All of the songs on the soundtrack to 1992's Resevoir Dogs are from the late 60s/early 70s. If Resevoir Dogs was made today the soundtrack would consist of Nelly's Hot In Here, Complicated by Avril Lavigne, Justin Timberlake's Like I Love You, & The Ketchup Song by Las Ketchup.

So many Letterboxd reviews of the new Netflix film 'Carry-On' saying; "Wow! It's like Die Hard but in an airport!" and, boy, do I have a film to show them...

We are appalled that an Israeli airstrike last night killed at least 30 Palestinians, including children, who were sheltering in a post office. Nowhere is safe for families in Gaza. They need a ceasefire. They need the UK to suspend all arms sales to the Government of Israel.

It is so painfully obvious that the moral panic about trans kids is not about protecting children but putting them in their place

We know voting is irrelevant to creating a society in which we can all prosper. The oligarchs have very carefully dismantled the ability of ordinary people to get justice. In their greed to get everything and hold all power, they forgot to allow folks to feel like they had hope.

“Half of our week, we are working for our landlords” Amazing piece from an @LDNRentersUnion member ahead of the demonstration for rent control this weekend. Give it a read and then see you on the streets! huckmag.com/article/why-im…

The sickness of capitalism is that if you kill a person with paperwork, it simply doesn't count.

National Parks are at breaking point. After a decade of budget cuts will the gov't save the #NationalParks that @UKLabour founded 75 years ago? It's more than money: the Parks need urgent reform with stronger powers for nature, climate & public interest theguardian.com/environment/20…

The news that people inheriting land worth at least £1 million will have to pay tax on it has drawn significantly more outrage from politicians and the press than the news that 1 in 3 children in Britain are now living in poverty.

The richest people in England are pretending to be farmers so they can avoid paying inheritance tax( I didn't have Andrew Lloyd Webber on my bingo card). They don't care about the poor. They're just protecting their investment.
