Finally, omg
EXCLUSIVE: A multi-millionaire banker descended from royalty has been arrested by police hunting the 'Putney Pusher', the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal. The suspect was detained today at his £1.4million home in west London. A director at a private bank, he is a decorated former British Army officer who served in several major conflicts. His arrest comes nearly ten years after a jogger shoved a female pedestrian into the path of a double-decker bus on Putney Bridge.

Ok, I'm sorry, I do love Amy Adams, but the people saying her accent in new Cape Fear is hilarious are correct "It's how we test ah mo wal compass"

It's deeply unfortunate (but possibly a boon for the box office) that Disclosure Day is being released at a time when the Tr*mp administration can't stop banging on about aliens being real. It's too many things conflating in v confusing ways

I think what moved me most about Disclosure Day is the evident awareness of an aging filmmaker of what might be his last message to the world, so that he tries to say something both simple and profound, that its undeniable sentimentality comes from a place of pure sincerity.

*Spoilers, kinda* Is it about Israel/Gaza? Yes, probably a bit. I think we shld look closer to Spielberg's home & realise that it's about America. Could you even read it, in this moment, as something to do with Epst*in? I think so - the diminutive aliens with big heads & eyes?...

... World leaders and other important people involved in a vast coverup of the maltreatment of these small beings? I don't think it shld be read as analogous to any one thing - the point is the underpinning will for truth and for people to act with empathy

I think honestly this was a nostalgic film, calling us back to a time when the concept of a common truth was more real, & it felt like at least sections of humanity cld be on the same page at the same time. Everything so fragmented now, I see why it might not speak to under 30s
The way she was tearing up while trying to make sense of the footage as we were processing it alongside her. It was poetic seeing every news outlet come together on Disclosure Day in an era that often feels built to fragment narratives rather than inform the public with truth.

That was something that I personally found moving about it, but I see why those who never experienced it will find it corny or irrelevant. Perhaps it is, but it's sincere (also passe, I fear) and maybe we should give grace to that. Anyway I liked it a lot. I don't doubt its heart

Amazing: KPMG wrote a report describing the successful use of AI by businesses. But the case studies turned out to be AI hallucinations. giftarticle.ft.com/giftartic…

Musk as a trillionaire- anyone as a trillionaire- is a grotesque economic, moral and political problem. We cannot have individuals with that level of power, whatever they might have achieved.

Two banks have spent $1bn "without generating a significant return on investment." Yikes.

Just seen someone on BlueSky complain that Disclosure Day has a massive z*onist analogy in it, which they are v angry about lmao. Sorry, that's why I won't leave Twitter - both places a special kind of insane in their own ways

Basically did a spit-take on reading it. It's an alien movie and it does have a message - and the message is basically just empathy - and somehow this person generated their own really specific thing to rant about from that

Oooh. Interesting chpices happening here. Personally, I feel The Bride! was a lot better than it got credit for, but still v interesting to see Maggie return to an arena closer to The Lost Daughter, where she undeniably succeeded
Interesting: After THE BRIDE bombed big time, Warner Bros. is getting back into the Maggie Gyllenhaal business with her developing an adaptation of the Rachel Kushner novel CREATION LAKE.

Obviously not the point of this post, which the OP's parents seem to have been sadly scammed, but you *need to know where your stopcock is*. If you know nothing else about your home, just know that. Don't ask me how I know
My parents, both pensioners, were charged £850 by an emergency plumber last night. They have British Gas HomeCare, but they couldn’t get anyone out to them quickly enough. Their toilet was overflowing and starting to flood the house, so they called an emergency plumber. They have another toilet, so the immediate emergency was the flooding. The water could potentially have been isolated and a quote provided before any repair work was carried out. Instead, the work was done immediately and they were charged £850. My dad was also sent a series of text messages he had to respond to during the emergency. As far as I could tell, they didn’t appear to contain any obvious company branding, address or identifying information. Fuming on their behalf. Can’t help feeling they’ve been taken advantage of. Is this normal practice? And if not, is there anything we can do about it now?

Agree with this. I was pretty into some of the things happening towards the start of the movie
Spielberg and Janusz Kaminski in Disclosure Day are moving the camera in ways that we haven't seen done in a while

Whole housing system is completely jammed up, and now it's falling apart
Construction contractor Ardmore downs tools under weight of historical building safety claims which have left them owing more than they have. As a result, many existing sites are now at a standstill and concerns rise that other contractors will follow suit as the chain of blame is passed down the line. Regardless, this get out of jail card for companies will leave leaseholders trapped for longer and Labour further from their housing target @tomhtimes @thetimes bit.ly/4erbRma
