It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

Perhaps we can stop being so parochial about Starmer's trip to Washington now. It was a failure. We are in a battle against fascism. And every decision we make is judged by whether it assisted or opposed it.

This article was only written an hour ago and has already aged as well as rancid milk. The question is - why did Starmer and his team think that sucking up to Trump was going to end well? Now what're you gonna do, Keir? You've fucked it, mate. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Fuck this shit. Slava Ukraini ✊🏻

Hackman was one of those rare actors who brought his whole being to whatever film he was on. He's as good in Superman or The Poseidon Adventure as he is in The Conversation or The Royal Tenenbaums. What charisma, what talent, and what a loss.

Don't be put off by the disgracefully dense and difficult way this consultation has been (quite deliberately?) laid out. You don't need to answer all the questions and the @writersguildgb.bsky.social have got a checklist of the main points. Please take the time to do it, it matters!

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.

Well, I was not expecting Paul Simon and Sabrina Carpenter duetting Homeward Bound on SNL at the weekend to be so moving, I was literally sobbing, but here we are. The delighted glances from Simon when he realises that Carpenter's bringing an entirely new layer to the song. youtu.be/ScFh0zNE0aE?...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

This is a totally fascinating and absorbing doc on the weird and wonderful influence that library music has had on popular culture. It was a great way to spend 20 minutes that I really should have spent getting this episode beat sheet finished 😬😬😬

During my Pizza Express era, Valentine's Day was the bleakest shift of the year. Scores of couples who no longer spoke to each other mumbling bleakly over a Fiorentina. Though there was a year when a couple got steaming drunk, announced their divorce, then she tried to pull a neighbouring customer👏

Who knew that ring-fencing protection of your film industry and subsiding it would mean that more domestic films got made and found an audience? 🤷🏻

More of the approach that's never worked once in political history: screaming "we're racist!" at the far right in the vain hope that people *who despise you* will switch from more racist parties, without your horrified base switching to less racist ones. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

"The chaos of these past few weeks shouldn’t mask that in this period, Trump has also waged as direct a campaign against a single, vulnerable minority as we’ve seen in generations."

The ‘Narrator About To Ruin Your Audiobook’ Talent Agency

The GC cult were always going to end up defending the most heinous beliefs, but it’s still quite shocking to see a national newspaper columnist hailing a convicted rapist who’s banning abortion as a “feminist hero”. Just breathtakingly disgusting 🤢

Oh god, does he have to?

What’s happening in the US is starting to feel more like a hacking than an election, with Trump basically cast as the idiot who clicked on the phishing email that let the ransomware guys in. Struck by how crucial tech not politics reporters are to us understanding it
