@SamQuill00 I don't know who's behind this fantastically boring scam, but they have a really good publicity budget. Honestly, you should see how many Ai-Da related PR emails I've received in the past couple of years.
RIP Bill Fries Junior. Quite aside from being a complete sentence, he was the legend behind the novelty hit that inspired Sam Peckinpah's worst film: https://t.co/7JxWiORbfX
@LiliOwRo Combat on rue de Belleville is alright for this. You can't help but feel like a bit of a dick sitting in there, but the martinis are quite good.
@maxjliu Well you'd think so, wouldn't you? Then again, I read a review of Owen Hatherley's new one in which the critic objects to the fact that the author can't drive. Deeply odd: https://t.co/zrScKuSrY9
Always loved to imagine how exciting it must have been for 1960s British film directors to be able to exploit a landscape like London Wall. This, from Peter Collinson's The Italian Job, is such a fantastic shot. (Source watermarked on pic, helpfully)
@olibasciano (Not calling *you* an idiot, if that wasn't clear: just remarking on a certain, particularly gruesome realtime combat fetishism that I noticed on here and on the btl forums of certain centre-right British newspapers, from the first days of the war onwards.)
@olibasciano Without in any way wanting to sound like an apologist for the Russian attack, idiots on twitter applauding footage of burning military columns perhaps don't realise that it's kids like these being incinerated in their trucks and tanks. Heartbreaking.
@eliseybell It's fantastic, if way more violent than any place in the UK. When are you going and do you need to rent a nice flat bang in the middle of a very central area? Can put you in touch with someone who knows his Marseille from his Marseille.
Christ, no wonder I want to be asleep all the time: dreams off the scale. Last night I went on a quest for a rare potato variety, only to end up watching Macron dying of an asthma attack halfway through a televised debate with Zemmour. For the record, they postponed the election.
