he also said that 80% of antifa's members are landlords and if you lower the cost of housing, you basically starve the network of its financing

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

My lust for Cavill transcends political correctness. It manifests at a cellular level and cannot be controlled.

NEW! Joanne Sheppard (@redskyatnight.bsky.social) joins me for a chat about Deadpool And Wolverine, which starts as a profound discussion about rehabilitating less successful films but then just turns into a race to see who can get 'cancelled' first...

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Don’t be sorry - it was me who completely failed to come and find you, not the other way round!

I have a feeling they used to make the announcement before loads of US shows, even some from the 70s.

Also I have been to the US three times and concluded that the main reason they smother everything in the same limited range of sauces and pre-mixed seasonings seems to be because American meat tastes of *literally nothing*

Yes! Also @benbaker.bsky.social to whom I was going to say hello but ended up missing him because my other half was, in accordance with @ricardoautobahn.co.uk’s instructions, buying a t-shirt

This is absolutely the kind of thing he’d do. He’s usually more subdued at this time of year as he’s gearing up for hibernation but I was at my mum’s last week he was trundling about all over the place.

Also, I work in a field where an arts or humanities degree is infinitely more useful than a STEM one. I’ve worked in organisations full of scientists and engineers for decades and they really, really need people like me to do a lot of important stuff that they’re really fucking bad at.

Also. It always rankles that THEY got to study “pointless” shit like the CLASSICS and now want to pull the ladder up so the bloody little poor people don’t get to better themselves and their lives with the enrichment education such as that brings. Bastards

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

I did have incredible hair as a small child. I look at photos now and I’m in awe. I wish it was still as thick as that!

I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing either. I also haven’t seen Back To The Future.

My boyfriend, who is 57 years old, has never seen a James Bond film.

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 6d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
