Dislocating all the bones in my body so some sort of shadowy colossis of the cosmos can marionette me through whatever is left of my life.

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

I'm a bloke. A 60 year old bloke. A bloke who's watched mens football since the early 70s. I now watch women's football with the same fervour. That is no credit to me. It's all credit to the women and their game. Well done them. Fuck you Joey Barton. Come on England #engvesp #Lionesses

A Borges story about a guy who gets AI to summarize all the world’s information for him, and then summarize the summary, until the AI has the whole world summarized into a single word. He sits alone at his desk, staring at the word, repeating it endlessly, certain he is experiencing everything

I'm kind of excited the symbiotic relationship between press and music is moving back into a 'ban this sick filth' era. It's usually a sign that music is doing something that isn't being done elsewhere and in ways that are different from column length dick swinging and gob for hire gigs on telly

There is a God and his name is Heyman. David Heyman.

Picture of the year?

Like clockwork , as soon as you criticise the fossil fuel companies and executives – out come the lobbyists and shady thinktanks based at and near the infamous SW1 55 Tufton Street .

when the sun comes up on the savanna, the lion starts running to catch the gazelle. the gazelle starts running to escape the lion. and i stand absolutely still 7500 miles away ordering a mcmuffin & hash browns on a little glowy rectangle.

Tuesday is the sexy librarian of days. It’s easy to let it slip by, but you have to encourage it to let its hair down and whip off the double-glazing, and stick in the contacts. Watch it smoulder into life…

re: ai, you people don’t love making things you love having things and capitalism has convinced you that ownership is self actualization and it’s not and that’s why you’re empty inside

Xavier transitioned and became Vivian Jenna Wilson. She is alive and well and lives in Japan.

No loving parent would ever write such a disgusting thing as this, and it speaks volumes.

Sweet Sue on BBC 2 this Friday at 11pm, and then on iPlayer.

The greatest ever artist in any medium.

An older Orson Welles sitting down for an interview, but with a meme quote that says: Content, content, content! A taco possesses content. A ship's manifest. An owner's manual for the operation of a microwave. Was Botticelli a content creator? Did Joyce wreck himself in chasing English to its limits "for the vine"? My God, man; have a little self respect.

Ending the night with this.

A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

It is not Zelensky and Ukraine that should be thanking the West.

It is the West that should be thanking Zelensky and Ukraine.

The play that changed my life: Sing Sing’s Clarence Maclin on lessons from Sophocles in prison Staging Shakespeare and Twelve Angry Men with fellow prisoners was a revelation but Oedipus Rex proved particularly poignant

Really wonderful to read about the transformation this prison drama program that was dramatised in Sing Sing had on one of the cast members lives

Solid messaging.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.
