- I have always detested email, but it does have two saving graces. 1/ My phone stopped ringing ca. 2012, except in those rare cases when someone has something substantial to say. 2/ Reports of its supposed evanescence have been greatly exaggerated, as Epstein's partners in crime are finding out.

- Comedy gold.
- A clear sign that straight people are not OK is that the new Wuthering Heights film is being marketed as a romance. I haven't seen it, but the novel is about as romantic as Pride and Prejudice, that is to say not at all. It's dark, brutal, sadistic. Nellie Dean is a very scary lady.

I’ve literally been working on this for 16 years trying to amplify this underground gay music scene. - Josh Cheon interviewed by the Guardian www.theguardian.com/music/2026/f...

- I am impressed by how many innocent people turn up in the Epstein papers. All of them pure as the driven snow and totally unaware of any wrongdoing. Who knew Epstein was surrounded by such a saintly cohort.
- Also known to music lovers as "It's Gonna Rain" Day.
- I remember attending a disastrous production of Lady Windermere's Fan in Paris a few years ago. The actors were under the impression that Mrs. Erlynne's name was pronounced er-LINE. I am surprised that I managed to sit through it all without interrupting.

- Correct. It also underscores how much it depends on sexual affinities, on "private" dalliances shaping power relations by coopting some and excluding others. I have long been fascinated by how massively *heterosexual* the whole revolting mess is: so far, Mandelson is the only exception. You...
- For some reason, "tranche" is one of the most unattractive English words I can think of -- whereas it is a perfectly ordinary French word, one about which I have no strong feelings of any kind.
- Tim Cook may well be the only person to have sat through a complete screening (and lived to tell the tale).
- A time-honoured tradition in Paris is that the production *always* gets booed and no one ever pays any attention at all to the music.
- I still have my old Facebook account (though I don't use it any more). I opened it tonight, and what passes for my timeline is now full of AI-generated stuff about deceased pets. WTAF??
- This was taken in Rome last October (the Fori Imperiali?).
