Critical wagon-circling around extremely well-reviewed, profitable, high-end popcorn movies — Nolan, the Tom Cruise extended universe, etc — is one of the more complex pandemic/post-pandemic cultural phenomena to me. It's fine to think The Odyssey sucks!

Lincoln Michel@thelincoln.bsky.social · 2h ago

This kind of take always baffles me. Nolan's film is the biggest movie around, racking in money, and getting glowing reviews (including from academics). If the biggest most popular works can't get critical debate, then what can? Frankly Nolan is probably delighted. It helps the film to have debate

Nothing could be more damaging to our climate and the future of the North East than offering up even more of our North Sea to oil and gas giants. To create well-paid, long-term jobs in the North East and tackle the climate emergency, we must invest in renewables.

Shameful. A body that's supposed to defend equality and human rights is attempting to enforce segregation. They must fail.

Equality and Human Rights Commission@equalityhumanright.bsky.social · 12h ago

Our code of practice for services, public functions and associations comes into force today. It provides practical guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations. Find out more: https://ow.ly/alIf50Zwrkx

Quote from Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson: 'At the EHRC we want a society where everyone’s rights are respected and realised, so that we can all live well together. Our statutory guidance will help services across the country comply with the Equality Act, protecting service users from discrimination and harassment while reducing the risk of the provider being subject to litigation. As Britain’s equality regulator, our work doesn’t end upon publication of this guidance. We monitor compliance with the law and take enforcement action where proportionate and necessary, in line with our well-established regulatory model and decision-making framework.'

I think people are seeing the mass arrests of people for wearing t-shirts and holding signs in support of Palestine Action and are assuming there's One Weird Trick to force the cops to treat Nazis the same

Mallory Moore@sexabolition.blog · yesterday

www.thenational.scot/news/2641894... This is great and all, but the police already ignore it when Nazis turn up with Combat 18 flags and combat 18 has been banned since they went on a bombing spree in Muslim Jewish and Gay areas in London.

The British Press: “He was simply an inimitable wit and raconteur, who lit up the pages with his silver-tongued prose.” The raconteur in question: “I am a paedophile.”

The Author, Séamas O'Reilly@seamas.bsky.social · 2d ago

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

British people love to look at any catastrophe and say "well it didn't impact me directly so any measures to mitigate it must have been unnecessary" just because they couldn't get their treats for a little bit.

I wish there was a single politician willing to say we need more immigrants here in the UK, immigration is a fundamental freedom and good in-itself, and we should accept all migrants as new neighbours and fellow children of god, as the nominal official religion of this country supposedly preaches

"Sinking in Polls, Farage Plans Week of Attacks on Immigration" Reform plan to make next week Immigration Week It could finally be the moment for broadcast media to notice the > 75% drop in net migration since 2024. There is also a 42% drop in boat crossings

Bloomberg: Sinking in Polls, Farage Plans Week of Attacks on Immigration Reform UK party is planning to hold multiple press conferences on immigration to turn public attention to the issue, despite the number of migrants arriving in the country nearly halving from the same time last year. A total of 14,200 immigrants have arrived in the UK via small boats so far this year, down 44% compared to the same period last year, with the Home Office and National Crime Agency increasing seizures of small-boat engines and improving enforcement cooperation with the French. The issue of immigration threatens to be riskier territory for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who is already facing disquiet from backbench colleagues over reforms proposed during his predecessor's tenure.

"No," he said, "millions. One Jewish life, it's 10 million [Palestinians]." Challenged on the racism of his statement, he did not deny it. "Yes, I know," he replied. "But this is the truth, because God chose us [and] because of this you are jealous." This man is a lawyer. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When Hannah Spencer brought this up, she was mocked, laughed at and called a “b*tch” by one anonymous MP, who said it was his “only time away from the kids”. Tax payers should not be subsidising the alcoholism and parental abandonment of the people who’ve run this country into the ground.

Unison, Aslef, Usdaw, and the Musicians’ Union have now announced that they're boycotting the Labour Women's Conference over the party's anti-trans stance. Should they keep paying Labour money at all, though?
