If Tom Cruise gets an Oscar nomination for DIGGER, I hope the clip they use is the scene from COYOTE VS. ACME where Foghorn Leghorn testifies to congress. Cruise gives the exact same performance, and almost exactly the same speech, but in COYOTE VS. ACME it hits 100x harder.

The Wilkins coffee ads, as referenced in the fourth photo, are some of the finest surrealistic, slapstick art ever created. I'm dead series. Just stream of consciousness mayhem and child friendly violence. Laugh out loud funny too. And yes, they are just adverts for Wilkins coffee.

I've just seen an advert for a job as a video editor working for an AI adjacent company in the private healthcare sector. Not a PAID job. A volunteer position. For free. Gratis. Do they think they are charities now?

I can attest to this. As an editor who lives alone, I always use professional grade headphones when I watch films. The audio quality on them makes movies sound a lot better than the average multiplex experience. For example, I can actually hear the dialogue in a Nolan film at home with phones!

The other day, I was in the queue at Boots. Looking up I could see myself and everyone else lining up to pay for our medicines on a large TV hanging over the counter, that was showing the feed from the security camera. All of us had a blue square tracking our faces. A target on every one of us.

Currently working on my non film industry CV so I can get a job stacking shelves or something. I've worked as a freelance creative since 2004, so I'm having to learn how to speak modern neurotypical as I haven't lived in their world for decades. Feels like I'm murdering a bit of my soul doing this.

Overwhelmed with nostalgia for Lovefilm. 5 DVDs at a time, watch them, send them back and the'd send you 5 more. I'd burn through 20 films in a month, easily. The 2010s were a good time for film, in so many ways. I miss that time. There was so much promise to our future, despite everything.

Being loud and angry works. Once again, never let the fuckers tell you anything different. While this is no guarantee of any kind of justice, given that the authorities wanted to sweep this under the carpet, it is a good first step in the right direction.

They exist to serve a corrupt hierarchy that marches in step with the Epstein class. They exist to give the millions screaming for change a glimmer of false hope. They are a insincere opposition to the Tory hegemony. They are all part of the establishment's plan.

I remember her joy and glee on the night the Corbyn led Labour party lost the 2019 election. Absolutely convinced that this version of the Labour party only exists to stop actual change in this country. They are a buffer, a check against the left. Losing elections badly is the point.

Walked a mile to my parents house, changed a few light bulbs, fixed their phone, walked back. Dripping with sweat, even though it's a mild out. Absolutely exhausted. Just slept for two hours but I still feel feeble. Can barely stand up. Two years ago this wouldn't have even put me out of breath.

This notion of bigoted beliefs being a protected characteristic like gender or race is just absolutely barmy. Those of us who’ve experienced genuine discrimination for who we are know there’s no comparison, and the political and legal collusion on this stuff is disastrous.

I just want to emphasise that women see and appreciate these interventions. We do know that you are endangering yourselves. We know that the men who harass and grope and rape us feel entitled to our bodies, and that a "less manly" man suggesting otherwise triggers fury and violence.
