@sparry951 I wasn’t about to take each brand off a high stacked shelf to scrutinise the tops I’m afraid. I’m used to seeing it on the front 🤷‍♀️ but I’m old so remember these things

My brother teacher @EnochBurke is spending tonight in a tiny prison cell in Ireland after refusing to use “they/them” pronouns for a child. This is now over 600 days behind bars. Judges now want to ban his family from attending court. BUT THE TRUTH WILL NEVER BE SILENCED.

Judge Brian Cregan has threatened to ban Martina Burke, Ammi Burke and me from all future court hearings involving Enoch Burke, our son and brother. We wrote to the High Court today objecting to this unjust and unlawful proposal. burkebroadcast.com/2026/03/25/a-l…

Rather than call time on boys being part of a girls’ organisation - which was never supposed to happen - Guardian columnist Zoe Williams suggests the 'obvious solution' was a name change. 🙄 Quite apart from her dreadful “gender-neutral” name suggestions - KidGuiding or RangersRainbow - this isn’t how charities work. Girlguiding isn’t just a brand. It’s a charity with a defined purpose: for girls. You can’t simply rename it and carry on as before. Changing that purpose would require formal processes, consultation, and potentially regulatory approval. In other words - not a quick fix. Not a rebrand. And certainly not something you solve in a Guardian opinion column. Honestly ... Link to read below 👇

@LiLa__lee18 If that the case why are oven cooked fries 20 minutes plus time to heat up the oven or 13 minutes in the air fryer from cold? That’s like pretty much half the time… It’s similar tech but the execution makes both useful in different situations.

@U1tr0s @estherzelda0514 We kept watching and made it a success because we’d been invested since childhood and knew what was coming. Seeing new Star Wars on the big screen was still a thrilling even if it felt like it was being tainted with the first two movies. ROTS started the redemption by being good.

@U1tr0s @estherzelda0514 Were you actually around as an adult then or are you just looking at the commercial success? This OP is the fairest assessment of the situation I’ve seen, there were parts to love but overall things like JarJar, wooden acting and bad dialogue did a lot of damage.

Because I'm old and was of an age to be sentient when the Prequels were released, I can tell you that, until The Clone Wars was released and redeemed the series, the hatred for the Prequels was incandescent and pervasive and much worse than the hatred for the Sequels, although the Sequels (IMO) are much worse. You have to understand, the Prequels were not "nerdy" when they began releasing in 1999. They were as mainstream as Jurassic Park or Titanic. Everyone watched them. You would be made fun of if you didn't, actually. Back then, we had a distinct monoculture, where everyone was expected to know of certain things. We did not have the fragmentation of the market into niches or gatekept streaming services. The Prequels were absolutely one of those things. Picture the cultural event of the Barbie movie, except ten-fold. The Phantom Menace was released in 1999. The hype was absolutely massive. However, this was then met with almost uniform backlash. Most people, even famous standups or talk show hosts, were making fun of how incredibly annoying Jar Jar Binks and young Anakin were. This was extremely mainstream, it was not consigned to just fans. While the podracing and Obi-Wan's duel with Darth Maul were praised, the rest of the movie was considered childish, with stupid dialogue, and bad CGI. While Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, and Natalie Portman were sparred, the voice actor for Jar Jar, Ahmed Best, and the child who played Anakin, Jake Lloyd, faced such severe harassment that they later admitted in a documentary to suffering severe, long-landing mental health issues. Attack of the Clones came out in 2002, and this was was considered not as childish as the Phantom Menace, but still very stupid. Everyone harassed Hayden Christensen for his wooden dialogue. The cultural consensus was that he was a pretty boy that lacked talent. This took its toll, as after the Prequel series, Christensen left mainstream Hollywood entirely. People really started concluding, around this time, that Lucas himself was to blame for how bad the Prequels were, citing the incredibly unconvincing romance between Padme and Anakin, and the ridiculousness of the dialogue in those scenes. However, Ewan McGregor remained very popular, Natalie Portman grew in popularity, and the key action scenes (e.g., Kenobi versus Fett, Yoda versus Dooku, and the Battle Of Geonosis sequence) were praised. Outside of the action scenes, people still criticized the CGI. Revenge of the Sith is what this sequence was from, and it came out in 2005. This was, far and beyond, the most well-received of the Prequels. People liked the dark tone, increased action, and how it finally linked the Prequels to the Original trilogy. However, Padme's death sequence was the subject of mainstream and late night talk show ridicule, and people still noted Christensen's poor performance, melodrama, and stilted dialogue. There were some slap fights among fans whether this was on par with any installment of the Original trilogy, with people who had spent the last six years despising the Prequels extremely loud and insistent that it was still unredeemable garbage. None of these movies were at all safe to admit that you liked until The Clone Wars, nostalgia, and the poor quality of the Sequels redeemed them in retrospect. However, what is interesting is that the action sequences in the Prequels were always its strongest point, and most reasonable haters could admit that they were quite good. In contrast, the action sequences in the Sequels were always noted to be lackluster in comparison, and were criticized at release. However, the Sequel hate did not reach anything like the volume of the Prequel hate. Even The Last Jedi, the most controversial installment, was criticized only in niche circles. It wasn't the topic of mainstream jokes. When The Rise of Skywalker bombed, we all collectively winced and agreed it was bad, and moved on. There was little of the overwhelming monoculture discourse that accompanied the Prequels. Remember, the Prequels were released at a time when the monoculture was relentless in immiserating pop stars it deemed fair game. That dynamic of the culture no longer existed by 2015.

