BUT IT FEELS SO MUCH LONGER 😩😭

I’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 all day long, blissfully unaware of world events. I open the BBC News app on a whim and find that Trump has toppled a foreign government. We can’t take our eye off that man for a second, can we?

Gen Z are really telling us that sideparts and skinny jeans are cringe while they’re over on TikTok miming song lyrics to camera.

This lovely boy never did learn to spell my name. Makes me sad that I won’t be getting a Xmas text from him this year. If you can, please donate to either of these charities- they work towards the prevention of young suicide. www.papyrus-uk.org/ways-to-dona... jaclewisfoundation.co.uk/donate/

Dappy jollydays, one and all!

Just spent Christmas Eve watching my favourite film ever, The Princess Bride. When DIRECTED BY ROB REINER came up on the screen at the end I burst into floods of tears. I mean real ugly crying. Never let anyone say that art is unimportant; I had no idea how much his films meant to me until now.

My favourite thing about Xmas: my mother’s honey & mustard glazed ham 😋

My cat’s way of telling me that I’ve finished sorting clothes for tonight so I guess we’ll watch The Muppets’ Christmas Carol now

Please, if you plan on getting a TEFL cert & teaching abroad: take it seriously. It involves safeguarding children & adults, respecting local laws & customs, & being accountable to employers & students. It takes skill, dedication & commitment. It’s a profession, not a Get Out of Jail Free card.

I never would have thought David Walliams would be capable of such things. - No one, ever

Can you believe that what everybody always knew about David Walliams is finally true 🙏

Wait- they don’t have to do that already? 😳

I love this film so very, very much. youtu.be/wUJccK4lV74?...

My mother just reminded me of something that I’d completely forgotten about: that time I kissed Howard Marks at a book signing. It was a proper smacker too, right on the lips.

every day we wake up wanting no worries be happy, and every day we get no happy be worries

WHO DO WE EMAIL TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN

If you love The Princess Bride this thread is essential reading

we should all watch a rob reiner movie tomorrow, this entire site, just pick one and put it on at like 8pm est

It’s a horrible thing that’s happened, but the number of videos I’ve seen today reminding me of that Mr. Rogers quote has made me feel so much better about humans in general: “Look for the helpers.” There are always far more people doing the helping than there are the hurting.

Only this man should be allowed to be a billionaire.

I found out recently that KCL, Cardiff Uni and Oxford have all found that some U.K. viewers of 9/11- particularly millennials- have been affected with some kind of subclinical PTSD because our news channels didn’t censor what was happening- we saw falling bodies and recognisable faces at windows. 🧵

The Director of Eurovision said today that the contest “shouldn’t be used as a political theatre.” That’ll be why Cyprus always has 12 points for Greece and Azerbaijan always has 12 for Turkey and no one ever has any for the United Kingdom- because it’s completely apolitical. Bollocks indeed.

If you see this, I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation.

Another “benefit” of leaving the EU: it now costs us more to be disappointed by the Mona Lisa.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

I love the London Undergroud

You wouldn't believe how hot it makes a woman to be thought of as a human.

What’s going to happen to my friend? My friend who has a law degree, speaks 5 languages & has so much to offer, who would be tortured or disappeared in prison if he went home? My friend who’s been living his life on hold for 3 years already & doesn’t know how much more he can take?

Refugees & asylum seekers are largely a vulnerable, traumatised & disadvantaged group of people so to keep demonising & scapegoating them for political gain is disgusting & despicable. The end doesn’t justify this punching down means & in any case the end here seems to be the propaganda itself.

Cutting the path to citizenship turns refuge into insecurity instead of protection. It traps refugees in permanent limbo- allowed to exist but never belong, never feel safe. No stability, no certainty, no future, no chance to rebuild after trauma. It’s inhuman.

Good morning

A response to Matt Goodwin on small boat refugees (with record of crime in Germany) committing crime (rape) in the UK.

Raye is insanely talented & I want to like her music but she’s writing songs called ‘Where is my Husband?’ with lyrics about how badly she wants a diamond on her wedding finger and I just can’t identify with that. I want Amy Winehouse singing about shagging her boss and not going to rehab.

Beautiful. 👌

I only have one wrinkle on my face and it’s a vertical frown line right between my eyebrows. I’m convinced I got it from concentrating too hard at video games.

This is completely AI generated and the fact that it’s so insanely good is TERRIFYING. (I’ll be listening to it on repeat for the next six months regardless.) youtube.com/shorts/Z8TRc...

Mounjaro. It’s so good, it’s scary. I’ve been on it for 2 weeks and in that time I’ve lost a stone, but it’s robbed me of more than just my appetite- I literally don’t need to eat. I never feel hungry. I want nothing. Surely this is just medically-approved anorexia? It can’t possibly be healthy.

Unfortunately there are people in politics and the media with their heads firmly planted in the sand. We have to accept that fascism is here. Again.

So Erika Kirk is Serena Joy. Why am I not surprised.

Honestly I’ve been S T U N N E D by the speed with which so many people have suddenly decided that Charlie Kirk was just a decent guy on a righteous mission to show the world how to disagree in a civilised manner. I thought I’d kept my friend lists free of Nazi apologists, but nope.

My mother got a £60 parking charge. She was going to pay it but I insisted she let me appeal it for her. Just got an email confirming it’s been cancelled. FIGHT THE POWER! 💪🏼

Yeh but what was he wearing?

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

Also providing reminder. The close-up is pretty brutal so if you’re squeamish, give it a miss.

“I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our God-given right.” - Charlie Kirk, 2023
