- Yes! -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 14, 08:24
- Pretty incredible job diversifying the MCU portfolio. -- nm - budice Oct 14, 07:50

Will Liz Truss still be in office when her biography comes out “for Christmas”? Seems unlikely. -- (link) - mafic Oct 14, 07:33 7

Activists with @JustStop_Oil have thrown tomato soup on Van Gogh’s Sunflowers at the national Gallery and glued themselves to the wall. -- (link) - Remlik Oct 14, 06:54 15

That She-Hulk finale was a mess. Still, the whole season was a lot of fun. -- nm - Inigo Oct 14, 06:33 1
