I think about the bit in 1984 where they're all howling with laughter at footage an overweight refugee swimming for his life & getting shot by helicopters all the time these days. All the time.
This just in from our dehumanising cult correspondent. All of this, and the last 10 years of unravelling hatred, because Cameron was scared of losing face in front of his playground rival Johnson and wanted to look in charge. Thanks a lot, Eton, it's all on you.

Six years later, a series of mixes I'd been sitting on. No 2020 A *and* B here, as 2020 was the plague year. But there was still music! This mix starts with some fine hip-hop and goes from there.

"I'll see you again in 25 years." I'm covering the miraculous Twin Peaks Season 3—aka The Return—for @popheist.com, starting with the season premiere. I hate to say "this is not your father's Twin Peaks" since it's literally the same people, but there's no mistaking that we're seeing something new.
'Twin Peaks' Season 3 Premiere Recap: Meanwhile - Pop Heist
Now 'Twin Peaks' can be explicit with its aims and in its means of executing them in a way it couldn't before. It can titillate and terrify.

Then they came for the Customer Service team,
And I did not speak out,
Because I was on hold, owing to an exceptionally high volume of calls.
But my call was important to them.

Today, instead of doomscrolling, I can actually say I was joyscrolling. So many people having the biggest laughs, the biggest reliefs from seeing this demon shuffle off this mortal coil. A preview of times to come.

George Hurrell was one of the great portrait photographers of Old Hollywood. He helped provide glamour to stars like Carole Lombard, Jean Harlow & Clark Gable.
Late in his career Hurrell did album covers for rock & pop groups in the 70s & 80s. Here's a thread! 🧵

I’d love to see a gender breakdown on this because if the mainstream media thinks there’s a male loneliness epidemic now wait a couple of years until an entire generation of dudes are broke bois and the women of that generation aren’t.
NEW from me:
Americans are set to lose nearly $250B gambling this year—a record high, up more than 60% since 2019—and that's before counting unofficial betting via prediction markets or crypto
Can anything stop America's gambling boom? 🧵
