Glasgow Film Fest! The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie! Let’s see what all the fuss is about.

This is no longer impressive. I’m bored now. Call me when he wins the Booker Prize or finds the Zodiac Killer or something. www.bbc.com/sport/athlet...

This is like when people make their Grindr profile pictures screenshots of people messaging them compliments after sex. Diva this is not TripAdvisor!

Drag name: Jade Evahns.

Newsnight booking the US Ambassador to Denmark between 2019-2021 as a guest tonight…….okay.

I think it’s fine for people to be frustrated that Starmer didn’t tweet anything for ages even if he was doing stuff behind the scenes.

The Pitt is the best TV show in years.

Just an hours drive from Glasgow :)

We have a puppet of Russia as President. What an utterly disgraceful, shaming, abhorrent moment for this country.

yes it went badly for Ukraine for the very reasons here stated in the second and third sentences

The way that X is alienating people from mainstream opinion is shown in the way you have people sitting down to 'puzzle out' something which 90 per cent of people in England agree on the answer to.

Very astute point in here about how, even if it isn’t Starmer’s intention, these cuts will be linked to what Trump is doing with USAID. Reminds me of Sarwar’s stupid DOGE announcement here in Scotland.

Terrific resignation letter by Anneliese Dodds, this.

My husband is in a work call so he doesn’t yet know that Azealia Banks is feuding with Mummy Pig from Peppa Pig. But when he is out of the call I will get to break the news to him. That Azealia Banks is feuding with Mummy Pig from Peppa Pig.

Keir Starmer’s genie has the same number of hours in a day that you do……you have NO excuse.

just gonna be the thousandth person to remind you all that segregationists start the open bigotry with people they feel they can target most easily but do not end there

This is obviously dangerous and incendiary, but also just quite sad. What an awful way to view identity

Very good statement. Stopping trans people from using single-sex services does not work practically, makes nobody safer and is cruel.

Watching Onibaba, perhaps the marshiest movie of all time.

Bloody hell

Giving people like this a platform to talk about what has happened to them is a much more effective message for Democrats than arguing about how much exactly how much executive power Musk is authorised to wield.

The UK has many wonderful phrases I have incorporated into my vocabulary but one South Africanism I’ve yet to find a remotely adequate replacement for is “so now what must happen”

Oh this is NASTY

“A Downing Street source accepted that some would be nervous but argued that it was necessary. They said: “It will annoy a lot of people, and we inevitably won’t agree with everything the outsiders we invite in say. But provocation is useful” 🙄 www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

I find this spiritually disgusting in ways impossible to articulate.

Do you ever think about how the song that makes the best use of drums ever is also the song that makes the best use of bass ever and is also the song that makes the best use of a horn section ever open.spotify.com/track/3vXb9l...

If a trans person from a country that allows for the changing of official gender markers applies for a visa, how will the US know what their sex assigned at birth is? Not being funny - this is a genuine question!

I’m reading Frédéric Martel’s “In the Closet of the Vatican” which is a bit sloppy if I’m being honest, but does feature some incredible euphemisms/legal workarounds for referring to gay cardinals. My favourite so far is the cardinal whose love for Almodóvar is frequently referenced.

South Africa’s Minister of Education announcing a collaboration with McDonald’s to supply primary school children with desks that double as bags……..sometimes the images speak for themselves.

This is so poorly-written. What does this sentence mean?
