I am one of those weird people who cannot *not* finish a book once I've started. Even if it's the most boring book in the world, I will sit and read/listen until the last page.
Except Moby Dick, started but never finished; it haunts me like some kind of... I dunno... pale aquatic mammal...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I'm gonna say it. Tron was a mediocre (at best), 80s kids' film with a forgettable plot surrounded by cool visuals.
It did not require one sequel, let alone two, and nobody would have cared if a "Tron Universe" never existed.
The creators are milking 80s notalgia for as many $$$ as they can.

Not in the least. They'll end up being "sponsored by" any and all comers at this rate. I met up with some friends who're delegates, they were not complimentary about the business interest who had paid to be there. "Totally against Labour values" was one comment.

Non-Native NHS workers cared for me when I had a miscarriage in 2015. Non-Native NHS workers cared for me many times when I had health emergencies, they cared for my mum when she was dying of cancer, they cared for my nan in a care home.
They keep the NHS running. They deserve thanks, not this.

Trump "joking" about the US being at war so he doesn't have to call an election in 3 years, while Zelenskiy is sat right there, laughing nervously and wondering if he just put the idea of WW3 in the crazy-fuck's head, is a fucking vibe.

John Boyne says LGBTQ+ fiction prize backlash brought him ‘close to the edge’
John Boyne says LGBTQ+ fiction prize backlash brought him ‘close to the edge’
Gender critical novelist urges writers to reenter prize they boycotted and may ask judges not to shortlist his novella
The gender critical Irish novelist John Boyne has said he has been brought “very close to the edge” by the backlash to his inclusion on the longlist for a literary prize for LGBTQ+ authors.
Ten authors and two judges withdrew from the Polari prize and more than 800 writers and publishing industry workers signed a petition calling on Polari to remove Boyne’s novella Earth from its longlist. Continue reading...

If you buy your sandwich for the day instead of making it at home you're costing yourself about £25 a week. £1300 a year. Over ten years that's £13000!
Which isn't anywhere near enough for a house deposit so people who bought their house in 1995 should stfu and let you yum up your sandwich.

I stood, unchanging, as the pillars of time crumbled to dust. Dead galaxies carried my name in the flames of their last novae, a whisper to terrify newborn stars. I stand, and I remember. I remember when there were only four channels.

I was there before the dirt knew the taste of bones. The Sun would speak my name before it set, casting darkness to me like seeds to a bird. I plucked the first flower and laid it on my Mother's grave. I remember spitting out the seeds of Eden's fruit and drinking Crystal Pepsi!
