I know people are justifiably nervous about going out on the streets of London today, but I am in Edinburgh and this place is a cauldron of seething indignity over the omission of Stevenson on THAT list. Such is the strength of feeling, it has the potential to boil over into regrettably stern words.

Where is Barbara Kingsolver, Donna Tartt, Don deLillo, Iris Murdoch, Haruki Murakami, Robert Louis Stephenson? COME ON

Film people - I'd like to read some feminist interpretations/analyses of Chinatown - any tips? Thank you.

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

An onion will do well for such a shift

Who cares? They're robots. Aren't distance races about human endurance?

Sometimes being a one woman creative business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Today has been one of those days where I haven’t sold anything in my online shop. Have a look at my shop and please repost to spread the word. Thanks. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Hard night to be (the mother of) a Liverpool fan

Absolutely buzzing for my dear friend Jack who won the Olivier award last night for Best Actor. I've seen him perform this role three times - it's an incredible show & he is mind boggling-ly good. Jack was in my first feature film, The Levelling, and remains one of the most talented people I've met.

The fact that there’s not a total boycott of the World Cup already in place is a mystery to me

Still raging about the fact the self-employed have to submit records four times a year now to HMRC but very grateful to @directors-uk.bsky.social for their comprehensive webinar about MTD.

How many children could possibly affect? Just wanton meanness to appease a group of adults roleplaying that they're being oppressed by a small minority of people

I regret to tell you I now know what a terrified toad sounds like.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

#Mums26 Once again, I implore you to send me your mother's name and include the hashtag #Mums26. Please please please, otherwise it's difficult to track. #Mums26

Bookseller Scrambles To Hide All The Classics After Seeing Emerald Fennell Approaching Door

Requiescat, Frederick Wiseman. My man had Foucault-levels of things to say about the role of institutions in our lives, but was also a hugely talented filmmaker on top of it. If you have not seen Titicut Follies (1967), prioritise it: right out the gate, our guy was NOT here to fuck around

RIP Frederick Wiseman <3 <3

A few years ago I got to direct an amazing cast led by Glenda Jackson in a radio adaptation of Alexander Mackendrick’s screenplay of this historic assassination. You can listen to it now on Audible. www.audible.co.uk/pd/Unmade-Mo...

Just learnt about Richard Wawro on #AntiquesRoadshow and will immediately be finding out more about him. Just incredible work. Could a Scottish gallery please organise a retrospective? Thank you!

"For years, a cottage industry of political observers has contorted itself to obscure and occlude the obvious. That regardless of what others see in him, Trump’s entire political career...cannot be understood outside the context of his bitter, deep-seated racism." (gift link)

Please will someone write a story about the impact of the Beatles movies on the rest of the independent British film sector? Hottest British actors tied up for months and months and months. Everyone having to schedule around them.

A bit late posting this because every time I look at it I pass out or go temporarily blind. I think we can all agree the whole phenomenon has now peaked and nobody ever needs to walk a red carpet again.

On the hunt for a bit of joy this week when the wonderful news that I have been shortlisted for the #CaledoniaNovelAward for my first attempt at writing a book! Over the moon doesn't even begin... thecaledonianovelaward.com/2026-award/

We've lost the great Allan Massie. An absolute giant of Scottish literature and journalism, and an inspirational, kind and generous man, too. I think his son @alexmassie.bsky.social is only sporadically on Bluesky, but he has written a beautiful obituary. alexmassie.substack.com/p/allan-mass...

1. In 2009 I wrote this. I argued that Peter Mandelson's department “functions as a fifth column within government, working for corporations to undermine democracy and the public interest.” This thread explains what I saw, and reaches a startling conclusion.🧵 www.monbiot.com/2009/05/04/m...

Tmw is my last day at Filmmaker, and it’s also the last day for our estimable director of editorial operations Vadim Rizov, who has been a valued partner for 11 of my 33 years. Here, he curates some of his best work that we’ve had the privilege of publishing. filmmakermagazine.com/132962-vadim...

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

Seems right

I love this film. Jealous of New Yorkers who get to see this.

I rewatched when Harry met Sally last night. I saw it so many times when it first came out as a young teen and wondered if, when I started having sex, someone would make me meow. Thank you for the high bar, Mr Reiner.
