I’ve yet to see a watertight argument for why this is not pronounced like “bidet”.

I watched the whole thing and they never even got to The Quiet Place.

Perfect training for a lifetime of unfulfilling work for insecure bosses!

Jack Kirby was threatened for drawing Captain America punching Hitler. The difference back then was the mayor of NYC pot a protection detail on the Marvel offices instead of coming out to bat for Hitler.

This is a huge opportunity for countries who always played second fiddle in science and tech.

I’m really curious about this too. We know that the Angles, Saxons and Jutes brought their gods to the British Isles - we have the days of the week Tir’s-day, Wodan’s-day, Frigg’s-day - but the Romans had already supplantdd the native Britons’ druidic traditions with Christianity. We already know little enough about this period of history but basically the only surviving writing we have about it is by Christian scholars like Bede written after the fact, with all their biases.

I hate that we finally get a Labour government but it’s just another Tory government. At least Tony Blair called it “New Labour” instead of this grotesque pretense.

For some reason Western governments can’t resist creating tyrannical laws for someone l worse to abuse later, with the excuse that no-one reasonable would use it for that.

Peter Bradshaw will give a hundred genre films 3 star reviews despite positive body text and then out of nowhere do a four or five star rating for the most mid thing ever (see Miami Vice).

Only for really basic things. I’m trying to use it to build tools in the background while I do real work, but it quickly falls into a pattern of presenting a working product that actually doesn’t work at all (and then If have to dedicate a lot more time analysing the generated code to find out why. It often can’t fix its own workings even with a “reasoning” model.)

I can’t believe he knows anybody like that. You think you know somebody…

I like that this implies that Biden was also Trump - presumably in an ingenious “doddery Old Man” disguise. Also, omlol at the body proportions on the statuette.
