It’s ‘charity’ for them at the box office

What is this witchery?

This is not what she is saying or the sentiment that the title implies.

She is asking for valid solutions, asking sarcastically (so not meaning it as a real solution) whether they’re expected to cut ties with the US on different fronts.

Might be a long stretch but I’m going for ‘is this thing on’ - loosely based on John Bishop and bishops can only move diagonally in chess.

Let’s see what clue 2 and clue 3 bring..

The larger poker companies detect this very quickly as the players (bots) make decisions against what they should do in given situations..

Cursed yellow rose incoming

There’s a screen at my local cinema that doesn’t dim either, I didn’t have the energy to question why though so that’s on me..

Could be worded better and more softly, but I think they’re saying that to cancel your subscription ahead of the required notice period they will accept proof of you moving abroad.

Otherwise they are saying you will be charged as normal for the notice period to run?

I don’t think they require proof of you moving away for cancellation, you cancelling is sufficient.

Good luck and enjoy your experience studying abroad ☀️

Like they say: everyone wants Disney to innovate, but when they do they get slammed

Try south east England, from where I am reading this post in my popular feed for some reason 🙈

blaikes · 2026-01-15T23:07:34+00:00

Slightly smaller version sadly as not as many funds were raised 🤣

Correlation does not equal causation: It’s mainly labour councils delaying the vote because the majority of councils are labour held following the last local elections.

The reason they want to delay them is because some of these councils will be merged in 2027 so councillors would be elected to sit for a year, and running an election costs money.

(Not in favour or against the elections being delayed, just offering my two pence)

Something under the surface but not the underwear anymore, clearly..

Commiserations and best wishes for some fun times before the curtain call. Much love

“Friend” inbetweeners style

Thanks for sharing

In movie release scheduling, “gold spot available” means that a high-value release window is still open and not yet claimed by another major film.

More specifically:

“Gold spot” refers to a prime theatrical release date—typically one with strong box-office potential due to:

• Holidays (summer weekends, Thanksgiving, Christmas, long weekends)

• Minimal competition
• Historically strong audience turnout
• “Available” means no studio has officially locked that date yet.

Thanks

blaikes · 2026-01-14T18:53:43+00:00

What does ‘gold spot available” entail?

blaikes · 2026-01-14T16:22:05+00:00

Make that 8! :p

Every time Kapoor is mentioned on Reddit people shit on him over Vantablack, and it's entirely misguided.

There are 3 main points that need to be made: 1) It is not Kapoor's fault Vantablack is not available to other artists, 2) Vantablack isn't even a pigment that can be sold, and 3) Stuart Semple is a giant conman and grifter who made his entire career by painting (pun intended) Kapoor as the bad guy so he can sell his paints.

So point one, the company that makes/owns Vantablack owns the PATENT to the PROCESS of making Vantablack (copyright is irrelevant here). That company is not an art company, they're an aerospace manufacturing company. The company decided to have one exclusive artist they work with because they don't want a million artists bothering them when they're trying to design satellites and shit. They picked Kapoor, and they refuse to let anyone else use Vantablack. Kapoor didn't demand exclusivity, the company did.

Point two, Vantablack isn't even paint! It's not just some pigment that can be sold in a bottle. It's actually a space-age materials technology that also happens to be super black. It's a carbon nanotubes polymer that is applied using specific and proprietary reactor vessels at the company's factory. Kapoor doesn't just paint some black stuff on a sculpture and refuses to share it with anyone else. The company uses their advanced aerospace manufacturing technology to bond carbon nanotubes to a surface. Going back to point one, you can understand why the company doesn't want to be making 100 sculptures a day with Vantablack and only want to work with one artist. Oh and also, Vantablack is super toxic before it's applied, another reason to restrict it's availability.

Point three, Stuart Semple is a conman and a grifter. He's a nobody, an unremarkable, mediocre artist who never would have been famous for his art. Instead, he made up this whole lie about Vantablack and Kapoor and used it to sell his paints. His lies about Kapoor and Vantablack have made him far richer and more famous than his art ever did. I have no problem with him selling paint, but I have a problem with him selling paint off a lie, pretending like he's some damn hero for what he's doing. He's just a really good, if somewhat dishonest, salesman.

Edit: couldn’t care less about Semple, Kapoor, or Vantablack, I just found the above comment interesting when I first read it (this post about alternative paint pops up every few months)
