100% agreed. Absolutely engrossing and unlike anything else I've seen and I've seen a lot of films. #Filmsky 🍿🎥

Starting to think I need high end noise cancelling headphones for my commute home just to mask the cacophony of people making speaker phone calls,etc, at max volume. Mad how this is just the norm now. #Getsomeearphones

Peak Britain that seemingly everything just becomes culture war bullshit now.

Some poor woman's Primark bag just disintegrated in the rain. Everything in it dropping on to the wet street. She looked mortified. Some good samaritan just rushed over to help.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Another excellent video highlighting the absurdity of Nimbyism. Top notch editing and writing.

Watched How To Make A Killing. Glenn Powell might be the lead but Margaret Qualley pretty much steals the film as a smouldering femme fatale. #Filmsky 🍿🎥🎬

Not me watching a Dua Lipa Radical Optimism tour show. I didn't even know who Dua Lipa was until Glastonbury 2024 and her headline set was playing on the TV.

thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history

I wonder why some people might think politicians are liars?

My humble submission to the new Bank of England with concepts for the new bank notes to please both sides.

Dear everyone, As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included. A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.

Leeds City Council introducing a trial of for hire e-scooters seems like a can of worms. E-scooters will be geofenced and have limited speed but I still see this being carnage.

I've just seen Geoffrey Cox MP's speech in defense of jury trials and it really is quite the powerful piece of oration.

It's pretty disgusting that women are forced to publicly disclose being sexually assaulted or raped in order to be taken seriously by their peers.

It's especially delightful that he couldn't be in court to receive news of yet another legal defeat because he was in custody in connection with an assault for which he has just been charged.

Labour in a nutshell

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

Nacho Vigalondo's Los Cronocrimenes is a meticulously crafted genre defying low budget gem. #Filmsky 🍿🎥🕦✂️

This is an outstandingly powerful piece on the intersection of politics, life, death, art, film, music and culture in general. 'Art is resistance'.👊

Does seem a bit like life here just consists of various companies seeing how much they can blatantly take the piss. Treating people like mugs because they've realised they can do it with impunity basically.

My current jam is DeathbyRomy.

This is the sort of thing a cashless society robs us of, the opportunity to try to get away with paying the bus fare in Carthaginian currency www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful. Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.

This from the BBC implies the major fire in Glasgow Central station started due to an overloaded adapter/charging station in a vape shop and then things got distinctly worse. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

really hope they identify this guy, it's so weird and sad. he was in the water for *weeks* before he was retrieved so the timescale is completely up in the air, so it's all really complicated www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just seen another Leeds institution is closing down. World of Dance is closing after 46 years.

Imagine being so all consumed by hate you're getting mad at a food truck being open later and review bombing them. Spudbros having to explain, at length, why they're open til later due to Ramadan.

Hannah Spencer being harrassed by fascist YouTube streamers in Manchester, every week they are at it

Played Oceans today. There's an admirable amount of chaos once you're at 5 players. Bonus shot of my friend's dog. #boardgamesky

There's a cold rage throughout Kwajo Tweneboa's 'Our Country In Crisis'. Highly recommended reading even if it will undoubtedly appal and enrage at just how bad things are when it comes to housing. #Booksky 📚

Honestly fair fucks to Vittorio Angelone for calling out Penny Mordaunt on Last Leg

Well deserved. Highly recommend checking out Hyde Park Picture House if you get a chance. #Filmsky 🍿🎥 hpph.co.uk

This morning's jam is 'Money Mullet' by The Pill. youtu.be/XnFcRHv0L0E?...

Just watched Abigail again, which is excellent by the way, then realised that Abigail, Ready Or Not, Scream V and Scream VI are all from director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. They're all co-written by Guy Busick and 3 of them feature Melissa Barrera. #Filmsky 🍿🎬🎥

NEW BLOGPOST: Keir Starmer and David Lammy are taking an extraordinarily dangerous gamble with our individual liberty For any MP unsure of how to vote on the government’s proposals to restrict trial by jury.

Got this a while back and I still think it looks pretty snazzy. I was convinced there were pieces missing until I finished it because it took me so long.

One of the things about Brewdog that really made me laugh was the origin story of being plucky salt of the earth lads, then it turned out one was the son of an influential millionaire. Feel bad for the workers who have lost their jobs and investors who fell for the grift.

Someone was clearly having a good time on the bus.

Ummm... Excuse me, can I help you find something?

This has big opening credits music for Michele Soavi's The Church vibes. #Filmsky

Yesterday evening, for the second time in a year, the Met Police raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrested a number of young nonviolent activists. STATEMENT: www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

The chatter about a potential return to Firefly really just seems like nostalgia bait. That's before you even get to the problem of having a now notorious creep and a notorious bigot associated with it. 🤔

I knew I had seen a similar thing somewhere before Labour is a far right party

This is amazing. Genuinely thought it was from The Onion when I first glanced at the title.

Sentona Games stole $24,000 worth of labor from this writer and now refuses to pay her what she's owed. Ilja Immler and Andrea Glavačević Jakubi are listed as the co-founders of Sentona Games. Do not do work for Sentona Games. Do not do work with Ilja Immler or Andrea Jakubi.

Actually off to a social thing with people. I am bracing for impact.
