"you've spun your last web, Spiderman" and Dafoe's delivery of it is the kind of thing that's incredibly cool to a ten year old but very silly to an adult but still kind of cool. The almost impossible-to-nail ideal tone for a comic book film

Late Blairism was hardly good either and the current malaise was already seeping into the foundations, but the Coalition and subsequent Conservative govts basically set a ticking timebomb for local authorities having to salami-slice their budgets to meet legal requirements.

Britain, where the national equality body is a boobyhatch jam-packed with wingnut cranks who fervently believe their job is creating weapons for police to hammer minorities that the press hates and wants to harm.

British gender critical movement comes together to mourn the loss of domestic abuser and peadophile.

Been going back to the old Orson Welles interviews and I love this part with BBC where they ask him what he would do if a millionaire gave him all the money he wanted, and he immediately started talking about police violence

on twitter it’s considered narcissistic to not want people to say “i’m going to kill myself” on photos of yourself

@SexMattersOrg @HJoyceGender @WRN_NI JenocideJoyce got handed her arse and pulled up on being toxic, with a nasty attitude. By a woman she can't buy or bully. She was spitting feathers.

Big fan of the costume designs Jack Kirby did for a college production of Julius Caesar

It’s an interesting fact that the name “Nimrod” spent most of history meaning “Great hunter” until Bugs Bunny came among and sarcastically said “What a Nimrod” by way of mocking Elmer Fudd and people misunderstood, assumed it meant “Moron”, and now it does mean moron

It's actually this that signals the death of creativity, not AI. The sneering gatekeepers of the ruling class, funneling their friends and children into positions of cultural production.

[sandra @mrsDugskullery]

I tell you what they did for NUM during the Miners strike 1984.
They reversed the footage at Orgreave giving the impression miners attacked the police first.
In fact it was the other way around.
Later the police own video proved this was a lie in court.

They never apologised.

admitting that you hadn’t worked out how to fund a widely hated policy that you were pushing on with regardless isn’t quite the flex you think it is

The DCC girls organized with their coworkers, did a march on the boss and threatened a walkout which resulted in a 400% pay increase. Personally I absolutely love to see it

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Getting this in early: The defence industry is one of the worst possible investments if you want fiscal multipliers. It’s absolutely terrible: capital-intensive, highly automated, low labour demand, minimal secondary impacts.

Military Keynesianism doesn’t exist

LL here is directing shots at Emily Wilson.

Odysseus as a traumatized warrior goes back at least to Jonathan Shay's "Odysseus in America" and "Achilles in Vietnam"

Odysseus as a proto-settler-colonialist goes back at least to Franz Fanon's "Wretched of the Earth"

[Namwali @namwalien]

We get a literalist take (how many times did we hear law of Zeus 🙄?) rather than being asked to interpret signs ourselves. This bluntness of form, however creative Nolan's theory of Odysseus, will obsolesce the film while the tricky, ambiguous ancient poem continues to haunt. /5
