"A fucking weapon with no grasp of the laws trying to be clever."
- This one.
- Christ, you know it's bad when The Herald has its knives out for Labour.
- Never really understood the argument in Wales that too-high ticket prices lead to more casual fans & fewer everyday ones. Like if a ticket's £40 it goes to someone with a Scarlets shirt & if it's £80 it goes to someone who likes rugby less? Maybe that's true but seems a leap.
- Also, there are people in every sport that follow the national team and not their local club and the reasons are myriad. For the longest time I couldn't afford Sky Sports so the only Scottish football I watched was the national team on free TV. The exact inverse of this supposition.
- Chris is always right episode infinity.
- Shadening the fuck outta this freude.
- Jokes in Star Trek.
- The venn diagram of people who moan about men being emotionally stunted and can't see a portrayal of platonic male love without shrieking "GAAAAAY!!!" is... not actually a circle but you get my point.

- I've asked a lot why contemporary architecture is relatively simple on décor and the answer I keep getting is that stonesmiths are rarer and more expensive nowadays. And sure, makes sense. But also... it must be easier to build things now than a hundred years ago... right?
- I caught a weird amount of shit for saying "Defund The Police" was a stupid slogan, because all opponents had to do to turn people against the (actually popular) concept was repeat the slogan verbatim. "Abolish ICE" isn't that. It means exactly what it says and a majority is in favour of it.
- I keep reasonably abreast of the awful news in this terrible country, and I've literally never heard this phrase before. So I looked it up. It's a Farage line from last year, used here by Charles Hymas at the Telegraph and his reference is another article he wrote in Nov where he used it 7 times.
- There he got the idea from a Camilla Long article in Oct where she quoted Farage. And that's not hugely important in the grand scheme of things perhaps, but it is a neat little example of how viscerally eager the British press are to amplify that fucker and everything he says.
