There is a new bar in New Cross where all pints are £2.50. Have been there twice in the past week and there's barely a soul in the place, despite the offer being advertised. Maybe everyone else thought it had to be an organ-harvesting scam.

Now that Marias and Kadare are gone, I think Olga Tokarczuk is my favourite living author. Her new one is a mash-up of The Magic Mountain and The Wicker Man, and definitely did not disappoint.

A Real Pain, aka The Trip to Poland: what a treat to see the brilliant Kieran Culkin do his thing in a feature film. Heavy themes given a light touch, it is wistful, funny and sad.

Found this hawk trapped on the outside of our building at work. Opened the cage to help it escape and it promptly killed and ate a pigeon. Perhaps a metaphor.

Labour's rivers policy is unbelievable. 1. Steve Reed, the Environment Secretary, has decided our rivers are insufficiently polluted with chicken shit, so he’s loosening the rules. Never mind that it's the primary cause of rivercide in the Welsh border region. www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧵
Labour’s agriculture plans will increase chicken waste in rivers, say campaigners
Steve Reed says planning rules ‘have got in the way’ of farmers and apologises for ‘shock’ of inheritance tax change

everyone else: Nosferatu was bad because the story is too familiar, the characters are 2D bourgeois cutouts, it doesn't transport you

In an unusually early 2000s move, we went to a warehouse party in Shoreditch last night and saw some new bands. We were the only people without baseball caps, moustaches, or football scarves that turn out not to be for any football team.
