really does feel, as an ideology, like to them there is A Norm, and you can either obey The Norm and be exactly like everyone else, or you can be A Freak and not be meaningfully welcome in society, and everyone should be trying their hardest to fit The Norm a sad view of the world!

Part of the reason a lot of super rich people are so awful is that when normal people get an absurd amount of money, they immediately start looking around for who they can help.

Very much this but TBH also if I know you specifically for one main role the first time I see you in something else my brain will go "(insert character name) what are you doing here?!?". My brain was doing this with MANY of the smaller actors playing background roles in the Odyssey.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

The polar opposite reactions here to the deaths of Sam Neill and Lindsey Graham are such a reminder that we all have a choice whether to live our lives in a way that brings joy or misery to those around us. I think if you’re remembered fondly as Sam Neill is today, you’ve pretty much won at life.

The US side of my bluesky is making zombie/ghost movie references about McConnell and the UK side is just endless jokes about Count Binface. It is a weird day to be on the internet.

If Muslims or members of the Asian and Black community had set fire to white people’s homes with children running for their lives, do you think we would be discussing legitimate concerns or focussing on who radicalised them and ideological and contributing cultural factors?

If Scott Mills committed a crime he absolutely should lose his job. The issue I am having here is that CPS decided not to prosecute. And whilst that doesn't mean he didn't do it, legally it is innocent until proven guilty. So why is BBC sacking now? Is this a Huw Edwards overcorrection?

I am not defending Scott Mills but I cannot understand two things: 1. Why after several decades are the Met Police divulging private information about a case where CPS declined to prosecute? 2. If there was no realistic case to prosecute, why has the BBC summarily sacked him? Transparency is key.

Happy #WorldBookDay2026. The French writer and philosopher Voltaire once said 'Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world.' 📚 He also drank up to 50 cups of coffee a day, often mixed with chocolate. I think we're onboard with this.

Worth saying that the Churchillian fantasy involved Britain at the pivot of three international relationships: Atlanticist, European and Commonwealth. We torched one, another is collapsing in real time, and the third is at best flimsy. It would be good to face reality some time soon.
