I’m just hoping Sky doesn’t start a nuclear war with Russia before Prisoner 2 comes out.

Tennessee has had two failed executions this year. The death penalty should be abolished. Christa Pike wasn’t afraid to die. She was afraid they would screw it up and make her suffer. Which is exactly what happened. We shouldn’t allow the government to kill people.

Sometimes you remember in America the state is legally allowed to murder people and it all makes sense. Depraved people.

my initial read on the Cornell 7 case is that we’re likely to have an overdue national conversation about the voluntary intoxication loophole.

I’m telling you… the stories from my divine, warm, loving, gorgeous female friends about their dates with men, men who should be so FUCKING LUCKY to breathe the same air as these women, and they arrive crabby, disinterested, have shit chat, no charm, no curiosity, and y’all wonder why you’re lonely?

Listening to Simon Schama on TRIH talking about the French Revolution and almost feeling nostalgic about the massive backlash he got for his book Citizens. Like...imagine being cancelled for high-intellectual reasons? Like people arguing about historiography. It's kind of a slay.

Maybe this is a problematic boomer take and sue me but I’m so aware as I age how Queer spaces for LGBTQ women have this self imposed pressure to represent THE ENTIRE POLITICAL LEFT in a way that is so boring and you almost never see the same in Queer male spaces. They just get to have vibes.

As always Lindsay Ellis comes out with a video that sounds a bit ridiculous and fun and then somehow manages to be political and interesting and relentlessly funny. Anyway check out her 2 hour YouTube video on cruise liners. An industry I already thought to be galactically evil.

Kinda think there should be some kind of amnesty for ‘Covid crimes’. Like it was a weird time. People did weird shit. Let’s just forget about it? Unless you took ££££ in tax payer money to fake a PPE pipeline in which case jail.

Really happy to see Arteta (close to) renewing. It’s not spoken about enough because people don’t like him or Arsenal, but what he’s achieved here - in his first senior role - is totally unprecedented. Our sporting and cultural lighthouse, and key to things moving forward.

There's something to be said about how in the US CS Lewis is seen as a writer of Christian apologetics above all else & as a result Narnia is *only* seen as allegory, while in Britain he's seen as an author of beloved children's books, & we find the whole "the lion is Jesus" stuff a bit embarrassing

That’s the worst I’ve seen Arsenal play in a long time. Brighton with two unbelievable finishes but they’ve been miles better across the pitch. Our midfield has been shocking and forget about the second balls. Going to be difficult to get a result from here.

Brighton have made it v tough, but Arsenal were so far below par. Starting early on at the back from Raya, defenders giving them too much space for the shots that led to the goals, no midfield control, not winning 2nd balls, no attacking threat. Awful stuff. A lot to do to get anything from this
