Here’s the Bad News film. Bizarrely and unfairly erased from the general consciousness since Spinal Tap. youtu.be/dRwy79DHA6o?...

As noted in the podcast, it’s rare to hear Farage get properly grilled. Not seen any coverage of this hearing anywhere else.

Give Tenniscoat’s ‘Waltz for Dubby” a spin. A beautiful reductive version that may help. The whole album is fantastic.

A Letter from Ghislaine Maxwell I’d like to take this opportunity to clear up any lingering doubts, particularly in regard to President Trump’s involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s life.

I couldn’t love Larry David more.

Yeah, Trump is always wishing people well. He’s a well wisher. Well known for wishing well.

Came back to say that I took a while to find Sky Arts on my smarter-than-me-TV, but got there in time for the broadcast. Loved your film.

The replies to this are fantastic. Funny, poignant, occasionally icky, they are a window into social history, product branding, and surprisingly often, how we memorialise the past. Well worth your time.

The IDF is the group targeting little kids sleeping in tents in Gaza using thermal imaging armed drones, but Bob Vylan and Kneecap are the problem? Got it.

Oh, that is brutal. But yes, the writing is very good.

Over on ILX there's a new thread called "Let's determine the best moment of New Order's The Perfect Kiss on Substance" and these are the options in the poll and 1) accurate, all of them and 2) I am in agonies that there is no "ALL OF THEM" option.
