It's an incredible cut, I would never have noticed if it wasn't pointed out. Here's another example from an ad that is 30 years old now and still blows my mind - keep an eye on the location, the jumps are quite.. spectacular.😂 @SpaceKoala @FilmJournalGuy
I never noticed the jump from the matte painting to the miniatures trench before, but now I can't unsee it

I’m sure President Zelensky appreciates the fashion advice @Nigel_Farage. Anything to say on how your mates Trump & Vance handled the meeting?

Among the least likeable of human beings are bullies, and those who toady to them. Trump – Putin’s Poodle – manages to combine both: his arrogant bullying of Zelensky, in the service of his barfworthy toadying to the Russian bully. freethoughtblogs.com/pharyng…

Trump's conversion of rthe United States into a satellite of Russia is a horrifying and degrading betrayal of democracy and liberty and a monstrous act against Ukraine but it is also exceptionally dangerous for the world. Any GOP members of Congress not speaking out loudly and vehemently will go down in history as quisling accomplices in this act of profound shame and wickedness

He used to be a Labour MP.
Three cheers for @realDonaldTrump and @JDVance, who told Zelenskyy a few home truths today about the needless bloody war in #Ukraine. Let's give peace a chance.

The Brexit architects merry go round. Cameron back to help clear up the mess his referendum created. Johnson making millions while a Covid Inquiry shreds what little was left of his credibility. Farage heading to the jungle for £1.5m to add ITV to institutions he has damaged 1/3

This guy - who inter alia claims horse paste cures cancer - doesn’t like being called out for his grifting bullshit.

It’s almost like @A1an_M is too chicken to debate me.
Come on, @A1an_M - can we set a date for our debate?

I’ve tried to send personal thanks to all the people who’ve sent me kind and supportive messages, but there are too many of you. So thank you — with so much rage and unreason flying about, it’s good to know that plenty of people are thinking and listening and staying rational.

British politicians know perfectly well why the BBC avoids the word ‘terrorist’, and over the years plenty of them have privately agreed with it. Calling someone a terrorist means you’re taking sides and ceasing to treat the situation with due impartiality. The BBC’s job is to place the facts before its audience and let them decide what they think, honestly and without ranting. That’s why, in Britain and throughout the world, nearly half a billion people watch, listen to and read us. There’s always someone who would like us to rant. Sorry, it’s not what we do.

And as you kept saying Hotez was a coward for declining to debate, you won’t decline this invitation, will you, Alan?

Don’t like scrutiny, @A1an_M ? Maybe that’s why you hide behind anonymity? You argued that Hotez had something to hide because he wouldn’t debate RFK. So I challenge you to a debate. Online. You’ll need to show your face and use your real name, though.
