Pulp Fiction. It's the Oasis of movies for me, I feel like it's just me pointing at it and saying "But... he's got no clothes on?"
Rachel Merrill Artist for Gil Thorp and Death To Pachuco!@ohhhaeee.bsky.social · 2w agoWhats a movie everyone fucking loves that you despise? It doesnt have to be objectively bad, you just objectively DID NOT. Heres one for me since Ive been on a Barbara Loden kick lately-
Ok, time for a thread about what I saw yesterday at #CrystalPalace. As you can see, just about everything has been repaired and re-painted, and in places (like the previously misidentified Xiphodon) re-positioned. It looks fantastic and you have to check it out, even if you've visited before...
Oh my god, everyone. I don't want to get my hopes up, but a whole week of temperatures under 25 degrees, maybe even with some - gasp! - light cloud?! 🥳
If you were an indie kid in the late 1980s, you might be excited to learn that Gudrun Sjoden sells 4 different colours of stripey tights. The royal blue is super-80s, and the aubergine & cinnamon is the colour I would wear if I could still bear to wear tights. www.gudrunsjoden.com/en-gb/search...
Looking forward to approximately the 146th week of alternately roasting & sweating outside and hiding in the dark at home with all the windows and curtains drawn. When will it raaaaiiiinnnnn 😭🥱🥵
Please, @theguardian.com, I'm begging you, stop with Dining Across the Divide. Nobody cares what a couple of random people, at least one of whom - sometimes both! - is a certified arsehole, think. Nobody has *ever* cared.
Another entry in my occasional series "Little Guys in World Art". This charming chap getting his groove on is a whistle made by the pre-Columbian Moche culture of Peru. I love his little face so I drew him.
Dear Thames Water, You could probably have avoided this hosepipe ban by fixing your pipe that's been leaking thousands of litres of water into my block's front garden for an entire year. So much water that it remains a swamp following three heatwaves and the hottest June on record.
Nice article on the fabulous textile designer Enid Marx, who has a new exhibition. Unfortunately (for me) it's at Compton Verney which is not accessible by public transport. Bah. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
Enid Marx: the maverick textile artist who changed tube commutes for ever
Her fabric designs jazzed up the London Underground and though Queen Elizabeth II rejected her idea for a stamp, her work made a permanent cultural imprint, as a new exhibition reveals

The all-Czech women's Wimbledon final has just gone to a decider after FIVE match points came and went in the second set. Hope the last set is as gripping as that was. 😱
I'm about 12 hours late with this, but as always, John Finnemore has a sketch (song) about that... 'Belgium is the Best': www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtbF...

Which the ref then stretched to eleven minutes seemingly just in order to give Brazil an undeserved penalty and a chance of coming back. Hmm.
Sea Lion in a Hat@bright0nkath.bsky.social · 2mo agoHow the fuck are there SEVEN minutes of added time, though? There's been almost no stoppage for refereeing or injury since the penalty.

I was not expecting this match to be so uninteresting I'd find myself second screening Neil the Seal videos.
Jon Bon Jovi must be making more money than any of the advertisers from these sodding hydration breaks. If I hear Livin' On A Prayer one more time, I swear... 🙉
Three Things I've Enjoyed This Week: 1) The thrilling denouement of 'Murder of a Famous Bastard', a murder mystery podcast written by & starring @watsoncomedian.bsky.social 2) The thrilling final Wimbledon match played by retiring Swiss one-hand backhand king Stan Wawrinka 3) Neil the Seal!
Just walked through Crystal Palace Park where Alanis Morissette is playing tonight, supported by Skunk Anansie. People arriving for the gig split roughly 80/20 into: 1) 30s-50s nice mums on a girls' night out, with a crossbody bag 2) Punk lesbians
Whoop whoop! Well done, Egypt! Great to see another African team make it through to the R16.
Watching penalties somehow almost as agonising when you don't have any skin in the game.
Very much enjoying all the Neil the seal content popping up all over my social media. It's a pinniped summer! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
A 1,000kg mammal is wreaking havoc in Tasmania – and Neil the seal is loved for it
The elephant seal has been crushing fences, blocking traffic and bashing into parked cars, in what experts say is play-fighting behaviour

Au revoir, Stan Wawrinka. You were a big part of my life for many years. So long and thanks for all the backhands 😀👈
Make that THREE tie breaks in a row. Allez, Stan!
Sea Lion in a Hat@bright0nkath.bsky.social · 2mo agoWatching Stan Wawrinka v Matteo Berrettini in Wimbledon R1. Two incredible tie breaks in a row & looking like it might go the distance. I was a huge Stan fan from 2015-2020, then lost interest in tennis for a few years, but what a delight it is to see him playing his final year on tour at 41. 👉😀
