Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Just found this from 2013: Sarah McIntyre’s sunday newspaper strip SHARK & UNICORN. An angry man told her “that does not look like a unicorn! That’s a fat pig!” So I rewrote it.
She liked it.
It has an extra edge now.

I drifted into sleep an hour or so into Cronenberg’s NAKED LUNCH at the Ritzy in Brixton. I woke up several minutes later and everyone else in my row—about eight people—were all soundly asleep!

I treasure this memory :)
I've definitely been at films people slept through, had to nudge them when they started snoring!

Lambeth Bridge and Horseferry Road is officially no longer the most dangerous junction for cycle deaths in the UK. No more palm tree. The pedestrian on the sign looks like they don’t quite trust this yet.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty.

But beware...

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

The women who actually use Kenwood Ladies Pond spoke clearly: the 900 members democratically voted to maintain their trans+ inclusive policy, in place since 2019. 🏊‍♀️

Do Ho Suh
Nest/s 2024
Made using traditional Korean sewing techniques.

Spaces between rooms from buildings in Seoul, New York, London and Berlin. Suh’s ‘fabric architectures’ let him pack up and transport spaces, fulfilling his desire to ‘fit my childhood home into a suitcase’.

Resin

Suh's childhood hanok home in Seoul inside a 19th-century house in Providence, USA.

Recreation from a dream where Suh's childhood home flew over the sea and crashed into the Providence building he lived in as a student.

I was very taken with this sculpture, seen in a textbook from 1972 and then I read the caption :/
