The phrase "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity" has no weight in Britain because the powerful people in this country are equal parts malicious *and* stupid

The sensible thing is for Starmer to pick a convenient No10 advisor to scapegoat and make them resign, but does he even have the political capital to do that?

such a dangerous time for Starmer - he now risks looking like he's in his 'lettuce' stage. A figure of fun, a punchline, mocked by political opponents that he used to trample over

if i do say so myself, I feel like this continues to age well
I've finally nailed the precise vibe of Keir Starmer's premiership and it's just that video of Mick McCarthy "it can"

Amid rumours that Streeting is mounting a leadership challenge, one ally of Starmer was quoted as saying "League 1 Wes?! Are we crazy?!"

Got Elon's obituary out of the way
I think the most egregious part is that he thinks listening to george guidall or whichever hoary yakubian beast penguin hired to read the translation while he plays diablo with cheetodusty fingers is 1:1 equivalent with hearing a rhapsode sing-chant the poem from memory, that a

Sorry this is so funny to me, wonder if there's a particular thing that you can do in your late teens and early 20s which has a high amount of binge drinking and also leads you to be more educated, a mystery

@Bmangall20 @LADFLEG An old journalist pal was a drunken mess in a Belfast bar one night. He had the horrors the next day, but after a pre-booked flight to New York, he was smoking outside a jazz bar in the Village. Life was good. Then a passerby said "you were some cunt in Lavery's on Thursday".

This is so bonkers. Nobody thinks about continuity between the different actors. Craig’s Bond has never been to space and never driven an invisible car. Just make a fucking James Bond movie with the new guy.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.” Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says: “You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
