Oh this is sad. And somehow so surprising - she didn’t seem like the kind of person who would die. Too young & healthy seeming, however old she was

"She is the dream actress that every director should have." —Gillian Armstrong

Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Black and white shot of Diane Keaton in a tank top with her hands behind her head. I like this photo for its simplicity; you can feel her personality.

And it’s so long since anyone under 65 or so had a booster & there have been so many variants since then

It’s dispiriting that this is what getting a COVID vaccination now looks like to this chronic asthmatic.

These costumes are such a good idea because ICE don’t care about images of them assaulting a vulnerable woman, it excites them - but no one wants to be filmed beating up a giant frog, that’s just ridiculous

Even as a small child this struck me as unlikely. Where are all these goat rendering factories? What industry is producing all this goat fat as a byproduct?And Facebook didn’t even exist then so this was just people telling each other mad shit in person

What did your mother tell you ice cream van ice cream was made with, according to some mad mum rumour she’d heard? Mine said goat fat, my partner’s mum told him cow’s blood plasma

Can’t believe the Irish tried a version of UBI, found it worked, and decided to keep it rather than commission another study.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
