I think it’s a massive testament to just how good this film is that I - someone hugely invested in the art and craft of making tiny people - was only ever taken out of it a couple of times to go “how did they do that?” despite the sheer amount of stuff I’ve never seen in stop-motion before.

LOOK AT THIS SHIT THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER I LOVE HUMANITY I LOVE ART

I'd forgotten just how frenzied the release of this was. It's not like he was universally beloved at the time but he really is primarily known as a weird crank now.

It is, today, not the 13th anniversary of the publication of Steven Morrissey’s autobiography (it had been out for ten days) but something much better: the 13th anniversary of the Sunday Times publishing A. A. Gill’s merciless mauling of it—a review which went on to win Hatchet Job of the Year

RANDOM POSTER WHOSE OPINION I HAVE NO REASON TO TRUST: A result like this in NV-03 would be seismic. That’s deep Blortles country. It was Vinkum +8 in ‘24 ME DURING ELECTION SEASON: totally. i just need to look at 9000 more of these

Rewatching The Man With The Golden Gun and it's still fucking insane seeing Christopher Lee in a tracksuit. It's like seeing the Archbishop of Canterbury turn up to work in a gorilla costume.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Lula has fallen asleep where the heating pipes pass under the floorboards. More information to follow when she gets hungry or needs a poo.

Very confusing feed to wake up to as someone whose cat is called Lula

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

Tell you what's really good for recovering from anxiety and depression, financial instability.

“Healey should remove anxiety and depression as a reason to claim benefits and offer people treatment instead. It would be better for the individuals and a fraction of the cost.” Read more: trib.al/cxsKwxw

‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5

Here’s Chapoman Matt Christman in 2017, after that torchlit fascist rally in Charlottesville. We’re almost ten years later now. Does anything here sound wrong? I would say no, it is not wrong.

I mean, this is not complex: the death drive is right at the core of fascism, and fascism requires a constant sprint towards more cruelty, destruction and insanity. Any second it is at rest, it is dying. So it must keep getting worse and more extreme www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Big excitement here this morning as I find an STL file to replace part of my bin shed, so I don't have to model it myself. Don't get old kids.

This feels a lot like some minor piece of fandom escaping containment. Ondřej being in The Atlantic is like when everyone suddenly knew who Groot was.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"average bristolian eats 3 ket a day" factoid actualy just statistical error. average bristolian eats 0 ket per day. Ketamine Georg, who is in massive attack & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
