    The man pictured is Paul Rudd, from the MCU film Ant-Man & The Wasp.

    His daughter is trick or treating dressed as The Wasp (and carrying an Avengers bag)

    He's not dressed as Ant-man despite actually 'being' Ant-man


    It amused me

    Ah, thanks for the clarification. I'm not into that whole "world".

    I liked Steve Buscemi dressed up for Halloween as his "how do you do, fellow kids" meme.

    Please tell me he is dressed up as something though and doesn't usually look like that?

    Irony... or serves them right.

    Seven anti-vaccine doctors fell sick after gathering earlier this month for a Florida “summit” at which alternative treatments for Covid-19 were discussed.

    “I have been on ivermectin for 16 months, my wife and I,” Dr Bruce Boros told the audience at the event held at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, adding: “I have never felt healthier in my life.”

    The 71-year-old cardiologist and staunch anti-vaccine advocate contracted Covid-19 two days later, according to the head event organizer, Dr John Littell.

    Littell, an Ocala family physician, also told the Daily Beast six other doctors among 800 to 900 participants at the event also tested positive or developed Covid-19 symptoms “within days of the conference”.

    It shouldn't be a massive surprise Farage is shilling in Serbia.

    Nation with a strong proud history of far right populism (though the incumbents define themselves against the other populist party by being pro-EU, so I guess there is work for Farage).

    One of the recent McNab or Ryan books had a character who was almost certainly modelled on Farage (short of calling the character by the same name it couldn't have been more obvious) although in that one he was cosying up with an ultra nationalist in Hungary rather than Serbia.

    Since we haven't got a hypocrisy thread (don't worry, @pinno , I'm not going to suggest starting one), this can go here.

    "Lizzo accused of sexual harassment and weight-shaming"

    For context, here is a photo of Lizzo.

    I assumed she was alleged to have commented on someone being too skinny but it was actually supposed comments to a dancer who had put on weight.

    Not all museum items are stolen.
    I'd need more background to see the irony.

    The ex staff member should start displaying them at their home labelled as "contested items" that they "salvaged".

    I really don't want to go down a tangent on this but the items could have simply been donated. I'm done until I know otherwise.
