I’m so proud of Gavin Bazunu. He’s provided a yardstick for courage that his so-called teammates will eternally be judged as failing to live up to

Playing the game would have meant some discontent at the Austria game at the Aviva no matter what, but the way today has panned out, I foresee a lot of anger raining down on the players from the stands. The atmosphere could be mutinous… if enough people care to show up

Sometimes certain people in these spaces can just be bad people and they use liberation coded language to gain personal power over other people for petty reasons. There's absolutely no understanding of the bigger picture. Communities have to be better at separating out toxic people.

One of the reasons I think this went viral even in queer circles is because everyone has seen this dynamic play out in some form in our spaces. We need a better way to root out toxic people utilizing the language of liberation in narcissistic and sociopathic ways to dominate spaces.

The decision should have been made by the FAI but the players are a legitimate target for the boycott. When social-minded footballers are told "shut up and play", we criticise that attitude. Well the door swings both ways. They should be scrutinised for just shutting up and playing in this situation

Tom Cruise makes so little attempt to provide good faith answers the questions he’s asked in that GQ interview, I’m wondering if they should have been pulled it as a Q&A and just written about how bizarre the whole thing was

Why did Russian authorities tolerate Yabloko for so long and why did they move now to silence the party at the polls?

Jaye P. Morgan has passed away, age 94. Years ago I wrote about the brilliant mid-career pop-funk reinvention album she recorded with David Foster. Have a look/listen. The piece also got me cited on the “Nudity in American television” Wikipedia page…

The Funky Reinvention of Jaye P. Morgan

Best known for her ’50s big band hits, the TV host surprised everyone with this R&B masterpiece.

It's amusing that Dáithí Ó Sé is exactly 50 because he's one of those people who has and always will look 50. He's spent years on the harsh side of that blade but from now on will reap the benefits

It’s funny to think that YouTube comments were once considered the height of toxicity. Most I see now are like “My wife and I saw this band on our first date in 1978 and we’re still married”
