In my day (ten thousand years ago) kids would regularly go out to the pictures. Now there's only one big cinema that's away from where most people actually live. Sure this doesn't help.
Kids can't hang out in parks. They can't hang out at the mall. They don't have 3rd spaces because no one wants kids around and then we are surprised when they rely on SM for connection.
If you take that away, what do they have left?

theory: we can get the mainstream press to write in the active voice if we frame all violence as a form of cancel culture. e.g., "the police canceled him 6 times in the chest and canceled him twice more in the head"

Saw Suede in Portsmouth last night. Hugely impressed. New material sounding immense live - including brand new song Tribe.

At this rate he'll be reduced to remaining uncharged and unarrested in an even slightly smaller picturesque Royal lodge that he doesn't have to pay for

Whoa, click through to download the famed 2003 “Directors Label” DVD collections of music videos by the masters (Gondry, Romanek, Jonze, Corbijn, Cunningham, etc) with commentary & extras, seemingly uploaded by Directors Label for the 20th anniversary. Incredible resource!

I think a useful response to the political plans of well-funded fascists is not "how ridiculous, they could never achieve those laughably cruel aims" but instead "they mean what they say, they are going to kill a lot of people before they are stopped, how about we make sure they don't get to try".

Because we're on a big 28 Years Later thing we rewatched 28 Days Later and went on to realise a key filming location was actually not very far away. Seemed daft not to visit!
