I’ve been following the Stanley Cup on DAZN, and every time it cuts to an advert I think “that looks good!” or “that looks nice - I must go/get” forgetting that I don’t live in Canada.

This weather is as temperamental as me.

In Interview with the Vampire S2 Ep4, Louis mentions Elsa Triolet, Fred Stein, and Gordon Parks in the space of five minutes, and that's why it's one of the best series/adaptations on TV.

Happy 35th birthday to my close personal friend Shane Hollander! 🎉🩵 (www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkcgMajL/)

I am reminded of Elmer the elephant by the Birmingham political map of 2026 though the quite positive patchwork of harmony message of that storybook may be challenging to emulate in city local politics

Look at these results bab! Who'd have thought we'd be the 2nd largest group on Brum council! This is what an inspirational leader like @zackpolanski.bsky.social does. This is what inspirational POLICIES does. This is what dedicated activists can do. This is winning the argument against despair.

One of my sister’s goats just delivered her first of two babies! This guy is Han Solo and he’s the cutest thing I have ever seen. Lookit those ears!

May we all write more beautiful, niche, cross-disciplinary things like this about our respective obsessions (Art history and Heated Rivalry are two of mine, so I am the exact target audience for this one)

[Davina McCall voice] Do you want another [two]? @brumgreens.bsky.social also just gained Brandwood & Kings Heath.

Hello, I’ve lost my mind a bit: open.substack.com/pub/sabinast...

I see Matthew Rhys is playing another Perry Mason type character in Widow’s Bay. Just bring back Perry Mason, you cowards!

Happy MET Gala catch-up/crash-out morning after, and Madonna as Leonora Carrington’s “The Temptation of Saint Anthony Fragment II” (1945)! www.vogue.co.uk/article/mado...

😩

My boys 🫶🏻

That smile could wake me from the crypt, but whyyyy flatten the curls!!????

Imagine paying all that money for the Crucible tickets and getting chucked out because you couldn’t turn off your fucking phone.

It’s as if I anticipated Hudcon at the MET Gala. And I’m not there.

We have an *extremely* important announcement to make. From Wednesday, we will be launching our puffin live cam, coming to you from the Farne Islands. So you can watch puffins all day long. In celebration, please enjoy this clip of puffins being really busy for 39 seconds straight.

In other sports news, TB v MTL - maddest game of this playoffs so far #NHL

Me watching the snooker.

Might be the greatest snooker match I’ve ever seen, though

Dennis Taylor: “This match really has had everything.” <madman in the crowd starts yelling about the Epstein Files> ok, *now* it has

SNOOKER!

I love when Instagram reminds me of shit. On this day numerous years ago I was in Los Angeles for TCM Fest, and on this last year I was in Coventry.

On Mark Jenkin's ROSE OF NEVADA, now showing: shorturl.at/RWPTM

lol this headline.

My two faves - “Heated Rivalry” and “The Pitt” - are Peabody Award winners! www.indiewire.com/awards/resul...

The award profile for Heated Rivalry is up! “For showing how we can overcome our worst fears and ‘go to the cottage,’ Heated Rivalry has earned a Peabody.” 🔗: peabodyawards.com/award-profil...

I am here to watch and support everything the #HeatedRivalry boys do: deadline.com/2026/04/conn...

Well done, Coventry #PUSB

15 minutes of RDJ out of character telling the audience to go watch The Pitt.

Blue 2, by Joan Miró, 1961

This is what happens when you spend a lot of time with a cricket fan.

“At Birmingham University, he studied zoology but refused to do animal experiments. He discovered a new approach - called "ethology" - which prized objective study of their behaviour instead.” Zoologist and author Desmond Morris dies aged 98 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have to leave for a christening in less than an hour, so I’m catching up with #NHL playoffs and wondering if it’s blasphemous to continue watching in the church.

It’s already in the bag, but good luck to Josh Eccles’ Coventry City #CCFC #PUSB

I can’t with this man. Lethal.

Abbot’s talk with Robby in the S2 finale confirming why he’s the hottest doc in that hospital.

Christ, please, I need a day off! 🥵

Wake up, babe, Connor Storrie’s short film is up on YouTube: youtu.be/QMwbax8FbVI?...

During the past ten days, I have cried over Artemis II and the moon and I have cried while watching both seasons of this documentary series (S2 is especially emotional). I’m sure even non-hockey folks will be invested: watch.amazon.co.uk/detail?gti=a...

“It’s worth pointing out that Birmingham City have not finished higher than where they presently are for ten years” - I doubt that’s going to change any time soon, bud #BCFC

The commentator for this TBL v BOS game just mentioned Montreal 😏 #NHL
