Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

"You can't call someone a traitor just because they've got a better vocabulary than you"

Ok Alan Carr is just iconic.

Thinking of songs that would be ideal for John Lewis to turn into plinky sad piano music for their advert:

Firestarter by The Prodigy
Jesus Built my Hotrod by Ministry
Back Door Santa by Clarence Carter
Closer by NIN

Nearly didn't get up. First alarm was ignored. Second alarm got me moving with only limited regrets.
Now I have tea and will soon gym.

The problem of course is that women will vote for misogynists, but men won’t vote for women.

Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Cuomo keeps suggesting "a 9/11" could happen if Mamdani was mayor. But THE 9/11 happened when Giuliani was mayor and it was back when he was America's Favourite Mayor.

I don't know, lads, I think Cuomo might be doing a desperate racism.
