In Peter Pan (2003), Jason Isaacs fought against the studio's plan to give Captain Hook a more moustache-twirling Disney look, insisting he should feel genuinely dangerous and aristocratic. He got his way — but Hook's several-kilogram wig left him with chronic neck pain.

“Israel’s war in Gaza has become a death trap for the media. My Office has verified the killing of nearly 300 journalists since October 2023, with many more injured.”

Nikki Hiltz, a transgender & non-binary Olympian, speaks out against the event’s new anti-trans policy:

“I don't know who needs to hear this but ZERO trans women competed in the Paris Olympics. Only ONE trans woman weightlifter competed in Tokyo 2021 and she did not win a medal. Can we please stop obsessing over trans people? And idk maybe focus our time, energy, and resources into real problems women's sports face?”

why is wearing a hat as someone who doesn't usually wear hats so difficult and humiliating. it feels like everyone can tell i don't know what i'm doing

@iiofspain There was definitely a fuckyeahsixidiots tumblr back in the day and they used to refer to each other as idiots when they were filming HH so I think it was before yonderland era but I also think we referred to them as the HH cast until Yonderland et al.

@LateefSaka a black woman with tourettes talked about the situation and I wish people would take the time to listen to what she has to say and educate themselves

[Susan @smyles97]

I knew the opening was a shitshow but I had assumed they had worked out the kinks in management by now. I understand they didn’t want to cancel and cast illness can’t be helped but they surely knew there were issues earlier than 7pm

[Susan @smyles97]

Not the hunger games live on stage cancelling their performance tonight 30 mins before curtain once the majority of their audience had made it to Canary Wharf to see the show. Not even enough time to get back into the west end to get tickets for something else…

[Susan @smyles97]

Fuming isn’t the word, I’ve also received zero communication from them via email or text that the show was cancelled so unless you wasted your time going to the theatre itself in Canary Wharf you would have no idea the show was cancelled and were due a refund…

The "protect our women" crowd seem awfully quiet on this subject. It's abhorrent that Musk is allowing women to be exploited on this platform like this and both cowardly and hypocritical that his UK fan club aren't calling him out on it.

AI consumed as much water as the water bottle industry this year.

It also created as much carbon pollution as New York City, according to a new study.
