the 'solution' to the anti-immigrant sentiment is for our political and media class to stop lying about it. they're causing this problem themselves. immigration is not a problem in this country. it just isn't. our press is racist and our politicians are scapegoating.
Oooooh turns out Dad hasn’t seen Raging Bull before and didn’t seem interested in watching it with me because he thought it was ‘just a boxing film like Rocky’ I’ve tick him it isn’t… he’s in for a (uncomfortable) brilliant treat soon.
I’d put it in the same class as Get Carter, brilliant performances, really uncomfortably nasty at times, but absolutely riveting.
Raging Bull - wow. A brilliantly compelling film about a deeply unlikeable man.
Unite the Kingdom by hating the other… doesn’t seem particularly ‘uniting’ to me.
Satisfying punch 😂
[the shooter is unidentified] the left must be purged with the sword [the shooter is, again, a compulsive masturbator who loved Hitler] I believe it was pascal who said that the heart has reasons that reason may not know
“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.
Ah, those poor innocent right-wingers and Republicans, they never demonise anyone, everything is the left’s fault…
As expected, Charlie Kirk's killer, Tyler Robinson, was a black trans muslim Democrat... oh, hang on... sorry - he was the son of white Christian Republican parents in Utah and was taught to use guns from an early age. What a fucking surprise.
I’m sure there’ll be corrections in equally prominent positions in each of these papers, yeah?
Really enjoyed the season 3 finale, and I think the retcon/backstory addition worked really well. AND I DID NOT CRY, HONEST! 😭 #StrangeNewWorlds #StarTrekSNW
I want to watch Raging Bull, but I think I’m probably too tired for what I know will be a great but grim film.
In 1939/1940 the exact same rhetoric was used - by the worst people in this country - against people fleeing nazi Germany.
I can now confirm that To the Ends of the Earth is indeed the source of the gif.
So, came home with Raging Bull, and just before I got home To the Ends of the Earth was delivered 😀
When the bus I just got on started taking passengers it was like a scrum, bunch of people tried to bypass the queue already waiting.
Regretting not getting on the bus that was getting full… ffs
Need to remember to get my old man meds on the way home…
I could just stream it… but by all accounts it’s one of the best 4Ks ever released, and Criterion discs can sometimes be like gold dust. While it’s still there (the film and HMV), I decided to hell with it, might as well.
Went back in on my way home, got the Criterion Collection Raging Bull 4K.
May have enough time to pop into HMV before disability group… And To the Ends of the Earth is on its way.
I hate people like this, think somehow they have the right to block a footpath? Fuck off. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
All of this is correct, though? Kirk was a bigot. He hated the marginalized. If it was you instead of him he would laugh. He was a terrible man.
People will immediately scold you for pointing out how bad someone was when they died when no one doing it wants political violence, no one doing it wants war, no one doing it wants preventable deaths to happen. Charlie Kirk was the one that wanted all of that, and he’s the one that died
I bet for most of the people in the UK seeing the murder of Charlie Kirk dominating the headlines, it’ll be the first time they’ve ever heard of him. That a far-right podcaster (who said that gun murders are an acceptable price for the 2nd Amendment) is dominating the news here is depressing.
Speaker Johnson saying "This is not who we are" is about the dumbest thing someone could say at this moment. This is exactly who were have become, often several times a week.
Holy shit.
BBC running it as first story like this bigot who said gun violence was worth it matters to the UK. Wtf?
The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.
That and cats are better, so they also chose poorly.
Worms Armageddon is still Best Worms omg
❤️ 17.49 on PS4/5 atm, but apparently the original Armageddon on PC is still very active and even gets updates.
Sigh…
When my headset is updated and I have tea.
Gonna stream a bit of Worms Armageddon, the bestest Worms. twitch.tv/plankton1975
I know it’s unlikely, but still… The opening titles still give me goosebumps. youtu.be/EGHx2PnLT10?...
Dear film gods, may I have Das Boot Director’s Cut in 4K HDR please? Even nicer if it included the TV version as well.
