Most British people can name some things they like about American culture. For example, I like Superman. And Rupert Lowe likes trivialising the murder of schoolchildren for the sake of the gun lobby.

Me: See, they don't actually think sharks are smooth, but by insisting that they are, they are baiting people into wasting their time arguing that they're not.

Russia wants us to believe that the "criminal regime" of a "fake country" slipped through the entire Russian security apparatus and managed to drop a bomb on the Head of State's residence. In any other country, somebody would get fired for that. Putin should thank god he's still alive! /s

If you want to know how to make Elon Musk respect you, the European Commission fining him a pittance makes him call for the EU's abolition, while Russia banning/restricting X makes him shill for Russian politicians and protect them from fact-checking. He will always show his belly at a real threat.

Republicans are more mad at the people who don't care Charlie Kirk is dead than they are at the guy who killed him.

The government responding to Charlie Kirks' death by persecuting leftists and minorities is telling the far right that if they want to efficiently inflict violence on minorities and leftists, all they need to do is keep assassinating mainstream right-wingers. The state will do the violence for them.

You know, if half of the people that went on to do school shootings instead assassinated Internet pundits and political influencers, would the world really be made worse?

Paramount cancelled Colbert to appease Trump, then just strolled into paying $1.5 billion to say he is exactly like Saddam Hussein.

#Superman was a very, very silly movie in the best way possible. Will definitely be watching it again in cinemas at least two more times.

Demolition Man is a kaiju movie.
"Mothra/Wesley Snipes is attacking our city and we are powerless to stop them, they are too powerful/problematic for our conventional methods. We must awaken Godzilla/Sylvester Stallone to do battle with them."

Locals wouldn't dream of doing anything in the day. Why, when nights on Europa last 44 hours? If you deployed nearside you at least had Jovelight to help pick out the fissures and craters, but farside all you had above you was infinite stars, and they gave you nothing.

Wrestling is incredible. It has these characters called "heels" that say and do bad things, but the audience knows it's part of the show so they still like it. I wish we had heels in other forms of media.

The facts are that the Pope was an 88 year old man who'd just had an operation. But we're in an age of alternative facts, and the alternative fact is that J.D. Vance can literally kill people with how unpleasant he is to talk to.
