We also loooove quoting Judi when she says “they’ll FLY by” about Cate’s years-long prison sentence

My husband says this to me all the time since I turned 30

Do straight people remember NOTES ON A SCANDAL? It’s only Judi Dench’s 21st most popular film on Letterboxd (below HOME ON THE RANGE and above THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK) and every single review of it on my friends tab on the app is from a homosexual man.

Lost it at ‘Whoopi Goldberg (“Fugitive Columbo”)’

Peter ate with this lede

Oof these reviews of the Michael Jackson movie 😬

It’s similar to when Ezra Klein came out saying liberals need to respect Charlie Kirk’s ideas after the assassination, mostly because he was terrified of being harmed himself and had constructed a hasty, crude ideological framework to use to come to terms with that fear.

I do find Mahmood’s radicalisation fascinating though. She is a true believer and has deeply internalised so many of the arguments against the positions she used to hold. An ideology of deep insecurity.

I mean it was all obvious from the start. In Mahmood’s first conference speech as Home Secretary she basically said “I’m going to have to piss all of you off and that will be a sign I’m doing my job well”

It’s a joke but that doesn’t mean it’s not vile and also revealing.

Excuse me

Perhaps related but I have never seen more SNP signs than I have in the last hour.

This Highlands bus fare cap is quite something, £2 for my ticket from Fort William to Inverness!

Even Helen Zille has gone from posting that colonialism made some points and sharing Elon Musk “more race-based laws right now than there were during Apartheid” nonsense to singing Vuli Ndlela again at campaign rallies!

I remember when you made this point about John Steenhuisen. Interestingly the DA have changed course and now have a leader who seems to understand this!

Are they purposefully trying to lose this election

Incredible way to call your friend’s dog fat.

Losing My Friend Over Wegovy She hid her semaglutide use, knowing that I would spiral. She was right; we haven’t spoken since.

The most The Cut personal essay I’ve ever read.

We are in the astrology phase of election punditry

There needs to be an industry inquiry after these elections into MRPs and then, to be frank, there needs to be a strengthening of BPC rules and potentially even actual regulation to control the recent proliferation of lobbyists dressing up as pollsters and undermining the entire sphere

Hate “ambo” as an abbreviation. Sounds Australian

I bet that t-shirt is whispering to him like the Green Goblin mask right now…..

What’s going on here

Who is this Edward Morello character and why is he outmogging everyone at the committee

This lecture by CS Lewis is excellent and I thought a lot about Starmer and his team while reading it the other day.

Least surprising thing ever.

The entitlement of thinking you can describe someone as arrogant, classist and misogynistic but then still order them to platform your friends? They don’t owe you anything actually?

So JK Rowling mocks Rory Stewart and Alasdair Campbell for not having For Women Scotland on their show, but when Alasdair Campbell points out that she has herself refused to appear on their show she says she didn’t want to boost their viewing figures????
