Yeah, I was a bit surprised that cunt was so high up there.
Like sausage dogs are wonderful little critters, but they are also epic fucking dickheads, this is the most dachshund story ever.
Important work here.
For 18 months foreign journalists have been blocked from reporting freely in #Gaza. More than 150 of our Palestinian colleagues have been killed. We must keep demanding access. I'm speaking at the Frontline Club on May 6th alongside @arwadamon.bsky.social. Tix here:

I get the principle that Ian is putting forward here but to me it suggests how little we value the importance the common auditory space we all inhabit vs the visual. I see music etc played out loud on public transport as sonic littering, pure selfish entitlement to the detriment of all.
Tuesday's Online Miskatonic will be covering some lesser known films, no less vital, or interesting - Get on it! Broaden your horizons - billetto.co.uk/e/wells-womb...

Did Fulci have a cameo in Don't Torture a Duckling?
It's worth noting that this looks terrifyingly like my younger brother.
April is going to be a great Miskatonic month here in London Beyond Fulci (lol) we've also got a chat with Tom O'Neill, author of Chaos - a mad book drawing together all your wildest crack pot 60s conspiracy theories into one accidental explosion.

UK bands from the 80s all have bios like: "The group met at a government-funded arts mixer where they each received six months' rent tax-free" while for bands from the 2020s they're like "formed as a final year project at Goldsmiths, their first release was funded by interest from their trust funds"
Here's a piece I just wrote for the British Film Institute on colour in Japanese film, to tie in with the Japan Foundation UK's screenings of CARMEN COMES HOME as part of its annual touring season. www.bfi.org.uk/lists/10-gre...

Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease.

I guess it could have been tree sap. But I feel like that would have been bitter. And definitely a less amusing story.
I was just cycling, doing breathing, clear blue skies through Victoria Park, and suddenly weird gritty, salty wet in my mouth. I assume it was a bird.
I spat ferociously for at least a mile.
A bird once shat in my mouth while I was cycling.
That was a moment.
