Who said “When you meet the man who knows everything, it’s amazing how often he says “I think you already know the answer to that”” It sounds like a Palahniuk quote but it might just be one of those false memory things

Now watching..

I finished Ghost of Yotei. When it’s good, it’s breathtaking; whatever few negatives exist are FAR outweighed by the beauty and the emotional impact of it

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

I’m sure this reads better in the original Russian.

There’s an incredible weirdcore/analog horror account called EVILLICA on instagram. It’s so well crafted I’m obsessed with it

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

Just finished WAYWARD; the unease and tension it creates - particularly as a TV show exploring themes of identity and destiny - lies in its refusal to provide easy answers or explanations. It provokes disappointment in pursuit of something meaningful. I appreciate that a lot more, these days

With $500,000, Luchasaurus could finally realise his dream of buying an uncharted island and starting a dinosaur theme park where nothing could possibly go wrong #AEW #WrestleDream

I swear, Kota Ibushi just has the worst luck. Injured by a freak fall where 9 times out of 10 you would land on both feet or the apron

I genuinely believe that if the Greens remain consistent with their messaging and politics, a sizeable percentage of people who are disillusioned with Labour or who vote Reform as a protest vote or who simply don't think voting is worth it (etc) would be persuaded to join the Greens.

@niaarbiter.bsky.social 👋

Seeing the clips of @zackpolanski.bsky.social absolutely rinsing Zia Yusuf has fixed my mental health in a way nothing else could

It’s hilarious and telling that Zack Polanski flat out called Zia Yusuf a fascist to his face and the most damning thing he could fire back with was the very daft but also very long-time-ago hypnotherapy stuff. Zia Yusuf it was 12 years ago, you are a fascist today... you’re living it, pal #BBCQT

There is one insufferably smug twat on #BBCQT every single week, and this week it is Emma

Zack Polanski is batting 1.000 tonight #BBCQT

I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again. New from me at @opinion.bloomberg.com (gift link): bit.ly/4h51JjF

AMAZED by the size of this tomcat, so large that my Ring doorbell said it was a person

Ghost of Yõtei has a Kurosawa visual mode, like the first game, but this time it also has Shinichirõ Watanabe and Takashi Miike modes, too. SICK

rise of the machines

time to bring back bullying

me before and after shelling out to see One Battle After Another in IMAX

Let’s all play Ghost of Yõtei for a few hours and hope for the best

Not sure if I woulda gone with the phrase "it fuckin murdered" there, Bill

My TV just made me sit through a 20 second video ad before I could skip and hence use the TV for its intended purpose. It’s a plague

One Battle After Another (2025). Generational cinema about radicals and reactionaries in states of constant crisis. I did not foresee Sean Penn channelling Vince McMahon (who could?) but I did so enjoy it. Gloriously frenetic, pitch-perfect - like being caught in mesmerising audio-visual crossfire

Let’s all play Visions of Mana before the inevitable collapse

I love these lazy Wrestling Observer Newsletter Fridays

Comedian Zach Woods calls out comedians who are performing in Saudi Arabia’s comedy festival

Fucksake, this #discourse AGAIN? Yes this platform is smaller, very observant. But I don't spend all day being force fed Nazi slop or getting harassed by Nazis on a Nazi platform specifically engineered to amplify Nazis. It's not a hard decision, let's all just move on.

Former Jungle Boy Jack Perry needs a new moniker that indicates growth and character evolution. I suggest “Jungle Fella” or even “Dr. Jungle”

I’m enjoying Brodido a lot, but there is surely no way Brody King does not win the Unified or World titles at some point in the next few years #AEWAllOut

MOTY shit from Dorada et al #AEWAllOut

Daniel Day Lewis relaying his breakfast order in Phantom Thread is just such a thrill

"Your Party" already exists. It's called the Green Party, we literally have internal debate, policy suggestions and votes all the time. join.greenparty.org.uk

Your Party aren’t going to make it, are they

Robert Redford wasn’t just a great actor. He used his profile to help others. From environmentalism, Native American rights, LGBTQ advocacy, and independent film, he cared deeply about people, and preserving their culture and world.

Some personal late night introspections involving “Last Night of the Proms”

Cuck government

Over at Bloomberg, I addressed the never-ending question of how to save cultural criticism

*watching innocent people rapidly acquire the cursed knowledge that has driven me to madness* oh no

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

Republican Flip Flop

So now that it’s confirmed that none of the messages on the bullets were pro-trans, maybe we should have a national conversation about how multiple newspapers repeated a lie about us on their front pages hours after doubts had already been cast over it?

Putting on my publicist hat here and seeking film writers who have an emphasis on gay cinema. I have a pretty solid list, but always looking for others! Please hit me up!
