Very late to the party, but I've just finished the entirety of Twin Peaks for the first time. There is so much to unpack, to try and piece together and understand in any way whatsoever, which I guess with Lynch is kind of the point. The important thing is that I enjoyed almost all of it to a huge de...

Is it me or has the budget coverage by most news outlets been unusually hostile both before and after the actual budget? I'm mostly ambivalent about it (the Guardian's budget calculator reckoned I'd be £3.07 worse off), and I get that some people aren't happy about the ISA changes, the tax rate free...

Same. :lol: Pam Bondi was visibly shaking and clearly bricking it when answering questions at a press conference about when we'll actually see the files now Trump has signed. I may be misremembering, but didn't she claim a few months ago that there were no more Epstein files or something similar? ED...

My favourite part was when he reassured McDonalds that he'd always look out for small businesses.

Oh, and the part where he said "I'm a big hands guy". No, Donald. You are many things, but that is very much not one of them.

Meanwhile yesterday Trump gave a 50 minute speech to a McDonalds conference. The rambling is next level - watch from about 26m to 27m and bear in mind that he's meant to be talking about McDonalds and their business. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPid-oVSSi4&t=1557s Earlier on, he's rambling again...

The senate has just passed it too, meaning all that’s left is Trump’s signature. Wonder if he’s lost his favourite pen all of a sudden.

The Naked Gun (2025) Well... it's not the disaster I feared, nor is it remotely as good as the originals. Pros: - It did make me laugh, reasonably often. Taken on its own terms, there are some funny moments. - About 30% of the time, they nail the tone. Cons: - The remaining 70% is either a close im...

Just had several minutes of someone nearby beeping their car horn incessantly, followed by someone hammering on my front door (with such aggression that I considered ignoring it out of concern). I answered and there was some straggly-haired bloke in a hi-vis shouting at me about whether I had a car ...

If that's the case, I'd have thought it's only a delaying tactic. Presumably congressional lawyers would be able to determine which files were pertinent to ongoing criminal investigations and which weren't, thus permitting the release of the files that have no bearing on investigations. Of course th...

I'm genuinely curious what the reaction to this will be. It's obviously not going to actually implicate Trump in anything significant, they've had too long to remove any evidence of that, but will people actually accept it? Of course not. I certainly won't trust that they've released the full, uned...

Did Hil put her finger on the scale for Bill? Most likely that. The dirt appears to go well beyond party lines (especially when it comes to the Clintons), so the fact that Trump is now calling for their release strongly suggests that they've kept all the stuff to condemn Democrats and 'lost' or doc...

"The ladies, they love this look. So many tentacles, so beautiful. And they love the floaty thing I've got going on. I can float here, I can float there, everyone loves it. So great. But then the woke left mob say I'm in a dungeon. I told them, I don't do dungeons, that's not my thing, that was Epst...

Those tentacles do look especially grabby.

(I will not be held responsible if a Trumpian flumph makes a sudden and unwelcome appearance in our D&D campaign...)

Gee, Epstein sure spent a lot of time with this mysterious Ronald Flump chap, whoever he may be.

Been catching up on MCU movies. Deadpool and Wolverine I'm not a huge fan of Deadpool in general, but this was really great and succeeded in making me laugh quite frequently. The self-deprecation of how shit the multiverse saga has been was brutal. :lol: 8/10 Thunderbolts* First half is dull as dish...
