The Gilbert Adair files: The Nautilus and the nursery Roland Barthes’s [sic] April Fools paean to the Carry On cycle, from our Gilbert Adair tribute trove.

Gutted Corsica Studios is closing (sort of). So many memories, many not for public consumption. We had The Quietus 5th & 10th birthday parties there. It was where I discovered I adored being pummelled by heavy, grubby techno that made the urinals vibrate pleasingly 🖤

Love love love Corsica Studios.

This photo of Virginia Woolf is both a mood and a vibe

A moving box thats awkwardly crammed with books in a way to make Euclid weep.

Enough of this Tetris shit. Time for an impractical and unenforcable agreement on all book widths.

Kemi Badenoch mistakenly says NI voted in favour of Brexit In a BBC NI interview, the Tory leader said the

Kemi Badenoch saying “the last time I checked, Northern Ireland did vote to leave” is so on-brand it hurts. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I love this. The purest essence of Kemi - incredibly wrong, bizarrely belligerent about it, and also wrong in a way where you just go “have you considered reading anything other than your Twitter feed?”

Horrifying news out of Crumpsall this morning following a major incident. I want to thank the police for swift action.

Praying for the whole community on this holy day.

Violence is never the answer and Manchester must stand together against these actions.

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

Repeat after me: people hate this mad king shit

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

There is no such thing as an unsatisfying Timothy Olyphant interview

If you haven't read MOBY DICK I think it's easy to be like "oh there are some passages that can mistakenly be read in a homoerotic or homoromantic light" and then you read it and Ishmael is like "from that moment on Queequeg and I were a married couple that is in love"

Most people who write about politics, right or left, have internalized the concept of the Trump supporter as the authentic american Volk and so many of their conclusions proceed from that

Death Is Just A Change David Lynch has gone on to whatever the next place is. I’m very sad about it; it came at a hard time for the city of Los Angeles, a place he dearly loved, and it’s hard not to think his change of cons...

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

this is an extraordinary canary in the coal mine

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

Happy anniversary to the first time this nerdy xennial saw her generation - and especially a young woman - depicted not as a glossy sexy size 6 with wealthy parents nor a 2D avatar written by boomers to feed her boomer parents setups for witty comeback lines, but as a relatable loveable fuckin loser

It took them under a decade to get Gamergate and fash YouTube to total political ascendancy in the world hegemon. Fewer than ten years to get the ideology of Roosh V. and Sargon of Akkad and Davis Aurini and Lauren Southern to the pinnacle of global power. We should all be so fucking ashamed.

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

The route to chaotic authoritarianism Why Reform’s deportation plan would have consequences well beyond asylum

Reform's plans to end indefinite leave to remain go to the post I wrote last week on their slide towards chaotic authoritarianism.

The British constitution would allow them to do it if they had a majority but at vast cost to our society and way of life.

I like George R. R. Martin well enough, but he does not hold a candle to Tolkien. His books don’t have enough weird little guys. Fantasy thrives on weird little guys.

Update: A Green Party of England & Wales spokesperson tells me they've just broken 78,000 members

Which means the party has jumped 5,000 in less than 5 days. Picking up a lot of Your Party backers no doubt

And it's up by 10,000 - about 15% - since Zack Polanski was elected leader. A big cash boost
