@BDSixsmith @fitzfromdublin Personally, I think it’s very odd that we have this need for collaborators whose work we enjoy to also be tremendous pals (let alone love each other). I bet you anything you like they don’t even socialise together.

@fitzfromdublin It's tough because if we lived in a less censorious society l think it would be fine — "he's totally wrong but I love him" — but in a society like Britain's it feels like enabling the mob.

@fitzfromdublin Oh, you think they’re *friends*? Before their podcast became a cash cow, they used to get very spicy with one another. Sandbrooke could be downright insulting to Holland. I remember S. once saying to his face that H. was the sort of dad all the other kids’ parents hate.

@olivertraldi A work of genius, in painting, sculpture, literature, music etc. is when a work is so persuasive that the flaws are features. Yes, they possess flaws; no those flaws don’t operate as flaws. It’s effectively embodied in the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi.

@GWHayduke97 I come from London and live in Paris. Both those cities benefit from flat, grey light and flinty skies. Nothing is more beautiful than Paris in the rain. Sunshine is OK in doses, but too much sends me into a deep depression.

It genuinely breaks my brain to imagine what 1400 hours of annual sunshine must be like to live in. When going to college in Chicago, I really struggled with the seemingly endless gray of the winters. Chicago gets 2500 sunshine hours!

@sturgios I used to go there all the time in the nineties when it was like stepping into the fifties. They've smartened it up since then (I'm not even sure you can still just drop in for coffee any more), but even back then they were always talking about it closing/redeveloping it.

I wrote a piece in January about the potential closure of the wonderful and historic Daquise Polish restaurant in South Kensington. News today confirms it is going to be closed for development. Very sad if not unexpected news. Do try to go if you possibly can while it’s here

@portraitinflesh I think what you say is true, but there were certain advantages with the old formats. An LP was a whole package with its own visual and tactile identity. It was immersive because you treated the music less casually. Consequently, music was given the time to grow on you gradually.

I have fond memories of all these technologies, even vinyl. But having a Spotify (or whatever) subscription is just, objectively, the best way to consume music. One monthly payment and almost literally everything ever recorded is at your fingertips. Of *course* streaming has won.

If people want to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection and then replace that with a CD collection that we slowly replaced with an MP3 collection and now need a subscription to listen to music.

@S___Elliott I would argue that the dialogue in Merchant Ivory's A Room With a View is more effective than in Forster's original text, thanks to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala. The impeccable casting pushes it a step even further. Pace @VyseCecil

@LangelaDiter @BLackgold_5 Cet événement a sans aucun doute eu lieu et la photo en noir et blanc que vous avez publié est sans doute authentique, mais la photo originale en couleur ci-dessus n'a aucun sens sur le plan visuel et présente tous les signes d'une image générée par l'IA.

@Impitoyable @BLackgold_5 Je vous l’explique une dernière fois : cette photo du prototype du Concorde est parfaitement authentique, comme en témoigne la source AFP – même s’ils se plantent sur la date, le vol ayant eu lieu en mai 1969, et non en juin.

@francesafetytra If you require a surgical intervention, ask a qualified practitioner and not your cousin who got a Swiss Army knife for Christmas.

@LangelaDiter @BLackgold_5 Zoomez sur la photo : la disposition des bâtiments n'a aucun sens, ni sur le plan géographique ni sur le plan géométrique. Les inscriptions sur l'avion sont erronées. Il manque des moteurs sur l'aile gauche. Selon la perspective, le Concorde serait minuscule.

@Impitoyable @BLackgold_5 Non... vous faites erreur, cette image est vraie... Le prototype Concorde 001 a réalisé son premier passage au-dessus de Paris le 29 mai 1969, survolant la place de l'Étoile, les Champs-Élysées et la place de la Concorde à environ 500 mètres d'altitude et 600 km/h

@UbermenschMind You think modernist architects didn’t care about aesthetics, proportions and the beauty of materials? I’ve noticed one thing all these anti-modernism accounts have in common is that when they talk of aesthetics, all they really mean is decoration.
