So far this year: Visit from the Goon Squad - Jennifer Egan Fake Heroes - Otto English Blue Lightning - Anne Cleeves Die with Zero - Bill Perkins Snow - John Blanville Death of the Author - Nnedi Okorafor (I finished this book a couple of weeks ago and I'm still unsure as to how I feel about...

Agreed people have always been impressionable to some degree. And you're right, some can take in advice, filter it, and apply what works, while others fall hard into the extremes. That’s exactly why we need to be careful about what messages are being amplified. Toxic masculinity gets called out...

It’s the football equivalent of a City fan cancelling their Sky Sports subscription in protest of them showing too many United games, then deciding to purchase a United season ticket instead.

Sorry hilts, not sure what part of my post you're referring to as untrue? I'm stating that not voting for one of the main parties because you don't trust politicians, but will instead vote for a party filled with the most untrustworthy politicians imaginable, makes no sense.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to change things about yourself to boost your confidence, whether that’s hitting the gym, learning a skill, or whatever works. The problem is when it stops being about self-improvement and starts being about dominance, control, and tearing others down, which is...

Not fancying the two main parties is perfectly understandable, but to cast a protest vote for a party teeming with the very dregs of humanity, the sort who make stepping in dog shit seem like a pleasant surprise, is some flex.

I looked into him and it turns out even the Democrats can’t do scandal properly either these days, he’s not even old enough to be her father. I appreciated much of what he had to say; for those centre-right Dems, he could be seen as a more palatable version of Bernie Sanders. The big names are...

I think he's said multiple times that they don't.

I saw Senator Chris Murphy on the Daily Show the other night. Hadn't come across him before, but I liked the cut of his jib.

You mean the moment he decided to correct Vance's bollocks? It was there to be signed, until the two man babies desperately lacking a nanny decided to pull some bully-boy tactics, Vance was purposely trying to antagonise him and Trump fearing being upstaged joined in. it's as if they didn't...

They were this week. Zelenskyy met MBS, and a Ukraine delegation met with Rubio and a US delegation.

If you would have treated Zelenskyy worse than Trump did, you must have been apoplectic about how he treated Netanyahu, and that he hasn't asked the Israelis and the Palestinians to compromise, and he continues to support Israel's war effort? Let's be clear, Trump hasn't asked Putin to...

Interested to learn what legitimate security concerns Russia has? Is it the terrifying threat of Estonia? That well-known military juggernaut, presumably assembling a fearsome cavalry division, mounted on particularly aggressive reindeer. Imagine the sleepless nights in Moscow, as Latvia...

You make a good point about the unsustainability of the current model. The issue is that capitalism, in its current form, isn't designed for stability, it's built on perpetual growth, which inevitably leads to crisis when that growth stalls. Governments and corporations rely on an ever...

Shifting the UK to the Danish model would require fundamental changes in taxation, public spending, workforce participation, and immigration policy. Denmark sustains its low birth rate and strict immigration stance through high taxes, which fund world-class public services that helps to ensure...

Each one is worse than the last, as it shows we haven't learned a thing.

We're done around 50mins. The amount we concede after this time is ridiculous. Pep might as well make all 5 subs at half-time.

I can usually see the method behind Pep's madness, but today his decisions were just unfathomable. KDB was done after 50mins. He's not got it in him to start games at this level anymore.

Truss does seem to have been bright and talented. One can only assume that at some point she was kicked in the head by a horse. There should be a rule that MPs cannot be fast-tracked into safe-seats without first living in and serving the community they wish to represent (either working with a...
