Oh God this woman has died. So awful. Such a brilliant woman. Such vicious cruelty being inflicted on people. It would undo you. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Yes, and if you think the poor spend their money stupidly, wait till you see the rich.

It's a shame that the practice of calling one's opponents mad was discredited by the Soviet Union, because many on the right now really do seem to be genuinely detached from reality.

I'm still depressed about Angola not advancing. I had big feelings for Angola yesterday after only 12 minutes. The day before I had big feelings for Mozambique, but that might have been about singing. I can't remember. It's all equal for me. Singing & dancing is very important in sports. #AFCON

I'm over here cheering for Uganda who are being crushed by Nigeria. All my teams are blissful.

I have been very lucky to read some proofs this year, and this is up there as one of the very best, and maddest (my favourite thing) — just brilliant writing! Anakana is definitely one of the most original Irish writers working today

I feel like this could be negotiated: as in we will trade removing one additional u from another word if everyone switches to spelling it grey.

I can't abide the way Americans spell grey with an a. It's too perky with an a. Grey needs to look dull unless it's on your head.

Angola are playing great. Get involved.

"Mathieu Amalric's choice was a matter of chance, as he decided to adapt the first book he came across at random. He picked a book from library of Jeanne Balibar's parents in the same way that Jean-Yves Dubois, the main character did in a scene from his previous film en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Stad...

Everyone should boycott any Hampton Inn unto perpetuity for this disgusting policy. There goes anybody but for the grace of a paycheck or violence. All sorts of things befall people, never imagine you are beyond being homeless. I've been homeless because of a violent neighbour.

"I am going to read all day today" "You do that every day" YEAH BUT TODAY IS THE BEST ANNUAL DAY FOR READING. Every other day there's pressure pulling at you or people doing stupid depressing stuff like invading/bombing/destroying countries or melting your head.

Wait until you see the French term for Putin.

One of the few good things that happened in 2025 was I started following a newspaper or maybe it’s a news channel in Baltimore. In any case I am learning odd things here and there I otherwise wouldn’t know about the place. It’s my new Ullapool.
