In 1982, ITN exclusively broke the news of the discovery of Barnsley.

Posters for the new 2026 production of Takarazuka’s all-female RRR now expanded into a 2-act show looks SO GOOD, omg Neeeeeed to see this

This painting is titled "Sun on a House, Dieppe" and was created in 1937 by British artist James Proudfoot (1908–1971).

Wes Streeting becoming Prime Minister will ensure the death of the Labour Party as a force in British politics, even more so than Starmer already has.

ITV News just vox-popped an older northern woman who said that she had switched from Labour to Reform because she was angry that illegal migrants were “getting hotels when British people can’t get hotels”. At some point Labour surely just has to say these people are completely politically illiterate

the tiniest astronaut I’ve ever painted

Rachel Campbell (New Zealand/American b.1964), For the Morning People I, 2021-22, Oil on panel

The painting is titled 'Cardón, State of Oaxaca' (1887) and was created by the renowned Mexican landscape artist José María Velasco. It is a vertical oil on canvas that holds a significant place in Mexican art history.

Claude Monet (1840-1926) Fields in Spring, 1887. Oil on canvas.

Wild that Altman is being sued by his sister for repeated sexual abuse and that doesn’t come up in basically every conversation about him. I get that it’s alleged but if that shit was happening to someone else I feel like that would come up, particularly if that person had a history of lying a lot.

I had some people round for dinner last night, and I tried to impress them with a sauce created from vodka, gravy and nitrous oxide. But all I've done is make myself an absolut laughing stock.

My painting DUNE SHACK

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

Kitten in the Sun, Thure Wallner (1888-1965).

whenever people announce they're taking a break from bluesky, it's usually because they're astronauts experiencing a mandatory communications blackout as they re-enter earth's atmosphere. that's why they always come back in six minutes

Imagine being in space 30 min ago and now you’re about an hour from In n Out

Cat in the Summer Meadow, Bruno Liljefors (1860-1939).

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

Calling it: this article about the Plex corporate retreat going very badly is the best thing you’ll read this week www.wsj.com/lifestyle/wo...

Some very say news just in, but Shozin Fukui, director of Pinocchio 964 and Rubbers Lover, passed away on 2 April. As some might know, in the midst of a resurgence of interest in his work that culminated with a 2025 retrospective at K's Cinema in Shinjuku, he was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.

worried about universal credit as they flagged my tenancy agreement having a different name to my legal name and not having ID that matches the name, although I mentioned working on the deed pool and being transgender

`A crumbling edifice, in a mist-strewn valley, under bright, contrasting skies` #synthart

okay finally there is good news (please don't let this be an early April Fools joke)

Opening paragraph that hits like crack

Another waterfall. Similar idea with the title. . This one’s 8”x8” oil. I used one brush and one tiny painting knife for the entire piece. . Available on my website.

My painting PURPLE CONEFLOWERS

This vibrant marine painting is by contemporary French artist Eric Le Pape. His signature, a distinct, stylized mark, is visible in the bottom-right corner of the piece.

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

It's a propaganda strategy based on big tobacco. The goal isn't to be right, it's to muddy the waters and sow doubt/confusion. The bad guys don't need truth (especially since it's against them), they just need to convince enough people to give up or err on the side of caution bc it's "being debated"

A thought of "separating the art from the artist": It's a way to approach the work as an audience member, taking it entirely on its own terms. Just the art, regardless of what the artist might be like. It's not about money. If you buy it and the artist gets paid, you haven't separated shit.

if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't

werner herzog and arnold schwarzenegger are both variants on the austro-bavarian accent in English, proving that it is the best accent family for either dramatic or comedic delivery depending on which variant of it you have and how you modulate your delivery

A birthday toast to Steve McQueen, who would have been 96 today. We lost the King of Cool to cancer in 1980.

On this BREAKFAST CLUB detention day anniversary, I want you to know I am still mad about this makeover after decades :) John Hughes, what did you have against cool goth girls?!

If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and you’d have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

Kinda amazing they straight up frame the tarantula intro, unfortunately still with that MCU fear of having silly costumes

When I end up seeing Spider-man Brand New Day it’s going to be so hard not to burst out laughing at the point when they were moving the sets in Glasgow and someone’s nan was raging that the fake New York bus wouldn’t let her on to go to big Tesco.

there it is… Glasgow, New York
