It's simple, our hero voter is a self employed tradesman from Lincolnshire. He drives a white van. He's worried about speed cameras, police stops, and no, he won't blow into your tube. He voted Labour in 1997, Conservative in 2019 and is Reform's 2028 candidate for Grantham.

Folks have a lot of pet peeves with movies these days, but my biggest one is probably that an absurd number of score composers are afraid of melody. I should be walking out of a theater humming your lietmotifs, you cowards, not feeling vaguely unsettled by ambient atonal strings
in 2015 when you saw a low image quality photo you could say "what did you shoot this on a potato" and now everyone's like "oh what kind of potato is that I love how the blacks get crushed and the details go all soft it's so vintage. is that like a Russet or"
My grand unifying theory of politics rn is that we haven't invented an ideology for the material conditions of the 21st century yet, so it's just been cargo cults for everybody.
1. This seems like a fine use of AI 2. This is how you know the humanities is where the most difficult questions are posed: AI can do the work of a math genius but not that of Judith Butler. 3. Learn to code? Why don't *you* learn to think hard about gender??? www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-m...

John Landis on the set of three amigos told Chevy Chase he was going to kill him and Chase responded “with what, there’s no helicopter here,” and that may be the only funny and good thing Chevy has ever said

The movie "The Odyssey" is great. But if this was 1992, we would all be listening to the Bryan Adams power ballad hit "Making My Way to You (love theme from "The Odyssey")
They should open up the Parliamentary bars to the public at weekends. Everyone should get the opportunity to get absolutely shitfaced at a tax free bar. Every shot could be a double. Every pint could be what the septics call a boilermaker. Write to your MP.
