Someone I used to work with has said they’re sick of Starmer, and wishes we had Tha**her in charge. 📦 ☠️ Thank fuck I don’t have to deal with her anymore

🔊 JADE’s boyfriend (Rizzle Kicks’s Jordan Stephens) defends Harry Styles’s BRITs performance, pushing back at claims that Harry lacks authenticity with the genres he’s exploring: “This is proximity bias, I promise you. [People are] unable to detach themselves from the memory of a young Harry Styles. If Harry had mystery… he doesn't have that in the UK. I live through the same issue with people. He has lived a life that you don't know about. He didn't even do anything [in the public eye] for an entire year. He wasn't even around. You don't know what he did; you’ve got no idea where he was. If no one knew who Harry Styles was and that was the first performance [they saw], why are you questioning whether or not he went to a fucking club? Just listen to the song. Do you know why I loved Harry's performance? I loved Harry’s performance because – and I mean this – when I was away in Canada, I saw JADE perform twice… and I genuinely, in my heart of hearts, don't think there's a better all-round [pop] performer than JADE in the UK. And I'm not even trying to say this as some lovey-dovey bullshit, I swear to fuck I'm not. I mean this as objectively as possible. Not everyone's going to love pop. But Jade does full choreo, full live vocal, she does full stage design… The amount she puts into a live show, you have to – l have to – respect it. I have to go, ‘Whoa, that is incredible.’ When I look at men who are pop-adjacent, it is fucking barren. Just seeing a solo male artist on stage doing any kind of dance routine – while singing, with a dope set, with a choir, and he's doing these little moves… I want that. I need pop-adjacent artists to get it. For me, my journey with music or movement has developed throughout my life. And actually, oddly, my relationship to techno or club or that kind of rhythm – that energy has come out in me since becoming sober. Since I stopped drinking, I actually want to engage with that club culture more, because the music brings me a sense of escape. And I see that in Harry. My point is, I can understand why a person can be taken into a place of connection to that style of music without trying to *be* anything. Dancing isn't owned by anybody. If anyone wants to dance, they can dance.”

.@TicketmasterUK I didn’t get an email before 23:59 to confirm whether I was successful or unsuccessful in the harry styles ticket ballot like you said I would. I want full compensation for the traumatic night I have encountered. I will accept a ticket to the event to cover this.

Queen

@NorthYorksOwls @Victoria1867 I’m so mardy - obvz wasn’t expecting to get them, but put me out of my misery ffs 😭

@Victoria1867 @HashtagChambers I’ve only been asked 96 times by the teenager to ‘Can you check your emails’

Stop it

I knew immediately where this was … 🤣

@rinalu_ @williamhanson right at the end … did she do what I think she did? 😱🥂

Putin arrived 14 minutes late to meet the Queen in 2003. When it was time to leave, Elizabeth II kept him waiting the exact same amount of time. That wordless exchange taught more about real power than any speech ever could. By 2003, Vladimir Putin was already known for not adjusting himself to symbolic hierarchies. His state visit to Buckingham Palace became a quiet example of that. Although the Queen met the Russian president more than once, this was the only full state reception, and it was remembered because Putin arrived twelve to fourteen minutes late. The official explanation mentioned traffic in central London, even though routes for visits of that level are normally cleared. The explanation was accepted without comment, and when it was time for the farewell, Elizabeth II appeared with exactly the same delay, turning the episode into a wordless exchange between equals.

the thing with losing catherine o’hara is that there are few actors unafraid to make the zany, whacky, over the top comedic choices she’d make. there’s just no one like her

Oh can we not 😭😭😭😭 This one hurts so fucking bad

NOT CATHERINE O’HARA. ANYONE BUT HER
