Lots of people (fairly) zeroing in on the gay thing, but it's interesting that the under 18s are free to do whoever they want
i'm locked in on this film sorry to anyone else
Okay I would like a spin-off tv series focused on the police department who have to enforce this. Call it Brooklyn Six Nine.

"Mr Infantino, sir! The people are upset about all the bribery!" "Oh no! How big a bribe do I need to give to get them to stop being upset?"

Gianni Infantino 'offers Morocco World Cup final' in exchange for support - AOL
Morocco will co-host the 2030 World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal and Gianni Infantino has reportedly offered them the chance to stage the final - on one condition

This is the same reason why The Godfather sucks as a movie: The characters all talk about being honorable family men but they don't act that way. Total failure.
I think this piece is interesting, and I understand that Wilson is never going to be a fan of Nolan’s Odyssey. This piece is better about it, but one of my least favorite things about criticism is bemoaning what one thinks a thing should have been rather than engaging with what it is.
Turns out @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social knows a lot about ancient epics www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Sorry, I'm still not entirely sure who Will Stancil is but apparently he's a tit
Thing is it's not just "a random idea tossed out by a fantasy writer" - it's the core concept of the opening of High and Low by Akira fucking Kurosawa
okay now he's gone too far
Prince Ali of the Jordan FA accuses Infantino of blackmail.
When will Bluesky launch "not replying earnestly to an obvious joke" though. That's the real test.
Oh my god you guys are such nerds critiquing Christopher Nolan's Odyssey for not being a 1:1 adaptation of Homer's work. Anyway join me for this five hour video essay discussing the differences between "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and the comics run that it shares a title with. Starting with Mr Negat
They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time
in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
Stop calling me an amateur. I've been doing this for decades. I'm incompetent.
If you can’t think of anything nice to say, I believe there’s a vacancy at The Spectator.
What more fitting way to remember Rod Liddle’s life and work than by making nasty jokes about someone who can’t answer back
Reminder that you might not be able to change the scumbags, but you can outlive them
An underrated cause of Infantino’s problems is him playing silly buggers with EA Sports: FIFA got $150m a year just to let EA use the name on a game. Literally free money. But Gianni got greedy and wanted more, EA called his bluff and walked away. Since then he’s been trying to make up the shortfall

Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:
Hello and welcome to The Bear, the entire building fell through a portal to hell half an hour ago, but we're open for business. Our greeter has been invited to attend a seminar in Japan, and despite not wanting to go and not having a passport he'll be on that plane in three minutes time.
We as a society have moved beyond the point where children should be bullied for having ginger hair. We have the technology to stop this (hair dye, shave it off, bag over head)
I misread this as monetise and thought things were Kicking Off
The way people moisturize their bodies has been romanticized
Bluesky needs a fixed tag for "this is explicitly not for the USA", probably blinking in red.
ANYONE REMEMBER WHEN DINNER MEANT EVERYONE AT THE TABLE… NO PHONE ALLOWED, NO DISTRACTIONS, JUST TALKING ABOUT YOUR DAY WHILE SLOWLY, IMPERCEPTIBLY AT FIRST, MORPHING INTO WINNIE THE POOH CHARACTERS? ANYONE REMEMBER THAT??
Ok, this one might be my favorite, haven't stopped laughing
