There was a year or so when this was the alarm sound on my phone, until I realised that nobody needs to be *that* alarmed

Hello since Radio 3 played this on the playlister this morning I have listened to it about 10 times, oh God I really love it, it's Philip Glass John Carpenter, it's being chased through a sunken city by a giant anglerfish www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vajh...

The Sunday Times has always had a celebrity journalist instead of an actual film critic. I think that sucks (as do the people it appoints) but it's not new.

Kai Havertz, and let slip the dogs of war! (After @elvisbunuelo.bsky.social)

I know directors who use subtlety and they're all cowards

Help secure the Cinema Museum's future! It's the UK's only museum dedicated to the experience of cinema-going. It's in the old Lambeth Workhouse, where seven-year-old Charlie Chaplin lived with his destitute mother. And it needs £500k in the next three weeks! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-cinema...

The Cinema Museum: HELP US BUY OUR HOME

After 40 years of uncertainty, we have a chance to secure our home. We need £500,000 to purchase our home and we have five months to do it!

I stopped giving Wells any headspace ages ago but am obscurely delighted that he is still very much At It

Jeff Wells coming in hot at Venice with the scoop on “Ernest” Lubitsch

The news on Radio 6 just now led on Reform promising to increase the personal allowance.

Content warning: Multiple men violently assault a female protester at Reform's conference at the Birmingham NEC, to the visible delight of Nigel Farage.

They're finally gonna fuck, let's gooooooo

Love the idea of the Antichrist just walking among us. Going to Tesco. Taking the bins out. Pre booking an imax screening of dune.

Vance: I'd be not shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us. But I try not to focus too much on it

Behind the scenes with Grace Jones on Legend. Tim Curry. Bon voyage

Ah, no

Rolling out “academic freedom” as a rallying cry now, after the CRT panic led to a bunch of Black scholars and theory to be literally banned from classrooms, shit is too rich lol

Why do 60% of women’s profiles on dating apps now say they want a man whose “actions match his words”? Is this chatbot driven homogeneity? And more importantly, why are more women therefore not more impressed by my mastery of “Superman” by Black Lace?

One dumbass and their imaginary friend telling each other “exactlyy”

Lmao.

I loved LADY (there were statistically significant walkouts so caveat emptor) but on behalf of the shakycam intolerant I would just note for the benefit of mockumentarians that actual documentaries now are always gimballed up the wazoo and nothing looks like that anymore.

A week of transport chaos culminates in a train journey scheduled to get me to St Leonards at 1.15 getting me to Eastbourne at 3pm.

A thing here is that I talk to ostensibly sensible-ish liberalish people who don’t need a lot of prompting to be like “omg the projected benefits bill though!” So; what is the alternative to funding benefits for the vulnerable? Say it out loud..

"This is not generosity. It is suicidal empathy" writes Robert Jenrick (Telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08...) quotes in para 3 of the BBC report, with a link. "Suicidal empathy" is also the core phrase Elon Musk wants to popularise to promote remigration, political violence + civil war

It's that time again for the British press

You can find so many people to satisfyingly block just by having a look at Stephen Bush’s mentions RN. Take that, Altered Carbon guy!

It’s raining!

I am sure the British news media is suitably ashamed of hounding a man to his death over an HR matter

I think I will not be doing the planned funny wildfire alert skeet

Fucking hell that’s grim

AND I saw some meteors. It was like Barbenheimer day.

Lol I went up the London Eye to get this. Had to borrow the glasses.

Guys I’m on the central line. I have located the other 91% of the sun

I used nature's colander: trees
