The first time I ever heard the theme was in a BBC montage of the World Gymnastics Championships in 1983. It stuck with me, but it was years before I saw the film and finally knew what that elusive tune was.
Nobody has ever been so lyrically yet thoroughly excoriated as in this piece. And yet, few people have ever deserved such a complete dismantling as the Prince formerly known as Andrew

My first test, they sent an open container that I imagine people filled right up. Now it's like a spoolie that goes through a narrow opening, because I expect people were not obeying the instructions re volume
Who has pictures of uncommon vending machines in Japan? I put up a page on them on Japan Scavenger Hunt, and am still digging up photos I have, but would love to add anything other people have, too. Please reply with anything you'd like to submit, and how you want to be credited!
When you sober up and read your responses back, I hope you will reflect abd seek anger management, and perhaps, in the fullness of time, you'll be able to laugh at yourself at least half as much as I'm laughing at you. I sincerely wish that joy for you.
So aggressive. So angry. Get help π
So aggressive. So angry. Why are you still talking to me instead of your therapist?
Ahahahahahaha *breathes*ahahaha ahahahahaha ahahahahahahahahaha
Keep posting buddy, you're really selling yourself here π
You're definitely unstable. You're angry. You're probably small and powerless in life, so I forgive you for your deficiencies. You have my pity, only having the keyboard for company is unspeakably sad.
holy shit
Thankyou!
Lovely
Trump tries his tug-of-war handshake with Paraguay's president, but fails to pull it off.
Thankyou!
No, I won't help you understand it, but I will tell you why.
1) You're rude
2) You're entitled
3) You're clearly unstable judging by the way you ramp up the aggression word by word
4) You're a stranger.
5) You're presumptuous.
You did make me laugh though, so there is that ππ€‘π

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, Iβm not getting what I wantβIβm not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, βI know you werenβt happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldnβt have gone home if I had felt we werenβt getting it.β And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, βYou find it difficult to be happy, donβt you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.β And I said, βWell, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.β He talked to me then about when he was making, I donβt know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, βI didnβt enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.β And then he said, βYou know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, youβll have hours of happiness.β
The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.
The only good thing about twitter in the end was the instant news and I really miss it. I'm still searching for a video of Crufts Best in Show winner. Nothing on here yet or IG or Google. I bet that place is awash is video though C'MON BLUESKY, THIS SHIT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT π©
My photo shows a view looking straight down an ancient street in Pompeii. The road is made of large, unevenly-shaped, rounded gray stone blocks. Running lengthwise through the stones are two shallow groovesβparallel tracks worn into the stone by the passage of wagon wheels centuries ago. On both sides of the street are pedestrian pavements, raised about a step higher than the road. Beyond the pavements are the remains of buildings with thick walls made of rough stone and reddish bricks. The roofs and upper floors are gone. The street stretches straight into the distance, narrowing with perspective. A few small human figures and trees in the distance, emphasize how long the road is. Above the street, the blue sky is streaked with thin, wispy clouds. At the far end of the street, rising behind the ruins, thereβs a glimpse of the dark, lower slope of Mount Vesuvius, the volcano whose eruption buried Pompeii in AD 79.
Wheel ruts worn into the roads of ancient Pompeii made by the passage of wagons and carts some 2,000+ years ago.
A reminder to modern visitors of ancient traffic which flowed through busy Pompeian streets.

CORRECTION: The US military published footage on social media claiming to show strikes on targets in Iran. Reuters could not independently verify the video's location or date. We have removed the video because it did not cite its source reut.rs/4sxNkRD
If it wasnβt clear already, the reaction of the Brexiteer right to Trumpβs war on Iran shows that Brexit for them was not about sovereignty it was about making the UK a vassal state of the US.
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper responds to President Trumpβs latest outburst.
βThe job of the British PM is to take decisions in the national interest of the U.K., not in the interests of other countriesβ¦ we donβt outsource foreign policy to other countriesβ.
