Our newborn had her first ‘poopocalypse’ and my broken internet brain immediately thought of Thiel’s fascist FT op-ed on how the apokálypsis isn’t the end of the world but instead a great “unveiling”. A load of shit, obviously, but in this case unarguable.

The later in the night it is, the more I’m convinced that the New Year’s Eve classics ‘The Irony of Fate’ and ‘Dinner for One’, are essentially the same story of extreme drunkenness and mistaken identity, differing only in class ideology… and length

"it's my child!!" Utterly horrendous scene in #Tbilisi tonight, mother screaming in distress as thuggish police rips her child away.

Hard to watch, but put sound on, watch, share & send to anyone who may still support GD to watch what horror they are inflicting.
