ALBUMS OF 2026 THREAD
Always try to listen to 40-50 new albums a year, gonna be trickier this year cause none of my big favourites have releases scheduled.

What a classic thing to hear from a guy whose filmmaking style is unintuitively pasting a bunch of shit together like a teenager rushing to finish an art project

If enough of us pool our money, we can pay Éanna Hardwicke to follow Martin around and say “ya useless fucking cunt” in character as Roy Keane at regular intervals until he internalises it and removes his sneery head from public life in shame
The exchange between the Taoiseach and the Sinn Féin leader prompted Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy to appeal for a "respectful" debate, given that the visitors' gallery was full.

Another media darling and insider coming out with the nastiest laziest “joke” he can make about a mass shooting of kids.

Look sorry but if you take all the pedophilia and Mossad links out of the equation Jeffrey Epstein's emails suggest he is a stupid cunt who is a terrible hang and these diplomats are like "you sir are my FAVOURITE man in the whole wide world". That plane MUST have had a Soda Stream or something.

“Shoot for Mars. Even if you miss, you may explode in disgrace in the general vicinity of the Moon ❤️❤️❤️”
Elon Musk's ambition to one day settle Mars appears to have taken a back seat for a rather nearer and more achievable goal – sending humans to live on the moon. https://cnn.it/46sbAMm

Early reviews for “Wuthering Heights” are in and sounds like I was right on the money
I don’t consider Emerald Fennell either a fresh and interesting filmmaker or a menace to cinema. She is an exceptional visual stylist whose films don’t “provoke” so much as they flick you in the ear and run away giggling at how funny they are like an annoying teenager
Watch the teaser trailer for Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi 🥀

The government says the people being deported are violent criminals, and they treat them inhumanely. But mostly they are subjecting ordinary people to extraordinary punishments.

A reminder that the SuperBowl and professional sports in general are vehicles for resistance but are rife with abusers like this. This psycho chased down his ex, who’s a prominent professional athlete herself, and intentionally crashed his car into hers. And in 6 months will likely be back playing
Atlanta Falcons rookie star James Pearce Jr. was arrested near Miami on Saturday night after fleeing officers and then crashing his car following what police said was a domestic dispute with WNBA player Rickea Jackson.

Maneskin’s Winter Olympics Halftime Show has been postponed indefinitely due to an investigation discovering that we are not at the halfway point. Also the guitarist has lost two fingers to frostbite while the lead singer, suffering from paradoxical undressing, has run off into the Alps in the nip

Me seeing post-Super Bowl praise for Green Day:

In retrospect it wasn’t my best move to respond to my mother’s “what are you seeing in the cinema this weekend” text with just the words “Send Help” without explaining that’s the name of the film. As she informed me in the immediate subsequent panicked phone call

House in our estate puts out flags for 6Nations games so Italy, Scotland, England & Wales ones out today and it’s hard to express how much less respect I have for someone who doesn’t put up a George’s Cross for nationalistic reasons but to act as some kind of middle class semaphore teletext
