These street dogs never cease to amaze me. I was sure that Birdie was gone. If you need a huge smile today this will sort you out! Unbelievable scenes!

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

Last night, with a packed house, I attended the Academy's US premiere of the impeccable 4K restoration of the Hammer classic Horror of Dracula. Jack Asher's Technicolor cinematography looks fabulous. James Bernard's score sounds even better. If you can find it playing theatrically, go for it!

Delighted to have joined some great writers and contributed my own 'missing episode' of supernatural soap opera Dark Shadows to this anthology, with profits going to Film is Fabulous.

Episode 3 of the Hallowe’en special of Last One Laughing is devastatingly funny that the only way I can think to get over it is to watch it again immediately.

Scotland, too (although the NMI’s Ghost Turnip is in a league of its own). They’re an absolute bastard to carve, requiring multiple stabbings with potato peelers to core out the neep. This is “Hallowe’en”, oil on canvas, c.1911, by William Stewart MacGeorge (1861–1931) artuk.org/discover/art...

It is always very special to see Mr Shaq. Probably the hardest and most dramatic rescue I’ve ever done ❤️

Milk Marketing Board advert shot during production of Hammer’s fusion of Gothic horror and kung-fu, The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires! Principal photography began in Hong Kong on this day in 1973. 🖤

There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

Lest we forget... Claire Fox defended the IRA murdering two young boys in Warrington ("The right of the Irish people to take whatever measures necessary in their struggle for freedom") and has never apologised. Below is a tweet from one of the fathers. #politicslive

Tumble weed across legacy media about ITV's exposé of Reform. Can you imagine the hysteria if an SNP councillor advocated for concentration camps or a Muslim Labour candidate said he wants to shoot MPs he considers traitors? The Mail front pages, Telegraph thinkpieces, and somber Today interviews?

When it opened in 1938, the State was the last word in picture houses: a striking "jazz-modern" monument to the era. Its life as an entertainment venue was an inexorable 80-year decline, finally coming to… https://threadinburgh.scot/2026/10/19/the-state-the-thread-about-leiths-luxury-supercinema/

Elon Musk's radicalisation machine is the main reason why civil war talk is a thing in Britain. Without it, Lowe would be a nonentity: there's no organic demand for Restore's fascism; It's been manufactured, and now "what needs to happen will be incredibly painful" is in the high single digits.

This right here is the power of Elon Musk to completely warp politics without *giving a penny* as a political donation Without X, Lowe would be a no hoper independent MP Instead he’s spreading ethnic cleansing chat to normies. Wild

Oh fuck off

Trump criticising Democrats, "You'll be thrown into a communist system where everybody get's healthcare" My view: In the UK we call it democracy and NHS

"In the west the technology comes with at least some effort to provide security and a benign intent" WTF are you on about, one by one they all bribed Trump to have zero regulations.

Mr Farage wants to prosecute the journalists who've revealed the rot at the heart of his party. If he cared about that at all he'd be thanking them instead.

To carry out a referendum as they did, then to implement Brexit as they did and then to fail to scrutinise any of it - as they have done ever since - is an epic abuse of power and betrayal of our country by those charged to act in its best interests. Fault lines that will undermine Brexit forever.

Producer: “Who can we get to represent the views of voters in struggling working class towns?” Researcher: “How about a London born privately educated banjo player who is the son of the billionaire who owns GB News?” Producer: “Perfect!”

3 of the best videos I’ve found about that stupid non flying car 2 are informative & 1 is funny

Reminded today of this all-timer from the early days of The Internet

Reuters just reported *as fact* that consumers will be able to get a flying car from Elon Musk starting in about 16 to 18 months. That's not journalism. That's *copying and pasting Tesla marketing copy* onto the digital pages of what used to be one of the more respected media outlets in the world.

This was kind of what was missing when Cameron fucked us over with his backbench appeasement all those years ago. People should have been shown, over a longer period of time, in easy to understand chunks, what leaving the EU would really mean. Anything less than that was weapons grade ineptitude.

An estimated 97% of households use the BBC's services each week. "Many, however, take the BBC for granted – until they’re deprived of it. A study in 2022 found that after nine days without it, 70% of those who’d said it was poor value changed their minds."

If you need a smile today please enjoy Rocky being “walked” by his disabled brother Coconut. It’s not just a little thing either. Watch at the end and you’ll see they know exactly what they are doing. Dogs truly are special creatures ❤️

Might laminate this and hold aloft as the occasion requires.

Elon Musk is now using his control of SpaceX, a US government contractors, to wage his own private foreign policy which is directly at odds with US government policy and instead supports a mortal adversary. This, in a word, is treason.

Yeah, they're currently very silent on the Oxford academic standing trial for possessing indecent child images But then she's shared their platforms, spoken at their events, written for their publications... Funny how the Free Speech Union have nothing to say about the vanishing media coverage?

Maybe an FOI will get to the bottom of why LBC, the Telegraph, GB News and the Daily Mail all pulled their reporting on this? Why only the BBC and now the Daily Mail are covering it? Why Hopwood-Phillips - now a registered sex offender - barely gets a mention? Who knows🤷‍♀️

OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now. It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people! Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem... 🧵1/

But one of the best things his work has given rise to, at least as far as teenagers of the 1980s are concerned, is that video. And one of the best things I’ve found about *that* is the Dazed article, in which Donald Sutherland talks about how he got the gig—and Kate Bush being wasted:

My apologies to anyone else who’s old enough not to want to be reminded just how fucking long ago it was, but: today is the 41st anniversary of the release of Cloudbusting—so it must be time to tell you about Wilhelm Reich and his orgasmatron...

Did the Russians interfere in Brexit?

Minging in the rain! Popped out to get a pint of milk and was caught in an almost Biblical downpour. This trio were caught in a cloudburst, in Buchanan Street, in 1966, when posh folk could still drive right to the door and then park outside the shops or their work. Pic: Newsquest
