Ep1 had the podracing sequence and I will forgive it many things for that alone, because the N64 game it spawned was aces.

Very difficult though, as I remember. I couldn't get very far in it.

And quite a lot of millennials. I was like...13 when Phantom Menace came out and I think I'd been shown the OT in the years preceding that.

I think I was stuck trying to find races to do to earn money to buy better bits for the podracer, I remember they got super expensive and I think you couldn't redo existing races for cash or something?

they've already trademarked "Sussex Royal" for products (including "mental health clinics" in the US) and the US media, who has lapped up Markle content for months now, will basically give her anything she wants. seeing people like Ash Sarkar cape for Meghan because she's black has been mind-bending.

I wonder what liberals think the world is like.

Cos to me, liberalism is the sort of default state of thinking, it's the dominant ideology you fall into if you haven't got a better one.

What do liberals think the world is full of if not other liberals? Because the only thing I can imagine is p-zombies.

The presenters take off their heads. They're Rory Stewart.

The crowd takes off its head. It's Ian Dunt's How to be a Liberal.

The roaring amplifies. The air tastes like burning salt. There is a noise at the edge of hearing as electrical devices throw off coronal discharge and begin to fail. A dark spot forms in the middle of your vision. Birds die. Jo Swinson takes off her head. It is squirrels.

The only reason we haven't had an election sooner was because of Brexit. The last three years of government here have been FG being supported in confidence and supply by FF. Both parties have their origins in the Civil War, traditionally being bitterly opposed. They have taken turns governing the country since the foundation of the State.

Neither party expected the confidence and supply agreement to last very long, but then Brexit happened and neither wanted to rock the boat during negotiations and have concerns over the boarder used as a stick in an election. As soon as the Tories got a workable majority, an election was going to happen.

Things won't exactly go better for the UK as a result of the Irish GE. You will either get continuity with FG and Varadkar (unlikely but possible), a slightly harder line with FF being soft nationalists, or, if polling holds and gets better, Taoiseach Mary Lou of Sinn Fein. The last one is the least likely to happen, as Sinn Fein constantly underperform compared to polls, but a lot of people are very angry at FF and FG so it can't be completely discounted.
