It highlights the reality of the current political divide. The far-right are pitching not just toxic nostalgia, but an entirely imagined past. They could not achieve their political vision even if they had an actual time machine. All they have to offer is cruelty, violence, corruption and decay.

Yes, I had one that arrived too late, too: very frustrating.

Rob is the fucking Andrea Pirlo of The Traitors. A conductor. A truly beautiful player of the game. Maestro.

Someone should really think about using this as the cover of a philosophy book

Boycotts and Beyond: How should we respond to ethically compromised sporting events? Major sporting events can be ethically charged. They may be hosted by fascist regimes, as a way to gain a perception of legitimacy on the world stage. Notably, the 1936 Olympic games was hosted by Naz...

I'm organising a workshop in Glasgow in May, about how people should respond to ethically tainted sporting events. I've just made a PhilEvents page. If you've got any questions about it, send me an email!

The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.

He spent a year in jail for this.

Omg doomscrolling is the way to smuggle reading for pleasure past the watchful eyes of the protestant work ethic.

Plus, "Epic: the many lives of Pelรฉ", the first full biography of the 20th century's greatest footballer and Brazil's best-known export. Out July 30 on Viking-Penguin.

There's something very funny about the very sanctimonious guy, James, on "Suddenly Amish" being sanctimonious when he (a) clearly does it because he is attracted to Kendra, (b) is likely fucking his cousin.

That is most definitely in their hands! It's just also in City's...

I'm writing a book I signed a deal with Simon & Schuster to publish my first book, tentatively titled In the Shadow of the Cage.

Been waiting a long time to make this announcement

We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

This Irish scrum is being obliterated. Absolutely fucked.

Something horrifying about getting absolutely twatted in the face and also getting rightly sin-binned.

Harry Kane breaks into Bayern's top ten all time goal scorers with his next goal. (If the sources I'm looking at are right.)

Also Rob is playing the game really well. The Pirlo of the Turret.

Shaun White keeps telling us about his visits to different countries, rather than telling us anything about these countries or their Olympic contributions.

This seems pretty conclusive evidence against blanket bans. (I think this still leaves open whether there are differences in elite sport, where small percentages matter, and whether there are any particular factors that matter more in strength or collision sports.)
