I’m hoping Christopher Nolan writes a scathing review of Wilson’s next translation project, let’s get a real feud going. “Her clumsy and consistent flattening of the gnomic aorist into a bare preterite utterly fails to capture the nuance of the original!”
not the kind of behavior I expect from the winner of the fifa peace prize
Breaking - Postecoglou appointed to be new Prime Minister of France.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus while vowing to call Trump's trade war bluff on CNN just now, "This isn't gunboat diplomacy (laughs). I mean, this is like an Al Capone shakedown in his syphilis phase."
It’s a lovely illustration that management really matters that almost everything Disney owns is bad and disappointing in the same way.
Film Stories@filmstories.bsky.social · 2y agoIncredibly, a new #StarWars film from Lucasfilm has finished shooting: The Mandalorian & Grogu. Now there's just the small matter of post-production to sort out...
“Mr Speaker, just this week, X user ClassicalStatue45768 posted a call for the Prime Minister to commit seppuku. Forty-seven - yes, Mr Speaker - forty-seven voters, many in such desperate poverty that they can only afford underwear, liked the post. When will he comply with this just demand?”
Theo Bertram@theobertram.bsky.social · 2y agoIt took years for Cameron to call for Brown to resign or Starmer to call for Johnson to resign. Badenoch has gone there after just three weeks. Where else do you have to go after that?
