I started rewatching TV series a few years ago and thought it hadn’t aged well. I prefer to see just favourite sketches on YouTube. youtu.be/15Z5nsyLDbE?...

Agree. Some of their stuff was very funny. And some was very silly.

It’s a mystery. More research needed.

I used to know a dopey hippie who was trying to avoid a debt claiming he was a freeman on the land. Went on a lot about maritime law. I lost contact before finding out how that ended.

When I said we weren't here to be disappointed with Labour but to replace them. I meant it.

Isn't it odd how we're afraid of the judgement of complete strangers we'll probably never see again?

Describing Rowling as ‘pro women’s rights’ is disingenuous. She’s only pro some women’s rights.

This is very good -- Cory Doctorow explains why people are locked into sites like Facebook that just get worse & worse. And he has some ideas on how to evacuate those shitty sites.
