Morgan clearly has no argument because he just starts shouting. Appalling interviewer (and human).

Nuance? No, that requires thought, empathy and willingness to learn...

Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's *so* bloody refreshing to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social stand by his principles & not play up to this week's focus group findings or Farage's latest utterance.

I really cannot see how YourParty will ever be able to achieve this level of clarity, so...

Absolutely fascinating. Paging @diamandahagan.bsky.social too 😊

It occurs to me that the Doctor's polyethnic identity in recent times recontextualises Peter Davison's casting in quite an interesting way.
(For context, although you'd be unlikely to guess it by looking at him, Davison's paternal family is Guyanese. He has close relatives who are visibly Black.)
Peter Davison, a fair-skinned blond man, as the fifth Doctor, circa 1982.

Incredible book treasure this week! Vampires, fantasy, a little smut, ghosts and tons of dark atmosphere... absolutely perfect for spooky season! 🥰📚

I really am not a fan of phones at concerts. But there was no chance we'd afford tickets to see Lady Gaga, and some of the clips I've seen broadcast are absolutely sublime.

Also Himself rightly said 'imagine her and Freddy Mercury on stage together.' 🤩

Ok, did not expect “The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe” to feel quite so relevant to this moment.

Here’s Edmund, deciding to side with the leader who he’s been told disappears people.
He did want Turkish Delight and to be a prince (and later a king) and to pay Peter out for calling him a beast. As for what the Witch would do with the others, he didn't want her to be particularly nice to them - certainly not to put them on the same level as himself; but he managed to believe, or to pretend he believed, that she wouldn't do anything very bad to them, 'Because,' he said to himself, 'all these people who say nasty things about her are her enemies and probably half of it isn't true. She was jolly nice to me, anyway, much nicer than they are. I expect she is the rightful Queen really. Anyway, she'll be better than that awful Aslan!' At least, that was the excuse he made in his own mind for what he was doing. It wasn't a very good excuse, however, for deep down inside him he really knew that the White Witch was bad and cruel.
