This is what I've been doing with my time recently. Can't remember when I last enjoyed helping to compile a festival retrospective programme so much. These films are subversive, outrageous, WTF & bonkers, a full complement of extraordinary horror & sci-fi classics that deserve to be rediscovered.
EXORCISING FRANCO: SPANISH GENRE CINEMA 1968-1983. This is a FANTASTIC restrospective, featuring not just classics like WHO CAN KILL A CHILD?, LIVING DEAD AT MANCHESTER MORGUE, THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED, CANNIBAL MAN, BLOOD SPATTERED BRIDE, ARREBATO... www.offscreen.be/en/offscreen...

Wow Gregory Peck's laboratory is bigger than I thought ...
This map overlays Germany over northern Brazil. Germany is tiny (1:24 is the ratio and not 7:1 as many Germans might think 😉 ). Source: buff.ly/nDHOKv7

The Second Slow Death of a Naturalist
CoPilot interrupting my web-wandering with this corker:

"If you’d like, I can create an original, Heaney-inspired poem that captures the same spirit of hope meeting history. Would you like me to do that?"

I cannot think of anything that I would like you do less.

Also, and I again, I’m not judging*, but European adults putting Nutella on a pancake should be put on some sort of list.

For people new Bluesky these are agreed rules on #Pancakes.
Only normal pancakes allowed on #PancakeDay
If you have to have American style pancakes you have to call them by their real names Flapjacks, Johnnycakes, Billyflips or Aunt Janey's flappers.
Nutella on pancakes was introduced by Mussolini

I googled that vaxxer woman , the first article to pop up is DM one about her IVF journey. So this is as much about how female hacks are coerced/choose into mining/mine their own trauma for copy. Not defending anyone involved, I'm sort of done with the lot of 'em tbh

I met Jesse Jackson in 2007 at the unveiling of the statue of Nelson Mandela in Parliament Square and thought what a great President he would have made. He paved the way for Barack Obama. May he rest in peace 🙏🏾🙏🏾
