I have over 20,000 songs on my iPhone. I’ve created an auto playlist of only those tracks I’ve only played the once. My daily commutes are now random songs I’ve mostly forgotten about. These are some of the highlights (in chronological order).

As I didn't intend to travel to the US, excuse my French: The US administration is
- intentionally spreading fake news and lies about EU laws.
- trying to coerce European states by threatening to reduce military support if it doesn't exclude US companies from EU digital rules.

I'd really like to be watching England lose at cricket while cooking. Their squad should be made to play a Shield team in these gaps.

I’m shocked (shocked I tells you!) that it turns out that Graeme Swann is an absolute twat!
Surely not the bloke who quit an #Ashes mid tour because he was about to be dropped??!!
Not the bloke who pissed on the Oval pitch after a win?!?
Complete fuckwit.

The instrument that one would use to measure this level of failure is called a Bariometer
Bari Weiss is innovating entire new dimensions of failure. She's failing in ways hitherto unconceived of. A pioneer of failology. A faileontologist. Whole career is a Fail Mary. She's beyond the fail. The Daily Fail. She's on the quest for the Holy Fail. Making tomato and Fail Salad.
