Source: Deadline Don’t avoid “ Sinners” because it’s billed as a vampire movie. It’s far, far, more than that. One of the most beautiful & meaningful films I’ve seen for ages. The plot is the least of its many excellences, the acting, cinematography & sound design are pure magic. Oscars please note.

Juust wanted to start the day out right.....(grin) 🎶"Hi Hoooo.....Hi Hooo.....Hi Ho...Hi Ho....It's off to work we go..... with words, I'm seldom stuck and TACO's still a Schmuck! Hi Ho...Hi Ho"....🎶 thankyouverymuch.. Meanwhile...Death watches TACO, and waits. tick tick tick EPSTEIN!

You know that feeling when you finish making something and you hold it and you immediately think, “Yeah, this is beautiful” and are pleased with the work? That’s what I experienced making this bracelet. The cube beads are just gorgeous. #chainmail #jewelry #handmade

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but we can all take at least some solace in the fact that bookstores exist.

The forget-me-not’s genus name, Myosotis, comes from the Greek for ‘mouse’s ear’, after the soft shape of its tiny leaves. Meep.

Following victories by progressive parties in Moldova (September) and the Netherlands (October), progressive candidates won yesterday's elections in the US. Let's seize this momentum to fight far-right parties with renewed energy, because it's not billionaires, but the people who should govern.

Luckily the oligarch's fear mongering about his reason for supporting Palestinians did not work for enough people. #DemocraticSocialism makes sure that everyone has a shot unlike #Capitalism which puts profit over people. Wealth still exists in #SocialDemocracies just not as much inequality! #Resist

Nigeria has huge oil reserves, but not as vast as Venezuela. Odd that the maniac is threatening both countries.

Nigeria is not about Christians, he wants the oil and minerals and doesn’t understand diplomacy. The Taker in Chief 🤬

So the Hypocrite Dictator threatens military action against Nigeria for allowing the killing of Christians but has no problem with cutting off food to American Christians and other people. America first? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What you should have done was stop him corrupting the voting while you had the power!!!

I hope the PM is listening today and recommends the driver & LNER staff member for gongs. These are the British values l would like to see rewarded.

That’s fair. If they point at the wrong country, random person off the street has to kick them as hard as they can between the legs.

"Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" by Ian Dury. Always makes me smile. especially the lines:- "In the wilds of Borneo And the vineyards of Bordeaux Eskimo, Arapaho Move their body to and fro" Genius. #IanDury

A wonderful #wildflowerhour tonight, huge thanks to everyone that took part & especially lovely to see all those gorgeous winter tens!! A lovely focus for a winter walk, why not see how many wild blooms you can spot for next Sunday! See you then ☺️

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Just a few of the very many classic Ladybird books written or illustrated by women #InternationalWomensDay

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Great thread. Mr Cox Snr has a good sense of humour and is a talented painter.

'Our public libraries are free in three critical senses. Firstly, they cost nothing to join and to use. Secondly, they are open to all in our communities. We must also add a third concept of freedom: the freedom to read – to engage, without restraint, a diversity of knowledge and opinion'.

@libraryplayer.bsky.social Good to see that the Cookie Monster is still managing to evade arrest 😉

One good trick for remembering the names of new people in your life is to not bother with meeting new people.

A very informative article on how the monarchy manages money & how state assets are utilised to make private profits. It is high time this was stopped dead & the Duchies are 'voluntarily' handed over to the Crown Estate. That entity to be renamed as the 'UK Wealth Fund'. Britain deserves better.

East Bristol dog folks. St George Park 2pm. Some of the dog owners we're friends with are raising money for Bristol Animal Rescue Centre selling cakes and home made dog treats. Our house has stunk of cakes and peanut butter dog biscuits all week. Donation link in next post.
