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

It's weird as a Brit seeing how American schools build so many prestigious and apparently bitterly contested hierarchies into the system. You have the football team, the cheerleaders, honor student/a valedictorian, maybe a marching band, and kids build their society around them?
if you went to a British state school, it is incredibly unlikely that you knew or cared who was on any of your school's sports teams. I had a couple of friends who were national level competitors and that was a niche fact at best.
I remember somebody saying years ago that Americans missed this because that genre just wasn't as much of A Thing over here, leading to takes going awry. E.g., "Harry is a jock" doesn't really work, because the protagonist of a genre school story isn't a "jock" in the American sense.

NFL MANAGEMENT: "We need a Super Bowl act who are Republican-coded, apolitical, love fascism and would never criticise the president."

i am genuinely sort of surprised they went with bad bunny and then *added* green day, neither of whom have any incentive to stay quiet and both of whom have every incentive to make a big spectacle scene of it
the best part is that this is going to happen anyway, the NFL know what they’re doing

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

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.

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.
