Just bought. Being waiting patiently since I heard Once in a Lifetime
Still have no idea why I-tunes spells it this way. This seems to correspond to no known language. It’s not how it’s listed on physical media. It’s maybe their best known song.
If one were not bothered by the authoritarianism, deregulation, ableism, transphobia, health service privatisation, and the axe taken to one's civil rights by proscribing protest groups as "terrorists"; Mahmood, taken in isolation, would STILL be sufficient reason to never vote Labour again.

Who could predict that giving Mandelson a job would end up in a massive scandal? At a rough guess, the entire feckin’ country, that’s who.
Couple of Musee Lumiere highlights. The Lumieres seemed to have grown up with a painting of Sadako’s well which seems quite timeslippy. Secondly, one of them was working on 3D photography in the early thirties- doesn’t photograph obviously, but I was mesmerised by this.
Wasn’t expecting to be so moved at the Musee Lumiere, but felt like a medieval pilgrim coming to Canterbury. This has a strong a case as any as being the birthplace of cinema. Seeing the street those factory workers walked into was properly numinous. The museum is magnificent.
Appropriately attired in the Musee Lumiere.

The culture is just a tiny bit stupider since that “Hamnet and Marty Supreme lack plot” article was unleashed upon the world.
