I can't help but feel I experienced the world in microcosm on the way to the shop today.
I saw a queue of cars stuck trying to enter a single lane tunnel. I thought the roadworks on the other side must have caught everyone out with the different traffic lights.
Then I got closer. 1/9

Amongst everything else, I'm thinking about how eager the UK press were initially to swallow the Met's lie that Jean Charles de Menezes was a terrorist after they executed him in a tube station

'Revenge porn' is a misnomer we've all been using.
Pornography requires consent.
'Revenge porn' is sexual abuse. Sending unsolicited nudes, is sexual abuse. Someone flashing their junk at you, is a crime.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Kiera Knightly was in the pub when I was out with my friends for birthday drinks about 6 years ago. I clocked her and then ignored her and enjoyed my evening with my pals.
Please quote this from the time you didn't interact with someone famous.
I was visiting with family in New Bedford, Massachusetts, at the same time that Mother Theresa was there visiting her Missionaries of Charity. The bishop held a Mass for her at the church where I was baptized. I didn't go.

Catching a train from Bristol Temple Meads, but they shifted the service along the platform because a scene from THE OUTLAWS was being shot where it would usually come in. The scene featured Christopher Walken and Stephen Merchant, but my train came before they shot it so I didn't see either of 'em.

Yes, this was always the plan; all the po-faced politicians finger-wagging you about the two-state solution fully understood it was bullshit, and that the actual goal was “get rid of the Palestinians by any means necessary”.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
