This position is pretty great for cracking your upper back periodically and if done weekly (holding the pose for ~3+ minutes, possibly in addition to the other stretches depicted) can definitely improve your posture a bit. (N.B. video is kind of a summary/ad for a paid program that's like £45)

It's been a year-long journey to be able to do this one, but once I got it, I immediately felt the benefit. So good for your upper back and core especially. I feel like the world is my oyster whenever I do it.
NOTE: I've messed up my neck and shoulders very bad doing it in the past, so proper instruction is key!

This works really well if you have a bad back. I got a basketball injury 4 years ago and recently started doing this everyday. I like the “Happy Baby” pose. Anything knee to chest that decompresses the spine. For years I was doing the Cobra Stretch, which crushes the disks towards the lower back. If you have lower back problems, don’t do this one.

Finally saw this for the first time (on 35mm thxx Prince Charles Cinema) and wow. Jonathan Glazer and co-writer Jean-Claude Carrière spending all of pre-production re-writing the script without informing the studio… DP Harris Savides pushing the boundaries of underexposed film and getting the craziest deepest browns and purples out of Kodak stock… Alexandre Desplat starting with what seems like a very polite classical score and then gradually bringing in heavy synth bass… and of course Nicole Kidman throwing herself headlong into an insane role (and apparently bullying the producers for more $$$ when they finished under budget)

The less you read about it (or look at maps) the better. Just enter via Haight Street, turn your phone off and wander 'til you reach the ocean. If you go on a Sunday afternoon and you didn't already come across it, proceed to turn your phone back on and track back to the 6th Avenue Skate Park to check out the roller disco party 🛼🔊😎

Because of the extensive tradition of pirate radio in the UK (from Radio Caroline on down), London probably has the most insane landscape of 24/7 internet radio in the world. I've tried to rank these in terms of approximate popularity ranging from NTS (as mentioned) on down to purely DIY weekend-only amateur collectives like LWSTD. If you don't know the stations in your city, just have a quick google and do some Instagram "Following" list exploration and it should be pretty easy to find more (e.g. in Amsterdam check out Echobox, Radio Tempo Não Pára, RRFM, etc...)
