Hi there, This November, I’m swimming for Dementia UK – a cause close to my heart. Just £10 could pay for the telephone costs of two families calling its free Dementia Helpline, so any support ...

Remember now, on the drive to work you MUST sing at the top of your voice and you are not to give a single fuck about what others might think about it

The contact of Reform UK’s Russian puppet Nathan Gill is linked to efforts to destabilise the US and Ukraine. Why, even now, is no one asking questions?

Gill, former leader in Wales of Nigel Farage's party, admits taking bribes to help Putin. And his Russian connection - the Ukrainian politician Oleh Voloshyn - in turn has links to a key figure wante...

This is the man the BBC elevated & is refusing to investigate despite @carolecadwalla.bsky.social l & @bylinetimes.bsky.social
having done all the work for them .
Do we have a precedent for a this ? A national broadcaster ignoring possible treason , isn’t that in itself sort of treasonous 🥴 ?

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 3d

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

This is fantastic mate. Will share in a bit. Random bit of info, one of the lads I support likes random insults when he’s off baseline (“you smell like a Japanese horse” being a personal fave) and one of his regular “insults” is “you bloody Duran Duran fan”🤣.

Great album

Simon Tucker @situcker.bsky.social · 1d

I just think that due to its mix of Blues, Jazz and R&R it perfectly sums up everything that the States have us

Simon Tucker @situcker.bsky.social · 1d

The greatest American album ever made

As someone who knew him for a while, and who was disgusted by what he did, I say oh well, how sad, nevermind. I just feel sorry for the victims who have this all trudged up again and his ex bandmates

“Best regards”

A letter from STANLEY KUBRICK
August 27, 1970
James T. Aubrey, Jr.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer
245N Beverly Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Dear James,
It has come to my attention that you and your
studio are considering producing a sequel to "2001:
A Space Odyssey" over my objections. My attorney informs me that you hold the option and, legally. there is little I can do to stop you.
However, I'd like you to know that I own the tapir bone prop from 2001 - the one "Moonwatcher" throws into the sky. If you attempt to make a sequel, I will cram that temur up your ass so far, it will take an as yet undiscovered alien super-intelligence to figure out how to dislodge it. Seriously, don't fuck with me.
Best regards,
Stanley Kubrick

Sharing obvious AI videos and refusing to delete (and turning off replies) is not helping anyone

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

My 18yo just released her first single five minutes ago! Give it a listen. She’s good.

Oh and please like and share (even if you don’t like it!) Thanks a million.
