Polaroid of Bowie, taken at Regine's in London in 1981 by Robert Rosen. "My thumbprint is at the top from where I was holding it so tightly. I showed it to him & said, ‘I'm sorry, look my thumbprint's on it, I think we better do another one.’ He said, ‘No, I like it. It's art.’

Oh good my middle-aged upstairs neighbours with their shit taste in house music are back.

This is some real 'it was revealed to me in a dream' history and by that I mean the kind of dream that the protagonist had in The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

it's so funny that the word "historically" used to mean "I have, through historical study, observed this phenomena regularly across a long period of time" and now it means "I am hallucinating this VERY hard"

I've never actually watched nor read Ranma 1/2 (was more drawn to Urusei Yatsura) so will be relying on you all to let me know if the new show is a travesty.

it’s really funny how so many GOP Texans are IRATE about the existence of California, while people in California largely don’t think about Texas at all

Can't imagine why the private train companies think gradual renationalization is a bad idea. Totally baffling to me. Totally.

A) how does prosecuting people stealing a tin of beans work out with the need to address the court backlog and overcrowded prisons? B) how much of this is just based on racist vibes? C) how will you protect shop staff who will now be asked by management to challenge shoplifters more often?

One of his biggest ego boosts was rallies and now he can no longer have them. Perhaps there is some small measure of justice in the universe.

Trump is 100% now imagining getting shot at every time he gets in front of a crowd, for the rest of his life.

The same mad, flag-wetting nonsense I've been hearing from British commentators for years. I really wish they cared to examine, or indeed explain, why it is that the British public constantly need to be told these soppy little bedtime stories about their nation, while Irish people do not.

It's weird how the bad guy in literally every Hollywood movie of the 90s was a Trump surrogate (remember the Ben Gazzara character in Road House?) but we still ended up here, I guess hurrah for the power of cinema

TWISTER is such a great movie. The good storm chasers have sensors that are balls, which are round and wholesome, and the bad storm chasers have sensors that are cubes, the most evil shape.

“J.D. Vance provokes a shooting war with the UK” is now a non-impossible outcome of the next decade

He said the UK was on its way to being a nuclear armed caliphate. So he’s making friends internationally as well.
