It’s weird how, as a writer in say 2002, the only way to reach people in bulk was by collecting email addresses. And in 2026 the only method is… collecting email addresses

If they want me back they have to go fully Woke 2, sorry. Whole hog. I gotta be able to get an abortion there

In 24 hours on the road I have seen drivers say thanks out the window for a merge by throwing a) a peace sign and b) a shaka. Dudes are so back

The trick to catching anchovies is that first you have to send out a tiny little boat

I fucken love figure skating

That was an incredible skate to win from fifth. The whole Japanese team has been next level. Nakai Ami just walked out in the singles on senior debut at 17 and put up a huge score, flawless skate, and none of the more senior competitors could catch her

Broadly of the philosophy that societies should lock up the people on the huge child abuse list instead of locking up the migrants who committed no crimes

The dull-minded fucks who are running things these days are not normal. They're not a majority. They're fucking weirdos & freaks, scared of their own shadows. Humans are creative, cooperative, & curious, they like novelty & diversity, they like movement & evolution & *life*. Fuck this death cult.

Ahh, fuck. I’m sorry, Greg. His dream about the whales was a story that stayed with me so vividly, to the point that I bought two copies of the painting to hang in different rooms, so the creatures could call to each other.

A masterpiece, illustrating the salad bar as the inspirational concept it truly is

My only concern is that there’s no way she connects that swing clean enough to start celebrating, that’s a grounder past third base at best

The shivery murmur of understanding by the crowd at about 1:20 is one of those extraordinary small human moments

Matt Damon has Finnish and Scottish ancestry, no doubt a bunch of incels will get real mad that he’s going to play a Greek dude

That’s a twist. Some reallllll tedious books about floorplans coming up. β€œMy next one is titled Lots of Natural Light…”

Though with the hundreds of pages spent describing buildings and streets, maybe Victor Hugo is the first real estate novelist?

Huh. I always assumed it meant a guy who wrote the gushing listings for house sales, but now realise that I’ve never for a second questioned that. Wouldn’t the agent do it? It can’t be a separate job?

Your guys might kill people, but one thing they will never do is β€œoutsmart” them

Was once again astonished by how many British people came to the Ashes and got sunburned. We should play ads about that on the inbound plane instead of the β€œwe will kill you for fruit and vegetables” ones

it’s, uh… not great, is it? No lines to latch onto, musically or lyrically. Nice of him to try.

Truly insane to have government ministers shilling a private industry product that doesn’t work and that they don’t understand
