The "what a piece of work is a man" Hamlet soliloquy at the end of Withnail & I is the greatest ever recorded performance of it and nothing else comes close. Better than Olivier, Button, Branagh, the lot. Seriously. Look for yourself, see if you can find one as good. You won't.

It's interesting that hip-hop went through a similar transition from the 2000s to the 2020s as rock music did from the 70s to the 90s, becoming less & less about clarity & virtuosity & more about texture, mood, atmosphere. For rock, this was the final frontier before exhaustion.

This Henry Novak issue is crazy because actively both of these children are children of migration, but we’re flying flags of ‘Britain’ because he was white killed by someone brown.
This just shows it’s never been about your country, and just about your race.
