If you want to read and listen to reviews of old anime - and I mean really old - then #DouglasWatchesEveryAnime is starting in January.
Once that's up and running, I'll be reviewing music as #LookDadOldTunes, at a site to be determined.

Can’t find a way to write this that doesn’t sound like a twee bromide but genuinely, if your end of year review is that you survived painful things happening in your life & the world, stayed empathetic in an inhospitable environment & treated yourself & others decently then that’s achievement enough

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.

Two men meet in the carpark of a Leeds hospital. They sit on a bench and start chatting. One of them has a bomb in their backpack and the other must talk them out of using it. A mindblowing and entirely true story that reads like a thriller. as.ft.com/r/13756c02-0...

so, this right here? this is one of the absolutely most lawless, brazenly unconstitutional impeachable offenses ever committed by any president other than trump in the history of our country.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I see racists are doing "did you know X% of kids in this city don't have English as a first language!?" shit again.
BILINGUAL. The word you're after is 'bilingual'. Most children who 'don't have English as a first language' have two languages. Sometimes more! Why do you hate this? It's beautiful!

Watching "Black Orchid", DOCTOR WHO, Season 19. It's weird specifically because it's so small and grounded. The relative lack of weirdness, in this context, makes it _really_ weird.

Farage was not only not expelled from Dulwich College, he was made a prefect
And none of that gets to the really cool question: what does it say about our "elite" if someone can be a Nazi in school and a: not be expelled b: actually go on to have considerable influence despite knowledge of said person having been a proper nazi since school
