- This is the political equivalent of letting a dog finally eat the box of biscuits it's spent years eyeing before the vet drops a brick on it
- Easily going to win that 'PM for a Day' show, because I were the Prime Minister I would not knowingly replace my widely respected Ambassador with a guy whose career is a tumour of scandals and who I know was best mates with a pedophile sex trafficker after said pedophile sex traffickers conviction
- Keir Starmer, controversial to some, politically dead now
- Largely I'm thinking about the Duncan-Glancy scandal and now this is a trend for Labour leaders rn
- Overdon, Mandelson, McSweeney... if only there was someone who linked them all
- I find the Korean War fascinating as an overview reads like a bad military fic
- Extremely fluid front line in its first year sees the South pushed back to a coastal pocket, then the UN launches an amphibious invasion halfway up the country that collapses the North and sees troops pissing into the far north river, then China invades and it settles into trenchlines for 3 years
- Now a frozen conflict, no Kim isn't a Chinese puppet despite them fighting his war, biggest impact on Western culture is M*A*S*H*
- Truman and MacArthur assume the Chinese are capping about crossing the border, MacArthur behaves like a gangster instead of a soldier, Britain stops paying for teeth and eyecare to pay for artillary shells
- Iron Lung crazy because used to be if you made $21m on a $3m budget, Kevin Feige would personally arrive on your doorstep and force you at gunpoint to make an X-Statix movie
- The Stranger Things conspiracy theories about additional episodes is funny but it's sad how no one is just going "this all means Vecna won, that's the ending and what the ending REALLY means" as a way of baiting them into making a new episode
- The Duffers clearly don't know what happened in their own show so I think this is how it could have worked
- The groundhog saw its shadow, six more weeks of Labour scandals
- Hmm if only someone had promised democratic reform to the Lords
- If working at my current job has led me to any conclusion, it's that cigarettes are still too cheap