I’m still kicking myself that I took so long to watch it, after doing the same after only just recently watching I, Claudius for the first time 😅
Can’t watch everything I guess, plus many youngsters just have an aversion to watching older stuff I suppose. Not saying it’s right, though some films can age more than others. Hell, Master and Commander is what, 22 years old now, so it’s not exactly new.
I’ve enjoyed some of the classic naval films over the years, but none of them feel quite as authentic as Master and Commander, in the same way Das Boot is by far ahead the best film set on a submarine. THAT’S the naval film I’d point younger people to next tbh.
A really good chunk of that has the Enterprise and Reliant playing cat-and-mouse with each other, similar to the Surprise and Acheron. Plus the captain and doctor being pals is another aspect they have in common.
Probably because it’s really really good, and by all accounts really bloody historically accurate. I’d only just seen it for the first time recently and I was shocked how good it actually is. Though I understand the Trek comparison, to a point. Star Trek II is pretty much a navy film in space.
I don’t know who Thomas Skinner is, or that he’s walked out of a Strictly press conference, so why are you sending me a notification asking if he had a point, Reddit?
I THINK it’s the source of this gif… I’d forgotten Bendybum Cumbersnatch was in it.
I only ever saw the first couple of episodes, I do remember I recorded it on VHS and watched it after broadcast, but never saw the final third episode, I either forgot to tape it or wiped it. I just found the series on Blu-ray for £5.99 😀
Watched Master and Commander again in chunks over a few days, it’s an absolutely stunning film. It reminded me a little of To the Ends of the Earth, which I thought was on Channel 4 but turns out it was on the BBC.
I find this incredible. How stupid would you have to be to believe this nonsense?
It indeed DOES have the Tykes voice bank! WORMS IS BACK, BABY! Worms 2/Armageddon was peak Worms.
Worms Armageddon: Anniversary Edition is on sale again, and a Google still didn’t tell me if it has one of the things that got removed from later console sequels which REALLY irritated me - the Yorkshire worm voices. But this time I watched the trailer… and I heard them… 😀
Fuck me…
Hang on, is this the time of year when Hollys legally have to go on holiday or something? Also that sounds terrifying and justifies my cowardly stance to remain on the ground.
The really horrible one we’re living in, sadly.
Yeah, but many of them seem happy they can shove them onto somebody else for a few hours a day. You’ve (and me) have that child-free feeling all year round. Every cloud and all that.
You can’t separate the art from the artist WHEN THAT ARTIST IS TRYING TO DO HARM. I have the Harry Potter Blu-rays somewhere, I have Father Ted on DVD somewhere. Bought years ago. I particularly love Father Ted. Would I buy anything connected to Rowling or Linehan now? Fuck no.
Sorry… I just got really fucking annoyed 😅
2 blocked today, first time I’ve blocked anyone here. Fuck off back to X, you cunts.
Literally had someone compare Harry Potter to Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Buying his music isn’t doing any harm to anyone, he isn’t still alive doing Nazi shit like she is doing transphobic shit. Again… fuck off.
…then kindly fuck off.
If you’re happy to consume Harry Potter stuff then good for you, knock yourself out. But if you can’t acknowledge that supporting Rowling NOW is giving her views tacit support (she’s said herself she sees people giving her money as supporting her views) and that she’s causing harm with that money…
That shithole is a lost cause, I’m glad I finally left it, I took way too long.
Oh no, I’m persecuting the billionaire that has a yacht and lives in a literal castle! How will I sleep at night?
Again, he’s dead, so isn’t an equal comparison.
Not the same at all, he’s dead while the Castle Terf both spends her money on anti-trans causes and sees people buying Harry Potter stuff as support of her views.
Trump yesterday: “And much lesser things; things that take place in the home, they call ‘crime.’ They’ll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight with the wife, they say, ‘This was a crime.’ So now I can’t claim 100 percent [crime reduction].” #DomesticViolence #DV
Reform leader Nigel Farage has broken wind, follow the live coverage here.
BBC Accused of Pro-Reform Bias as Lib Dems Launch Campaign to End ‘Wall to Wall’ Farage Coverage They accuse the BBC of “following Farage around like a lost puppy” and have complained to Ofcom to demand fair coverage bylinetimes.com/2025/09/09/b...
