In July I’ll be delivering my cheerily titled paper "Everything inside has gone – a life among the ruins" for the 9th international conference of the European Popular Culture Association (EPCA), #eupop2022 , Jagiellonian University, July 14th–16th, 2022. epcablog.wordpress.com/eupop-2018-ext…

@MaxFRobespierre @mehdirhasan Also strong Mayor from JAWS vibes.

He looks like a guy who is going to help the Nazis find the Ark of the Covenant.

I followed Nigel Farage on and off for 10 years. When all's said and done about his standing in Clacton, milkshake incident etc, he remains at the end of the day one of the most repugnant shameless liars in UK history. Some of his standout lesser-known lies I've compiled FTR 🧵

Thread of movie scenes inspired by art 🧵 1. Shutter Island - Klimt's Kiss

@RMcElhenney The Gang Make a Beautiful Butterfly.

Give me the name for the episode and we’ll do it

@RMcElhenney @PMullin7 In a recent game, he scored and instead of celebrating ran to the net to get the ball back to go again. Commitment.

This may be my favorite goal of his. Not a game winner or anything fancy. Just perseverance, hustle and grit. @PMullin7 knows the people in that stadium didn’t pay their hard-earned wage to watch guys give 95%. They deserve 100% and he gives it to them ALL. THE. TIME.

@WrexhamAFCTampa @fearlessidzine @Wrexham_AFC Great goal - great attitude picking the ball up to go again.

Mullin’s 100th!!! @Wrexham_AFC equalizes

@LondonEconomic It’s still on their page.

Tories delete attack ad about crime in London because it features footage from New York thelondoneconomic.com/politics/torie…

@partypirate We have about 100 for the acoustic set.

@theipaper @iburrell Except Humanities and Media courses are being cut across the country at all levels.

Opinion | Kate Middleton’s photo saga is a reminder not to always trust online images The Princess of Wales photo saga should help convince education authorities of the importance of teaching media literacy in schools, writes @iburrell trib.al/jkes330

The wife feels lonely and sad, but the husband has no idea why. They love each other but don't like each other anymore. This is by far the most common married couple who comes to me for help. And there's a specific reason this is happening. Here's the reason:

How do you incubate a mind virus? How do you cause a culture to self-destruct? In 1984, this KGB defector exposed the 4-stages identified by Soviet intelligence as the necessary steps to cause the psychological implosion of American society. Stage 1: Demoralization (15–20 yrs)

@NTLive Is this live in Llandudno tonight?

Where are you watching #Vanya from tonight? Shout out your favourite cinema👇🍿

@_JessicaDavies So he’s saying that men can’t be in control of their emotions and urges and therefore shouldn’t be in positions of power or influence?

It’s honestly scary to be a woman and see how much so many men hate us. Like terrifying.

We are dismayed that Birmingham, the UK’s second city, will lose almost all its council funding for the arts over the next 2 years. Defunding the arts will harm quality of life, exacerbate inequalities & set back economic recovery. It will only make our problems worse. (1/8)🧵

@NTLive I’m thinking of seeing this in Venue Cymru - is it a live show or pre-recorded?

Patiently waiting... ⌛ Hopes, dreams, and regrets are centre stage in Vanya. Don't miss Andrew Scott's spellbinding performance in cinemas next week.

In Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897), Dr Seward’s journals are famously ‘Kept in Phonograph’. Join me for a nerdy deep dive in which I, brandishing back-of-an-envelope math, calculate the cost of Seward's phonograph habit, & encounter a creature more uncanny than Dracula himself! 1/13

The biggest lie they tell you: You have to suffer through your aching knees. Here are 10 elite exercises to kill your knee pain (for good):

@notDcfcBoss I have worked with someone incredibly similar.

I’ve always had ‘that’ feeling about Wallace without having anything tangible to pin it on but having read this I can say with clarity and certainty the man is a self-centred arsehole of the highest order.

TAKE THE RIGHT STEPS (1985): Stepladder safety PIF, rightly legendary for the shot of a burly stuntman in an Aunt May wig going for a burton into a glass display cabinet. And that's Bill 'Compo' Owen on V.O. duties!
