An oldie but a goodie. In 1968 a bunch of entitled hippy bastards sent a letter detailing their specious demands to the Warden and Fellows of Wadham College, Oxford. This was their letter of reply, which speaks to how far the academy has since fallen.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham criticises Angela Rayner for including a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc in her survival kit “I’m not sure that’s the top of the list… You need to have a clear head in a challenging situation. Some tins of food, bottled water. People are allowed a glass or two”

Well I've just been fired as the @AtlantaFalcons graphic designer, despite introducing what I was assured were callbacks to the Renaissance and high romanticism with a heavy art deco and classic Roman influence Anyway #OpenToWork

The Maltese Falcon was released 85 years ago today! Starring Humphrey Bogart in his first leading role as private eye Sam Spade, the film became one of the defining classics of film noir. In the words of Bogie's famous ad lib, it was "the, uh, stuff that dreams are made of."
