I was cycling through Hackney Wick and got made to wait by a security guard while people filmed a scene from the lamented adaptation of London Fields, starring Amber Heard. Said security guard was the only person I saw.
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

Liz Truss radicalizing on Twitter is like if you were rejected for membership of a doomsday cult and then became a true believer anyway just by reading their Wikipedia page over and over.

Liz Truss is so funny because she might be the first recorded case of Twitter frying the brain of a celebrity without anyone on the platform actually engaging with her.

She became a fascist lunatic by osmosis because she's not important or interesting enough to have a fanbase to pull her right.

Since we are again having this discussion, and now in the UK with draconic legal powers: my thread on Intifada and "globalise the Intifada"
Intifada is uprising. Intifadas are not unique to Palestine. Uprisings can be violent and nonviolent. Intifadas in Palestine were both. It's like shouting revolution. Would you ban the word revolution?

As we hurtle towards Christmas, tis once again the season for exceptionally poor pubmanship.
It's not that difficult ...

• Know what you want before you get served

• Order the Guinness first

• Bring your empties back to the bar

A pub is for life, not just for Christmas ... 🎄🎄🎄

Today's customs union vote is entirely symbolic, it's true. But what does it symbolise that no one is now arguing *for* Brexit?

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value
New from 404 Media: ChatGPT told a violent stalker to continue running his misogynistic and threat-filled podcast despite the “haters,” and to visit more gyms to find women. The man stalked women in multiple states, including touching and following from work

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies.

This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

"It is terrible that Shabana Mahmood faces overt racism for being a high profile Asian woman" = good argument

"The key to ending overt racism against Asians in Britain is that we must Stop the Boats" = a very bad argument indeed, on so many levels

Coverage of the refugee proposals demonstrates why we have such a broken political system. Endless focus on left-wing anger and right-wing support. Basically nothing on whether the reforms will work. They will not, which is why we'll still be here having the same debate in three years.
