I spent more than half an hour at Berlin airport waiting for my bags to turn up. The only adverts showing were two different BMW/Spider-Man ones. I went into that baggage reclaim wanting to watch the new film, I came out hating Spidey for all eternity.

Often people ask "why should I care?" when a company is in financial trouble. Sony is desperate, spider man is the only IP they have left, they needed the new film to succeed, BMW & sony negotiated a LOT of cross promo money, like hell they both aren't gagging to get ther money's worth.

Terrence Howard, of "Crash," not believing in the mathematical concept of zero and insisting that 1 x 1 = 2 fame, is apparently eyeing the University of Texas-RGV for his new "omnidirectional flight" company. “Imagine a drone that could move at any degree necessary,” his nephew said.

Right wingers HAVE come here though. They just get blocked en masse and give up. There's nothing stopping them coming here and forming a right-wing clique. But they want to come here to antognise everyone else, and they can't do that if they're blocked.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Median UK voter in 2026, as predicted by Hugh Laurie some decades ago:

Sat on a plane and just realised that there's no row 13 (understandable, stupid and pointless) but there's also no row 17. I've never noticed that before and have no idea why. Is 17 a particularly unlucky number in some cultures?

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves co-director Jonathan Goldstein says the script for a sequel already exists, but he's not expecting it to see the light of day any time soon. https://bit.ly/4bIsrNA #SDCC

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1

Elaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)

History does not judge. But historians will interpret the facts of his premiership. They will look at how he enabled Reform, implementing some of their core agendas; how he chose to limit our rights further; how he failed to put in place protections for our democracy; how he chose to employ … 🧵

Have to say Deutsche Bahn are an amazing advert for travelling by car. Delayed both ways and they just stopped at Hauptbahnhof instead of traveling 2 more stops to our destination. Great work!

Got to say that Deutsche Bahn has really made our day trip out so spectacular. 30 minutes stuck at Berlin Hauptbahnhof before finally leaving and now a 40 minute wait for the connecting train. So looking forward to the trip back this evening.

There really shouldn't be a margin of error for something like this.
