My daughter's class had homework on Plato's Cave. Parents in the WhatsApp group were panicking it seemed too hard. I said just hand something in and tell the teacher she's only seeing the shadow of the *real* homework. Got nothing. No laughing emojis, no HAHAHA. I'm fucking wasted on these people.

OK, this was great. "If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of their colour of their skin… that people who lived here for generations, are our neighbours... if you say they should note be deported, we will fight you with everything we have."

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.
