People think I’m joking when I keep saying I would abolish YA literature. No.
You people need to be tied down and forced to read Homer, Shakespeare, and Dante until you’re ready to engage in democratic civic life as well ordered citizens.

one thing i am genuinely convinced of (and my most conservative take) is that we need to bring classical education back
Nobody talks like this anymore.

50% of being an historian in the Real World is avoiding the temptation to loudly say 'Ooh, that was an interesting year!' whenever making a purchase up to about £20 in value..

Nobody would look good in attack without their four best forwards. Arsenal had to muddle through this period with clean sheets. Gave up a soft goal today and never looked like scoring one, let alone two. Disappointing but not a massive surprise.

It's probably too late for Arsenal to return whatever ancient artifact they disturbed to its proper place, right?

If you'd told me in September that Arsenal would beat City 5-1 in the PL but then go out of the League Cup, would I have cared one bit about the second part? Absolutely not. I see no reason to update that perspective.

Arsenal fans can be incredibly annoying.
When I lived in London I could hear someone screaming "please kill me" repeatedly through the wall of my room.
"FAINT GIGGLES!"
Oh my god, have you ever listened to yourself

"The Chiefs dynasty is more annoying than the Patriots ever were" is crazy talk for several reasons, one of them being that the Patriots dynasty forced regular people to think about Boston

The heroic vision of war was always bullshit, but it has become radically more bullshit over time: war doesn't separate the men from the boys, it separates the men from their limbs, functionally at random.

Good things happen when you run into the box, especially the 6-yard box, and towards the goal.

Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳
