Black and white photograph of a black cat, seen from behind, walking through snow with lots of snow clumps all over its fur. The cat's tail is saucy and erect but leaning towards the right. There is no other landscape in the photo other than the white snow. Found on martiniden666's Tumblr, it's titled Cat in the Snow, 1953, photographer Hannes Kilian.

Found on martiniden666's Tumblr - thought this was a drawing but the caption says it's a photo from 1953 titled Cat in the Snow from photographer Hannes Kilian.

incredible quote lol

I wonder if Labour's polling results will go up as a result of boastfully adopting ludicrously hard right and inexcusably cruel immigration policies in an attempt to appease some of the worst people alive?

*Labour drops three points in the polls*

Tom Hanks is super lowkey about it so I can see why! It's the kinda thing you'd imagine would be a regular story for him, but for whatever reason it never comes up.

lmao

I also totally agree with Steven about the fans having as much of an effect on The Beatles as vice versa and have wanted someone to discuss this for years!

Really enjoyed this!

Wrt Tom Hanks - The Hanks family and the Harrisons met in Fiji when Tom was filming Cast Away. George + Tom apparently got on really well. Olivia + Rita are friends to this day. I always thought it was weird their connection wasn't mentioned at all.

George and Yoko both said he was the one who asked Yoko about John's demos, yet in the Anthology trailer it's credited to Paul. Funny to see Beatles history twisted in real time.

Damn that's cool.

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

my opinion is that the whole point of a government is to keep its citizens alive. any government that can't figure out how to house and feed everyone in its borders has failed! we have enough for everyone, but some people have nothing. that's not my fault or yours, that's policy working as intended.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

The three types of ‘50s pop songs were come on everybody let’s do the snap pea, if you ever kissed me I would turn into some goo, and hey hey beautiful child I would never take you over state lines

we did it babes.... we're the opposite of cooked. what is that. we're ingredients

Tonight I will be re-signing New Yorkers' extension on being insufferable. You've earned it. Tonight we are all walking here.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

At a time when billionaires would be all too happy to replace artists with AI slop, I think it's important to celebrate artists like Drew Struzan.

If you've seen a movie poster in the past 30+ years, you've seen something he did. A true master of the craft.

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

It's really fun to see how her artwork develops too and what's wild is she's equally good at horror. Each series has a unique feel about it while always being classic RT.
