Absolutely. It's a controversial take but I've always thought that the existence of an after party is indicative that the original party was shite.

Got thrown out of a party for being too annoying that night, classic me.

An incredible party featuring some of the most extra costume shit there's ever been (three women came as three different Gwen Stefani albums, I went as Bros and ended up running about waving the car from someone's Frankenchrist costume over my head)

Will UK Gov be requiring Scottish ESOL students to switch to A-Level courses or should we continue getting hundreds of them through their SQA accredited National/Higher courses as we've been doing for years?

This is racist bollocks in so many ways

There's no such thing as A Level-standard English

Other UK languages exist

You don't have to be fluent in a language to integrate

Migrants will need A-level standard English to work in UK

The tougher rules will come in force in January as part of wider plans to cut immigration.

An unhinged literary opinion needs to be like Muriel Spark believing T.S. Eliot was sending her coded messages through his plays, not 'hear me out, I don't like Dickens'. That is simply a literary opinion. The hinges are very much intact.

There's nothing like working in a library to rob you of your reverence for books-as-objects. There's lots of books that we can simply recycle. Multiple copies of Microsoft Excel 97 for Dummies don't contribute all that much to the great tapestry of human knowledge.

Alex von Tunzelmann @alexvont.bsky.social · 2d

And where does this reverence end? Must we faithfully preserve all crumbling copies of old travel guides? Phone books? The Highway Code? Of course archives should hold a few copies, but all of them?

Soundtrack was very good throughout I thought but yeah not much really happens beyond camera roving over muscles like it's mounted on a helicopter. Vaporwave Star Spangled Banner was good too.
