Another day spent mourning my decision to vote for DC mark II.

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*

This is what I think of as a specific kind of ignorance that heavily affects young white guys who work in tech. It says “i don’t know about this, so I assume no one else does either.” It’s new to them, so it must be new to everybody!

Guys horrible thought but what if the 2010s were the good times. Like what if that's as good as it got...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The part of your brain the creates and the part of your brain that edits are different. When you edit while writing, you switch your mode of thinking and can gum up the works, so to speak, knocking yourself out of your groove. Correct obvious mistakes, but knock out your pages and edit them after.

podcast idea: "the dead can't sue", in which people say the stuff everyone knows about a famous person but couldn't say while they were alive due to libel laws. ideally it'd be produced in advance, like an obituary, so it could be published within twenty-four hours of their death.

Why we attributed leaving a party without saying goodbye to both the French and the Irish when it's the most British behaviour of them all

This pod is magical anyway but now Nigella (??) is on talking about how she's going to rewatch Riders over Christmas? A gentle and giddy delight.

Next I want Judi Dench chatting through her favourite Star Wars

Another thing I hate about Carrie is her faux shock and scorn toward New York SOCIALITES and MODELS doing coke at parties. Grow up.

Now I enjoy Harry Hill clips as much as the next person but it really must be panic stations over at twitter

well this is just like a nice warm bath isn't it
