Even better that whenever people share their hobbies and interests someone always replies asking why they aren't focusing on the more important thing, 'fighting plutocratic fascism'...

The art is a by-product, the purpose of the creative process is how it changes you!

I had to read it 5 times to accept that it wasn't satire...

I once loathed a book so much I pulled out all the pages, cut them into squares and used them for origami, it was exceedingly cathartic

Unlike Grenade by Bruno Mars, in which he offers to do things that never need doing

There was a tweet which said that being a billionaire is functionally a cognitive impairment and I think about it a lot

Not just boarding schools, private day schools are just as bad here. Interestingly, boarding is much less popular here now, so lots of the boarders come from China and Russia.

In the UK it's more that they attended such pricey schools, nobody ever questioned how those schools operated and they hugely encourage bullying. I wonder if this seeped into other countries' elite education as well? (Britain: never a good example but always a terrible warning!)

Won't listen to the podcast due to him being so vacuous but the comments on it are AMAZING, lots of people very happy that a) she hasn't forgiven him and b) he looks pathetic about it

I completely agree with all of this but also, not everyone is playing DnD to be challenged, sometimes escapism is silly and fun, which is fine too! DnD can be incredibly meaningful and it can be totally ridiculous and it can be both at the same time

The absolute worst are the intros to classic sci-fi that feel the need to tell you the book defies genre and is literary actually. As if I, someone who is choosing to read sci-fi need to have the genre denigrated before I can enjoy the book!

You don't look terrible, you look like you're having fun - literally the most attractive thing a person can do!

As someone who cycles in London but not on a Lime Bike, strongly agree! They make cycle lanes and pavements dangerous, if we want to see more people feeling safe as pedestrians and cyclists, we need to make e-bike users much safer!

Please don't insult Frog and Toad like this, they would never

I have no way to tell if this is serious or satire because the world it reflects is so different from any I will ever know

Spending money on something you enjoy or think is important isn't losing money, it's just spending it

Britney Spears has the ultimate in this with Work Bitch
