Clippers Lose Series to Trailblazers 2016 NBA Playoffs

I know it's fashionable to make fun of the #Clippers but those poor chaps played their hearts out, esp polarizing #Austin #Rivers. #NBA

High-Rise

#HighRise: Deliciously demented unsubtle satire from Brit genre wunderkind Wheatley. #Hiddleston & Evans highlight a veddy impressive cast.

Tale of Tales

#TaleOfTales: Way-out-there fairy tales not quite suitable for the little ones. Quite a feast for the eyes well directed by Garrone.

A Hologram for the King

Liverpool Stunning Ccomeback vs. Borussia Dortmund

Still not sure what the #Europa league is, but that insane #LFC win against #BVB was just bonkers! #Klopp really is #Liverpool's magic man!

Golden State Warriors Win 73 Games

I worship at the altar of #MJ, but we need to turn the page. Congrats to #Warriors on #73! PS. Those '96 #Bulls are becoming annoying no?

Gutted for poor #Jordan #Spieth, but kudos to Danny #Willett on shooting 67 to win #Masters. Not a lot of champion golfers from #Sheffield!

Nothing surprises me anymore, the worst pocket of backwardness is North and East, rest are doing well. It's a vicious cycle now.
