#Midsommar hot take
The original theatrical release is better than the director's cut.
One thing about the director's cut is the night time scene. I like how the cut down movie is all in daylight and the night time scene breaks that. I also didn't like the argument between Dani and Christian because it was a little to explanatory (when it's quite clear what their relationship is doing). It also puts the reason they stay all on Christian. I prefer the cut down version because it makes Dani more unsure and hesitant. I think that works better. I like how it more or less implies they see no reason to leave.
There's also a scene with a boy which I don't think is necessary. It's not a bad scene but not needed.
Other than that we do see more of Christian's toxic personality and his thesis battle with his friend shows a bit more how shitty Christian is being.
Overall though I think the cut down version has some very nice cuts in it, where action is just cut short but you still understand what's going on.
And one last:
That May Pole scene is just wonderful and I can watch it again and again. I’ve already seen the movie three times in about two weeks. There are a few great moments but I love the May Pole part.

I'm sure Andy Burnham will fix the #Labour party by uniting a bunch of crooked, right-leaning, lousy politicians and make the part electable again.

Sorry, but we cannot free, free Palestine because Keir Starmer has proscribed the freeing of oppressed people as anti-Semitic.

I can't imagine anything more gripping than a bunch of Labour politicians competing for the leadership.*
*I can think of a ka-squillion things

I was considering whether to include a final (kind of) space battle at the end of the novel I'm currently writing. It's a battle that features in my last novel but is more of a side event. And in this novel, the novel ends before the battle happens.
But then I realised that if I wrote further novels I'd start one of them with that space battle. I think that would make a good opener.
You know, maybe that will happen.

The next big 'idea' in advertising will be a string of ads from different products from different companies all using the same actor or object or theme so people will go, 'Wow! It's like the same advert but for different companies!' and they'll go onto social media to talk about it.
You heard it here first!

"But note this: racism is not central to the media discourse about Reform. However often the profound racism of its members and candidates is exposed, none of it sticks to the party itself. None of it stains the moral character of Farage as leader.
Contrast that with the treatment of the Greens since their new leader, Zack Polanski, took the party from irrelevance a year ago to membership numbers of 230,000 ... But he spent much of the local election campaign defending himself and his party from the constant accusation that the Greens were institutionally antisemitic."

#JonathanCook | If Starmer gets his way, Reform - not the Greens - will be his legacy
"It will be the same hidden hand, belonging to the same Epstein class, that nudges Starmer’s successor to the forefront in the coming months.
But Labour, offering only a game of catch-up with the right, is doomed electorally."

There was someone following me who didn't like John Coltrane and it occurred to me that they hadn't listened to Ole which is absolutely superb and doesn't have a lot of John Coltrane performing in it.
I mean, he does perform in it, but it's so piano, bass and drums heavy and it brilliantly uses different musicians with different instruments to take turns to perform the Ole riff.
The part that blew me off my feet was when one of the double basses is played with a bow to play the riff. It's just brilliant and ridiculous at the same time.
I was going to ask that follower what they thought of Ole because it's genius and isn't all sax. But it turns out they soft blocked me, so I'll guess I'll never know.
And I guess they might never get to listen to Ole.

#CraigMurray | Zionism Has Poisoned the UK’s Central Nervous System
"The media have spent the last several days since the local elections studiously ignoring the fact that support for Genocide is a key factor in alienating the Labour Party’s traditional voting base – or when they do mention it, relating it only to Muslim voters. One thing we know for certain is that any probable new Prime Minister is not going to change Britain’s support for the genocidal zionist entity."
