Oof that's a nasty gash
Tragically today, it’s the 1,985th anniversary of Roman emperor Caligula uttering his memorable last words: “I am alive”

They were shouted defiantly at his Praetorian Guard who were repeatedly stabbing him at the time 🧵

Those lads who chuck tennis balls into cups for ten hours a day to make videos, do you think they're happy? Maybe sometimes they just want to sit at a desk and do some Outlook

Might defend poor James on the Traitors, I think. It's interesting to me that everyone accepted Jessie's stammer and gave her space, but they were FURIOUS about James interrupting them when I don't think he even did it that much. He's the most ADHD human on earth. Some things we're ok accepting

Traitors prediction:
Faz murdered
Rachel: "Do you think I'd be that stupid?"
They are that stupid
Roxy asks Stephen and Rachel if they're traitors, they say no, she skips off
Everyone votes for James and Jade
Rachel bins Stephen

In 2011 I went to Chernobyl and got a better phone signal in Pripyat, a city that had been deserted for 25 years at that point, than l do in 2026 on a Cross Country train between Bristol and Manchester

Yes, yes it is.
