29 years ago, the @nytimes published an article criticising Federico Fellini and some other foreign language films, calling them "hard work". MARTIN SCORSESE sent this incredible letter in response.

Went into town today to check out the opening of the Iveagh Market doors to the public (big thanks to @OldDublinTown for the heads up). I felt like crying. Its an absolute disgrace that this beautiful building has been allowed to fall into this state of decay!

On the 25th anniversary of the release of #Squarepusher debut "Feed Me Weird Things" here's an insightful interview with Tom Jenkinson conducted by my friend Jonathan O'Riordan, who has since sadly passed away. Remembering great music and great friends. m.mixcloud.com/LoveRhino/squ…

So, to be clear, we have pubs and streets packed with people who can drink to the point of diminished spatial awareness, we can even see films or get on planes and sit right next to strangers... but no live entertainment. Silencing artists who won’t accept BS is so transparent.

When smartphone cameras became a real thing, UFOs & Bigfoot (that were never there) miraculously vanished and the racism, police brutality, and xenophobia (that were always there) became glaringly visible.
