Narrator: "And after Mephiles did his evil dance."
Replying to @LlennoxYt
In one of the cutscenes in Silvers' story, Mephiles does a random spin before disappearing off screen. Always kinda made me giggle a little bit like why did bro do a spin? ππ

In Sonic 06, in the cutscene "The death of Elise?!" there's a specific shot of Knuckles that looks like he's falling onto the ground.
I checked the actual animation file and- apparently the actor was just crouching all along!

Knuckles's mocap animation literally shuts off mid-cutscene in Sonic's campaign

Capitalism lets people offer me things I donβt want. Central planning lets officials decide I donβt need things I do want. Iβll take capitalism any day of the week.

Andy Burnham, together with Liverpool mayor Steve Rotherham, appeared on a charity special of Channel 4's Gogglebox last night. The show began in 2013, but is still going, as all hit TV shows must in this benighted century.
The novelty of the format β watching viewers watch TV β is long gone, as the participants inevitably started acting up for the cameras. It may be a false memory, but I'm sure I remember the show being more caustic, a bit sharper. It is now crushingly cosy and twee. So, perfect for our Andy then.

Andy Burnham has time for Gogglebox. Does he have time to govern?
The Budget is where we discover what he believes, what his plan costs and who is going to pay for it.
Being convivial is no substitute for being in charge.

It's okay Suella isn't English according to her. But she also left out DISHONEST. #reformUK. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/sβ¦

"Here in America, I have followed the controversy about immigration and ethnicity, which has preoccupied many, and which has even divided some, in the conservative camp.
In Britain, we too know the consequences of mass immigration in past years.
In both our countries, we must recognise the priceless asset of a common language which forges national unity out of the multi-ethnic variety, and so makes democratic debate possibleβthe more so because the English language is soaked in the values of liberty."

And this is why we don't trust the Left with the truth.
BBC education website used by millions takes down Leftist views after pushing 'extreme views' on migration and Net Zero trib.al/Om4JTyf
LORD FEAR: "You know, Skarkill, that's what I like about the Left. One minute they prance around claiming to be the nicest, most compassionate people in the world. But the moment you challenge them, they turn into POL POT!"
SKARKILL: "Hehehehe! Nasty! Very nasty, Lordship!"
LORD FEAR: "Tolerance! Compassion! Equality! All very admirable. Until somebody commits the unforgivable crime of DISAGREEING WITH THEM!"
SKARKILL: "Ooh! What happens then, Lordship?"
LORD FEAR: "Apparently, Skarkill, you must be denounced, ostracised, publicly humiliated and dispatched to the nearest ideological re-education centre!"
SKARKILL: "Sounds like one of your dungeons, Lordship!"
LORD FEAR: "Precisely! Except I have the decency to admit I'm a tyrant!"
Unfortunately for #ReformUK they can't implement a TV Biased Channel in Britain.
According to Ofcom impartiality rules any business caught trying to promote their dominant views will be zapped with a max of Β£250,000 or 5% of it's entire revenue.
And if they resist will face automatic termination and having it's licence removed.
Just like RTUK.
