You've got a way with last lines, Paul - another zinger.
‘Satie’s three piano pieces changed the harmonic vocabulary of 20th-century music. The major seventh chord became ubiquitous, first in jazz, then in pop music. Repetition, rather than development, became the guiding principle of composition.’ @jonathancoe.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
that needs to happen.
I was thinking 'seamster' would be a good twin term and to maintain 'seamstress' (or else just call everyone one or the other)
Its just so unfortunate the word is 'sewer'
Maintaining.their assets!
But what about my own blossoming fringe Kyla!?
'I lost my job because of this' would be an overstatement, but it did take me a while to come up with that
Hard to overstate how much no one cared about this
This person should be found and imprisoned
Stupidly proud of having stumbled on this much instagrammed house by mistake I should probably be ashamed of involving myself but look! Its real.
We're screwed - we're choosing darkness
The only parallel i can see is that they both married warmhearted, dignified women called Raisa who dedicated their lives to fighting childhood cancer. And even that is really only true of Gorbachev.
Just had to spend so much money on an emergency locksmith that i'm just going to pretend it didn't happen. I'm going to convince myself i always had this much less money than i had an hour ago. I can only handle it if it isn't because I put the wrong identical bronze key in the lock for 0.5s
Judging by the relatively high number of eco-conscious bourgeois-to-radical leftists i know who are now anti-vax this is a memo progressives needed a long time ago. Its a pity none of us did science at college.
Every so often the word 'poolboy' appears in a headline from america and you know you're reading about an evangelical pastor who strongly expounds traditional values
I'd love the good news to be democrat leaders speaking out with one clear voice against america's slide into fascism but what would i know
Arguably this is a description of the aesthetics of totalitarianism more widely which tend towards kitsch. Interesting how extreme capitalist aesthetics (The Apprentice, Trump Tower) have produced a form of socialist realism as a byproduct
I will die because i remember to put sunscreen on in the morning but never to reapply it. Who are the aristocrats of self care who remember this?
30 years on and off of that bastard!?
We were always going to end up doing what we did to the rest of the world to ourselves. America is in the same process. Violence finds its way home.
BBC rolling out the (blood) red carpet again.
It was elliptical. Like the orinoko flow(probably)
Oh i havent watched it, i just mean she never leaves her empty house
Look if she is ever racist it is only to a wall. Not minimising it except i am slightly in the sense that it her unacceptable sentiments will be expressed only to a wall or dog. And which of us can say that?
What happened to carelessly handsome men? I miss them. We only get carefully handsome now
Hereditary is one of my favourite movie-viewing memories. For the last 10 minutes, my face was hovering about 3 inches from the laptop, I may have also been dribbling. Now Ari Aster heads to the desert for a Western yarn. Let's go!!!! #filmclubofone #ariaster #filmreview

If you're free tomorrow, please join us in Westhill for this community event from 5-7pm. We'll have some food, art supplies, music, and we'll hear from people who have been helped by the residents. If you'd like to come there are regular buses or contact me and I'll put you in the lift pool.
Clever awful men, such a rarity in literature, probably yes
She called for people locked in rooms to be burned alive
nothing on this app has made me laugh more than this fsr
Just as the international coalition behind Israel is beginning to fracture, Starmer cracks down on anti-Israeli protests. Morally horrific and politically stupid - fast becoming his brand
I mean no disrespect to the great man but I fear it is more of a squiggly line
My best and biggest millennial pause ever here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaAs...

You only need one - even a dry plain is basically a frantic little copse to them - its the root system
Yes, but trees are dreadful gossips and basically use email
The Telegraph must be doing it deliberately now, right?
Briefly watched zelensky having to suck up to those bastards, now retiring again to a news free world where i can stay partly sane
Implement the UK law on ... a citizen of the RoI? How very British of Sir Keir.

