I thought third place playoff would be a humiliation ritual because we would lose 3-0, instead it is a humiliation ritual because France have shrugged and not turned up, leaving us to look like desperate keen weirdos

Look, for about 10 minutes of my life I truly believed England were going to a World Cup final, and that’s magic in its own way.

Yep. There it is. You got to treat Argentina like fucking Dracula, they’re never dead the first time.

True praxis would be both teams abandoning the match in the name of class solidarity and climbing the stands to escort Infantino to the guillotine

If you showed a photo of Messi to someone out of context they’d be like yeah he was really helpful down the post office last week doing my passport photo

Look I don’t want to take too much credit but I was staring at Bellingham willing him to remember he’s one of the best footballers in the world AND THEN

gutted for Egypt. If it’s any consolation (and why would it be) watching a 2-0 lead slip away is a very England thing to do

I love that a ref can book people who aren’t even playing. Wish I had a bit of paper I could wave at people that meant “piss off now”

A post! A rare and delicious post! My Substack maternity leave ends with, as you would expect, some rambles about genre and suchlike truestory.substack.com/p/the-mummy-...

Catherine O’Hara steamrolling through the Deetz house, spray painting “mauve” on the walls, shrieking about her art, possessed by Harry Belafonte music, all glittery white teeth and furious eyes 🖤 the best, collaborating with the best, everyone else just had to get out of her way

Perfect perfect perfect outcome, unexpectedly moving, narratively satisfying, and once again the real winner is television. Throw BAFTAs at it #TheTraitors

Rachel and Stephen have Prisoners Dilemma’d THEMSELVES, truly the greatest show of all time #TheTraitors

The thing you have to understand about Fiona is that she’s a fey. A dark sprite. She hails of the Unseelie Court. She is not bound by our human laws of ‘order’ and ‘truth’ #TheTraitors

also not to pit women against each other but I've seen a lot of praise for Jade's eyeshadow and no acknowledgement of Jessie keeping her whole colour palette on theme for the duration like a beloved anime character #TheTraitors

Can't believe Rachel tried to pull "traitor says what" Can't believe it worked #TheTraitors

Shocked, shocked I tell you to see the 30something straight white men drifting into an alliance like “can’t put my finger on it, but I just trust this guy” #TheTraitors
