Success! declares Tolkien. He has completed The Lord of the Rings and having been read by Rayner Unwin is approved. He does not think it will make any money, at 1200 pages. He says that had term not "caught up" with him, that he would (1/2)

I woke up to hourly radio bulletins on the radio about asylum seekers, like this is a topic I require updates on all. the. time.

Waking up, again, to the sound of two white men on the radio arguing about whether it is ok to be made "mad" by the very sight of black and Asian people on TV. 😒

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families

Ah bedtime, and the Tee & Mo, Big Boy Boots/Being Little/Here With You triple-bill Don't Cry Challenge!

Honestly this shit is imho every bit as profound as anything in Bluey.

Genius.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that
