Noooooo holy shit that is bad

Basically Fennell is all about moments and this has many good ones, but it doesn't have the narrative pull-through-and-reveal of Saltburn, the tragic romance is half-baked. It should have stuck ruthlessly to being a grinning monster that force-feeds you semi-ironic kinky pulp until you happily burst

WUTHERING HEIGHTS ⭐⭐⭐ The audacity of it is initially overwhelming and I like that it dramatises an idea of the book, not the book itself which is largely about estate planning. Half an hour too long though and its generic "mad woman in Gothic melodrama" Cathy runs out of gas long before the end

My brother Garry has dementia and is currently lost somewhere in the Chester area. If anyone should spot him please call the police on 999. We'd appreciate reposts. @shitchester.bsky.social

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

Something for me to put all my A5 notebooks in

Had a similar experience this week. Disgracefully, if you search for "A6 notebook" on the John Lewis website, all the results are A5 notebooks. I only became aware of this when four entirely unwanted notebooks arrived. They are 100% too big 🤬🤬

"They're serving the interests of multi-millionaires and billionaires."

Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort in Harold and Maude (1971).

RIP Bud Cort. Harold and Maude is one of my favourite movies of all time and he’s spectacular in it. If you haven’t seen it, don’t find out anything about it. Just watch it.

Romesh Ranganathan laughing hysterically

When a guest on The Romesh Ranganathan Show says something faintly amusing, just part of the conversation really, may not even have been intended as a joke per se

Pretty sure that the escalator upon which Taylor Swift heads down in Croydon's Whitgift Centre is the same one that June Whitfield goes up in the Terry and June intro.

Well that's very kind, thank you. That was all me (I may have overestimated how well-known Goldberg is)

Small Prophets review – Mackenzie Crook’s magical new comedy is pure, pure pleasure Wonder lies below the surface of this truly fantastic sitcom from the creator of Detectorists. It’s an impossible marvel of TV making

Small Prophets review – Mackenzie Crook’s magical new comedy is pure, pure pleasure

Ha, sometimes I used to look up what it was that Scotland/Wales/NI were getting instead of, like, the biggest new show of the week. "Ah well in fairness that does sound excellent," is something I almost never said

Solid gold, this show

Exclusive: Detention Center Captives Are Throwing Lotion Bottles Wrapped With Notes to Organizers Outside Otay Mesa Facility ~ L.A. TACO “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh," an Otay Mesa captive communicated through handwritten note.

Concentration camps:

“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Radio Times has changed the masthead! The previous one was designed by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1927

HAMNET ⭐⭐⭐ The Home Alone of Oscar-bait weepie dramas, in that the whole film is the last 20 minutes. Pretty stagnant and contrived before that and the mystical elements were tiresome

Loving the Scott Walker vibes

"[Since the '80s], private equity has gobbled up £1.2 trillion in assets across Britain, a greater proportion than any other advanced economy... everything from schools, daycare centres, dentists and care homes to water companies, vets and even bucolic little villages in the Cotswolds".

This one?

Instructions for Co-Op pork ribs that advise on how long to cook them for in the oven and then suggests getting a "chargrilled barbecue" effect by finishing them off... on a barbecue

Some useful advice at the bottom there on how to get that elusive "barbecue effect"

Confirmed: #SmallProphets, Mackenzie Crook's new series, begins Monday 9 February at 10pm on BBC Two. If you liked #Detectorists, I think you'll enjoy this. Not that they're alike, but because they share the same spirit and humanity. I ❤️ it. Feature and review in next week's @radiotimes.bsky.social.

wint @dril. 6m @McDonalds i have an a 1 million dollar idea that will pull your failing company directly out of the toilet, hear me out. 12 wint @dril 6m @McDonalds all right. so first off we know that the hamburglar has become soft in recent years, the customers no longer fear him 今 273 13 wint @dril 6m @McDonalds and it is necessary, I believe, to threaten your customers with some sort of villain, to increase the perceived valueof your food 41 7 wint @dril 6m @McDonalds but how do you shake the core of a public fresh off the heel's of the 9/11 atrocities. what is it that they fear the most 271 wint @dril 5m @McDonalds they fear Chaos. they fear those who dont simply loot and plunder as the hamburglar does, but those who seek to Destroy. 31 wint @dril 5m @McDonalds and so me & the boys have invented "the mcshitter", a fictional man who jumps up on tables and shits all over the customers meals 234 wint @dril 5m @McDonalds i know its fucked up. but "shit" is one of the last few apolitical threats. 99% of ppl on both sides of the spectrum dont like it 4 7 wint @dril. 5m @McDonalds this is money in the bank. put the mcshitter in all of your branding, and enjoy a tenfold increase in likes and re-tweets wint @dril-5m 2 5 @McDonalds your current slogan, "Im Lovin It", will no longer do. i would suggest replacing it with "Look out.

this is still the best thing ever posted on twitter

Always have a little chuckle at the Amex when the hoarding ads for "Kissimmee, Florida" come on. Not Florida generally! Very specifically Kissimmee. (I think it's near Disney World but the ads don't mention that)