And the lives of trans people. Fuck Harry Potter.
WHY DIDN’T ANYBODY TELL ME THAT COTTON CANDY GRAPES WERE A THING?!
Think today’s trip to Lidl should provide me with material for several episodes of Tales of the Unrequested, as long as @jacklyttle.bsky.social doesn’t ask us about our shopping. As that would be a REQUEST, Jack! And shouldn’t count… not that it’s stopped the little scamp before though…
Fuck’s sake ❤️
If it wasn’t for that evil Meghan controlling him he’d have donated £100 million! Evil bitch! But awwww isn’t Kate lovely! Lovely lovely Kate! You can have that for free, @dailymail.co.uk you bunch of pricks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Postman Pat after he’s had a really big dinner?
Hopefully I’ll not get thorned on bin day now… may see if I can cut back some more at the weekend. Dad has suggested getting a powered strummer to make it easier, but tbh I think I do feel safer taking my time with shears.
Well I say a bit, I think I was at it for half an hour 😅
Chopped back the bramble bush a bit… having it in the back garden is a pain. I really want to pay someone to get rid of it, but birds use it almost certainly for nesting and food, so I’d feel bad about that aspect. But it’s got huge…
END OF RANT.
I just wish his normal pharmacy could just do it, as they can just deliver his other meds. There’s probably reasons why though, but it’s still annoying.
If he got them at his appointments it’d add another hour as he has so many meds he’d have to wait until a) they’re ready and b) someone could get them. Then he’d have to wait for hospital transport (he uses that as again, too far to walk from where he’d have to park, even further than the pharmacy).
It’s still slightly awkward, as he can’t wait there as its a car pick up/drop off point, so I need to wait for him to come back around 😅
Went with Dad to pick up his hospital meds, third time I’ve done it now I think (he has a renal appointment every 3 months), as parking is a nightmare and he’s been struggling to walk to the hospital pharmacy anyway. Smoothest pick up so far, I was in and out in a couple of minutes.
I’m not the Roger that @mrjamesob.bsky.social keeps mentioning btw. That Roger seems fairly intelligent.
meanwhile, in Nuneaton
![Post on Facebook by young white Nuneaton mum 22h Whilst I'm ranting we walked from bowling to middlemarch and saw this... a coach load of immigrants being lead into the back door of the holiday inn!!! Hang the flags high and realise that this isn't a joke!! I'll be at the next protest for sure!!! I'm not racist I'm a MOTHER!!!!!!!!!

when u make a silly joke on this platform
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY ALERT. THE CURRENT DEMOGRAPHIC WE WANT YOU TO HATE IS DOING BAD SHIT. HOLD ON TO YOUR HATE AND STAY CALM, UNION JACKS WILL BE DEPLOYED SHORTLY. GOD SAVE THE KING!
Though how many of you just instantly dismissed it without reading it, knowing it was coming? These tests would be the perfect time for the baddies to do baddie things.
Got the emergency alert a minute late. IIRC correctly I got it a minute early on the last test, so I guess it balances it out.
Or it’s the second time you’ve done it, but can’t remember.
This is just joyous. Almost didn’t watch it, glad I did. youtu.be/ljjWeHmeVE8?...
If it looks like a fascist, and quacks like a fascist…
I’m annoyed that it’s taken me so long until I watched Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, absolutely loved it. I’m also now annoyed it didn’t get a sequel when Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of Black Pearl got multiple (mediocre at best) sequels.
More people can now play Harold Halibut! This game is beautiful. I loved it so much
If Farage saying he would consider sending refugee children into the hands of the Taliban doesn’t disgust you, nothing he ever says or does will. I suspect he knows this. I suspect he’s testing whether he’s at Trump levels of knowing nothing he could say would shake his core support.
All the people that insisted that it was wrong to call Trump a fascist… we warned you.
I’ve never seen it before, and it was already on the way when I realised I could have watched it on Disney+ Absolutely no regrets, I’m loving it.
