    Anyone else feel like the NHS almost doesn't exist for them any more?

    Bob Dylan demands a phone and smartwatch-free show

    ...is really marred when most of the rest of the crowd is doing that. When it's a majority I don't see how the crowd can change it without pressure coming from the artists and venues.

    Disney + streaming video recommendations thread

    ...It does seem that Marvel make attempts to take risks and do something different (Wanda, Loki, She Hulk etc) but then just cave in (to studio pressure?) and turn everything into that same old marvel CGI snooze fest. I don't know much about actual marvel comics so I can't comment, but I really...

    The Virgin Mary

    You haven't said where it says what you have to believe in order to qualify as a Catholic. And in case you can't tell where this is going, I was then going to ask how you know that that authority was correct. And so on.
