Sophia Coppola's Less Than Zero

The first track on the first album from one the biggest bands in the world was written about my father's goddaughter who was, for a while, my nanny.

War on Iran is a bad idea probably and probably should be opposed by reference to the foreseeable bad consequences. Or you can do whatever sick shit this is:

In another season when a lot of big brands are "Here is some beautiful fabric and handwork on a big shape" bless future husband Haider Ackerman at Tom Ford for all this. Shirt in Pic. 1 very much on the list

Will Iran's offensive missile and drone capacities be fully degraded within the month, enquiring geopolitical minds with flights through Qatar on 1st April want to know.

It's a sort of Main Character Syndrome that leads to this reality-detached take, isn't it?

An actual avowed Nazi might be scarier, but would probably be sufficiently sui generis that it wouldn’t say much. What’s worse is that we’re entering a world where being willing to talk to Holocaust deniers on their podcasts is how insurgent anti-establishment candidates signal “authenticity.”

Useful trick from the 00's; it's basically pronounced "I'm a dinner jacket"

He's taking it well. Incidentally, I would happily contribute to the crowdfunder for someone to contact every single one of the the distinguished academics who signed that letter supporting him to ask what they think about it now.

Very real “rest in the most acidic of piss Saddam but this war is still terrible” vibes hitting home.

Oh, you think this is a laugh riot, don't you? Well, I'll tell you something that's not so funny. Right now David Miller is at home crying like a little girl.

Desperately trying to workshop a joke using this clip before it's confirmed that the horrible old fossil has indeed been killed

ROUND CHAMBER KLAXON

Deeply unfair to write that there has been infighting since the launch. It's important to understand that it started before the party was founded.

The slur discourse has now peaked, thank-you

Glasgow has a pretty significant minority ethnic community, are we sure it's okay letting that guy go out when the streets are busy?

"We're honouring the film about the guy who has struggled throughout his life to make people understand that he doesn't mean to say the foul things he says, exploring the horrible isolation and loneliness he has faced. So we got him a nice soundproof booth so no one has to hear him"

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is excellent but how about more than 6 episodes next series? Ridiculous

Americans. Fucking hell

have been observing this discourse from a distance determined not to engage but am completely agog at this apparently serious suggestion the bafta's should have built a "tourette's booth"

"Sure he's a capital F Fascist but this is about Israel so here's me being really really impressed. I am Sky News International Affairs Editor, apparently"

Brianna is in the ‘those tricky Jews!’ phase of her descent into open anti semitism

Update from first foray into the serious shops of 2026: tragedy as all new Valentino is too short in the sleeves even two sizes up, Prada prices have become genuinely insulting, and I've started to realise I maybe do need a sleek black leather jacket. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

In this house we do not slag off the Duchess of Windsor's jewellery. The old nazi had lamentably superb taste in gems.

Look, she was fully exonerated and Starmer will weather this storm, it will all have been worth it as he goes from strength to strength...for a whole 10 weeks until the results of the local elections on May 8th inevitably lead to his resignation.

I can only conclude at this point that Starmer actually wants to be forced out.

Ooh I should get a doctorate this looks legit

This is interesting but an important point of difference between writing-shaped AI objects and coding-shaped AI objects is that one *is* the product, the other is just supposed to do something. So it's obviously more immediately a usable thing than AI writing which frankly isn't, still.

After reading the Times extract I'm somewhat dubious about Kids, Wait Till You Hear This! My Memoir "as Told to" Micheal Feinstein "by" Liza Minelli.

For the first time ever, eBay has advertised a product I have bought and will buy again. Can you guess which one?

So I went to see it and I think my real takeaway is that it's incredibly boring? Martin Clunes, Alison Oliver, production design only good bits. And I'm sorry but Margot Robbie is 10 years too old. She looks every one of her beautiful 35 years in a way that jars horribly with her character.

A friend, struggling to remember the appropriate term, just described a gender reveal party as "a baby sex party" which was quite the showstopper in the pub.

This would be a lot less patently dishonest if their deputy leader hadn't given 5 Pillars an exclusive interview recently. Note also the strawman so large it's almost a dog-whistle.

This has three types of QT: 1. So true, we must talk about Zionist cabals running the world for the dire purposes of their strange religion through blackmail and secret maybe even occult plots without antisemitism. 2. No actually it's Jews. 3. Omg this isn't satire.

I can believe Hannah Spencer doesn't know who 5 Pillars are but Mothin Ali? I don't think so. 5pillarsuk.com/2026/02/14/g...

Daniel says it better and more calmly but they're fucking wrong'uns

This is terrifying. Unless you can do maths and check one (1) fact. Just the leaks from US household consumption alone total 900 billion gallons.

In case you're wondering, the Greens 4 Palestine motion includes such treats as the Soviet "Zionism is racism" and the full batshit internet crank "ARabS aRE sEMitEs acTUalLY". They're so cooked, and so is Polanski eventually. www.jewishnews.co.uk/greens-leade...

Amazingly this post isn't a joke?

I have a jumper with this embroidered on from JW Anderson, which I love very much.

Come for the journalism, stay for the mad guerilla pothole repair set to opera

Officially the slowest car I've ever owned now that Wiltshire's potholes have reached a level that can only be described as "Albanian back road", because it has rubber band tyres.

This sucks, Maximilian Davis has been sacked at Ferragamo. Loved his stuff, bought a fair bit, and while Sabato di Sarno who has replaced him is good, it just feels like yet more lack of giving a designer an opportunity to build something. Which ironically is what happened to the latter at Gucci

It's sunny FOR ONCE, I'm driving out to a friend's in the countryside on a not-too potholed road. Yes, it's time for the crunchy wedding dance track from Andor season 2. NIAMOS! (Chandrilian Club Mix) (From "Andor (Season 2)") by Nicholas Britell on Qobuz open.qobuz.com/album/j7zkwn...

Ah well, resignation-watch starts now

It's weird but I think I would notice if my other half 's apparent disposable income more than doubled for several years.

What's telling about this reactionary project is the cropping to ensure that no photo includes the staggering collection of skyscrapers which surrounds the site. Which tells us it is aimed solely at people who've never been there, a cousin to the "You get stabbed in London" posting of Reform-ites.

The 20th Century Society are on full meltdown on Twitter about the redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station, posting some of the least compelling before and after pictures in the world. To be fair, trad weirdos on Twitter are the only people who'd fall for this:

"Government Source" whose name rhymes with Bantonia Domeo.
