It is not that anyone here would be interested at all, he lied, but the #CocteauTwins have just hours ago revamped and updated their YouTube page to finally include all their official videos over the years, in hi-def at that. So. You know. Not that anyone here would be interested as I said.

🧵 This is how I remember Twitter. A news story being dissected intelligently and wittily with no whataboutery and no-one interrupting. It won’t last but I’ll enjoy it while it does.

They were lulled not a state of reassurance by the film’s silences, the moments of quiet contemplation when Robert McCall briefly glimpses a beautiful world at rest, a world he can never be part of. Ignore anyone who says it’s a boring film with some good kills. “The boring bits”, are amazing.

People often ask me - "have you got that picture of Cary Grant in uniform with a puppy poking out of the pocket?" Yes, they do. They rush up to me in the streets, it's true. Well, yes. Yes, I do. And here it is.

Letterboxd last four watched. Three downright masterpieces, and one supposedly romantic comedy with the least appealing male lead imaginable

So @andrewmale.bsky.social was waxing lyrical about a show called Evil which I’d never heard of so I bought the first episode and was loving it and then the title sequence came up 15 mins in and it’s by MICHELLE AND ROBERT KING. So of COURSE it’s amazing. Thank you Andrew.

This wont be news to anyone but… …As of May, we’re at 35,562 deaths in Gaza That’s 82% of The Blitz (51% all UK civilian casualties during WW2) and rising 1/3 of these are children Israel’s losses numbered 1478 …it shouldn’t just numbers but no moral conception of war justifies this imbalance

My French mother often calls me Mistinguett and now I know why! I thought it was a cheeky endearment like “hello trouble”

This is BANXY, who will be one year old on July 4th. He came to us nine months ago, rescued from an abandoned car in The Bronx. He is amazing. I just read that people are giving their black cats to shelters because "they don't photograph well." WTF is wrong with those humans who do that?

Any UK-based French voters here: if you haven't received your text password, you are not alone. Here's what to do: - find your NUMIC (voter registration number, which is NOT the same as your identifiant) - it should be in an email - go to the vote site and scroll down to <je vote par internet> (1/?)

"I been all around this great big world...but I couldn't wait to get back in the States..." It's Brian Wilson quietly trying to signal to Mike Love that he's tired of touring and just wants to stay at home, but Mike misinterprets it as proto-Facebook "ranking of hot chicks" song.

(Going back up the thread) That said, the idea that Sutekh has travelled with the Doctor for nearly 50-years and become obsessive about minor points of continuity that haven't been explained properly... I believe this is what the young people call 'I feel seen'.

I find it darkly amusing that J.K. Rowling is always listed on X/Twitter as trending under 'Arts & culture', as if anyone is looking at that thinking, 'Ooh, I wonder what Joanne has to say now about the vibrant world of the arts?'
