This takes me back to #MeToo. Friends of the accused coming out and saying "Well he never abused ME." If a number of people claim on the record that he said racist things, it really doesn't matter if some other people don't recall him doing so. They may be telling the truth, it's just not relevant

Can I just shock you? I *like* Leeds.

Oh, and we’re might be laughing up our lungs right now, but we might stop when Rangers get this takeover completed.

A nervy but vital three points there - thanks again for everything, Martin ❤️ #CelticFC

just for anyone who lost track;

The inch bigots were given a decade ago has turned into several miles and my friends are suffering for it.

Amazing news

So; it’s Nancy Bhoy, then. Right behind you, Wilfried, all good luck #CelticFC

😄😄

David Griffin still with us, I think?

Tell you what, I reckon BBC Two have got Christmas Day in the bag this year.

Jesus wept…..

The budget “lies” hysteria and today’s excruciating chess discourse are just more proof that our right wing newspapers last crossed postcodes with sanity a decade or more ago. Utterly wild.

I just can't get over the fact that the guy who gave this quote is 45. It would be embarrassing for all involved if this quote came from the *current* under-14 chess champion, but from an adult...I worry I've ruptured something from cringing so hard.

Never read them; should I put that right?

I know I’ve said it before but it’s almost certainly because the behaviour of JK Rowling has rarely if ever been honestly reported by traditional media, so an offline octogenarian Tom Stoppard likely had no meaningful idea about Rowling’s behaviour or its context, as remains true for most people.

"We remastered Mad Men from the original files!"
"Did you remember to redo all the effects shots?"
"Say what now?"

Nobody vocalised exclamation marks quite like Ms Ford.

ups Hi, Lev Parikian It's time to get your parcel! Your action is required.

*Muppets theme tune plays*

You should get a man in to do that last thing for you.

We need to stop trying to turn these things from small talk you have with your friends to kill time into things people think have actual right & wrong answers because they’re dull

Happy Advent to you and your kin! And everyone else's kin too, come to that. As every December so far this decade, I'm going to do an Advent Calendar of beautiful and brilliant carols, with each day's added to a YouTube playlist and also to the ongoing Spotify one, now in its sixth(!) year.

4 panel comic Panel 1: Red Guy looking way way too happy yells “Hey Guys! Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?” Blue Guy next to him calmly says “Shhh” Panel 2: Blue Guy tenderly puts his arms around Red Guy and says “You don’t have to do this” Panel 3: Blue Guy still holds Red Guy tightly and repeats “You don’t have to do this every year”. Red Guy begins to break. Panel 4: Red Guy dissolves into Blue Guy’s embrace, sobbing. He finally feels the weight of Christmas Discourse lifting from his shoulders. He is finally free.

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse
