I just want all the people and animals in the world to be happy. Bring back hanging.

Both films satirize contemporary society and its obsessions with wealth and status / profits. Robocop is perhaps the greater artistic triumph, though they are both flawless masterpieces.

[harry hutton @harryhutton]

It is curious that Hitchens mentions Great Expectations but not Robocop, despite the striking parallels between the two works.

-Pip is transformed into a *gentleman*, whereas Murphy is transformed into an *armoured cyborg*.

-Both are distanced from...

.@goodison2 . Top of my head: Great Expectations (David Lean version), Lawrence of Arabia, Dr Zhivago, North by Northwest , The Cruel Sea, In Which We Serve, Bicycle Thieves, the Battle of Algiers, Foreign Correspondent , the Lives of Others.

Family by the new identities foisted on them (by Magwich and Omni Consumer Products.)

-There are poignant homecoming scenes: Pip returning to the places where he was small; Murphy to his abandoned family house.

We never miss an episode of University Challenge in my house.

We don't know anything, so we shout, "Sir Robert Peel!" as the answer to every question.

About once every fifteen years that's the right answer.

@Liebenberg_Sam @London_W4 My Auntie Daph was torn limb from limb last week for eating a bagel.

I once played Odysseus in our school performance of Cats.

"I know it was you, Fredo," I yowled, as the curtain fell.

The critics were kind.

An idea from the 1930s whose time has come: Dennis Wheatley's Pills of Honour. Any cabinet that takes the nation to war must commit collective suicide.

@Ollie_Vargas_ @GunterFehlinger This is such an ignorant comment. There are loads of famous Austrians. Paul Hogan, Kylie Minogue and Rolf Harris, to name but three.

@AbcShav @DanielLMcAdams @BillAckman I don't have any morals or principles either, and I'm skint. There must be more to it than that.

@BDSixsmith "Shades of the prison house begin to close, upon the growing boy." It's all downhill from here. Happy birthday.

@BDSixsmith You are now closer to 50 than to 20. Thirty-five is the official start of middle age, when people really start to look and feel like shit.

Why couldn’t Israel dismantle and destroy Fordow with boots on the ground once they have total control of the facility and the area around it?

Juggling + speed cubing = knob raw from shagging. As the old saying goes.

I may not know much about women, but this much I *do* know: If there’s one thing that gets them hotter than a man who can juggle, it’s a guy who can solve Professor Ernő Rubik’s eponymous cube in five minutes or less.

I ain't got time to watch no interview with no trade expert at no Peterson Institute. I'm too busy watching YouTube clips of fist fights on buses

@AfterGrogBlog @rhodeislander Thanks, man.

I am far from being an admirer of this slippery blatherskite, but I don't think this photo reflects too badly on us. In the US, supposedly a citizen republic, he'd be surrounded by scowling Secret Service agents, so rich that he'd never too his own shopping in a million years.

This deepfake filth has been a Godsend. I used to spend about 20% of my salary on blackmail payments. These days, I can plausibly claim that genuine obscene images of me were computer generated by wrong-doers in Nigeria or Russia 👍

Britain's leaders made a bit of a dog's dinner of Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and some other places I don't remember right now. But I'm confident they know what they're doing this time. Got a good feeling about this one!

Sir Keir Starmer is focused on a "durable peace", Downing Street has said, after Donald Trump's envoy to Ukraine dismissed his "coalition of the willing" plan.

Dawkins, I need a favour. The wife's come home and found my collection of Big Sausage Pizza DVDs. Can I tell her they're yours? She's going to leave me, man!
