HR is not a sexy hockey show. It's a show about sexy guys who sometimes play hockey. The sport is never erotic and the locker room is just a room. The porn scenario is abandoned but the romance machinery is rather... hollow? This bothered me. So I wrote 8000 words trying to make sense of it.

Exactly! The defence is hilarious because it's obvious that Mandelson didn't even lie to him. "The Prince of Darkness always lies" unless he's among his Dark Council
Can't stop laughing at Keir Starmer's defence being "I asked the Prince of Darkness 'are you telling me the truth?' and he said 'yes' and now I have discovered that I was LIED to by the Prince of Darkness! The Prince of Darkness LIED to me!"

Deep down I always hoped a massive Bitcoin crash would have coincided with that lad finally finding his crypto hard drive in that landfill site in Newport.

The Brazilian federal police detained me for an hour as I had once overstayed a visa by accident for two weeks.

After giving me a lecture on immigration policies, they released me.

If I had been a Brazilian in the United States, I'd be in jail.

Brazilian Federal Police Detain Melk, But Release Him After Lecture on Immigration Policies
The Brazilian federal police officer immediately started joking with me, “What do you think, we were gonna throw you in jail? We’re not ICE, we’re Brazilians.”

According to ChatGPT if you want to convey Pre-Raphaelite vibes IRL you have to, instead of feeling wistful, let your scarf feel wistful.

By returning in Oedipus at Colonus to Oedipus as a blind, "three-footed" old man who opens the play with the word "child" (after Oedipus Rex had started with "children"), Sophocles does not add a new theme to Rex but fully dramatises the neotenic logic already implicit in the Sphinx’s riddle 1/2

Probably my greatest teaching feat was making a senior adult student cry while reading Oedipus at Colonus.

Great pub quiz question: what's the name of Oedipus's real (non-bio) mother?

This is just school stuff. Isn't everyone taught this in school?
Surprisingly good video on the Cold War from David_thegreatest on TikTok.

Covers how the main threats to the US post WW2 were Britain and France's legacy of colonialism and the rise of communism.

Many of todays problems can be explained through this lens.

RPG idea right here.
"By 457, London appears to have become completely abandoned. There is no evidence of anyone living within the walls for the next 200 years. Rather than occupy the overgrown Roman city, Anglo-Saxons at first settled outside the walls, only going inside to scavenge or explore." This sounds creepy!

I get the point but a lot of art theory since the 20th century has critiqued this concept of authorship as control. Dadaism, surrealism etc all tried to de-centre consciousness as the "source" of art.
This is also what New Critics called the intentional fallacy.

ffs stop suggesting we should just bulldoze historical buildings. it should definitely be preserved, but completely vacate it for refurbishment, and then turn it into a museum.
Basically Westminster will have to shut for a century

First poll Starmer has been ahead in for quite a while.

Starmer knew about Mandelson.

Now he must resign.

Next idea: geostationary space Amazon warehouse. When you order something, the warehouse opens a little port hole and your order burns through the atmosphere on its way to forming a crater in your yard.

"Amazon Prime: Deliveries at terminal velocity!"
But space-based datacenters? It's like trying to build datacenters inside Earth's mantle on the theory that, well, it's cheap land and "we'll have to do it some time anyway."

The entire Labour Party in the UK was remade by these insider dickheads so it would entirely be a party of right wing hacks, their corrupt funders, and their media buddies, and what was hailed as brilliance a year and a half ago now looks set to hand the country to the ludicrous Farage far right.
