Good analysis of the 67 Pall Mall controversy from Felicity Carter. But “you don’t know that and you can’t prove it” is what I would expect from a defence lawyer in The Wire rather than a spokesperson for The 67 Pall Mall Global Wine Communicator Awards. www.drinksinsider.com/p/did-a-chat...

I'm a staunch abolitionist so I don't believe it will be jail as a solution but truth and reconciliation with teeth. And reparations.

One day, everybody will have been against this. And there has to be a reckoning with those who “both sides” it or we can’t move forward as a society.

A six year old does not deserve to be in poverty. Full stop.⁣ ⁣ Every kid in poverty is a policy failure. But since kids don't have separate incomes, you can't help the kid without helping the household they're in. That's the whole political tension. youtu.be/gL2kxIbPitU

Ode to the Big Mac I did and did not eat: Im sorry to my body for all the years of not fuelling it in the name of aesthetics. But this is not at all enjoyable. And makes me question, again, whether we ought to eat meat. Thank you for the labour that brought it to my door at this ungodly hour.

I watched The Apprentice last week and it was genuinely unsettling. Well written, acted and directed. But he’s such an unpleasant character that watching was painful. I legitimately cannot fathom how his fans think.

I think there’s something about his sincerity that’s deeply unsettling. Like, I’m not sure I’m prepared for a world where we actually mean what we say and only that. I’m more comfortable in what a friend called “a nightmarish, Oscar Wilde theme park.”

I genuinely think that one of the biggest feminist challenges right now is that feminism was so successful that a lot of people can’t even imagine what the world was like before it.

Of all the things I hate doing, editing AI documents is way up at the top of the list. So many unnecessary words. Too many punchy short sentences. They don’t go anywhere except an unnecessarily dramatic conclusion.
