"It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish."

Charles Baudelaire

Very much enjoyed Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of Queer. A few movies to catch up on, but might be my favourite of the year. Then again, a trippy adaptation of William Burroughs does feel like it was designed specifically for me.

So glad that you've managed to learn a new word today. Most of us learned it when we were about 8 years old, but you're slowly catching up :)

If a character gets on a train at any point, in any movie, the chances of them subsequently having to clamber onto the roof of that moving train is 100%.

Yeah same, I thought this was going to be a refuge from the endless deluge of toxic American politics and instead 99% of the posts are about Trump.

As a Scottish-Brit who has been learning German for a few years, I'm constantly amazed how much of our local vocabulary is just German. "I know" in the north-east is "I ken", which sounds much closer to "ich kenne"

Then what does? Rich are always going to protect the rich, and fatten themselves off the rest of us.

Why would he do that? He has to protect all his billionaire buddies

Credit to Disney for ending the culture war by releasing a trailer so upsetting and offensive that humanity has united against it.

Spoiler for 2025: my wrapped is just going to be the theme song to Shaft, 5 times.

Veganism spawned from Marxism? That's hilarious, you'd have to be seriously dense to believe that something can 'spawn' something which came thousands of years before it existed. The vegan movement shows the market working correctly. Demand rose for plant based food and the market has catered to it.

Wrapped time!

I enjoyed seeing it on the big screen here in the UK. Morning showing. I was the youngest there by about 40 years and a man behind me snored all the way through the second half. Just as Clint intended.

I've seen him in a few things recently and he's simultaneously the best and worst actor. He's used perfectly in Between the Lines.

Crossing the bridge towards Edinburgh. Braving the weather for @hiddendoorarts.bsky.social tonight.

We're down at The Paper Factory and it's a beautiful snowy scene - lovely for pics, not so great for an event! ⛄️

🚨 NOW OPENING AT 3PM
We'll now open at 3, when the weather should have significantly improved

✅ NO OTHER DISRUPTIONS
We expect to be open tonight as planned. Dress warm - it's chilly!

Scotrail are basically paying me to use their trains at this point.

It never ceases to amaze me that Scotland completely falls apart at the first sight of the snow that we get at least once a year.

The Game

We had a staffed desk and a self service machine. I always assumed if they're coming up to the desk it's because they want to chat.

We've invented a new type of weather, you won't like it.
