I remember an episode of HIGNFY where Ian Hislop referred to him as "Jeffrey Archer, the liar", which drew the usual "allegedly" response from Angus Deighton. To which Hislop's response was "no, he was convicted of perjury in the High Court, that's a FACT", with great triumph and glee.

He'd quoted Gladstone as saying "whenever the Irish question looks like it's going to be solved... the Irish change the question." A boy called Slater raised his hand and politely pointed out that it wasn't Gladstone but a line from 1066 and All That and Archer completely and embarrassingly lost it

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.

From CBS News: "Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died."

Deepak Karra (deepak_karra on IG) captured this shot of a pink robin, native to the forests of South Australia & Tasmania. In technical terms, this is a bird shaped like an orb, or 'BORB'. 🐦🟣 Reminder that this little guy is a direct descendant of theropod dinosaurs like T. rex. (📷: Deepak Karra)

A poof of bright pink belly feathers that looks like one of those fuzzy pencil-toppers is surmounted by a dark grey head in which is a wary dark eye. It's gripping a pink flowering branch that changes from nearly vertical to actually vertical, requiring a sort of death grip by the legs.

If you want to see how ingrained protecting men from accountability is, take a look at the comments here. To be clear, this is someone who committed sexual assault managing the narrative after the truth came out, not someone taking accountability.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

It can seem pointless to note Russian war crimes right now, this is their STRATEGY, not a byproduct. Causing exhaustion, fear, deaths, hunger, cold as winter comes. Then get invited by Trump to G20. BUT it needs to be noted, recorded, by the sane parts of the world, for responses and consequences.

Manual labor isn’t romantic but it’s *actually* essential in a way that mine is not. I wish we spent less time on soft-focus paeans and more on making these irreplaceable jobs as safe and physically undemanding as possible + remunerated in proportion to how screwed we’d be without that work.

It's interesting to me that the American authors conservatives deem acceptable/non-woke/masculine--your Steinbecks, Cormac McCarthys, Faulkners, Hemingways etc--all identify brutality as the fundamental language and original sin of the United States. There's nothing very patriotic about their work.

ICE builds more prisons because the goal is explicitly to warehouse surplus labor, criminalize poverty, and assert total control over all of society. When Stephen Miller claims there are 25, 30, or even 50 million "illegal immigrants" in the US, he's betting on how many of us he'll need to imprison
