Is there any reason why UK cinema and event schedules are so shitty to navigate?

Possibly the finest interaction ever on Twitter.

Nothing like finding something you used to use in a museum to confirm that you are over the hill.

It should matter to all of us that our president lies every time he opens his mouth. And it should matter to all of us that he’s using his office to stuff billions into his pockets & his family’s pockets. Democracy ends if it doesn’t matter. 2day’s show.👇 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
