watch this preferably on a big screen – Swedish rapper Yung Lean, musical project GENER8ION, choreographer Damien Jalet and director Romain Gavras' rendering of schoolyard nihilism and violence which transcends into something ... (to use Cole Haddon’s word) “magical” www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6_m...

wow – a second colony of 43,600 year-old plant clones discovered in Tasmanian wilderness 😀 makes you wonder at everything we've lost when forests are indiscriminately destroyed for 'profit' #science #nature #biology #botany #environment #Australia tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/very-ex...

finally got round to watching the delightful *Mrs. Davis* – now i’m not a huge fan of product placement in shows, but the use of the "British Knights" shoe brand is kinda genius so i found it weird that both Wikipedia articles neglected to mention the tie-in 🤔 #scriptsky #scifi #screenwriting

back on 4 February 2026, Australian-American conservative commentator Nick Adams, posted a “Dr Trump” image (left) on Xitter and Instagram (since deleted) – but when Trump posted his version, it had a horned figure – Snopes assumes it’s a hallucination ... but it looks more like bad retouching to me

It's so weird that I can't stop thinking about the 1987 movie "Matewan" with James Earl Jones and David Strathairn about working-class people standing up against private corporations who employ death squads to rob them of their rights and dignity. It's a mystery. Why this movie? Why now? I dunno
