They say chivalry is dead but a man on the bus earlier saw that I was worried by a wasp, so he slammed it against the window with his bare hand.

Turned on The 1975 at Glastonbury and thought the cameramen standing on the stage in front of the band were some sort of ‘bit’… but no, I think they’re just making sure they get their angles.

I just tried to scroll/swipe up on a piece of paper.

I bet when Robbie decided to be a chimp in his biopic, he didn’t realise the trailer would play between the one for Mufasa (full of talking animals) and Wicked (full of talking animals). There really couldn’t be a more boring time to be a talking animal.

Just wanna read a lengthy think piece comparing the execution of the “sexy baby” trope in Hot Frosty and Poor Things.

Any journo/arts folk got any suggestions of who I could throw a review at if I had the burning urge to write about a comedy show at the Fringe that I enjoyed? I'm sure there must be some editor out there looking to fill (web) pages...

Just reflecting on the fact that I bought a small baguette last night so that I could have half with soup for dinner and the other half for lunch today… but instead I ate half of the baguette before I got home. Like an animal. So it’ll be sad freezer bread for lunch… 🎻

Imagine if people who don’t care for football spoke like people who don’t care for Taylor Swift. ‘Enjoy your cult, lads!’. ‘I couldn’t even name one player’. ‘Flying to the game?! Carbon emissions!’. ‘Watch more than one game? Why?!’. ‘You should watch real sport like tennis’. 😏

So apparently O2 venues now consider any camera with a focal length greater than 35mm to be ‘professional’. Here are some of the phones they are therefore in denial about en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List…

Do we think they meant the rule for ‘35mm’ sensor size, ie full-frame? Can we assume the rule was made by someone who doesn’t understand cameras?

The dancers rush on stage from either side, in lab coats, wheeling on bookcases, filing cabinets, operating equipment. It’s a lab/library. There’s dry ice in the middle of the stage.

…And then we go into the original Eras Tour opening. A few songs are cut along the way. At surprise songs, Taylor references the cuts and pledges that those songs are now in rotation.

Or I would accept this TTPD set being slotted in elsewhere in the gig. But not last. TTPD is not the right vibe for that, and the other Eras aren’t in order.
