So grateful to the @BFI for programming Blue Black Permanent not just for the discovery of a wonderful piece of Scottish cinema, but also for introducing me to Margaret Tait’s poetry

Activists built a water station providing clean drinking water to Palestinians.

He posts about it's launch on X.

One hour later Israel bombs it, killing the workers.

Guy stood up at the end of my Disclosure Day screening and sincerely asked the whole room: “Did anyone understand that???”

Mr Spielberg your empathy machine is broken!!

Was also delighted to hear that the Green-Ray-esque almost final moment was kind of movie magic: "I don't know where it came from and the timing was just, it feels like we put it in there, but it truly appeared and then disappeared exactly in that moment" 💫✨

Beyond thrilled to get to speak to such a thoughtful, caring, smart filmmaker as @SophyRomvari about a film that knocked the wind out of me: https://t.co/31ZXFJ13Ia

@SophyRomvari on indie filmmaking: "I was just really struck by how, honestly, incredible it is that when you make a film - if you're in the right model - you can do it however you want, if you actually do everything with intention... and how fruitful that is for the art itself"

Devastated to have only just realised how much Starmer sounds like Brian Butterfield. Good riddance to a man who gave new meaning to spineless!!

[Chekhov's Hun @jt_is]

[Chekhov's Hun @jt_is]

Is he doing the lush life choreo?

[Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott]

There is a myth, very widely held in Labour, that we achieved an huge popular victory in 2024 under Starmer.
In fact we won 9.7 million votes, over 3 million fewer than in 2017 and half a million less than the 'disastrous' 2019 poll.
We won because the Tories imploded in 2024.

Why on god’s green earth are we allowing Stanley Tucci to be interviewed by the insurance meerkat??

[Chekhov's Hun @jt_is]

That’s not a crime that’s reparations

JUST IN: Mt. Everest guides accused of “poisoning” climbers to trigger helicopter rescues as part of an insurance scam.

The guides have allegedly been lacing hikers' food and pressuring them into taking expensive rescue helicopter evacuations.

"Guides with the trekking agencies allegedly poisoned tourists by putting baking soda in their food to trigger severe gastrointestinal distress that mimicked altitude sickness or food poisoning," the New York Post reports.

Operators would allegedly then forge medical documents and flight documents to charge international travel insurers.

According to police, the groups have received $19.69 million in insurance payouts.

Police in Nepal have charged 32 individuals for organized crime and fraud, including trekking company owners, helicopter operators, and hospital executives.