God that ending. Shocking and affecting.
Is it partly our odd relationship to our past? Most European ex empires just buried all awareness of the whole era and act like liberal democracy launders it all. We cling to some corrupted stub of pride in it which creates forms of monstrous nostalgia, kitsch myths people passionately defend.
Many such cases....
The boy with the striped pyjamas was one of the most morally and aesthetically embarrassing books i have ever read. The pathway is always lined with glowing red flags but somehow also a red carpet
the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
I have oddly never got into them but this has been the gateway drug. They sound like scott walker's (more) neurasthenic cousin!
The irreversible disaster will all happen in plain sight apparently.
Its funny because i saw it last night and as a result heard this song for the first time. (You are correct...)
The 5 1/2 Weeks tour... i would have killed for a.ticket at 18!!
Did you just see Late Shift as well? (This plays over the final two minutes)
One man and his bookshelf take on the hideous movements in Zach Cregger's, WEAPONS: Will they too run into the darkness at 2:17????? #filmreview #weapons #horrorfilms
Bad being a relative term depending not on what happens but to whom
Something BAD has happened
Grenfell happens and our society briefly puts a hand to its mouth and says 'oh dear, how awful' then just moves along. But come for private school VAT exemption and the courts need to be involved
Imagine if something actually bad ever happened to the people defending private schools. We would be in a nuclear civil war www.theguardian.com/education/20...

She chose evidence based reporting for a fair minded centrist network dedicated to moderate critiques of the status quo
The steady moral and intellectual clarity of Hannah, DW's Rebecca Ritters, balances the Neighbours universe.
Yes but islamophobia seems to be a common thread here - the far right now uses its language constantly because politicians have lent it respectability (and are treating palestinian lives accordingly)
Remember when we all used to clap every night to thank doctors, nurses, scientists, and public health workers for saving lives? Thanks to disinformation, people in these professions are now frequently threatened and attacked. There is no way society can keep functioning like this.
Hope!
Surrey!!??
The only aspect of this i object to is the term 'fiction novels' I feel like I've heard it elsewhere Let's agree it never happened

I mean Sidney Sweeney's initials are SS. The clues were there
‘In making Palestine Action a proscribed terrorist organisation, the government has added it to a list that includes al-Qaida, the UDA and the neo-Nazi Atomwaffen Division, all of which advocate terror and murder to achieve political ends.’ Huw Lemmey: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
Great thread I see what i feel sure is ai written journalism from leading and middle ranking publications all the time The incentives are changing.

It has become. Its moral collapse is total. That actually isn't the question. The question is what does the world do?
'Its a great start gerald, sorry gerard, seriously, love how much feeling there is here, but now's the time to really hone in on the words we do and don't need'

Come on alanis!!!
Alanis morissette with @samfr.bsky.social We last saw her at 18 Some short time back.....
True!!
Honestly how could anyone have believed this!? Ok photography was relatively new but perspective wasnt. Or paint www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
imagine telling the columnists who wanted to send in the army on some inner-London kids in 2011 that fifteen years on they'd actually be pro-riots
This spider sculpture inspired this poem from Medea in Corinth. Medea prays to Hecate, who transforms into a spider to weave a poisoned wedding dress for her love rival thehighwindowpress.com/2018/12/10/t...
She's back! #maman #louisebourgeois
The traits that protect against conspiratorial thinking and extremism interest me - there's no clear correlation with the rest of your behaviour eg in private life.
Frank O'Hara, who died #OTD in 1966. “In times of crisis, we must all decide again and again whom we love.”
A great director whose work has been unjustly swallowed up by the shadow of marvel nolan et al the last fifteen years
'Why rush? You're the only person who really exists,' i just said to someone, confirming i am assuming my final form.
I have no idea. I think starmer is actually very clumsy when it comes to appealing to racists. Instead of a dogwhistle he sounds like he's barking in their face and pretending to wag an imaginary tail. But he does seem determined to keep going.
So inspiring of Labour to reach out to the 'what if my deliveroo driver is an asylum seeker?' voter. If that is our national median we should honestly just vanish into the sea.
🤮
I wish she'd been there too!
Night bird
Every so often someone must wake up and realize that they voted to make a pedophile rapist the most powerful person in the world and he is using that power to steal everything he can and crush every decent person who opposes him. Maybe that’s just too hard to accept so they pretend not to understand
Second half slightly growing on me in retrospect - felt like it broke open the play to find something new (eg you really can feel the presence of the hades myth in the sheep shearing scenes) But is that just because im thinking about the idea of it and not actually having to watch it
Yes
Rsc winters tale good, though sadly in the 2nd half they decided to do the sheep shearing scene as a gothic horror, suspiria meets the wicker man, perdita dancing around a fire while tattooed orientalised cultists wailed to the devil, which slightly undermined the transcendent dignity of the end
❤️
If it had been a Ukrainian flag they wouldn't say it 'breaks our commitment to political impartiality.' It isn't a partisan 'statement' to protest the mass murder of civilians. That claim is itself partisan and actually DOES break the 'rule.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
A woman wore a dress 16 years ago — when she was a teenager — so she’s not entitled to political principles that The Times dislikes.
