わたくしは別に反左とか右っていう自認はなくて、むしろ反帝国主義だけは高校生の頃から貫いてきただけにいろいろつらいんですよ

ベネズエラはどっちかというと「ガチの反帝国主義者が民主主義を破壊して独裁者になってしまった」ケースだと思うのだが、南米においては右も左もめちゃくちゃに苛烈になりがちなのはコンキスタドールとめりけんのせいなのでやはり白人は(略

『TENET テネット』公開後クリストファー・ノーランは『007』監督に興味を示したが、ジェームズ・ボンド映画の権利を持つイーオン・プロダクションズのバーバラ・ブロッコリは“どのような監督にもファイナルカット(最終編集権)を与えない”ことを明確にし、この話は実現しなかったという―。(その後ノーランは『オッペンハイマー』に移って世界興収10億ドル近くを稼ぎ出しアカデミー賞を受賞)

...revamp? 🤔

Not saying this is up there with Sepp Blatter's tighter shorts idea as stupid ideas go. But I'm not, not saying it either.

I'm genuinely gutted w/ BFI ditched paper printed programs for each film from this year :(

Ernest Cole: Lost and Found: Very powerful documentary. Personally I prefer let the subject's work more than writer's dialogue. Still very meaningful film particularly this film is partly about where these Paypal mafias came from. #2025film

Spider in the bath. TORTIE ACTIVATED.

なんか映画祭以来arte製作の映画しか見ていないような気がしてきたぞ

Meanwhile drama schools are shrinking. Are they going to put influencers or models or someone on stage

分断はデフォルトで存在するもんなので、その修復なり緩和をするひとを増やす必要がある。別に邪悪な誰かが一から作るもんじゃねえから

NEW: Just 6% of Gen Z say they actually want a dictator – not over half, as has been recently claimed. Our study finds only a very small minority of 13-27-yr-olds really feel this way, when their views and interpretations are tested with different questioning approaches 🧵⬇️

ほんっとひどいな…しかし「どっかよそのかわいそうな誰かじゃなくてかわいそうな俺たちを救え」は左右関係なくアピールしてしまう

Trump has inadvertently achieved something truly spectacular in Canada. His anti-Canada obsession has caused a rapid resurrection in support for the Liberal Party - against the fortunes of his much favoured Conservatives, which had been on track to storm this year's election until his intervention.

happy to announce I have become the one millionth person to write about fainting audience members, although that’s sort of the point of the article - why are we obsessed with fainting in a way we’re not with, say, crying www.thestage.co.uk/opinion/fain...

今日ポンチキの日か!

だから真の血統純粋主義って王党派とは相性が悪いはず。むしろ血の混在が少ない庶民との相性の方がいい(だからマルクス主義を標榜しつつ人種差別することが可能)

I guess the real far rights are not actually monarchists are they

Why these ethnocentric morons don’t present their DNA proof of race/blood

This swaggering, bowl-haircutted mofo just turned up here, too

これやらないのもまたちょっとひっかかるんだわ

これ、一方では「権力に対して甘いくせに被害者には厳格なルール準拠を求めるのはアンフェアである。外国のドキュメンタリー作家にはこういうのもいる」くらいに開き直って見栄切って欲しいという気分もある

ドキュメンタリー映画をめぐる危なっかしい議論といえば、ノーアザーランドで「ユダヤ系イスラエル人が制作に関わっていることがどうしても許せない」ひとびとがいるのを見るたびになんとも言えん気分になる。敵を完全に切り離したがるひとびとがいる

The more i research, the more it's clear that the defining business relationship of the early PC era was never Microsoft and IBM. It was Microsoft and Compaq. And it happened because Gates saw Canion as an engineer. And Canion was the only CEO who was fine with Gates being a weird little gremlin.

めりけん政府で起きてることとユナイテッドで起きてることの相似を鑑みて「俺はかしこいから無駄がわかる。そしてそれを全部削ってやる」という傾向の頭の悪さだけが見える

21Cは「政治に興味があるのでちょっとかっこよく見せたい」場合は大体つまんない極右になるんだよな。これが80年代だと活動家系の左派だったのだが、冷戦以降その魅力は薄らいでしまったし彼ら自身もなんか変な方向に向かってしまった(煮詰まったともいう)

Is there any route from NS to Labour to enhance looks-moderate-left-but-want-to-be-looked-cool-actually-boring-far-right policy?

As every art activities get expensive then I've been thinking move to film from theatre for years, just not yet

I found a bit weird to call a subsidised theatre get "greedy" - they've been suffering from a lack of money even before COVID. Yes it is a shame everything going expensive but they're not doing it for shareholders - or are they (kind of)?

やっぱまんちぇ行かないとだめなやつじゃん

What, extension bit at Manchester Art Gallery!? (My favourite)

Just ppl dislike being forced to do anything I think

I think what this shows is that most people aren't actually anti-vax, they're just extremely obstinate about being asked to do anything even slightly inconvenient when they don't see an immediate benefit for themselves

PETITION UPDATE! Thank you for all your support thus far! Negotiations with the landlord have resumed & are now feeling more positive that we will be able to get a lease without a break clause. There is still a long road ahead. Read the statement from Managing Director Ben Freedman in the images.
