You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.

Absolutely dystopian juxtaposition from the Guardian front page. Difficult to understand how anyone of decency and conscience can defend this government at this point. Just sheer moral degeneracy to arm a state that does this and arrest people for objecting. Wtf are we doing as a country?

I’m not saying anything novel, but I wake up every morning, struck anew with the realization that the worst possible behaviors are incentivized, the virtues I uphold have no market value, the most tragicomically incompetent ppl are in charge, + we’re gleefully flooding ourselves with toxic sludge.

‘Given the size of Palestine Action and the breadth of support so far expressed for it, proscribing it could lead to a significant proportion of civil society being criminalised, including MPs, journalists and NGOs.’

“So The Sims 3 might have the greatest patch notes ever: bonewagon: • Kleptomaniac Sims can no longer steal Subway stations from lots. • Sims can no longer WooHoo in the Elevator with a Sim who is on a different floor. • The Grim Reaper will no longer be prevented from reaping souls due to band affiliation. • Fixed a tuning issue so that Sims now vomit at acceptable levels. • It is no longer possible to Try for Baby' with the Grim Reaper. • "Become Enemies with Child" wish no longer appears. • Sims who are on fire will no longer be forced to attend graduation before they can put themselves out. • Pregnant sims can no longer brawl. • Baby Sims will no longer become stuck on a Sim's hand while driving a car. • Sims will no longer receive a wish to "Skinny Dip" with Mummies. • A meteor can hit a building, which case everyone will run out before the collision. Those who do not exit the building will die. Sims automatically leave if a meteor is approaching, unless it is a school, in which children are not allowed to leave and will always die.

Reminds me of this classic

Screengrab of the "BFI Replay" website, featuring a collection titled Silver Screens: A Century of Cinemagoing, with the following introductory text: From the picture palaces of the past to modern multiplexes... The cinema has always been so much more than just a place to watch films. At the height of its powers, the silver screen stood for spectacle, sophistication, electricity and elegance as well as entertainment, and the very venues themselves were star attractions. These architectural marvels stood proud in cities and towns up and down the country, enthralling audiences in their thousands in the days when "going to the pictures" was a national pastime. For over a century, cinema has endured, and cinemas have changed with the times. The rise of television, video and home cinemas may have splintered the cultural dominance of the movies while bringing films to smaller and more convenient screens, but the thrill of the communal experience remains - as do many of the monumental structures themselves, whether they have been converted into bingo halls, renovated into plush modern picture houses, or left to loom over the high street. This collection celebrates the cinema as both a cultural icon and a haven for generations of starry-eyed dreamers, and documents the changing face of filmgoing from the bygone bioscopes and the lavish picture palaces of yesteryear to the sticky-floored multiplexes of today. So dim the lights, grab your popcorn, and lose yourself in the magic of the silver screen.

New curated collection by me over on BFI Replay, tracing the changing face of 'the cinema' as a cultural and architectural icon over the last 100 years, from grand picture palaces to sticky-floored multiplexes. Find it at your local library. 🍿

Three Years of Dismay, Disgust and Paralysis Arsenal have serious questions to answer, as Thomas Partey's case shines a light on extremely deep-set issues in the men's game as a whole.

Pretty clear what this one is about, and it doesn't need much introduction.

A lot of people have a lot to justify at Arsenal, and far beyond. I hope this situation can turn into the basis for some real change.