I genuinely can't understand how the previous generation saw this in 2005 and said "this sucks"

@hernandy_s Both Marvel and Sony make money from the Spider-Man films so there is no reason why they couldn’t make an agreement to have KingPin in them if they really wanted to. It’s just a commercial decision they haven’t decided is important enough yet.

@yilgorzorluu @DiscussingFilm We’ve got him in DareDevil (that’s confirmed I think?), his own special and in Spider-Man over the coming months. Surely that’s great for now and if the fans enjoy it who knows where he may pop up again? Including maybe his own show…

Man, after all that wait, Punisher’s back with just a 60-minute special? Why the hell didn’t they make a proper Season 3 ? Netflix killed it cause of Disney money fights, and now y’all drop this one-shot thing like it’s enough? we deserved real episodes, not this half-assed comeback. Step up or step off.

@pandemon1um_ @dayglowj0e Exactly, especially when the parent is a celebrity themselves, arguably more famous than her in that country. I’m sure he knows how intrusive fans can be and what his daughter did was nothing like that.

@_halfmortal @cmclymer She does owe that kid something because that kid was a polite, non intrusive symbol of her fandom. She owes everything to that kid. If she has such bad anxiety and fear of the public, she needs to have breakfast in her room, plenty of celebrities do that.

@cmclymer Sounds like you’re dictating to a private citizen what to do. She doesn’t owe the kid her time. How’s that hard to understand? The bodyguard was overzealous but that’s not her fault

Look... Chappell Roan may be exhausted with fame, and she's entitled to her privacy. Both are valid. But if you're sitting in a public restaurant and an 11-year-old child who idolizes you simply passes by and shyly and politely waves, you put down your fucking fork for a second and wave back at minimum. That's the bare minimum. You don't claim you were harassed. You don't send a security guard over to hassle the kid's family. You wanted a career in music. You wanted fans. Having a right to privacy does not mean the entire world, full of kids who admire and look up to you, is going to somehow pretend you don't exist when you're out in public. That's absurd. You offer kindness for kids because they're kids.

@dayglowj0e If it’s as described (and she didn’t deny that in her reply) all the kid did was smile. That’s the most tame fan interaction anyone could possibly have and the extreme response will have crushed that little girl’s heart. It’s Roan’s parents who raised an entitled child…

@malonebarry Were they using that language for other characters throughout the show or was that a mockery of our dangerously boring and simple PM? Ever felt like a joke went right over your head?

@scotlass42 It doesn't matter whether she said no, or yes. A 12 year old child cannot consent to sex. It's rape.
