This is so Wes Anderson, I can almost hear the affectless Jason Schwartzmann voiceover saying "My mother used to design undercover disguises for the Stasi"
Move over Hemingway, "Elon Musk, please help" clocks in at a cool four words
I see those a lot, it's baffling. "He didn't touch them, he just shared a bed with them!" ok but that's still bad
Top middle is Pauline from The League of Gentlemen.
New American Apparel catalogue just dropped
Did you see the 4k remastered Rothkos
Everyone morning I log in and every morning The News hasn't happened and I won't sugarcoat it, it is a ~little disheartening
Idly contemplating the different people they had on different versions of the old Mastermind game
Finally someone adapted Sam Raimi's Darkman for TV www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IxP...
I used to work just around the corner from the house he gets abducted from, 1 Buckingham Palace. Stumbled upon it by chance while wandering aimlessly eating a Leon Korean chicken burger and recognised it immediately
