Les enfants Pop français! 🇫🇷 C'est le premier tweet d'un fil de 281 (deux cent quatre-vingt-un) tweets couvrant les 10 premières années de carrière de Sylvie Vartan, pas un seul tweet montrant quelques couvertures de magazines aléatoires! Plongez-y! 🌺
The best first-time listens in 2026…..

Tallies with recent promotions at Royal Ballet which I’m too polite to be more specific about
The bell tolls for National Gallery, London. Yesterday, the NG announced plans for sweeping changes. Phrases such as "taking an audience- and customercentric approach in everything we do", "removing barriers to engagement" and "reach new, more diverse visitors" will send a chill down your spine.

Up on The Unwatched & Failing Peter Walker Film Channel, a fantastique romantic melodrama and another film with the The Voice of Renée Saint-Cyr. Click CC for 🏴 subs (translated from 🇫🇷 into a form of 🏴 using Google Translate and then polished to perfection by….me).

Another thread. The best cover versions I’ve stumbled on from around the 🌍.
Monster monster cover of Daddy Cool from Malaysia’s (?) Ervinna & The Glass Onion

We’re in the ridiculous position of having the Conservative leader claim her ‘specific ethnicity’ is Yoruban (as ‘Nigerian’ 👎🏻 is too broad and negative a term) while also believing she’s as ethnically English as someone whose ancestors have been here ~1000 years.
“The only thing you "have to be" in order to be English is descended from English ancestors.”
Which I am.
Does my English heritage not count? Is it inconvenient for the ethnonationalists?
Until recently I never thought this distinction was necessary. Surely Charlie should be keen to ensure everyone with English heritage is recorded accurately in the Census.

English fashion designer Ken Fleetwood was born #OnThisDay in 1930. He designed this black and white silk evening dress with a printed skirt and polka dot bodice for Hardy Amies in 1968-70. It was worn by fashion editor Ernestine Carter. @V_and_A collection. #fashionhistory
…..and Daliah Lavi. You will struggle to find a more deft and delicate way with a black marker pen.

I thought this was yet another killer 🇩🇪 cover of Hot Love but unglaublich Bolan doesn’t get even a partial writing credit on the record label, it goes to Schneider/Siebholz. Still absolut großartig though (and even better than the Mon Thys👆🏻)….

She looks like the bass player in every Dutch rock band 1968-72. As anyone with knowledge of Dutch Rock 🇳🇱🤘🏻from that period will appreciate, THIS IS NOT A COMPLIMENT. #Damning #TruthHurts #Q65 #TheOutsiders
Swedish activist Greta Thunberg arrived at COP31, her first time attending the climate summit since 2021.
Thunberg called out politicians, saying they were “spending their time on distractions with racist and fascist discourse.” wapo.st/4kIKfxp
