Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

This is disgraceful.
Bright HR discriminated against a woman for daring to have a baby and take maternity leave basically:

I really wish people would acknowledge how you write your name.
To not do so is really poor form.
If a name has a capital letter in the middle, it is there for a reason.
Thanks Katie White MP for the reply on official paper but my name is FitzGerald so I dunno who this is for.

Lovely free florals from work to enjoy.

The Phoenician Scheme; Wes Anderson back to ludicrous capers & outrageous yet reserved characters.
A ridiculously enjoyable fight near the end.
Aesthetically pleasing as always.
How Michael Cera hasn’t been in the ensemble before after this performance seems almost criminal.

The #Eurovision sneak peek of the performances are quite disappointing.
It is only rehearsals so maybe they’re just blocking cameras and dance moves so not giving the full fantasy but it’s making them all look bad.
Maybe don’t share the audio / moving visuals. The stills suffice.

The #WinterFuel cut was a mistake. Even cabinet ministers admit it. U-turns aren’t weak - they’re a sign of leadership and listening. Sign the petition demanding the Government reverse the cuts and protect pensioners this winter 👉 38d.gs/zr3e

Reverse Winter Fuel Allowance cuts

I just signed the petition calling on the Government to reverse their disastrous decision to cut winter fuel allowance. Will you join me?

So @leedscitycouncil.bsky.social why has a letter been delivered today 22/04/25 stating bin collections are to change stating the first collecting was 21/04/25?
Yesterday.
We’ve all had a missed bin collection.
Why is this notification so delayed?
Are you going to come collect what was missed?

😞 about the COJ ruling for Trans women 💔
Also notice how they have specified female and not male definition.
So is a trans man still recognised as a man with his gender recognition certificate?

It will command your whole attention in its assault of your senses.
Also it was very good and I enjoyed it but I am now disturbed.

Kubrick parts to it; carpet corridor and🩸definitely a few other directors influence in there as well.
Absurd, disgusting, unrelenting, sexual but not in a male gaze ‘sexy’ way more so the awareness of that gaze etc.

I went to see #TheSubstance last night.
I don’t really have words…
It was very visceral.
Violent.
Art house.
I didn’t eat any of the sweets I brought.
It truly needs to be watched to be comprehended and even then. WTF did I just watch!?

Having played the Gwendolen to a Cecily at their first meeting myself for a drama lesson on scene work back in the day I thoroughly took amusement in the colour their words took.
If you have a chance to see the NTL of my Birthday twin’s great comedic play do!

🍁🍂Emmylou🍂🍁 @elfiekawaii.bsky.social · Feb 20

Brilliant! Gay! Flamboyant!
What a wondrous production.
I’d have thoroughly enjoyed being lucky enough to see it in person.
The performances are acerbic; I loved the nuances they produced and the costumes were rather sumptuous.

Thoroughly enjoyable seeing Buster Keaton in The General 99yrs after release at Cottage Road Cinema which probably showed it when it was brand new in 1926! Being 113yr old itself.
Excellent piano accompaniment by James Browne.
We had the short The Paleface (1922) as an amuse bouche.

A Real Pain was anything but.
Though the subject matter surrounds the brutality of Holocaust in this tourism stop around Poland there’s a lighter, perhaps more human approach which made it seem almost uplifting whilst still tackling the magnitude.
Kieran Culkin is so watchable.

Fear seeping performances where characters were frozen in their emotion; I could hear breath become more audible in the screen it permeated so.
The haunting lingered well after. A subconscious unease felt afterwards at truly being scared in an unknowing way added to the enjoyment.

Eerily beautiful dreamlike black and white moments.
Framing and transitions harking to silent cinema and old horror.
The shadow work was masterful and added to the beauty of the unsettling gothic nature.
The film featured some gorgeously lit cheekbones, wonderful costumes.
