A look back on the weird year that 2024 has been from start to finish: (a thread)

I still can’t get over the Murder on the Dancefloor resurgence on the charts

Truly my favourite moment in this year’s series of The Traitors was this bombshell in week one, delivered in a way that was so camp. It’s like it was straight out of a true crime documentary 😭 I’ll never get over it x

There were some sad losses in the entertainment industry 😢

Do you think this thread has “an air of f*ggotry”?

I think my ultimate moment of 2024 might be Daisy May Cooper using a crushed up dishwasher tablet to try and remove expired fake tan from her face. This whole saga deserves a TV miniseries starring Sheridan Smith

To hear about the iconic Olivia Hussey’s passing is really upsetting. “Black Christmas” is one of my favourite films of all time. The eeriness and tension built throughout is just phenomenal. Olivia’s portrayal was stunning as one of the first final girls in history. R.I.P 🕊️
