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.
100% this. The simple narrative perfection of giving me a bad guy to dislike, and then repeatedly telling me how bad he is, while dangling the opportunity to embarrass him in front of my face.

“We’re making the right decisions to reinvest in the business, after an all-time low, we’ve started to return to growth, more than 2 to 3 times what we were" People realize this is a nothing statement that says nothing, right? Right?

Trump is rape-apologist-in-chief for a reason. It's second nature when he has had to do the same in court on multiple occasions for himself and cover for pal and fellow-rapist Epstein. Unless the accused are non-white, of course.
The News Agents@thenewsagents.co.uk · 6h ago“You can trust Donald Trump to walk into a situation and automatically make it worse.” Donald Trump has said the 'Cornell 7', who are alleged of gang-raping a woman, won’t get a “fair shake”. Why’s he involved at all?
the U.S. press can't acknowledge the biggest cause of U.S. division is right wing extremism (and the attack on civil rights, consumer rights, ethics, female reproductive rights, and the rule of law), because you might upset advertisers, sources, subscribership, and white male conservative ownership.

We are saddened to say goodbye to our dear friend, Oscar-winning actress Eva Marie Saint. One of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s Golden Age, we’ll forever be grateful for unforgettable contributions to cinema, her generosity and her humor. Our thoughts are with her loved ones.
We celebrate Eva Marie Saint, who died today at 102. A #SagAftraMember since 1947, Saint won an Oscar for her film debut in 'On the Waterfront' and starred in 'North by Northwest.' An advocate for organized labor, she leaves an enduring example for generations of union members.

You know, it is almost as if the whole point of this was to generate headlines rather to launch a rounded, considered defence project. The costs, the capability, the technology - all imagined. She's flogging vapourware and she knows it.
paulusthewoodgnome@paulusthewoodgnome.bsky.social · 14h ago"I'm not a defence expert." Even by Kemi Badenoch's lamentable standards, this is agonising. Just give thanks she will never, ever be Prime Minister. 🙏 #politicslive
Thing about Badenoch is her immense self-confidence does communicate itself to voters and is one reason her ratings have improved. But you've got to think during a campaign more people would notice it is entirely unjustified.
Chaminda Jayanetti@cjayanetti.bsky.social · 12h agoThe thing is, this isn't some gotcha memory test about "what precise amount of money will this cost/raise" of the type beloved by interviewers in election campaigns. It's the most basic question imaginable - "how will this thing work?" She has no idea.
Sensational. Can’t believe it dropped just after I filed a column about her epic ridiculousness, though.

If you believe this, I have a bridge to sell you. The prime directive of the Conservative Party is to get and hold power. The idea that it would risk throwing away the opportunity merely because it involved an albeit uncomfortable arrangement with another right-wing party is clearly for the birds.

Yeah a few runs in, and Galactic Racer meets the hype. Shockingly good narrative design… I already care deeply about the roster of frenemies. If, like me, you’re a ‘one racing game every couple of years thank you very much’ kinda person, consider this as an option.

Yes, the White House sometimes serves as a branch Kremlin press office, which would be humiliating for anyone who had the slightest hint of patriotism or for that matter personal dignity.
