Pretty in Pink is 40. L-R Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy, Jon Cryer & James Spader

I wouldn’t ever go back to Twitter for the same reason that I wouldn’t have met up with my friends in a Nazi bierkeller in 1920 or in the home of a paedophile. But I’m old-fashioned like that.

Just a reminder that Queen Elizabeth II gave at least at £10M to Andrew to go towards paying the settlement with Virginia Giuffre rather than sending him packing. She was no saint.

Incredibly sad and depressing

A recent poll by Opinium, commissioned by European Movement UK, found that 75% of Britons favour joining the Single Market to lower taxes. Rejoining would be a practical step towards economic renewal and a more confident role in the world - we must act soon to prevent any more damage to the country.

I'm sad the "Auteur Theory" has a bad reputation among Millenials and Gen Z At its core, all it meant was that the creator's personality adds something tangible to a work Truffaut wanted to explain why uneven, poorly-made films were so compelling. It's especially relevant now that AI is a thing

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

It’s so funny that this guy’s entire thing is “Oh are you triggered by what I have to say about marginalized people” but he loses it when someone more well-liked than he will ever be talks about an actual injustice

"What did I trip on? Did someone put something down here so I would trip?!" RIP Catherine O'Hara. A one of one.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

David Lynch died a year ago. I miss his artistry but I really miss him making me laugh.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Oh my goodness! I absolutely loved Hamnet. But, wooooh, the stuff around Hamnet's death was hard. I came close to having to leave the cinema - Agnes's raw grief at her son's death was very close to home. But what a wonderful film. And how clever that child/young adult Hamnet were played by brothers.

Ethan Hawke reminiscing about the much missed River Phoenix. This is lovely because so many of us have met someone who has shown us how much more there can be to explore in our chosen profession & enriched our lives because of their example. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

'I am educated' and 'I will vote Reform' are contradictory statements. One may have a few GCSEs or even a degree but the intention to vote Reform shows a woeful lack of political awareness and absolutely no knowledge or understanding of history.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

to the people who design online forms - some people’s family name only has 2 letters, it’s not an error. please travel more.

This f***ing news cycle, man.

In the post-truth era we live in, the fact a Muslim man risked his own life to protect Jewish lives is an inconvenience to those who seek to spread hate. And so the misinformation strategy begins to erase the name Ahmed al Ahmed from existence. Thus the invention of 'Edward Crabtree'

And it made front page

What I said five years ago for its 15th anniversary stands today for its 20th -- BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is and will remain one of the most important and beautiful films that I will ever experience

🚨BREAKING🚨 MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union. The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again? Writing in shorthand. Thought i would still use it for fun for stuff just for myself until I couldn’t translate what I’d written 😵‍💫

Hmm

Movie you’ve watched more than six times, hard mode (no Star Wars or Trek, no Pixar, no LOTR, no Disney, no Marvel)

This is Magnus. He just beat cancer. His family wrote the big news on their car and bought him balloons to celebrate. Magnus got so much love from strangers the whole way home. His human said, "I hope everyone has a Magnus in their lives, who shows them what determination and strength are." 14/10

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

This is Jelly. She screams for ice cream. Has been at this for about 15 minutes with no luck though. 12/10 justice for Jelly (IG: jellythesamoyed)

I've spoken with a lot of people about this, and all of of them told me they were furious about this tragedy and the apparent corruption that enabled it. They want truth and accountability and justice for the victims, and they're not confident that they'll get any of that, which makes them angrier.

This is Salem. He waited for his mom to leave the car before stealing her breakfast. Loves the thrill of the hunt. 12/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (TT: unhingeddogmom)

It’s Bruce Lee’s birthday. Here’s the time he was asked to show some ‘kung-fu movements’ & an elderly assistant director was nominated to be the practice dummy.

Quite the correction by the Telegraph. The publication in question is @freemovement.bsky.social

‘I LOVE SOCIALISM NOW’

JFC they're auctioning off Ennis & Jack's shirts from the final scene of Brokeback y'all

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

Thanks for your contribution to the discourse, Sidremus

John Major, "Our links to Europe and America may be loser now than once they were and that is a loss" "The loss of trade with Europe alone costs us £100 billion of lost trade every year" "That's a tax yield of £40 billion" "How useful would that have been in recent months to the Chancellor?"

As Labour proposes limiting the protection of the ECHR, we must remember what it was set up to do; protect us all from abuses of power by our govts. Be v wary then of anyone calling to do that. You may not be the target now. But why shouldn’t you be next? bestforbritain.substack.com/p/why-we-and...

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?
