Every day from now until Christmas (if I remember), I'm going to post a really weird Christmas song here.
I'm going to start with this one, mostly because I like to imagine the parallel universe where J-pop is as big in the West as K-pop, and this gets played in supermarkets youtu.be/iHYKlPLQgS0

Something I've been thinking since reading this bit in James Marriott's Substack is that Kemi Badenoch is in many ways the politician of the future:she avowedly does not, by her own account, have time for deep reading, her luxury items were *all of the Marvel movies*, etc etc.
Is parliament now post-literate?, beware declining superpowers, thankfulness, awe and wonder, and how AI destroys institutions
Plus a couple of book recommendations

just to say, he specifically says he isn't looking for forgiveness with this, so it's not required for us to forgive him now, or even later. it's about understanding, and you don't need to feel positive about someone to understand what he's laid out here

There was a tweet that went viral when Kanye was first diagnosed, saying "Well, MY friend with bipolar didn't become racist" and I really just wanted to reply "Congratulations to your friend for being better at bipolar I guess?"
A lot of people saying: ‘mental illness doesn’t excuse this’. Actually it kind of does.
Ye, fka Kanye West, takes out a full-page in the Wall Street Journal to apologize to the Black community, and for antisemitism:
“I lost touch with reality”

Kanye West getting well through Reddit was not on my bingo card but, NGL, this statement is great.
People are all supportive of people’s mental health until they’re actually demonstratively unwell or say something fucked up. It’s like if you reach a certain threshold you’re beyond the pale.

"One of our most unpopular Home Secretaries has resigned and joined our opponents."
"Excellent, put out a statement calling her mad."
"What?"
"Be very, very clear that we tried to help her with her mental health, but we will now publicise them to score points."
"Kemi.."
"Those. Exact. Words."

Fun fact - the last three women bake-off judges have all been closely related to former Tory ministers who were also speechwriters for a PM.
Prue Leith - Danny Kruger (Cameron)
Caroline Waldegrave - William (Heath)
Nigella - Nigel (Macmillan + Douglas-Home)

I think what both have in common is that in the modern age, you are always only one click away from either being screamed at by idiots or having to look at an idiot's opinion. A hugely radicalising experience for many people!
