It's not a direct attack on NATO though. If Russia launched a missile at the UK then it would be on like donkey kong.

NATO is a defensive pact, you fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us. Ukraine isn't a member but I support it's application to join.

Hot sauce, something sweet with mango or pineapple and hot enough to get a sweat on.

Adam Curtis' documentaries like HyperNormalisation, Bitter Lake, and the series Can't Get You Out of My Head were a big one for me. He has full access to the BBC's news archive and cuts all this really obscure footage together really creatively. His music cues are great too.

Thanks! I looked it up:

"Prince Alwaleed bin Talal agreed to roll over $1.9 billion worth of Twitter shares through his Kingdom Holding Company to Musk’s new private company, making him the second largest investor in Twitter. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, owns nearly 17% of Kingdom Holding, according to Reuters.

Meanwhile, Qatar contributed $375 million for the financing of Musk’s Twitter purchase."

I wonder if they're happy with how their investment is going?

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Saudis finance the deal to buy Twitter? Given the platform was used extensively by protesters during the Arab Spring, would it be worth it to them to pay for Musk to destroy it?

That's a pretty big mischaracterization of the movie.

Ah, got it, thanks!

I didn't get that, why were they horrendous?
