Jason Arday might have lied about the amount he was paid to write a book. Michael Gove literally bragged the £10bn stolen during the Covid PPE scam was an 'honest mistake'. One was instantly forgotten about, the other was hounded to his death.

I'm just pivoting to boomer meme posting I think
Zoom meetings are just modern seances

"There's someone who wants to join us."
"Elisabeth are you there?"
"We can't hear you."
'Can you hear us?"

A reminder that when the Sycamore Gap tree was cut down people immediately started blaming immigrants and teenagers... It was neither. It was two white Englishmen in their 30s.

Monday nights on BBC2 were Twin Peaks nights. I'd recently returned to college to study drama, all our break time convos seemed to revolve around this extraordinary show. A massive talent and it feels like a massive loss. #RipDavidLynch
