11 yr old is psyched. It’s one for the kids this time.

Are you doing the new record?

If you insist on talking loudly during a concert, you should refund the ticket price of everyone in your immediate vicinity

I would’ve loved The Secret Agent to have won anything really. A great film, important and relevant right now and more people might’ve seen it after a couple of Oscars. All the others are wonderful but they had good exposure and box office already.

I think people assumed because he could speak French he was cultured and intellectual, but he’s just got a French Dad.

Absolutely this. Even worse when kids rock up in football kits because a footballer ‘wrote’ a kids book.

British Australian dual citizen here! Voting in Aus also mandatory which most seem to think is just as, if not more important for keeping out the lunatics

But sad that so few people approved of scrapping the two child limit for child benefit.

It would legally impossible but I’d love a database that can tell you that. In the meantime Anti Fascist Black Metal Network on instagram do good recommends for bands that are actively not wrong uns
