Oooooh. The "from another sport" is a nice curveball. People usually just say "introduce a rule" and I say "for every 5 mins of extra time release a lion".

God, it fuuucking sucks, doesn't it? What you create brings people a lot of pleasure and it's a wretched society where that isn't remunerative.

I think hope just means a prominent political actor who we can believe is a good person and can conceive of doing good things.

That's really important right now, because all the votes of despair land with Reform.

I know people have mixed feelings about the term "hope", but Raymond Williams was on to something with “to be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing.”

Yeah, 5"6 cut off, but the archetypal Short King would by 5"5 in my book.

I'm so relieved he's not engaging with any unserious jibes. Only dignifying reasonable questions with answers. We all need to stop being baited. I include myself in that.

zack polanski is so good and i genuinely think if the left rallies around this guy and the green party in the UK, they can easily beat back the hysteria of the reform party

@jonnelledge.bsky.social God, the motability thing in your piece is so grim. Are they even loss-making overall? Anyway, agree with your sentiments, not least because I didn't have to waste frustration and annoyance on this at the time.

You can spice it pretty much how you want, too. I have mine at least half blended, but Si has his chunky. It's a great canvas soup.

Moosewood vegan classic. You can pretty much spice it how you like. It's a great canvas.

I always think Ian's carrying me on ours. I'm slightly more confident on the Blue Room when I'm one of 4-5. But I'll defo seek out more when I get my better mic consistently working.
