Rightists actually be like: “Noah, why weren’t you capable of navigating an airport designed to be navigable by millions of very stupid people who also don’t speak English?”

Rightists be like: "Noah, do you think Sweden really needs all those people from Syria?" Bro I have never even been to Sweden. How about you go ask someone who actually has a stake in the question

The by-election has totally neutered him before he’s even got his foot in the door. Zero momentum. It barely matters who wins now (still hope it’s Reform to maximally grind the boot into Labour’s gaping wound)
Every day the probability of Burnham becoming Labour leader declines, but moments like this suggest he could well be a whole new kind of disaster even if he does succeed - Labour politicians genuinely seem to live in another world

Because cheap smartphones, cheap data plans and free VoIP calls allow them to remain mentally in their home slum while they scuttle around first-world countries scraping together first-world incomes.

Just been Mandela Effected by this incidentally, could have sworn the title was “The Bed and Breakfast Kid”.
Must have been getting mixed up with “The Suitcase Kid” by the same author

In the trial of the Moors murderers, the jury listened to the full audio tape of their torture of Lesley Ann Downey.

I still think the worst part of this legal dynamic was the judge in the case ruling the video taken by the killer as he murdered his victim was, “too disturbing to be shown” as evidence.
The killer recorded himself doing the killing, and that evidence could not be shown to the jury because it was “too disturbing,” yet the jury was tasked with making a decision on whether the accused was guilty or not. Think about it. Beyond insane judicial logic.

Funny, just the other day I remembered a similar situation some years ago in the courtyard of Milan’s Castello Sforzesco.
I’m sitting on a bench resting my feet. Middle-aged white woman comes over holding a sealed bottle of water, her wrist in a cast.

Another automobile anecdote, from my student days many years ago. I think about this one a lot:
I was returning from shopping at the supermarket and noticed a portly German man in his 70s pacing beside an older SUV. The driver's door open. He was accosting other people, who walked away, and when I came near him he stopped me too.
"Please, can you help me?" Thick Bavarian accent.
"What I can I do?"
"Can you back my car out of this parking spot for me?"
He pressed the key into my hand, and I stood there baffled. The lot was basically empty, he could also just pull forward out of the space. I put my bag of groceries on the ground and approached the open door. The interior was filthy, not with trash, but some brown substance over everything. I looked back at the man and he had a weird look in his eyes, eager, desperate, also maybe a bit angry. Was he going to let me start his car and claim I was trying to steal it? Was this some kind of scam? The situation felt weird and I decided I needed to get the hell out of there.
I gave the man his key back and suggested that maybe he shouldn't be driving. I even thought of calling the police, but what could I really say? Also I'd left my phone at home. From across the street I watched him continue to pace. He got in his car, backed it halfway out of the spot, then got out again for some more desperate pacing and more accosting random people.
After about five minutes he drove off.

Her: “could you open this for me?”
I am extremely suspicious, already on high alert from the shitty bracelet scammer African men always present out the front of the castle
Me: “…no, sorry”
Her: “what?! Why not?”
Me: “just can’t, sorry”

She went off in a huff and immediately asked some other guy, who obliged and opened her bottle. She did not immediately start demanding he pay for it, so I momentarily felt like an asshole.
Lesson for injured women: don’t expect high social trust from me in tourist traps

So many decent films of that period had shit pointless song and dance routines crowbarred in. Gomez and Morticia dancing in some restaurant in Addams Family Values. Sigourney Weaver singing “Back in the USSR” in her fake Russian accent in Heartbreakers.

early 2000s bombs like son of the mask or master of disguise are so painfully unfunny and off putting that the idea of people paying money and seeing it in a theater loops around to being so funny that it makes me cry with laughter

Every no-hit parent I know just psychologically tortures their misbehaving child instead.

Hitting your kids is in the same category as circumcision, iPads, strict adherence to the CDC vaccine schedule---it is for Ns, goyim, and walmart pajama people. It lowers IQ (Straus, 1995), increases aggression (Gershoff, 2016), is less effective than a timeout, and requires escalation to keep working. The replies to articles like this are filled up with the Dumbest People Who Ever Existed saying "it worked for me" and then genuinely malicious and hateful morons dropping reaction gifs of like daffy duck swinging a belt
"EVERY STATE IN AMERICA ALLOWS YOU TO PHYSICALLY CORRECT YOUR CHILD. It's legal. It's fun. Bring it on." -- profile says: Cat Sanctuary Dad. Unyielding steel. Workouts, keto, cat chaos, anime rants. Godzilla, Gundam, Mazinger, Ultraman, classical art, manga.
If you hit your kids, you will create permanent emotional distance with the only person/people you could ever be that close to, not to mention sending them down the road of being as much of a lost fuckup loser as you are who will hit their own kids, or wont, but only after spending a decade figuring out why they reflexively apologize all the time.

Can’t stop thinking about the obese food journalist woman on Italian daytime TV the other day who claimed that:
- Americans are fat because the Reagan administration made food more calorific to boost sales (???)
- RFK jr is now lying that meat is good for you to boost sales

Away from the jubilation, Tower Hamlets once again reminds us what the future holds without drastic measures.

Not just the BBC: search “Tim Hunkin secret life of” on yootoob for a real treat from early 90s Channel 4 (no tits)
My Dad had them taped when I was little and I revisit them with great pleasure every few years

The underlying travesty with the BBC is they’ve repeatedly chosen to chase mass market lowest common denominator engagement when a) they are commercially protected from requiring to do so, and b) specialist long form content has never been so popular on things like new media.

ESPNcricinfo continuing its unbroken run of making me regret checking it.
This is especially subcontinentally disingenuous when England remains in the big 3 with teams comprised of:
- white lads from crickety public schools
- white lads from South Africa

Hello ONS I’d like to know how many foreigners we’ve imported purely because of these people who would never EVER wipe someone else’s arse for any amount of money and can’t believe that any other (British) person would either

Many men (especially Italians for some reason) who don’t go bald just keep the hairstyle they had at 20.
There's a Leon Kennedy realism mod now for RE9 that properly updates his appearance for the modern audience.
Also replaces his hatchet with a cane.

One day the Oscar-winning 1993 short film “Schwarzfahrer” will be shown on a loop in museums as a prime example of the relentless insane self-hating propaganda we were exposed to for decades under the old regime.
