How is the internet less private than in 2006, when the whole family shared one computer? Back then, the internet was weird, personal, and all of ours. So, we got your favorite meme legends back together to say it louder: What happened to the internet? 1/3

OPEN LETTER: Sally Rooney is a writer, not a terrorist. Her books must be available to the public. Their withdrawal from sale, on the basis of ill-conceived and draconian anti terror legislation, is an affront to basic principles of free speech and expression so long taken for granted in this country. We categorically reject censorship - whether direct or indirect - and urge the government to change course, amending the legislation which has led us to this point of repressive absurdity.

sad that london film festival is over because the subreddit has been such a source of joy for me. genuinely just a bunch of seemingly not-very-socialised people writing long rant posts about totally innocuous stuff. (people checking their phones, wearing caps (?), etc.)

briefly checking your phone seems to be a real sticking point for people. but I counter you this: what else are you meant to do during a Luca Guadagnino film?

you gotta sit behind the break in the rake. those first ten or so rows, it’s like watching a film on a plane taking off. optimal experience is not at the very back but near enough.
Idc what anyone says. Viewing experience in that downstairs screening sucks lol

Last night was a dream. Thanks to the 20 (!) people who turned up to discuss and dissect Life of M (along with its strange critical reaction!) So many differing interpretations, such robust intellectual chat, that ended up lasting almost 90 mins.

It would be unfair to say that every contributor to "The Critic" is an Oxbridge-connected far-right-adjacent child porn enthusiast, but every Oxbridge-connected far-right-adjacent child porn enthusiast has definitely written for "The Critic"

Are there any actors who have ever actually put out good music?

god the website for that Verdurin place lists everyone who's ever worked with them and it is, of course, all the usual suspects verdur.in/about/
Lola Salem, who is involved alongside Nina Power in running the far-right London art space 'Verdurin' (named after an antisemitic Proust character), has been charged with possessing indecent images of children.

several days after "The Man I Love" and I'm afraid I'll never stop saying "You knew Jimmy George!?" in increasingly theatrical ways. followed by a mewing little "he was my friend..."

at the gala screening of Artificial last night, Guadagnino made us all do a minute's silence for Jimmy George and pointed at the seat purposefully left empty by his absence. "Djeemy Dgorjj," he said fighting back tears. "De man I loave."

casting the 22 year old cooper hoffman as a balding 35 year old just feels cruel

you guys do know that your parents had to go out and buy newspapers, yeah? they didn’t just turn up in your house for free
tbh i think vogue runway getting a paywall became a huge obstacle on fashion enthusiasts. i would scroll hours looking at every collection and detail photo + reading each review… now it’s gone
