Holy shit I am at a truly great movie theatre in Harrogate. It has a vibe I don’t even want to try to describe other than to say I love it. everymancinema.com/harrogate
it keeps getting better!
I saw Last Night In Soho here and it was the ideal place to see it. Also, the film has a wild, vibrant energy and is worth seeing big and loud, really thrilling.
Oh! I ordered a coffee here and it did NOT taste like burnt corn and was actually quite delicious, so it is in fact possible to get a decent cup of coffee in England.

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to
force a refresh
I was thinking about the most offensive job offer I have ever received, that I never tweeted about because they had me sign an NDA before we talked about it.
But I just went back and read the NDA and it says I was supposed to be paid for my time and I never was, so…
So I got a DM here on Twitter. An org that did not want to reveal who they were liked my writing and my social media presence. They had a pop culture positivity-centric project and they wanted to know if I was interested in writing for it.
I was definitely curious!
The project was secret-secret because the org wanted to keep it feeling organic and like it sprang fully formed from them. Thus the NDA.
So uh I’m about to see how fast I can get kicked out of a virtual event
I don’t understand half of the words or any of the acronyms in this email. I’m sure some of you do, but please don’t spoil the surprise for me. I’m RSVPing right now.
Warning: the following thread contains both audiophile wankery AND Billy Joel
I generally like Billy Joel. There might be some Stockholm Syndrome involved, since Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits Volumes I & II was the second compact disc I ever purchased and I got my money’s worth by listening to it a lot.
Don’t ask me why (ha ha) but my oldest, age 16, went on a Billy Joel kick for a while. He learned to play the Piano Man harmonica riff, that was his commitment level.
So anyways when the big audiophile hi-res digital Billy Joel Complete Albums Collection came out, I got it.
2) I don’t object to “power user” features having a cost — the service as it was continues to be free. SOMEONE has to pay the bill and ads alone don’t seem to be cutting it.
3) I haven’t tried the other two launch features but I’d need more overall to continue paying for Twitter Blue. But give me, say, the opportunity to decide what items go into my Activity feed? You can raise the price to $10.
Whelp, one day of using Twitter Blue and I have to say that the Undo feature is useful and very well implemented. It’s subtle, not a pain, and has prompted me to proofread most of my tweets before hitting send.
Is that worth $3? Who knows.
Hilariously I’m tweeting this from the account that does NOT have Twitter Blue and so I expected to get a shot at proofreading that tweet and didn’t get it.
(Because you sign up on a per-account basis and currently can only sign up once per AppleID)
Anyways if this was all a ploy to get me using the official Twitter app again, it worked
