Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

I love a bit of spook, tbh. I’m completely superstitious. There’s nothing I enjoy more than a good ghost story.

Something to make them pause and go “hold on… what’s that?” Before trying to teargas you

The axolotl is a vibe. Clearly the main goal should be to pick the most random animal. A platypus would be fun

I’m not sure why you think me reading the thoughts and meditations of Polanski will help the media or general public take him seriously, tbh, but it’s nice you are so optimistic
