You can almost hear David Attenborough voice reading this.

"To say 'Zelenskyy is no friend of the working class' is an insulting, facile distraction from the fact that Sultana refuses to support the Ukrainian people’s fight for existence." Proper cold fury and moral clarity from @paulmason.bsky.social on Sultana. open.substack.com/pub/htsf/p/c...

If you needed someone to destroy the White House, really you should have called in experts

Listening to the "Diamonds & Love" tracks and grinning from ear to ear. WTactualF are the #PrinceEstate doing leaving all this in the Vault? And just repackaging stuff that's already out there? Why are Londell L McMillain and Charles Spicer so positively value-destructive? #Prince4Ever

OMG what have they done to #SlowHorses?

"But soft! What light through yonder window... BRAKES!"

I saw this in Edinburgh (with @doublemacc.bsky.social) during the festival. I have never seen or experienced anything like it. Less a comedy show, and some sort of cathartic communal experience (with nakedness). Not for the faint-hearted or squeamish. artstheatrewestend.co.uk/events/gscp

For those of Dunedinian persuasion.

Many things are terrible right now, but a P. G. Wodehouse hardback in its original dustwrapper is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

Because I am somewhat clueless, I did not realise just how different the "We are the World" studio version of "4 the Tears in Your Eyes" was from the video version. Compare / Contrast / Enjoy open.spotify.com/track/0GGf8g...

It has been way too long since there was new music from Lianna La Havas, but now it's here, it's lovely. I *cannot wait* for new live shows - she is so good! open.spotify.com/album/5PnRds...

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

Very happy to have the Paisley Park Remix on streaming for the first time. But strange that the #Prince Estate gave it album artwork rather than the single cover it was released in. You can't have everything I suppose - still, it's a great track. #Prince4Ever open.spotify.com/album/0TbaYu...

A quick reflection on #SignOTheTimes at the #BFI #IMAX last night. It's a damn big screen - though the source isn't always great - but generally it looked damn good. But holy moses the sound mix is amazing - the kick of the bass and the synths at the bottom end really makes it feel like a concert.

Haven't seen the IMAX version myself yet - so can't comment on the specifics of the transfer - but re: everything else, this is exactly right. #SignOTheTimes is Peak #Prince4Ever and you should go see it variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Going to see #SignOTheTimes at the #BFI #IMAX this coming Sunday and this is the perfect preparation - the title track from the album / movie as it was performed live in Rotterdam. A thing of beauty and a joy forever. Go see the movie - it's Peak #Prince4Ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2fs...

“For reasons I don’t fully understand, educated elites are more socially progressive than non-elites.” So much going on in this sentence - the question and the clue, but twice over, like some glaring blind spot so big it’s impossible for the reader not to see. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/o...

(Attenborough voice) “The North American goon is a fascinating creature. Here we see a pack defiling a watering hole, marking the territory with their sign — a dick.”

EDITOR'S NOTE: We have updated our story on Anne Frank to say that she actually died of typhus, and not from the Nazis putting her in a concentration camp. We regret the error and will find the filthy rat who dared to suggest the Nazis had anything to do with her death.

Just watched Lawrence of Arabia in 70mm in the second row at the @princecharlescinema.com - Sweet Holy Jesus that is a movie! #FilmSky

I mean, the evidence is what the evidence is.
