MAGNETO WAS RIGHT

This is the only way to treat fascists. The children and grandchildren of the people who knew this seem to have forgotten

Never again is now, friends. Don't look away. We have a moral obligation to EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING being detained, deported, and sent to actual concentration camps on our watch. Who were you when your government perpetuated atrocities? If you're in the US, it's in the wide-open now.

In a civilised world, every one of these fuckers would face the same justice as the last wave of Nazis.

Good news on the AI reccomendation, but a 5% levy on streaming companies is a bad idea (and I say that as someone who dislikes the power these companies have, and potentially a beneficiary of the levy). People are already struggling to afford these subscriptions, and a price hike will drive them...

I hope it's not just a voice performance. The world needs Meryl Streep in a terrifying lion costume.

Tomorrow hundreds of thousands of people will hit the streets in the US for the first time since the effective collapse of the constitutional republic. With so many new folks marching, rallying, and taking action, there’s a growing need to disseminate information on keeping ourselves & others safe.

Film industry pro tip: Don't start filming unless you have enough money to pay cast, crew and suppliers, in a bank account you control: deadline.com/2025/03/simo...

Give us Matt Saliger as Captain America you cowards!

Genius move by the UK government to stimulate growth by taking money out of the hands of people who are definitely going to spend it. Next I assume they're going to solve global warming by burning car tyres.

There's a parallel universe out there, somewhere, where Snow White went straight to streaming and O'Dessa got the theatrical release it deserved, and Disney had a really successful weekend. Unfortunately we live in the bad universe.
