Footballers who pretend to be more hurt than they are should be forced to visit an 8 year old child who's dressed up as a doctor on the side of the pitch, and only be allowed to come back on when said child is bored of using their toy stethoscope and bandages on them.

Love that for security reasons, the Hanukkah party is at a secret location that won't be disclosed online at any time and only emailed to attendees the day before.

Thinking of starting a club for supporting folk whose gullibility caused them to waste a ton of money joining a club created to rinse people of their money. £500k membership.

“If there’s one way of losing a vast sum of money very quickly, it’s investing in a private members’ club.” @seththevoz.bsky.social, quoted in this wonderful piece by @joshspero.ft.com:
London’s private members’ club scene is growing. Just don’t call them clubs
Undeterred by reports of an exodus of the wealthy from the UK, a new breed of institution is opening its doors

On twitter Graham Linehan is going "Woe is me, I nobly sacrificed my career because I bravely took a principled stance on the trans issue. My troubles have nothing to do with me being an insufferable prick who's unable to talk reasonably with people who disagree! I'm a martyr!!!".

“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

In a field given so much thought, where every idea seems to have been explored, recycled and recombined, it's astonishing to read something truly original. This is a brilliant, if haunting, insight, and one that isn't easily leaving my mind.

I have family members who are diabetic. Whenever I'm reminded of this nonsensical and phenomenally cruel aspect of life in the US it shocks me all over again. It is staggering stupid, unfair and self-defeating to run a healthcare system this way.
Ossoff: "She got her new insurance quote & it's $700 more per month than what she's paying now. She's diabetic. She had surgery a few months ago for something else. She told me she cried again bc she realized she's gonna have to cancel her insurance. She believes she might die bc of a policy choice"

It's wild. We have so many real problems as a country, and instead a large chunk of our political class would rather hallucinate that one of the safest big global cities in the world is actually dangerous.
The "London = most dangerous place on the planet" discourse is still going strong on Twitter
I've actually been surprised by how little I've felt threatened as a woman in London (having lived in Tooting and Peckham)
I loved growing up in Nottingham, but I had much, much worse experiences there tbh

It really isn't political rocket science to say that you should consider how your opponents wish to portray you, and maybe you shouldn't lean into that portrayal.

To believe that Labour should shift noticibly to the left is to believe that Labour is more likely to be defeated from the left than the right next election. It is not a serious position.

If people have issues they're concerned about, the correct thing is for the government to address them in line with their values, not decide people are wrong to be concerned about those things. Otherwise a government will be elected to address them that might not give a damn for your values.

A cold wet night takes me to Retford, and so I fancied a nostalgic pint in a pub I once spent a memorable-if-not-exactly-pleasant evening in. Sadly, if not surprisingly closed, and seemingly not that long after the memorable evening. Northern Inn, at least you left your impression.
