Going by Keith Buckley’s Twitter there’s no chance of them getting back together so aye would expect to see him back. This is insane

The DWP are evil. Pure scum.

wearing a tuxedo to go on Rogan is so funny what a weird loser.

Wait what? ETA: lol just read the article. People really be saying anything.

I'm fairly sure they made a doc about him and he comes across miserably with his wife doing everything while he lies on the couch and posts.

lol Arthur Chu

Replaying the Gears series and those games still play well and have much better stories than the caricature of them suggests. It’s class how miserable and nihilistic it is. It’s also class how every head pops like a watermelon.

Yes. It’s very much one of those open world RPGs.

I think he’s fine but definitely overrated. I think my favourite was The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle because the short stories set in the Soviet labour camp were good. All of Murakami’s female protagonists always be noticing the size of their breasts and relative attractiveness though.

Yas! Heard the new season is class as well.

Love when an author repeatedly writes about how a woman is ugly but also somehow isn’t. Murakami kinda does it as well. Enjoyed it mostly though! Think I’ll check out the next one after I finish The Lathe of Heaven.

Just got it. Away to Switzerland to Dignitas myself.

I have no idea what this could be. Love it when you have a few letters in the wrong place and the worst confirmed placement for one.

This is how he wins

I’d love to be one of the fellas who stands menacingly on the news while the newscaster announces that everything is normal but martial law is in effect

Watched a few things over the last week or so Spider-Man (2002) dir. Sam Raimi The melodrama is very over the top and it's incredibly goofy but it's all in good fun. Lot of good OTT performances with Dafoe in the lead. I far prefer this to the MCU monstrosities and Garfield's flops. Con-Air (1997) dir. Simon West What did I think at the end? Yeeha, that's right. Movies were much better back when they made no sense and nobody gave a shit cause it was all in service of cool actors doing cool shit. Superbad (2007). dir. Greg Mottola This surprisingly really holds up and I think it might be the comfortable best of that slew of US comedies from the mid-noughties maybe because it has such a simple premise: teens get a fake ID and try to buy booze to get their hole. The Big Short (2015) dir. Adam McKay Having watched this and Don't Look Up I think it's pretty obvious that McKay is on much firmer ground with economics. It's a bit preachy like everything he does but that works and is fine when he understands who he thinks is to blame. The Other Guys (2010). dir. Adam McKay It's been years since I watched this and while it stops being as funny after the first half hour or so I still enjoyed it. Also it's funny in hindsight how much of the plot of this is focused on a somewhat niche bit of financial fraud and the credits is all about the onset of neoliberalism and the financial crash. Man knew what his interests were. Licorice Pizza (2021) dir. Paul Thomas Anderson PTA's pure vibes movie. I loved this even if me and my gf were squirming at the end scene. Hoffman and Alana are so great in this in what is their first role and the whole cinema was howling the entire time with laughter. The scenes with the Japanese wives especially were horrendous but I couldn't stop laughing every time it happened.

Someone gave me a lend of the first set of short stories for The Witcher. Quite enjoyed it. They warned me about the misogyny which I was close to pushing back against as it seemed alright then wooft hit the last story with Yennefer. Also finished Sally Rooney's latest. Probably the worst of the three but still enjoyed it. The email exchanges were enjoyable as the author speaking fairly eloquently if pompously about how they view the world. It's also a way more explicit book than the other two.

Are Pippa Crerar and Paul Brand actually doing any investigating or is Cummings or someone close to Sunak just texting them all this shit?

Well that's one euphemism for transitioning I suppose

how does he do it

Love to be like 30 talking about “tankies”

I think it makes sense to have vegan substitutes for lots of reasons but one is when you’re transitioning from a meat based diet to a plant one and you’re no confident at cooking then it’s easy to just switch out the real stuff for the fakes.

Some members of the public act like c***s at the tiniest bit of provocation. A lot of people aren’t equipped or don’t like having to deal with that.

Lucky as f**k to get it in 5
