Cover versions that turn fast songs into slow ones.

I really liked that film I Swear, even though its title reminds me of that really bad ballad from the 90s.

First, let's put aside the fact that he can't go 5 minutes without making a holy show of himself and shouldn't be platformed. Also, Father Ted was not satirical! It barely mentioned any of the church's worst sins! The church is probably nostalgic for light, almost affectionate content like FT!

London friends, there's a screening of Thelma & Louise in October with an introduction by Ridley Scott. You can enter a draw for free tickets below. (I'm not affiliated with this, but it's such a nice event that I thought I'd spread the word) linktr.ee/londonaction...

The other night, our kid set a new record for calling for us after we'd put her to bed. We managed to watch a full *18 seconds* of TV before we were summoned upstairs. (See picture)

Meta AI on Facebook just now. 🤔

This would confuse the hell out of future historians.

We watched Topkapi over the weekend. The lead actress had an accent so thick that my young daughter couldn't understand it, and started crying in frustration. But we all agreed that Peter Ustinov was funny and adorable. It looked beautiful. And the climactic heist was exquisite. Recommended.

NGL, I keep forgetting that anyone uses Twitter, let alone people of influence.

Thanks Darach! All welcome to pop in for a fun relaxed launch of #ChaosTheory at @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social on Sunday at 2pm.

The Kilfenora Céilí Band. All my dad listened to was trad. He thought jazz was too modern, and I'm not joking.

I liked this podcast episode presented by @zackpolanski.bsky.social. It makes a good case for winning people over without compromising on your principles. open.spotify.com/episode/5RrF...

everyone has already got the explicit discourse on this covered so i will simply add its insanely funny to say this as the developer of games where you kill like. ten thousand guys

Seymour Skinner: Oh no, I said 'steamed hams'! That's what I call hamburgers. Joe Rogan: No way! That's interesting. Seymour Skinner: Yes! It's a regional dialect. Joe Rogan: Interesting stuff. Where do they call it that? Seymour Skinner: Uh... upstate New York? Joe Rogan: I'm learning so much.

Wild that he was preparing for two years and nobody thought to come up with a game plan for "What if some people still remember 2007?"

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

My buddy Paul took this picture of me last week. I look like I've just launched a tech startup that will be mired in lawsuits and scandals in about a year. In two years, my rehabilitation interview will have a pull quote that's something like: "I still believe zongler is a viable product."

occasional reminder that my late friend peter got 3 seasons in before we discovered he thought it was called "don't call the midwife". i said why would a show with lots of pregnant women in it be called don't call the midwife, he said well people don't like to make a fuss ahahahaahaaaa

Liam Neeson is very inspiring, making action movies into his 70s. When I'm his age, I plan to spend a lot of time watching Liam Neeson films.

Portishead have come together to do this brand new version of Roads in aid of Together For Palestine, they uploaded it to their Youtube just yesterday with the stunning black and white video of them performing it live ❤️ You can donate here: togetherforpalestine.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2Am...

I'm trying to think of an example during Ireland's dark high tide of censorship of an international author refusing to visit for fear of arrest. I'm not saying that there weren't any, I just want to put this in context.

Ooh, Marching Powder is streaming on Amazon. If you missed it in cinemas, I highly recommend missing it again.

I'm reading Ronnie Spector's biography, and the prose (like her singing) is both playful and poignant. She has a nice way with words.

Obviously it's mortifying that it doesn't work, but even if it *did* work, how is it better than a cookbook, cookery show or finding a recipe online? And that's before we get to the fact that he had already sourced the ingredients before he talked to the AI.

Gloriously incorrect photo to go with a ballet review.

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.

I like to imagine Melania's enormous lampshade hats serve a similar purpose to Homer's jury glasses.

This is a fair point.

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.
