I know it is a small thing in the scheme of things, but the thing that grates is that this (gestures expansively) demonstrates that every pious word we have read from Americans about their glorious constitution, free and fearless press, separation of powers, free speech, checks and balances has

If you are disappointed about the recent news regarding Assassin's Creed dropping that game where you get to hunt the KKK, I do recommend picking up a copy of the Sidewise Award winning Cahokia Jazz.

I mean Cahokia Jazz had a pretty good scene where a bunch of shitty people in white robes get some comeuppance.

Have you got any recommendations for alt-history where pricks aren't rewarded? Getting real tired of karma not smashing these people in the face every time they do something like this.

Probably. He was getting to be more of an alcoholic sad sack at the end of Endeavour

Good Lord. I don't remember that. The only thing I remember, and remember being different about the one pre TV one I read is that Lewis isn't younger

So, in episode 1, Morse is much more of an alcoholic sad sack than I remember him being in much later episodes

when i was being examined for my senior coxing licence in Oxford, she asked if I'd ever been in a boat crash, I said yes, she asked what I happened, I said "a manatee tried to mate with the shell and it capsized then broke in half" and she did not know how to respond to that

Student: manatees are really dangerous because they weigh 1000 pounds and lose all awareness of their surroundings when mating

Other student: *under breath* oh wow same

It is funny that the symbols for our time emerged which we didn't have or need before but now couldn't do without: hot dog guy, the leopards, milkshake duck, Torment Nexus, the political parties one (Wow!, Friendship is Magic, Citizen's Forum)

Sometimes I think we should probably look at our policy of sort of stochastically killing sex criminals as a sentence. But I'm not sure anyone will particularly care enough.

this tipped me off to londoncentric.media and, boy, their stuff is really good even if you don't particularly care for London. Why? Because it's laser-focused on *the money* - who is getting paid and how for various aspects, especially the shady ones, of urban life.

Reading @londoncentric.media and reflecting on how everything wrong with Britain can be seen through Deliveroo:
- much of the economy is fraudulent
- people don’t go outside
- workers are underpaid and insecure
- the immigration system is broken
- society is being eroded by Big Tech

I adore London&fully agree on Dubai, but the author‘s criticism of Paris& Berlin is a joke. French political turmoil is bad is it? Have you watched UK news since 2014? German trains are slow? Thank God for the sound state of UK Infrastructure.
Love you 🇬🇧. But ditch the superiority complex. Please.
