I've been evangelising about Such Brave Girls for quite a while now. And I'm not about to stop.
How crushing to be admonished by my own daughter, who said (through tears), 'We have to be kind on this planet, Daddy!' 💔

Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

Dh'innis dhomh triùir eile gu bheil iad tinn an-diugh. Dè tha a' tachairt, a chàirdean? A bheil duine sam bith air fhaghail?
Ged nach b' àbhaist dhomh obair tro deireadh na seachdaine tuilleadh, bidh mi ag obair a-màireach, fad an latha, bho ochd gu ochd. Tha a h-uile mac màthar tinn an-dràsta fhèin.

I'm aware that Zack Polanski is not perfect. He is not my idol.
I support the Greens because their policies are less likely to kill people.

Really upset to hear about the death of Martin Parr. I only became familiar with his photograph and documentaries in the last few months. A gifted bloke taken way too soon.

What a horrific human being she is.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

Nise, tha sinn a' coimhead an dàrna sreath. Rinn sinn ardhatas beag air bheag. Ma tha clann agad, chan fhaod thu tòrr a ghabhail ach uair a thìde gach latha.

I watched this pish at the cinema when it came out. Never again. Nor the sequels.
Toy Story changed everything for Pixar. 30 years later, it's clear that what could've been a tech demo has become an endlessly influential cultural juggernaut. From the archives: www.avclub.com/there-s-no-o...
There’s no outgrowing Toy Story
Before Toy Story, Pixar was an experimental tech company without a whole lot to show for its long, chaotic history.

England’s historical past surrounds us. The evidence is everywhere
No more so than the ancient estates & deer parks
What’s missing is a witness that links us to it
And then there they are, hiding in plain sight
