Prevaricate

speak or act in an evasive way (with the intent to deceive); to lie

The Scales ⚖️

@shakethescales.bsky.social

There's a scenario in which I'd prefer Starmer to survive a challenge! 🤯

Streeting prevaricated so much, it's clear he may not have the backing for a bid, but his personal ambition means he can't wait while Burnham is blocked. Starmer is toast. Streeting losing would humiliate him utterly. Win win!

Deep Sense of Creeping DreⱯd 2024

@devedy.bsky.social

non-spoiler Hathaway 2 thought - the way the robot action is directed in this movie is really interesting. They do a lot more to emphasize the robots as big, kind of lumbering machines. The sense of scale of the robots themselves relative to small human settlements and large open spaces is potent
