Evening viewing recommendation? Watch Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper make sparks BALL OF FIRE (1941) — Howard Hawks's snappy screwball take on the Snow White tale.

In Diamonds Are Forever the new James Bond (Sean Connery) who was also the old James Bond started the film seeking to avenge the death of the wife the last new James Bond (George Lazenby) had married and who had been killed. Later another James Bond (Roger Moore) killed her murderer. We were fine.

Starmer should sue X.

There has been a mistake in the universe. I said I wanted a break, not "I want something to break." *looks pointedly at universe*

Tate Britain's Lee Miller exhibition is fascinating - Surrealism, erotica, fashion, World War 2, the camps, the aftermath, and threading it all together, Miller herself, BLAZINGLY, heroically talented, courageous, inspiring. Don't miss it. www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tat... #LeeMiller #photography

Fantastic new @tcmtv.bsky.social video of @eddiemuller.bsky.social and @danadelany.bsky.social considering the career of Barbara Stanwyck through her costumes, including several designed by Edith Head. Thanks to the archivists preserving this wardrobe artistry! www.youtube.com/watch?v=luKN...

Managing two libraries, I already see how few men borrow/read books for themselves. This kind of crap won't help.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Hornsey Town Hall, designed by Reginald Uren, was officially opened OTD in 1935.

With a long and consistently stellar catalogue with DBT, it’s amazing Hood has anything left for a solo record, let alone one as good as this. Beautifully realised, deeply personal and very different from the main gig. Magic. #nowplaying “Exploding Trees & Airplane Screams” - Patterson Hood

I'm going to have a lot of fun covering PLURIBUS for The A.V. Club. My review of the first two episodes, in which I talk about the traditions the show fits into (and defies), Vince Gilligan's visual style, Rhea Seehorn's ability to hold multiple notes at once and more! www.avclub.com/pluribus-pre...

@graemethomson.bsky.social Over on a music board I spend far too much time on. (Thought it might be nice to let you see, most writers never get to hear enough feedback from readers.) "I loved his book on Simple Minds, and I'm really enjoying this one. It's superb."

#nowplaying #amplaying The Bathers 'Sirenesque' (2023) @lnfg.bsky.social This swept me off my feet when first heard it, felt like leaves being rushed along a street by the wind - midfifties and a new album still did that to me. Ravishingly, walk-into beautiful.

Inventory readers! @backlisted.bsky.social listeners! If you’re in London tomorrow, @claypipemusic.bsky.social has a stall at Jonny Trunk’s Groovy Record Fayre at the Mildmay Club, Newington Green, N16. Lawrence will be there too, selling a box of records. Lots more indie labels and dealers too.

This is officially one of the strangest pictures in American history, and I do not doubt that it will be considered iconic a hundred years from now. 100% serious here.
