do you know what would help!!!!!!!! living in a society that lets people experiment with their gender without treating it like the most important thing in the world!!!!!!! letting people get it right or wrong without politicising their decisions!!!!!!! just being chilled about gender!!!!!! aaahhhhhh

Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”.

Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.

Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

Maintain my view that the real two tier policing is "easy things Vs hard things".

“This is a song about copping drugs in New York…”

Peter Dinklage and Ethan Hawke, sitting on camp chairs, chatting whilst drinking beers in episode 5 of 'The Lowdown'.

I just finished episode 5 of 'The Lowdown', and I want a spin-off of these two guys just drinking beers and shooting the shit. Would watch on a loop.

Remembering Grant McLennan on his birthday. Here are the Go-Betweens performing Apology Accepted on Whistle Test in 1986

Mason @realMasonMohon : 1h You have a pride flag in your bio. You obviously think marriage is a term with no actual content that can be applied to anything. No wonder we say you don’t understand marriage Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites - ih The rainbow in my bio is a reminder that G-D will never again bring destruction to creation, that His covenants are eternal, that his word is unfailing, and that His gifts to my foremothers and forefathers are everlasting. Mason @realMasonMohon - 23m Apologies for misunderstanding. As I’m sure you know, many others use it to represent something else Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites I also suck dick

Went to see MBV back in November, so have been listening back to a lot of the early nineties shoegaze for the first time in a LONG time. The first FSA and Verve albums still sound magnificent.

Film poster for the 2018 film 'American Animals'.

Seen a lot of promo the last couple of weeks for a new heist movie, 'Crime 101', and was 'meh, not for me'. Just discovered it's directed by Bart Layton, whose last film, 'American Animals', is one of my favourite films of the last decade. Underseen and underrated, I can't recommend it enough.

Bud Cort, ‘Harold and Maude’ Star, Dies at 77 Bud Cort, who starred in 'Harold and Maude" and "Brewster McCloud," died Wednesday. He was 77.

What a shit fucking day. I had just recently watched Brewster McCloud and I was marvelling at his astonishing performance. A brilliant actor. RIP variety.com/2026/film/ne...

The fucking cheek of this tax dodging cretin. Bangs on about 9 million 'not in work', when he's laid off 450-500 United employees (40% of the workforce) in the last 18 months. Prick.

Good evening, I am a cunt.

They've invested billions of dollars to create a Labour MP

Ah, of course it is 👍 One less album to consider, anyway.

Long list for #5DebutAlbums0509
This period falls directly in my 'getting married, buying a house, having kids' fallow period. Not the greatest era of music, but still a fair few that have had the legs and stayed the course.

I think they released a demo album under a different name, but this was their debut as MGMT. Great singles, but drops off towards the end. Agree that their second album was excellent.

arguably the biggest news of the week that Lisa Nandy is currently doing something related to her brief

Keir Starmer sitting at his desk, knowing that he can struggle on or by 6pm he could be knocking back his second Kingfisher whilst waiting for his butter chicken and plain naan to turn up.

Upwards of £250,000.

This is exactly why this guy earns the big bucks.

Just saw a post with George Clinton citing the Beatles as his favorite band, which reminded me of this quote he once gave me

J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling 1h X Add Keir Starmer's newfound concern for victims of Peter Mandelson's bestie to his backflip on whether women can have penises and his U-turn on the Rotherham grooming gangs enquiry. Starmer is indifferent to harm done to girls and women unless it threatens his career. #StarmerOut

They bent over backwards to please this roaring crackpot. Hasn’t gone quite as planned.

Kids can't hang out in parks. They can't hang out at the mall. They don't have 3rd spaces because no one wants kids around and then we are surprised when they rely on SM for connection.
If you take that away, what do they have left?

All timer. Love this record.
