Guess without McSweeney's hand up his backside he's getting inconvenient flashbacks to when he knew what human rights were. I'm sure it'll pass fairly quickly.

My favourite part was when she went "it's wheeling time!" and then wheeled everywhere.

My Beautiful Laundrette, between Omar's father and Johnny: "I don't want my son in this... underpants-cleaning condition. I want him reading in college. You tell him. You go to college. He must have knowledge. We all must, now if we're to see clearly what is being done and to whom in this country."

The former are people with leftist politics who never get elected, while the latter are those who get elected and try to throw the left a bone once an election cycle or so.

I suppose it's harder to find evidence for bias when you can't get a coherent answer!

Is this not just The Game (1997)? 😁

"Oh Lemon - I wish I'd worked more."

My favourite song of all time is The Trapeze Swinger by Iron & Wine; I don't think 'In Good Company' ever pulled up many trees, however.

Wondrously Wounded: Theology, Disability, and the Body of Christ
by Brian Brock makes for an interesting look from a perhaps slightly different angle.

Major boost to economy through wedding law reform In the biggest overhaul to marriage law since the 19th century, reforms are set to give marrying couples greater freedom and boost the economy by £535 million.

I don't know if you saw that they announced a major consultation to overhaul the marriage law in England - www.gov.uk/government/n...

Hannah Čulík-Baird looks at how and why classicists work with fragments of earlier texts preserved in later ones, while disregarding the 'container' text as a text in its own right - fascinating stuff.

Obviously not, Tucker, it's quite difficult to be both single and happily married.

"My résumé, admittedly, is a bit unorthodox" is genius.

ok probably a long shot but does any1 have access to:

Zur Kritik der politischen Moral. Kritik des politischen Verhaltens. Ein Beitrag zur Konzeption einer neuen sozialistischen Bewegung, Offenbach 1947
by Sebastian Franck (alias of Heinz/Henry Jacoby)?

any help appreciated!

Few things have as much impact on the student experience as the quality of poo their instructors were able to have that morning.

The ultimate signal of indecisive times, the or-or-or.

Well, if ever there was an expert on large, round, mostly-faked objects ...

A young theologian's journey from Milan to Minsk.

Even if it has it's in the past so I can't appreciate it anymore, please do a new one.

To be fair I first played it at 14 or so, when die-and-reload stamina was almost unlimited, and learned all the tricks. Probably the same reason I still enjoy replays of all that era's games. And why I could never play hardcore anything.

Great choices. Planescape: Torment remains probably my favourite game of all time, and the remaster (amazingly) genuinely just added some gentle QoL instead of trying to 'fix' the janky-yet-integral parts.

They went with the rest of me to get takeout, where did yours go?!

There's a reason it was always originally double-billed with Totoro as a chaser. My (now) wife and I saw it on a date - one of a series of spectacularly bad date-night film choices - and went straight home to eat a lot of ice-cream and cookies.

Or wear and tear, age, or adolescence, in this case.

I feel like you misspelled 'or' there.

Please let it be Infowars-style supplements, but they're all just gourmet onion powder.

It's the scoring that's statistically unlikely, not the club part! 😅

Julian Schnabel? Good! Oscar Isaac? Gooood! Jason Momoa, John Malkovich, Al Pacino? Can't complain! Gal Godot?

Well see that's tricky now for those of us who like your intellectual output and want to inspire more ...
