Even if this were viable as a concept (that there's an afterlife; that it allows conversations with others; that enslavers are going the same place as you), who cares? Oh, are you mad at me, Ben Franklin? Tough shit.

It’s the confidence in this statement that is most galling.

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

Half of Gillis’ act when he is hosting is going “ok, that didn’t land, you’re gonna hate this one” and i think it’s fair to hold him to account because he makes a deal about having marginalised people in his family when it suits him. Knowing a disabled person is not a get out of jail free card

You can’t write this 😆😆

they said the left and the right just need to sit down and talk to each other and they were absolutely right. this is the greatest conversation of all time.

Turns out comedy is a flat circle too, or in Shane Gillis’ case, a fat circle

That’s my new weigh-in patter

There was a period (I think it was 2014 World Cup through to the Maybot regime) where Marina Hyde and Barney Ronay were writing some of the finest and most hilarious columns. Still great writers, but y’know how familiarity works. What a run. End of an era, Bon voyage Marina.

I’m proud to sign two bills celebrating California’s car culture, history, and the communities that have shaped it. Jay Leno’s Law makes it easier for Californians to preserve and enjoy their classic cars. And soon, a new specialty license plate will celebrate our state’s iconic lowrider heritage!

The Orange Order should be a proscribed organisation. Have your little walk off a short pier.

Man, that Unabomber movie on Netflix is really bad. Unimaginative cinematography and writing, line readings from Wicked Pictures, not a single background in focus 👎🏼

Wow. That’s fucked up

Disagree this is widespread but it certainly exists, often alongside 'my enemy's enemy is my friend'. The failure of the decent centre right at this moment is actively harming our country. Much as I would love to always have a left-wing Gov, the necessity of a decent centre right is surely obvious?

Just saw Odyssey in a proper IMAX, and have to say it’s a bit much isn’t it? Doesn’t really feel like watching a movie. A bit like putting your face up to the telly when you were a kid.
