Most of them ended up too dark, but got my film photos from Amsterdam last summer developed

Decided the new flat was a good excuse to finally start properly framing all our prints/posters. First up, Charlotte’s beloved Carrie/Gary Fisher art:

Not convinced at all that TOY STORY 5 should exist (and I was a strong advocate for 4), but Woody going bald is a great bit, marvellous job.

It is 2005-2015, and every online discussion about Star Wars features the same tired, unfounded jabs at the prequels. It is 2019-2026, and every online discussion about Star Wars features the same tired, unfounded jabs at the sequels.

man TROS took a beating on here yesterday. is there some kind of pressure valve that has to get released periodically via the same old complaints

The left doesn't hate technology, we hate being exploited: aftermath.site/anthropic-clau...

They’re doing this to me tomorrow

Statement from Virginia Giuffre’s family: “Our broken hearts have been lifted by the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty... He was never a prince. For survivors, everywhere, Virginia did this for you.”

Publicists who represented Johnny Depp during his 2022 trial against Amber Heard charged Jeffrey Epstein five figures a month for representation during 2017, according to invoices in the Epstein Files. Their PR strategies for Epstein reflect the later MeToo backlash. spitfirenews.com/p/epstein-jo...

that's silly, it's not going to work, trains are too fast for that

I used to get angry about movies much more regularly when I was an up-and-coming film snob at uni, but recently Alex Garland’s MEN did my fucking head in. A bad filmmaker making crap is one thing, but a writer-director you *know* can do so much better falling on his arse while thinking he’s smart…

I love representation

So-called ‘free thinkers’ when fish and chips come out of the oven.

Is there a technology the left is excited about?" It's called the clamshell e-reader from It Follows, and I've been waiting for it since 2014

POV: you have a large nose and close your left eye

It’s only been a month, but I’m absolutely convinced that nothing else I see in cinemas this year will move me like the ‘Ordinary World’ bit in BONE TEMPLE.

He’s started mirroring her, I can’t 😭

what circle of hell is "dude from clone wars' terrible homage to seven samurai is now getting movie screentime for some reason"

New flat came with a hallway mirror which means, for the first time in my adult life, I have the means to take full-length mirror selfies 🫡

“Why do I feel fucking knackered all the time lately?” Ah.

Favreau reheating JJ's nachos lol

American Century of Humiliation is manifesting in ways I did not predict.

Guy who gets annoyed that these are shaped like bricks instead of LEGO minifigure feet. (It's me, I'm guy)

Didn't post this at the time due to my social media break, but I need you all to enjoy the sheer lunacy of this email we got at work a few weeks ago:

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.

Try this if you have trouble sleeping

A very agreeable young man

Mobile wifi box held out for a whole game of Helldivers 2*, we are so fucking back, lads. *provided it was positioned just right on the office windowsill.

Can’t wait to get stuck into my backlog here and get streaming again once we have proper internet (and when I can be bothered to un-bubble wrap all the LEGO)

the photo and headline framing make it seem like their gay love affair has rocked the foundations of the Beckham family

The sky is blue, the cats are dozing in a patch of sun, and the dehumidifier auto-detected that our new flat is at ideal humidity, so immediately turned itself off with a cheerful beep 🥲

It’s been a very long and very tiring week and I don’t think I realised how exhausted I am until just now, when two people looking at each other lovingly in an episode of FUCKING BRIDGERTON that Charlotte had on in the background made me burst into tears 😭

Everyone’s favourite part of moving out 🫠

A little bit horny for this one, ngl

RAYMAN MY BELOVED #StateofPlay

I’m not a conspiracist, but in the 24 hours since I got this 4G WiFi thing, video quality has been inconsistent and occasionally very low-res on everything EXCEPT adverts.

Testing the new viewing platforms: Saph vs. Arthur

Went to pick up a temporary internet box from Three, and they had to re-do my entire order while I waited because the original one was under ‘Chris’ but the ID I brought for collection said ‘Christopher’ 🙃

sigh

Seeing everyone on the frontlines of Cyberstan while I have no home internet:

Had a couple of things go wrong in the new place already besides the lack of internet so naturally I feel like the world is ending.

Engineer showed up and did the exterior cable work they told me they’d already sorted weeks ago. Told me he’d ask the team to move up the router installation, but not holding my breath. Anyway, hope everyone else enjoys the new Helldivers 2 event 😭

This is my favourite piece of discourse on it
