JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics

It's good that there's a high-falutin art-house streaming service called Mubi and then also an absolute dogshit trash streamer called Tubi and that I've only ever had one of them installed on my phone.

If you're into this can I also recommend @bleedingskull.bsky.social's Phantasmatapes, a video mashup of two creaky old b-movies into a woozy late night local TV broadcast with vintage ads, a mesmerising synth score and some other surprises.
hey look I’m in @stephentotilo.bsky.social’s Game File with a review of Blippo+, one of my favorite games of the year that’s not really a game, more like channel surfing TV from another planet. It rules

I was going to put the shot of Ian Curtis hanging himself in 24 Hour Party People but my kid has just put Xmas songs on and it felt wrong.

“You want your fries to be ’large’, child? My uncle died after being hit by a ‘large’ truck. The scales fell from my eyes that day! Yes, the toy is included with the meal.”
There are some truly unhinged bits in the piece about Glasman, as to be expected when dealing with Glasman, but seriously what the actual? That's...one hell of a conflation of terminology.

Kid chose a book to read at the library today and it was about a family who were having a 'different' Xmas which involved volunteering at a food bank delivering parcels to people and I'm sure it's meant to be heart warming but it felt incredibly bleak to me.

If I had a 400 seat majority in the UK parliament I would not use it to do fascism. I would use it to actually help the British people by regaining control of Tomb Raider.

"we've come too far to give up who we are" is a classic example of sunk cost fallacy and typical of the woolly thinking we've come to expect from Pharrell Williams and also his French collaborators...
