Think you know what an intimacy coordinator does? I loved filming this discussion, which covered different types of intimacy, practical issues, creativity and storytelling. Intimacy coordination in film and TV with Adelaide Waldrop, Robbie Taylor Hunt, and Alix Austin: youtu.be/AHwItxzpQxk

Lovely for Martin Clunes, at least. I’ll be seeing it for maximalist joy (amongst other reasons) which I think we could do with a lot more of!

Fascism cannot produce art that lives because living art relies on unqualified engagement with an other, a challenge to the self. Fascism can only ever conjure an ever more atrociously gilded mirror reflecting back faces that refuse even the realities of time.

It's not actually a mystery is it? It's a project that despises curiosity, difference, intellectual inquiry, humanity, complexity, difficulty, compassion, soul - and exalts crude and charmless displays of wealth and power. It is tacky, hateful, boorish and stupid - of course it makes shit art lol

To add to the madness of it all, the attack on Venezuela is clearly, above all, an oil grab. But we scarcely need oil any more.

11. PILLION. The horniest, queerest, kinkiest thing I have seen in forever. BDSM as hell but also kooky, warm and so suburban and English. I cannot believe this is a debut feature. So many scenes took my breath away. An instant queer classic, thank god films like this are being made! 5/5 #LIFF2025

The Green Party of England and Wales says it now has more members than the Lib Dems: 83,500 to 83,174 with "hundreds more joining daily". Interestingly, both parties are growing while Reform and the Conservatives are shedding members.

The right (and centre, obvs) is shitting itself over Mamdani because they've found an election they can't fix against the left. They tried everything, he's still winning. So the last desperate thing they're doing is using Sadiq Khan as a cautionary tale coz: both Muslim. Lol. London's great though.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?
