#NowWatching Candyman (2021) Just thinking about how Nia Dacosta was poised to become the new industry darling. Then she made The Marvels and everyone suddenly fucking hated her. Funny how Hollywood only gives a shit about “empowering black women” when they’re consistently profitable, eh?

I, unapologetically and without qualification, LOVE this film.

#NowWatching The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (and taking notes because this will be a big part of the Spidey video).

My city is playing host to the Conservative Party conference AND Lady Gaga right now and I just don’t know how to feel about that.

Also see e.g. the war on terror, George Osborne and austerity, the protests against austerity and the anti-austerity movement, Boris fucking Johnson and now Sir Keir Starmer. The hits just keep on coming and the lads just keep on yapping and yammering, but none of them can explain.

After 20+ years as a professional copywriter, I am FINALLY learning to touch type. I am superhumanly crap at it.

Drop something SKELETAL 🦴 🖤 ☠️

Tfw your being called unbritish because you're opposing a genocide.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian. Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference. Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say? Let's keep growing: join.greenparty.org.uk

They're destroying the right to protest - to shut down opposition to Israel's genocide. Discussing that on @lbc.co.uk with @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social at 1pm.

Making my way through season 2 of Sense8 and I don’t think I’ve EVER fallen this hard for a cast of original characters.

The “most moral army in the world”, everyone.

The real #TwoTier

“You want a fight, you’ve found it. I’ve got the place surrounded. You’ll be sleeping with the fishes before you know you’re drowning”. I’m no Swiftie but a good lyric is a good fucking lyric.

Fuck antisemitism. Fuck Islamophobia. Fuck them both into the festering dustbin of history where they belong to serve only as a cautionary reminder of how vile humans can be to one another. The same goes for any form of racial or sectarian prejudice. And fuck the hypocrites who profit from hate.

“Kash, are we the baddies?”

American libs will tweet "Release The Epstein files" every day not fully understanding that fascism isn't just coming. It's already bedded in. The world already knows that Trump is a sex pest. It's not impeded his political career at all. He's exposed your democracy for the sham it is.

"And when Keir Starmer - in one of the most deeply cynical and morbid acts I’ve seen in my lifetime - decides to recognise a palestinian state at the same moment that his government is an active participant in the murdering of the Palestinians, then we must never be silent." - Zack Polanski

I must admit I have some affection for this one. Really made me believe that a Telegraph journalist could have a spectrum of emotions outside of virulent racism and sneering disdain for anyone who wasn’t privately educated.

Hearing @zoegrunewald.bsky.social tell @podsavetheuk.crooked.com that Labour Party conference ends with people jumping around to Things Can Only Get Better is tragically unsurprising. This is a party whose strategy largely seems to involve screwing their eyes shut and hoping for it to be 1997.

Legend!

I'll be honest. It was a lot of fun watching @owenjones.bsky.social wreak havoc at Labour Party Conference. No wonder they were terrified to let him in. Watching Luke "The Nuke" squirm under scrutiny and play dumb until he backed himself into a corner was so much fun.

I fully admit that around 2005-2007 I was one of those “I’m going to Starbucks to read a book” people. Although why anyone would want to step foot in a Starbucks in 2025 is a complete and total fucking mystery to me. But people do. Clearly. In droves.

How fucked is Kier Starmer? Cassetteboy-level fucked. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8uO...

Rorschach’s journal…

Capitalism is so fun cause we invent renewable energy and then for some reason (capitalism again) electricity is getting more expensive AND we aren’t really turning off that much fossil fuel combustion. Fantastic stuff

I’m sure the Americans on food stamps despite working 15 hours a day at Amazon warehouses are delighted that Trump is gilding his palace like fucking Mobutu.

Kier Starmer is the tool of a son maker.

John Constantine vs Evil.

US Franchised pizza outlets are just the biggest scam. They get you to hand over £30 of your hard earned money for what is essentially £1.50s worth of cheese on toast.

Drop something COLOURFUL

I’ve been starting to think maybe I just don’t like comics anymore, but then I started reading some early issues of Hellblazer and they absolutely fucked my brains out.

Somehow Tony Blair has returned.

A horror movie that starts with the first letter of your name. #HorrorSky

“The only way to keep fascists out of office is to maintain the material conditions that historically give rise to fascism” is not a very sensible take from The Sensibles.

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

And yet I still see people saying that the problem is too much government and not enough freedom from red tape for business.

Andy Burnham makes a lot of the right noises but I’d invite progressives to look at the housing situation in Manchester. Build-to let-filing cabinets sprung up over the last 5 years packed with aspirational twenty somethings paying £1,300 a month to live in what is basically a Swedish prison cell.

Immersing myself in the director's commentary, bonus features and cast interviews, it's honestly amazing that Spider-Man 3 came out as well as it did given all the studio fuckery. While it's certainly the weak link in the Raimi trilogy, I do have a lot of affection for it.

Subtly downgrade a band. Irritation at the Mechanism.

Post someone who looks good in white 🤍

"the autism problem" "the migration problem" "the trans problem" Never the fucking "rich white guy problem"

Just the President of the US telling the United Nations that the UK wants to go to Sharia law. How in the fuck did anyone look at this brainless sack of shit and say “Yep, that’s the guy to run the most powerful nation on earth”?

“Trump ruined red caps for everyone!” I’d like to remind you of a certain someone called Fred Durst.

The fuck is Tylenol?

The pumps don’t work ‘cause the vandals broke the handles.
