30s. BTS ARMY since 2015, Dan and Phil, Carter Vail, Freddie Mercury, Shoot From The Hip. Bogshed/Bog-Shed (even I don’t know) occasionally because of my uncle. Also sometimes politics and personal stuff. Frankly, none of you will be happy.

Via Press Gazette: "The Daily Star’s livestream of the Liz Truss lettuce has been acquired by the British Film Institute’s National Archive for a collection of significant pieces of online video. The BFI’s curator said it was “a seminal moment in British political history”"

Hadn’t seen these before, from the third national lockdown. Excellent work by the Prince Charles and the Screen On The Green.

The front of the Prince Charles Cinema, its hoarding reading MAMMA MIA HERE WE GO AGAIN.

The front of the Screen On The Green with three Saul Bass-style posters below the hoarding reading WORST TRILOGY EVER.

Yes! BTSChartData is actually currently going viral on X because he has developed an absolutely incredible website for ARMYs, which has helped BTS gain tens of thousands of streams.
The site features daily streaming challenges where fans can collect virtual photocards.

Maybe MTV didn’t ban it for the drag, they just thought it was antisocial

Not really the point but why is Freddie hoovering first thing in the morning in the I Want To Break Free video? I’d be so annoyed if I was a neighbour

“If you’re angry about THIS, but not about THAT—“

Bro I’m gonna have to stop you there, I am angry about so many things all of the time, I have never in my life been angry about just one thing at a time, my capacity for “things to be angry about” is as wide and as deep as the sea

Tbh my flat itself is fine. Just very small and I hate that my front door is also my bedroom door. It’s weird being in bed and hearing people walk past in the hall a few feet away. But it looks pretty nice and everything works (apart from the internet right when it rains I guess lol)

L⁷ @7stargalaxy.bsky.social · 1d

I wish I wasn’t going to be living here until summer 2027 but at least I’ve got somewhere I guess. Hopefully by then I’ll have a job and a lot more options rather than shitty ‘students and professionals’ type places.

The internet keeps going out in my building when it rains a lot. The keypad for the main front door and some of the lights in the hall seemed to have stopped working as well.

no, going to the video store in 2000 was great. colors were so much brighter, sounds were clearer, my knees didn't hurt ... wait a second.

Boo!-per Lund @cooperlund.online · 2d

Someone doesn’t remember how badly going to a video store sucked, and just generally how much worse things were in the 90s-2000s. Oh, it doesn’t work perfectly? Sometimes they just didn’t have the thing you wanted. We live in an era of unprecedented media abundance and it’s has spoiled us rotten.

It's very trendy for the woke left to mock the police these days, but this is the kind of thing that you and I might miss.

BBC report that police are focussing on a 'ladder placed against the side of the Louvre' while investigation a recent theft from the art gallery.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

Marge Simpson (now canonically born in 1995 but with a voice like wind through a mausoleum): oh wow, IShowSpeed, the American YouTuber and online streamer

lydelle buster @babyshoes4cash.com · 2d

simpsons added a few kids to springfield who are born this century and it makes sense for a lot of reasons but also i cant help but think 'Bart is thirty years older than that other kid'

still from The Simpsons Season 37 Episode 2 - two yellow kids are in a server room. one (kid with blue hair buzzed on the sides and wearing an orange and black cardigan) has a blank, surprised expression, and the other (the famous bart simpson) looks at him with mild contempt

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am
