This is very important. @horrornonna.com & I need 14 of you to help us. I’m dropping you into the middle of the 🧵 bc it’s safer to scroll up than to be confronted immediately. Probably. Sidle up, make no sudden movements. Think only the purest thoughts, because it will know. It knows everything.

I would love to spend a week having coffee with friends and just discussing this article

The Real Housewives of Moscow
Russian women were early to feminism. Now, though, their vision of liberation can look strangely like the domestic trap they were supposed to escape.

Before attending negotiations, all the US and EU participants should attend a midnight screening of the just-released documentary “Sisu: Road to Revenge”

Russia promises not to attack any EU country. It also claims that it never attacked Ukraine. It claims that it never attacked anyone, only ever defended itself. Warsaw and Vladivostok just happened to become parts of a Russian empire defending itself.

While CNN is re-airing a documentary about Live Aid with Phil Collins playing concerts in London and Philadelphia on the same day, Lil Jon has done the contemporary, Gen X equivalent by performing today at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in NYC and TNF in Baltimore.

(Acela? Town car? Tour bus?)
If I had a nickel for every time Lil Jon performed Turn Down For What on NBC, *TODAY*, I’d have two nickels.

Which feels like two nickels too many… but also too few.

Must be the best camera operator job out there because they’ve all clearly been doing this for 30 years

In the mid seventies, we were never more than a day or two away from a potential coup in the UK. Usually orchestrated by a retired Brigadier General from his garden furniture in mid Sussex.

Longer assessment here. There are genuine positives to be found. But by christ there's a lot to criticise too.

Downside: There is no plan and no courage. No attempt to sort the tax system. No strategy for the economy, like the one @johnspringford.bsky.social suggests here getting-out-of-the-hole.uk. Even good policies, like mansion tax, simply fiddle for pennies instead of properly reforming property tax.

Plus sides to today: Two-child benefit scrapped. Largely progressive tax implications. Good market reaction. No big spending cuts. Nightmare prospect of cutting funding to net zero etc avoided. It's a left-wing budget. Those who say there's no difference between Labour and Tories are bananas.

Point of order, Counselor: The Adventures of Brisco County III, with Bruce Campbell as the exasperated mentor figure. Brisco III is a Hollywood cowboy instead of the real deal. Doug Jones co-stars as Lon Chaney, who is in disguise in every episode.

Lots of very very valid Hamilton criticisms out there but nothing will ever convey the agonizing longing of ambition -and- the overwhelming insomniac horror of being the only person fully committed to the group project as “Hamilton wrote the other 51!”
