I am here to discuss music, literature, and condemn the appalling genocide in #Gaza. I have no interest in publicly engaging with people I cut off contact with years ago. In the words of Brian May: "In the quiet of the night
Let our candle always burn
Let us never lose
The lessons we have learned."

No one comes out of this interview looking great - but I think it's an important guide to the colours of transphobia.
"Just a bit transphobic" like the interviewer
"Middle class activist transphobia" like Sarah Ditum
"All consuming obsession" like Graham Linehan

I didn't note the King Charles comparison until @donaldclarke.bsky.social pointed it out. It might be Brosnan's best acting in years.

Superb interview. I cannot wait to watch Hamnet.
One of the best films of the year, perhaps the best, Hamnet opens in limited release today. I spoke to a very philosophical Chloe Zhao about navigating personal grief in the film and holding a mirror to an audience. And much more... #Oscars

‘Hamnet’s’ Chloe Zhao: “It’s Not My Job To Tell People How They Should Feel”
There is a break in the rain in Los Angeles. The sun is trying to peak through the windows of Chloe Zhao‘s home as the Oscar winner sits down for a Zoom interview to discuss her acclaimed new film “Hamnet.” And, on this day, Zhao is in a deeply philosophical mind space. We’re not mad at it.

Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel, “Hamnet” imagines the lives of William and Agnes Shakespeare and their three children in the English countryside.
