few discuss how wretched many of the novels awarded the booker are

I have nothing but sympathy for trans ppl under attack but worth saying Serena Williams, the literal goat of women's tennis, was swatted aside by a guy ranked 203rd in the men's division who absolutely crushed him and Venus back to back. he was two beers deep and had just played 9 holes of golf.

that the premise of this argument is that "British is a construct, English is a race" is genuinely so funny bc it's constructs all the way down. did we forget about cheddar man?

thank you. I just finished it and was relieved and happy for the whale and whales everywhere.

this is a perfect example of how to scold your way to perpetual defeat. the amount of raw and unharnessed energy amongst young people in 2016 that dems explicitly repudiated is insane. no wonder some of them went right. meanwhile trump is going on every stream and podcast – building a movement.

cannot stand the takeover of the word "modality"

i love when your faces suddenly get detailed and intense

industry execs at that time were in the pocket of Big tiny

Remember way back in summer 2022 when Israeli government called 6 major Palestinian civil society organizations terrorists but couldn’t provide US or EU any convincing evidence?

2024 goals:

1. Leverage AI more in my private life
2. More foam
3. Take out Shinzo abe

i wonder what grayling himself thinks about this consensus (is he self aware?)

I’m a josimar fan/ worried about gulf capture of footy embittered by the wilful blindness of guardian and co on Israel/uefa especially after so much ink was spilled on Qatar etc. some great reporting now feels motivated by Eurocentric entitlement to the game rather than concern for humanity

if only it were so simple…

Generation after generation, Israeli prison marks a rite of passage for Palestinian boys The release of Palestinian prisoners under the cease-fire agreement has touched nearly everyone in the occupied West Bank, where 750,000 Palestinians have been arrested since 1967.

I like my cars fast and my frisson nihilistic

The hostages will be released when my conditions are met. 1, a million dollars in cash delivered to a waiting private jet at Miami international airport. 2, a pig inside named sorbet. And he can’t just be arbitrarily dubbed sorbet, he has to respond to and like the name; and finally-

i want to read Moby dick but only if nothing bad happens to the whale. can someone tell me with minimal spoilers if this is the wrong book for me

doesn’t accepting attacks on Germany’s past with good grace rather than reflexive negativity feel fair considering the country’s mass participation in fascism

ingenious parody account I think? “I’m german. You’re triggering me by referencing my country’s history :(“

two blokes in the gym changing room discussing their “macros.” sad. My only supplement is my determination to become the hokage

If “cancel culture” is being unfairly punished for straying from political orthodoxy then the realest and most obvious cancel culture relates to perceived criticism of Israel. See: Valentina azarova, Steven Salaita, Kenneth Roth, anti boycott bills/ laws on both sides of the Atlantic…

you have to date someone whose total disinterest in weed makes your dependency feel more desperate and somewhat antisocial (from experience)

does it not strike anybody else as low key dishonourable that more than two weeks has passed since chandler’s death and Joey has yet to commit hara-kiri to follow him into the next world?

purchasing and then converting one full floor of the shard into a tank of saline water accessible only by chute or ladder and complete with kelp forest would fix all my problems

god’s ham

There is something utterly breathtaking in the constant repetition of cruelties, brutalities, stupidities by the US and Israeli leaders here. The Israeli actions today are an echo -almost too proximate- of all they did in Lebanon in 1982. They also wanted to annex S Lebanon then and couldn't. 1/
