Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareās Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It seems like the actual skill set of these genius political fixer types, like Mandelson, McSweeney, Cummings etc is that they're sociopaths with powerful mates which imo aren't actually skills.

Binged Murderbot on AppleTV+ last night. I could not believe how good an adaptation it was. Will obviously be rereading the novellas immediately. And Sanctuary Moon š. The casting! The contrast in mood and tone!

Dadās books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending itās their own fault. So I hope Kemiās taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

After clashing with Maurice Glasman recently, I've come to realise just how pernicious he and his Blue Labour movement are. We could discuss his chumminess with Steve Bannon and JD Vance, endless pandering to the far right and evident hatred of the Labour left. But there's something even worse. š§µ

If you donāt like being called a racist, maybe donāt make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, donāt create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, donāt fawn over racist world leaders, and donāt make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

I was looking forward to a few more days of the papal conclave as a replacement for the snooker. And I'll not see the adorable Yellow-legged* gull family again *Yes, that's the actual species. Gulls don't have very exotic naming conventions. It's a gull. It has yellow legs.

I think what tipped me over the edge was the sport presenter on Today this morning who was talking about a version of Ronnie O'Sullivan I've just not seen. I admit I'm not really a fan but even he's been saying he's playing below par.
