Fair point.

Various levels of cope with Brexit ref. But truth was out there to see, Cummings was competent not a genius.

Bang on the money there Adam

It is absolutely bonkers. I love a walk to the shop and I also hate paying more for a takeaway than I would actually going to a restaurant! I can't be the only one...

What a beautifully written piece, thanks for sharing

Agree with this!

Football is not exempt from management speak! We all want to be Brighton but they are the exception. Football is chaotic.

Tbh it is football - long term strategy is a easy journo short form. Everyone has a strategy until they get punched in the face etc etc

Honestly just the best. Love Origin Story. One of those 'should be massive' podcasts. Quality is so high every week!

Do you get the legs included?

Depressing

In London? 🙃

Haha I appreciate that level of pedanticness!

Fallen at the first offences

Having worked on #Syria full-time since the crisis began nearly 14yrs ago, there really is no understating how remarkable the losses imposed on #Assad's regime have been over the past week.

A large reason for this lies with #HTS — a 🧵:

Who are Syria's rebels? There's been lots of rebranding, but are they just Al-Qaeda?

If you’re wondering “who the hell are these Syrian rebels?” I’ve got you covered: open.substack.com/pub/arthursn...

But... Bookmarks?

I have to use these when I am speaking Italian because noone would understand overwise lol

Eg 'Smartworking' (working remote), 'a shooting' (photoshoot) and many more haha

Just Italian, full of English words no one ever says

Simpler words in languages tend to be more divergent across romance languages in my experience. 'Left' is markedly different in French Spanish and Italian for example. Spanish also has many words from Arabic

When did ticktoc go from fun dances to fash? Depressing that every platform just eventually get hijacked by the far right...

Harsh before Christmas period as well!
