We just need one more post about right wing hypocrisy & they're sure to come round.
Soundtracked to period pop, French comedy drama ‘Just An Illusion’ charts ups & downs of French-Algerian Jewish family in 80s France. Broad, contrived & sentimental but it’s appealingly played, particularly Camille Cottin & Louis Garrel as bickering parents, & newcomer Simon Boubil as smitten son
He’s a lover, not a fighter, a put wrongs to righter, a Monday blues smiter Jesse would like to wish everyone a good week #JessetheFox 🦊
Right. That is enough! I've just got off the phone to @lewisgoodall.com and he is crying his eyes out. I hope you're happy. Just because he likes to engage in a bit of false balance, and promote the ideas of the Tony Blair Institute, it doesn't mean you get to give him a wedgie.
‘Sorry chief, no tickets left for showings of ‘Carwash Fox & the Binjuice of Enchantment’; loads going for ‘Harry Potter & the Terfs of Twattington Manor’ though Lizziegee manning the box office at Tate Britain

I preferred The Odyssey in the original Klingon
My media sources tell me that all this publicity has really gone to Emily Wilson's head & she insists that everyone calls her the Emilator now in the LRB office.
Polite reminder the album this is off, 'Results', that Liza recorded with Pet Shop Boys is amazing: hip-hop version of 'Twist in My Sobriety', Minnelli reading Shakespeare over trancey beats, lovely orchestral versions of 'Rent' & 'Tonight is Forever', the lot mate

Great to catch up with globe-trotting ‘wordsmith’ @gabrielflynn.bsky.social again for a nice chat & a canny cup of coffee in Finsbury Park.
Will spare a photo for the faint-hearted but phizog currently looking a bit like this. Quite hot actually in a ‘bit of rough’ style
