Does this include or exclude Christopher Harborne, the billionaire Thai resident and dual citizen, who spends most of the year in Thailand for tax reasons and is the biggest donor to reform UK?

Huh remember MeToo how it was like oh man I hope consequences for sexual harassment and assault aren’t limited to the professional sphere rather than the legal one and now America is like no let’s crown nonces and make the wife-beaters movie stars

Trump says Netflix will ‘pay the consequences’ if it doesn’t fire Susan Rice

This is like that bit in Titanic when the ship breaks in half

I've not been on socials much these days. But I'm very proud of this little movie - in particular because of the utterly spectacular performances of Ian McKellen and Michael Coel. It was a small film, written and shot on spec. It opens in NY and LA April 10. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8eT...

Can’t believe I have to brush my fucking teeth again

Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

What are the excellent recent podcasts?

Wish I could bestride things all soft and casual and not always like a fucking colossus

hear a podcast with American comedians revering the funniest SNL sketch of all time, look it up and it’ll be some guy grabbing himself and going ‘shoo shoo whoo!’ for seventeen minutes

Congrats to everyone who had Prince Andrew right wing podcast 2027 on their bingo card/polymarket account

www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis... So many true crime docs and dramas should be about these people and not the perpetrators

Oh no he said something I totally agree with now what

RIP Robert Duvall. You would have nailed Stephen Miller.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Chat, is this good www.forbes.com/sites/conorm...

Megyn Kelly insists all music has the notes sung out as letters along with the melody otherwise how can Americans follow it and if the note Z is played it’s pronounced Zee THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Each year it feels like Americans are pressuring the Super Bowl halftime show to basically replace congress

Man behaving like ordinary person with a soul sends Americans falling to their knees with gratitude and shock

I know we think we’re in the worst timeline but it would be so awful if Elon were happy.

My perfect format would be some kind of regular, hard copy, but disposable? and i know it’ll never happen but delivered direct to my house

In fact, there is sometimes a relationship between selfishness and art, or self-loathing and creation - great satirists are sometimes, often even, mocking their worst selves. Moralists are almost always correcting their own pasts.

This is all going to quite quickly get to ‘look men are just evolutionarily attracted to the most fertile, pubescent form, sorry not sorry’ and that’s going to play well with the same people who have been obsessed with human trafficking and paedophilia and I don’t know what to say about that

I feel like I did a lot of philanthropic work for this group in my twenties

would have loved it if the last year had been him running around stressing over programming the perfect season but alas

Paris j’adore

Live your life in a way Chotiner can’t parenthesise

It’s not the most important thing but the world being plotted like bad television is making it pretty confusing for those trying to write good television

CHOTINER: And the pizza place, what’s it called? ME: Dominos. CHOTINER: Right. And you can order from your laptop? ME: Yeah. Well, I can also use my phone. Sometimes that’s quicker. CHOTINER: And all the food in your fridge and pantry. When do you eat that? ME: Now hang on a second,

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

I think when we also go up in flames, the thing I’ll miss most is the Chotiner parodies

You would have thought billionaires and princes could get laid easier than this

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Who knew the two great texts of our time would be Network and Wall-E

These goddamn heroes

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

What Minneapolis residents have done this month in terms of organizing and community response is as remarkable as anything I've ever seen

An insight to any character is who they most loathe out of Miller, Vance and Trump. Every time I settle I’m like no wait

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

The thing about me is I’m immune from the flattering super computer that knows everything about me and the world

It feels like there ought to be some mechanism, just as a species, for us to collectively halt the dance of rules and civilisation, remove an element, saying, yeah obviously not this though, obviously. And then wordlessly begin it all again.

Kind of feels like a presidency that’s jumped the shark…

Museums / kid places opening at ten is the most louche nonsense out there. Do you know how long I’ve been up by 10am do you know how many hours I’ve had to fill? where were you at eight which is basically lunchtime you might as well wait until dusk and serve absinthe to everyone on entry jeez

I can’t believe this guy has the time for this sort of mid Bluesky trolling

holy shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...
