Cannot get over the beauty of this GIF: it’s Zidane celebrating last night after Olise scored a last minute winner for France. It looks like something from a movie or a high-end fashion advert. Probably the most elegant footballer of all time.

That is quite the month of new releases! My criterion Blue Velvet is safe, but existing editions of Bullitt, Logan’s Run, and When Harry Met Sally will soon be finding themselves in a charity bag.

Well well well, something finally happened. What do we reckon the sanctions (if any) will ultimately be?
Stripped of titles won during those years? Transfer ban? Haaland ordered to immediately sign for #nufc?

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.
Perhaps you’ve ditched algorithmically curated playlists for vinyl and enjoy DVDs rather than streaming
Are you embracing low-tech ways to enjoy music and movies?

Not to disparage the fine profession of meteorology, but yesterday I checked a weather app for my holiday next week and it said 29 degrees and sunny. Just checked it now and it's saying 16 degrees and pissing down. What the fuck, lads?

Replacing television and film with Whatever All This Is has gone so well. The bright future that the disrupters came up with (a version of having a very big hard drive of indifferent content you can’t navigate and don’t value) has worked about as well as it did for music. We’re all so much poorer.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path.
Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?
