A good example really of why the star system for ratings is a strange old business… because I both was absolutely entertained AND simultaneously didn’t think it was very good. 5 stars for spectacle. 1 star for actual narrative cohesion. 🤷♀️

Finally got round to seeing Gladiator 2. Some thoughts: It would be quite hard not to enjoy the Big Cinema Spectacle of it all. Sharks in the Colosseum! Yes! Wide screens of Paul Mescal’s thighs! Yes! But…

I love love loved the #Wicked movie, which is gorgeous to look at and listen to but also very, very funny @theipaper

For @MarkJackson13 there is no debate, Patrick Ewing stands alone. As the franchise’s all-time leader in points, rebounds, and blocks, Ewing anchored an era and defined Knicks basketball for a generation.

This is unbelievable. Trump just picked Pete Hegseth to be his secretary of defense. Here’s a video of him claiming that “germs are not real.” His job will be to protect America, create national defense policy and secure the homeland. This is what America voted for. Please

Has anyone ever had this problem with their iPhone? WiFi/data working fine but won’t let me make or receive regular phone calls (will let them ring me but if I pick up we can’t connect, apparently it sounds like I’ve just not picked up). Could it be my phone? 02? Help!

Hey Twitter/X, we used to be able to scroll back years on here but now it looks like a maximum of two years. Anybody have any idea why that is or if it’s possible to circumvent?
