It's alright. A dark, serious film. Of its time but also relevant to now with what is going on politically.

just seen the John Hurt speech that the Manics used on "Faster". Which is followed by a very hairy muff, just to lighten the mood I guess

Watching 1984 for the first time and am quite impressed that Richard Burton is in the same cast list as Rab C Nesbitt and Trigger from Only Fools and Horses.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

The thing that bothers me most is the hem drags on the floor, through anything that might be on the ground 🤢

I know this is the equivalent of me in 1995 wearing 1975-style clothing, but 1975 was objectively better than 2005. I've told him he looks like a twat.

My teenage son has started wearing 2005-style baggy jeans and it is very upsetting.
