I’m mostly of the opinion that Arrival is the true sequel to Waiting for Godot. It also plays with time and language in a somewhat alien landscape

Series 2 the plumber shows up and eventually your house is repossessed due to plumbing fees. The plumber buys your house. Your plumber is your landlord. It’s harder now to get plumbing repairs

The choice broadly is
Woke or Wanker ?
and an awful lot of people have decided they’re wankers

David Roberts @volts.wtf · 2d

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

I did jokingly suggest they could vote for Jim Gavin with no second preference. I haven’t missed a vote since 18 and I‘m not sure what I’m doing

its very easy not to address them and the answer given screams transphobia to my trans friends. Gript have been trumpeting the phrase she used. Another friend commented today so my choice is a Clare Daly supporter or a transphobe? And I don’t have a reply to that question.

She recently gave a transphobic answer to a question from Gript. First issue is the answer and the second is why was she taking questions from them at all?

How did the Irish Indo get word of it turns out to be "the Deputy editor of the Sunday World shared an office with them and it was office banter" is absolutely shambolic levels of "does no one on your press team have a quiet backchannel to journalists"
