Being a proud parent really applies to everything because the Bean did a truly generational shit this morning and I’ve been excitedly telling everyone how foul it was

Recently, as I was doing some deep breathing exercises in the vestry to cope with some nonsense at church, someone came up to me and said "these days I have to ask God for patience, because if I ask him for strength I'll deck a bitch." and honestly? Biblical levels of wisdom there.

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I refuse to shop anywhere in this country while they’re having “Black Friday” deals because absolutely the fuck not; we do not HAVE Thanksgiving, black friday is therefore unnatural and an abomination before the Lord and I will shop on Boxing Day like our ancestors intended

Social media is truly hell because like hell I’m putting pictures of my precious perfect child on the Torment Nexus, so you just have to take my word for it that the Bean is the cutest baby to ever exist. Sorry to all the other chopped ass babies out there but it’s true.

this is because we don’t need food to survive. we’re like vampires, except instead of blood, we subsist entirely on tea
I have a theory that *nobody* has ever actually seen what British people actually eat. All the British food you know of is a potemkin front, they keep their real food hidden from the world.
Chicken tikka, chip butty, bubble and squeak, spotted dick, etc: all the elaborate prank of a dead empire.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Zohran's campaign was his determination to make New York a city everyone can afford to live in. Huge congratulations!
His success will resonate throughout the world. A story where no one is left behind.
It's time to write that story across England & Wales too.
