WILLIAMS: I’ve been very clear about what happened with the plums. As soon as I realised my error, I fronted up
CHOTINER: But you knew they were probably being saved for breakfast?
W: Yes.
C: Of course, you’d been close to starving
W: I had.
C: Strange then that you focus on their deliciousness

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Haven’t baked as many chicken pies as I would have liked to this year, but at least today’s LOTR-themed creation (made to coincide with our New Year’s Eve watching) is one of my all-time best.

Absolutely thrilled to be publishing such a wonderful essay from Robert. Bringing back long-form pieces on Animus has been a highlight of my year.
🎬 NEW LONG-FORM ESSAY 🎬
As queer rights are under threat and queer representation in commercial cinema in retreat, looking back at the careers of queer directors from Code-era Hollywood can be more than a chance to revisit great films. By Robert Stinner: animus-magazine.ghost.io/queer-auteur...

Queer Auteurism under Censorship: On George Cukor and Mitchell Leisen
Navigating Code-era censorship in contrasting ways, both of these directors created bodies of work that were undeniably, vibrantly queer.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Even if you're not someone who spends a lot of time in cinemas trying not to lose it whenever someone's wrist suddenly lights up during a movie, the smart watch is an awful invention, and it's obviously helped normalise meta glasses which beautiful women worldwide must destroy with their bare hands.
