Theme is indecision, maybe?

If she had a bit of a sense of humour about herself she might’ve been able to pull off a bit of a rehabilitation, but her extreme sourness shows someone as detestable personally as she was politically.

5. Rolling Stones - Wild Horses WAbulldog one of my favourite songs - considered nominating it myself but it felt like cheating. More fool me, enjoy your win! 4. Band of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You MC Bad Genius saw them in concert around the time this came out, was one of my favourite ever...

It’s pretty great and worth prioritising over everything else! How far in are you?

Fair enough, I guess I didn't see it that way and thought it took more of a "Jesse needs to loosen up a bit more" story. But maybe I'd connect better on a rewatch, God knows my view seems to be an extreme minority. I did note Benji make the point about not engaging with any Polish people on the...

Damn, it really was worth submitting a wishlist this year. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/anita-bryant-dead-singer-orange-juice-gay-rights-1236105715/ Hot off the heels of Jean-Marie Le Pen, the year’s off to a ripping start.

Given I nominated the soundtrack to the Lynch show, cautiously optimistic about the way this is being announced.

I considered doing my first list for this and to make it essentially a wishlist, before not really having the time for something that wouldn't reap dividends. But it'd be off to a good start so far!

Have you seen the current state of Twitter under Elon Musk? Everyone gets content creators such as these pushed their way. It’s an amusing video. I don’t endorse the other posts from the same poster, which you can tell because I didn’t post them.

You know that it’s possible that some people take information and don’t end up drawing the same conclusions as you? And that coming to different conclusions isn’t of itself an act of bad faith? He probably would’ve gone to The Hague. Again, you argue against things I don’t say. What I did say...

But if Trump's a fascist whose coming to power will upend democracy in the United States, should the Democrats really have offered a dignified ceremony and not fought it every step of the way?

Newer to this than most. Seems to encourage joke nominations and also discourage things that are divisive and esoteric (I’m clearly not over Geordie Greep last round).

I don’t think World War II is the same as the rest listed. I guess Roosevelt’s luck is dying before the bombs were dropped and so avoids the legacy of that, if one assumes he would’ve done the same (I’m not sure). Certainly his replacing Wallace with Truman as his Vice President had calamitous...

Best by a long way is Roosevelt. It’s a pretty long fall from there, but I think the rest of the top five would be the stretch of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon.

So many straw men here it’s hard to know where to begin. I didn’t say the Biden administration didn’t do anything right (I’ve always stood by the withdrawal of Afghanistan, and Build Back Better, whatever my want for something more, was a positive), but I do think the hundreds of thousands of...

Out of legitimate curiosity, what's your idea of a centrist?

Isn't this essentially bipartisan legislation (it passed the Senate 76-20 and the House 327-75) that came from Congress rather than being anything the White House pushed for? I'm happy to be proven wrong - and hey, Biden didn't veto it so that's obviously good - but I don't know if it's a big...

Much like Biden, the longer he clung on despite it obviously being over, the more damage was being done to his party's chances of winning the next election, but he did it anyway. And much like Biden, I'm sure after they lose the election he'll claim that he would've been able to win it despite...

Javier Milei is trying to push through reforms that will increase the work day to 12 hours, with no overtime. It will also allow companies to pay workers partially with tickets that can only be used at supermarkets or specific designated businesses. Sounds great! Article in Spanish.

To be fair, he's got one eye to his legacy. It's just that he's a senile, genocidal fool.

A Real Pain - Jesse Eisenberg's directorial debut, starring him and Rory Culkin as a pair of cousins travelling to Poland shortly after the grandmother's death, to retrace her life there before the Holocaust and her move to the United States immediately afterwards. They join a guided tour of...

Given every poll says campaigning with Cheney actively hurt Harris during the election, I think the heads exploding are mostly from people who hoped that the Democrats would figure out their failings and do better, only to see them continue to double down.

He’s probably right. I think you can point to any year of the 1970s and find numerous films amongst the best ever, probably moreso than any other decade (and certainly moreso than any other decade since). For example, go to 1974 and there's The Godfather Part II, Chinatown, A Woman Under the...

Two final films for 2024. Anora - some of the hype for this is going to hurt it, being the Palme d'Or winner at Cannes and the favourite for the Oscar for Best Picture. That said, it is a very enjoyable film - very funny and great performances. By director Sean Baker's standards it's reasonably...

I think the ALP’s social media presence is generally pretty ****ing abysmal (Crikey did a rundown of some of their awful “who is this for?” posting of the last year). I don’t think this post is anything close to brilliant but I don’t see how this is off limits. She went public making comment...
