If Dionne Warwick isn't writing a bio, neither am I
It's been 38 years since Smooth Criminal, which makes sense, but also it's apparently been 25 years since Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal, contributing to the mounting pile of evidence that humankind has accidentally double-counted a decade
It's creepy how politicians all over the world have been secretly convinced to approve all these datacentres. I'm sure if there was some hugely persuasive argument for doing so we'd have heard it by now. There's no attempt to justify it to the public in any of these so-called democratic countries.
This is going to be awful, heartbreaking for Keri Russell but we must be getting close to that point in history where Sean Penn and Matthew Rhys conceive a child together and send it back in time to the 60s so it can grow up to become Patrick Dempsey
Is it possible to make money tricking sales call centres into calling a premium rate phone number?
You think it's weird and inexplicable now just wait till Jared Leto is dead and they exhume his body every 6 months so he can continue to star in the latest Hollywood blockbusters
I'm never going to forget the Irish guy who put tabasco sauce in his eyes. That will stay with me forever.
Establishing crane shot. A free range chicken farm. Exterior day. V.O.: "IN CINEMAS NEAR YOU THIS AUGUST" Slowly zoom into a small red object abandoned in the field. V.O.: "SO MUCH DEPENDS" Shot tightens on the red object, a wheelbarrow V.O.: "UPON... A RED WHEELBARROW"

I am surprisingly annoyed about the closure of Jodrell Bank. I think it might be that everyone and everything good from England seems to now be either dead, gone or ruined
They're defunding and closing Jodrell Bank because of course they are. Never again will anything awe inspiring be permitted to exist in England
Plato: OK class le- Diogenes: I have a question Plato: Oh Zeus... What? Diogenes: WHO LIVES IN A BARREL DOWN BY THE SEA? Plato: Please don- Diogenes: DI👏O👏GEN👏ES👏 Plato: ... Diogenes: WHO SHITS ON THE FLOOR OF THE CLASS TAUGHT BY THEE?
Important stuff for Britain as a democracy, you might think. The Starmer project had no organically arising content: the whole thing was a collaborative enterprise between a tiny gaggle of party insiders and the national press. It was a fucking catastrophe within 18 months. Should we ask how or why?
The stranglehold the rightwing and far right have on our politics is absurd. Not a single policy or idea that benefits the country. A wild aversion to tax, immigration, NetZero, the EU.. trapping us in a dismal dead-end, unable to make progress for fear of the DailyMail demographic losing its shit.
When shopping, if I see a young person working there looking miserable I'll remember their name then write to the store and give them a completely manufactured glowing review. I remember what it was like doing jobs like that and it makes me feel good all evening.
For the first time ever, Doc Ock is scared to fight Spider-Man. Look how Steve Ditko depicts Spidey here. Such a simple thing to put him into shadow like that, but how many artists would think to do it?
Why aren't you happy? You fucking cretins, you absolute morons
I invite you to consider what would be said if the Guardian’s comment section, or the New Statesman’s, was dominated by weirdos unambiguously cheering on (pick a terrorist at random, here) as a prophet and an inspiration.
The worst thing about America's influence on fiction is the omnipresence of the character arc. Audiences are addicted to seeing characters become better people through a journey of self discovery, but real life is more like a British film, where people start off in a bad place and get worse

Solomon was not wise, he was lucky that baby survived. This is the same guy who claimed boobs look like baby deer. Come on.

To be a centrist today means you were a right winger 20 years ago or you've moved that far to the right along with the Overton window. There is no other possible way to be a centrist.
I made it 15 seconds into the Starmer speech before it was too much. So glad we won't be hearing that voice anymore
The Odyssey was good. It's good to finally to have a faithful adaptation by someone who understands the text. Only a few very minor complaints. The haters are probably all just contrarians or anhedonists. That's my review.
