Some good news for a change.

For obvious reasons, I think I'll be avoiding the news for a good while, which ultimately means avoiding this and most other social media. Stay frosty everyone. 🍂🍃

EM Forster was a schoolboy when Oscar Wilde was imprisoned for gross indecency and lived to watch the moon landing with Christopher Isherwood. Watching Neil Armstrong step onto the lunar surface, Forster muttered, “I don’t think they should be doing that.”

I know there's lots of shit going on right now but people REALLY need to get a whole lot better at checking sources and facts. Just because something aligns with your personal hopes/views, that doesn't mean it's true. In these times I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle on this one though... 🤷‍♀️

Umm... I'm pretty sure this is AI. There's no space inside the light and cats legs don't work like that either.

You can almost feel it... that little bit of cooler air seeping through, the leaves heavy and waiting. Autumn. It's close...

Aug 31st 1997 - At 4am Amélie Poulain decided she would reunite the box of treasures she found hidden in her bathroom earlier that morning with the owner, and if he was touched by the act, she would dedicate her life to making others happy. 📽️📅 Amélie (2001)

Aug 29th 1997 - "It is August 29th. In 48 hours, her life will change for ever, but she doesn't know it yet." 📽️📅 Amélie (2001)

Donny has no idea where the fuck he is or who he's fucking talking to but it's all just fine. Don't worry about him being leader of a fucking nuclear superpower or anything.

It's depressing and debilitating being forced to deal with the consequences of other people's arrogance and hedonism. I'm just trying to live reasonably with what little I have.

If you haven't already, I can thoroughly recommend watching 'Man on Wire', the brilliant and strangely moving documentary about this.

Maybe now the ultimate radical act is to write/draw/paint something and NOT put it online. To not even show it to anyone if you don't want to. Just a pure act of creation for yourself.

We've created a true horror with AI imagery. Now you will NEVER be able to know 100% that an image or video is real. Even images from the past are now suspect. This has so many societal implications, it's dizzying. Everything has changed. I'm not sure that I want to participate in a world like this.

Murray might be the comedy focus but Dreyfuss adds so many tiny details to his performance, perfectly conveying a man using pomposity to hide a fragile ego. An absolute underrated gem!

Richie: "Well for dinner tonight, Eddie, I thought I might stick my spam in Vincent's cheesy casserole." ... Richie and Eddie: "Oooeerr!"

Hug yer moggy! #caturday

There will never be a time in my life when I don’t howl like a trumpet at “7p on Sad Ken” x

who is JR Hartley and why do I have to name his book before I can see some bottoms

Soooo... despite not having verified my age, I've had several posts suggested in my feed which were p0rn-adjacent. Oh, and as a bonus, one was completely AI generated. Well done for "protecting the kids"... 🤦

I've lost access to DMs until I agree to associate this account with either my face or my financial information. Since that's not going to happen I suppose I'll just do without them until the inevitable backlash. 🤷‍♀️

Just because you can do a drone shot doesn’t mean you should.

More of Vincent's vicarious victuals. This time he's on about raisins... which are apparently "moist" and "meaty"...

A little heavy perhaps... but it'll sure as hell upstage Sheila and her bloody cheese scones.

Ey-up, Vince is giving it some welly!

Cheers all, happy Friday. Strength, love and courage to all in need x 🍻

Whoops, here comes Vincent's voluptuous love feast... in a pot!

Badly depicted volcano... or mute witness to a horrific, if somewhat logistically unexplainable, crazy golf accident?

Smashing!

“Who really knew what evil lurked in the hearts of men? ME. Who knew what sane men were capable of? STILL ME, I’M AFRAID.”

Jun 12th 2179 - Burke made a decision and it was... wrong. It was a bad call, Ripley. It was a bad call. 📽️📅 Aliens (1986)

A Church of England version of Conclave where they're trying to decide what biscuits to get.

The best dresses for summer wedding guests, according to an insane article in the Guardian. This one is primary school art smock meets Alien 3.

I feel for the historian who will have to write this saga up in a coherent way in future textbooks

I have moved house (again) and now I just want to sit down and do nothing for the foreseeable future. But I still have to do this thing called 'work'. I think I'm getting too old for this shit.

It's too woke to comprehend that the oldest city in the US was founded by Spain, a third of the US once belonged to Spain, and Spanish speaking people here will never go away, ever. It's hilarious that the clown is now promoting Columbus Day and the MAGAt idiots all go "yay!".

I was fortunate to have shared many adventures with Val along the way, including experiencing first hand his dazzling portrayal of Jim Morrison in The Doors, and then generously lending his beauty and talent to my directorial debut Joe the King. Sleep in heavenly peace my friend ♥️

Having a truly stressful time at the mo and it is officially NOT FUN. Not only have I totally run out of spoons, I've gone right through all the other cutlery and now I seem to be onto the novelty ice cream scoop at the back of the drawer.

Er, folks, looks like we're gonna need A LOT more historians...
