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.

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

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”

We did! We live in a flat so could only get an indoor cat so our first was FIV+ and also q elderly, and our second was adopted from London Inner City Kitties (aka LICK) who only adopt out indoor cats as standard due to either health or the circumstances of their rescue.

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
