Cannot recommend #LastSeen highly enough (Apple tv). It keeps you guessing every episode and the acting/writing is top notch across the board.

I was unfamiliar with Bel Odenyo's music before watching #Bel on BBC4 / iPlayer. It's a beautiful tribute celebrating the late Scottish-Kenyan singer-songwriter and her talent, but not diminishing her struggles. Her family has done her proud.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

The whole series of 7Up is a magnificent feat. Genuinely, an iconic landmark of television. 70Up is phenomenal.

Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.

This is a great charity to support in honour of Dolly ❤️

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dolly Parton. Dolly was a remarkable champion for children's reading, dedicated to helping more children access books and experience the joy of stories.

If you desperately need to do a half time thing (ugh....why) just get BTS to do the whole thing. The rest is kinda pointless tbh #WorldCupFinal #HalfTime

In honour of Sam Neill (who seemed to be the nicest guy to work with), I'd recommend 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople'. It's charming, a little odd, and the cast is top across the board.

Very sad news. His direction and work in comedy probably defined a lot of our youth.

Maybe Nate Bargatze could attend this as well? Yeh, thought not.

Michelle Obama: You were doing the people's work, rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize.

Man, this is really disappointing

"Nate Bargatze can support Trump. Nate Bargatze can attend Trump’s White House UFC party. Nate Bargatze can pose for photos with political figures. What Nate Bargatze can’t do is all of those things and then pull the ‘I’m not political’ card like we’re all f—king idiots.” parade.com/entertainmen...

Pretty shoddy behaviour, Keir

BladeoftheSun@bladeofthes.bsky.social

Keir Starmer announcing AI tutors for schoolchildren, and AI Jobseekers tools that will write CVs, How many millions/billions are we spending on this trash when we could actually be hiring more teachers and creating jobs to get the job done properly?

About #TipToe. Firstly, the stunt work in the final ep is astonishing. Secondly, I'm not sure how David Morrissey tapped into that performance but he is one of the best British actors we have (see: The State of Play).

If ever a performance deserved a standing ovation, it's this one

Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social

One of the greatest Kennedy Center Honors performances ever: Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart, Jason Bonham on drums, and Shane Fontayne on electric guitar. It moved Robert Plant to tears as he watched alongside Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. (Edited for format)

Finished Long Island Compromise a couple of weeks ago and it's still on my mind. It's a tough read but worth it #booksky

The prediction of a Reform government shows what this country has become due to our nasty spiteful media class who have allowed the far right to thrive - today will be 35 degrees and our next government could very well be one of climate change deniers , robber barons and asset strippers

Maybe obvious to many but I think left isn't left enough, and right isn't right enough, so the divide is getting wider and people *still* blame their struggles on their neighbours.

Russ Jones@russincheshire.bsky.social

Labour losing votes to Greens, Tories to Reform. The left / right split remains. The big story is loss of faith in trad parties. It's an inevitable consequence of nearly 20 years of austerity. The economy doesn't work for most of us. GDP means nothing if 90% of growth goes to the richest 10%

Watching Law and Order SVU and the quality of child acting is incredible. There are some stupidly talented kids on that show.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Went to an early morning screening of Devil Wears Prada 2 and came away thinking that Justin Theroux's manager works very hard, and BJ Novak should probably hire him.
