I watched „Pressure“ tonight and there were a lot of men looking as manly as possible, a sensible lady and Andrew Scott. The whole experience was elevated by the fact that we all realized we had forgotten when d-day was so the movie kept us guessing 😂

as a Veteran of Ye Olde Flamewars: There have been excessively toxic fandoms, hurting actual people BUT it has gotten a new quality. especially because writers and actors are now out there, interacting with us. the level of entitlement has upped, plus a new very unhealthy purity wave

The mayoral discourse in Berlin continues to be *utterly* unhinged. If the AfD had topped the polls the narrative would be “finally the people have been heard!” but since the Left won, it’s all “Queer Islamofascists and Woke are trying to conquer us with, er, affordable rents!”

When you go into a writer's mentions to tell them all about how terrible they are for having written a book, you are only showing your own inability to imagine that anyone else in the world exists.

Right now, all over Britain, there are people without podcasts. Some opinions are going unspoken, a few moments undocumented. But it doesn't need to be like this. Just £50 a month could buy these middle aged men a pop shield for their microphone. Text TEARS to 84199 and give everyone a voice.

I had a wonderful professor in grad school who was always ready with the best comparisons, and once, while discussing a draft, he said, "You wouldn't invite me over to your house and then serve me a bowl of flour and a stick of butter." and that is what I think about when I think about tropes
