Watching The Addams Family. Films just don't look like this anymore and it sucks. Every single set is sublime, the lens choices where so much is in focus so you can enjoy the details vs modern shit being soft focus CG shite....

Not even discussing the audio or acting 😭

‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder

Where once people were duped by soft-focus photos and borrowed chat-up lines, now they have to watch out for computer-generated charm. But it’s one thing to use a witty phrase – another thing entirely to build a whole fake persona …

um. i don’t think this makes finding love even weirder. i think lying or tricking ppl in to sex is abusive

it’s funny how trans women can be tried and convicted of a sex crime if we have consensual sex with a cis person yet cis ppl can do… whatever this is to each other and it gets a cute write up

It’s great that the Mayor is pushing government to address the impact on people affected by skilled worker visa changes, but he also needs to look at and improve the support TfL offers to these workers caught in an abrupt limbo as the sudden visa system changes kick in.

I disagree people won't vote for the Greens because of it's "social liberalism", people have voted for parties for decades that had certain policies that would be considered socially liberal.

I had the real pleasure of having lunch with Miriam Margolyes today, and as we left the restaurant, an old man started playing Hava Nagila loudly on his phone and calling Miriam a “self hating Jew!” - presumably for her stance on Palestine. It was upsetting but she brushed it off, undeterred
