There are worse people out there, but there are many better, so I just have to keep trying. Tolerant and accepting of anything but intolerance. I don’t get the whole Taylor Swift thing, but that’s fine.

I've just had a flashback to when I was about five, and my mam used to watch The Chinese Detective. Obviously, I don't remember much of the plots, but to me it seemed he solved crimes by getting the crap beaten out of him every week!

I've just realised, I am EXACTLY the same as the Incredible Hulk, except instead of anger, it's sadness, and instead of becoming really strong, it's eating lots of chocolate and watching Youtube videos of nineties music.

Just finishing day 1 of a strict diet. Really proud of my determination. I deserve this airport Toblerone as a reward!

Current mood: in my kitchen making focaccia, listening to Bleu Cafe by The Style Council, and thinking about how sexy and fun and smart my wife of 26 years is. If your Sunday is half as good as mine, you’re winning! 😎

Jesus Christ there are countless episodes of Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, even Star Trek, warning us not to do this. This is a result of decades of underfunding the humanities.

Had a drive around a bit today, so I've ended up at badminton practice 2 hours early, so I brought my laptop with me to do some work. I am sitting in their cafe, which played Arctic Monkeys followed by Cigarettes After Sex!

Once again listening to Breakfas.t in America, and thinking how weird the 70's rock scene was.
"Yeah, I'm in a rock band."
"Really? What do you play?"

Not because I had a small part to play but because now more than ever we need to amplify kindness and human connection, let me share with you the Tale of Kathleen & John
After I had given directions to Kathleen (as I was to learn was her name) she headed off with her trusty walking frame, Esmeralda

My favourite Hiberno-English-ism isn't any of the obvious ones, it's the fact that when we say "sallow" we mean the opposite of what everyone else means. It's not sickly yellow, it's healthy, positive

I just had a flash back to watching VH1's bio doc about Ozzy Osbourne, where they said he was flat broke, and it cut to Sharon saying "at this stage we were living in a hotel eating pizza for dinner every day, and I still don't think VH1 know what "flat broke" means.

Say what you want about Ryanair charging extra to sit together, or if you want more legroom. LOT sent me an email asking if I wanted to make them an offer for extra legroom, and they would inform the winning bid!

It's also why all of those smug european countries are pulling back on their welfare programs. They were happy to have them when they were relatively homogenous but now that they're afraid of immigrants having them - esp POC - they're scaling back
"Why don't people support welfare programs?"
Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.
White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky
