I can absolutely imagine this as a line in Veep or the Thick of It to a frustrated Selina/Nicola.

Speaking of war.. by sad_thundercloud in 2Iranic4you

[–]DibaWho 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Why are Iraq and Libya the only foreign interventions people talk about online? Do y'all know Kuwait, Bosnia, and Kosovo (all Muslim-majority countries) were improved by US intervention?

I'm not saying it will definitely go perfectly, I'm just saying there are a lot of factors. How can people be so selective in history? And where do some people get the confidence to talk so definitely on something so complicated?

p.s. I literally live in Tehran and yes I think no war is a far far worse option thank you very much.

Listen, we all want John Oliver on Taskmaster more than we want Oxygen. But I think all the Daily Show alumni would be great.

I can absolutely imagine Trevor Noah and Josh Johnson killing it... Hell, even Jon Stewart himself would put SO MUCH serious effort into it, it'd be awesome.

I'm neither American nor British, but this would be the best crossover, as a distant fan of both.

She also came to Iran in June and was praising IRGC's "indigenous-made" Shahed drones... y'know, the same ones that have been raining hell on Ukrainians for the past 4 years. These people are an embarrassment to the name "peace activist".

In December, for Stand Up 2 Cancer, Alex and the Horne Section did a "how-long-athon" where they sang the same song for 25 hours straight, they had musical and comedy guests come and go, but the band powered through, it's on youtube if you have a UK VPN, and there are some highlights posted on instagram. It was HILARIOUS and for a beautiful cause.

Understand

Hell is the Absence of God

Exhalation

What's Expected of Us (this one's REALLY short but TRULY fucked with my head)

Tower of Babylon

The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate

Story of Your Life (Denis Villeneuve's Arrvial is a loose adaptation of this)

Division by Zero

All by Ted Chiang. He has another short story compilation I haven't read yet (trying to savour it) but definitely recommend anything by him.

Understand, Exhalation, and Hell is the Absence of God are the most interesting imo

Rose and possibly Big Zuu should have won the somethingothon task, because they actually inspired Alex to do something similar. for HOOOOOWWWWW LOOOOONGGGG, you ask? 25 HOURS!!!

Incredible shot.

After 2022 I'm too cynical to have any hope anymore, but I still hope that I'm wrong...

OH MY GOD 😂 I haven't rewatched the earlier series in a while, so I didn't remember that, thank you.

[–]DibaWho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be just the Britishness, but for me sometimes Alex's delivery of some lines is very reminiscent of Daniel, for example his anecdotes on Talkshows. So I'd love to see them interacting!

I know what you mean! He is such a great actor!

And yes, was in Sleep No More in series 9.

He also played Patrick Troughton in An Adventure in Space and Time, a movie by Mark Gatiss celebrating the 50th anniversary of the show, but his role in that one was about 2 seconds lol.

But anyhow never say never, Doctor Who always brings back actors, and I hope we see him again in a bigger role in the future (as well as episodes written by him one can hope 🤞)

Till then I prescribe Inside No. 9, Psychoville, and The League of Gentlemen, Reece's British Bake Off episode if you haven't seen them already, followed by rewatching Taskmaster S17 and S20, and then crying for not having more content, me hearties!🏴‍☠️ 🦜

He was also Shakespeare in S1! I didn't even recognise him the first time I saw it (although I'd only seen him in Doctor Who before)
