A NYE appropriate picture too!

remember how the painting in this photo turned out to be a Hungarian masterpiece that was lost since the 1920s and it was only discovered when an art historian saw it in this movie and went "holy shit"

i still haven't fully processed that this random German guy came to the US as a tourist for the World Cup, was simply so genuinely excited about the country that he live-tweeted himself into mega-virality and now every org in America is giving him free stuff, tours, housing, etc never doubt the power of social media

Emily Dickinson never published in her lifetime, barely left her house, and wrote nearly 1,800 poems in secret. She was the original person who never posted but had an insane drafts folder. The greatest lurker in literary history.

wait why does this sound so good

The World Cup is my favorite way to learn what countries hate each other. Just googling wars I’ve never heard of to figure out why all the Croatian fans are booing Sweden.

you relax for 15 minutes after work and next thing you know it is 10PM😭

Instant classic.

Anthony Bourdain once said RATATOUILLE is the best food movie of all time. “The best restaurant movie ever made, the best chef movie. The tiny details are astonishing: •The faded burns on the cooks’ wrists. •The ‘personal histories’ of the cooks. •The attention paid to the food. •And the Anton Ego ratatouille epiphany hit me like a punch in the chest–literally breathtaking. I saw it in a theater entirely full with adults–and the reaction to that moment was what movie making was once–a long time ago–all about: Audible surprise, delight, awe and even a measure of enlightenment. I am hugely and disproportionately proud that my miniscule contribution (if any) early early in the project’s development led to a ‘thank you’ in the credits. Amazing how much they got ‘right.’”

Toto - Rosanna (1982)

Yes, I’m 41 and a huge Harry Potter fan. If anyone is wondering, here is why. When I was 13 I was a massive bellend trying to better myself by reading Kafka and Dostoyevsky and lots of other things that were far too grown up for me. One day my younger sister told me she’d read a book called Harry Potter and that she thought I’d like it. I reluctantly started reading it and immediately fell in love with it. The child that I still was came alive again. It was funny. It was exciting. It was really bloody good. Fast forward to the summer of 2007 and my dad was dying from brain cancer. He was an incredible man and he was reduced to lying in a bed in the sitting room, half paralysed, unable to speak or feed himself and terrified. It was humiliating and awful and it got to the point where I think all of us were actually wanting an end to it. The Deathly Hallows was released and I started reading it when I was sat with my dad. One day my mum told my sister and I to get out of the house as we needed a break and we went to Mansands, near where we lived in Brixham. We were sat on the beach and I was reading the part where Dobby dies. He dies on a beach near a little cottage within walking distance of a fishing town. I was on a beach near a little cottage within walking distance of a fishing town attempting to cope with the imminent death of my dad. It was as though I was in the book. The stories that I’d loved for years were speaking directly to me. And then I spotted JKR’s ‘absent-minded’ like on a tweet about men in dresses and it cemented her as an absolute legend for me. Yes, I know this sounds like I’m a total kiss arse and you shouldn’t have heroes but I do and she’s JK Rowling.
