB News now. This is the same channel Starmer's Government insist on giving exclusive interviews with the Prime Minister and other senior ministers to. On his recent trip to Albania they were the only broadcasters invited by No10

This article sparked a conversation with my husband we’d never touched on before. Turns out he also LOVED watching Champion the Wonder Horse as a young kid. (He happens to like the Pixies too) We were destined for each other. www.bigissue.com/culture/alic...

NEW: Star Wars Outlaws has improved a lot. Its new expansion is good, but different than planned On working on a game that struggled at launch, its creative director said: "You want to always...get more people into something that you put your heart and soul into” www.gamefile.news/p/star-wars-...

This writer just punched his career hard in the face, all for an article that he could have written in ten minutes simply by summarizing jacket copy. (Also, given the "AI"-generated errors in other articles in the insert he produced, he's, shall we saying, overrepresenting how carefully he checks)

If you ever want to see a Trump supporter go insane, just casually mention he's never won an election against a man.

Food security group says more than 93 percent of children in Gaza, about 930,000, are at risk of famine.

"Tesla might pull off a pivot to some other business—maybe it becomes an AI company. Maybe it becomes a B2B operation or a government contractor. But as a consumer automotive company? It’s dead....All because Elon Musk decided to get in bed with Trump." www.thebulwark.com/p/death-of-a...

See you at 1 AM, yes, you read that right, when Republicans take up the spending bill, which includes a provision that would restrict courts from holding gov’t officials in contempt for violating court orders—possibly explaining the subterfuge. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...

Ah! This beautiful game got rolling last night on kickstarter. An embarrassment of riches aesthetically, and some very tasty story stuff. Exciting.

I really feel like a hugely underrated factor in our politics is "everyone in Westminster and the broader media assumes newspapers represent the range of public opinion, as opposed to the range of public opinion who still buy newspapers". Yet another thing pushing us towards gerontocracy.

Nauseatingly late.

Unspeakably awful. Genocide, in plain sight. Where is the international condemnation from heads of state? Where is Starmer’s? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
