Ruin a book by adding a word: Bleak House Party

TFW you publish a post that takes off and only then do you spot the small but embarrassing typo that your iPhone’s auto text helpfully introduced. Ah well …

Does it make me a bad person to fervently wish that every single Republican POS hounding Dr Fauci in this ridiculous sham ‘hearing’ contacts a treatment-resistant strain of COVID and dies gasping for help? Oh well. I guess I’m a bad person, then. 🤷‍♂️

The excellent @doctorow.pluralistic.net articulating why it’s right to despise AI better than I ever could (and with many fewer f-bombs). 👇

Making our way up to that Melbourne for drinks and frivolity with the excellent @bpkaufmann.bsky.social. Those not wishing to hear great ill spoken of far-right idiots like Hanson, Trump & Farage are advised to vacate the area. Cheers! 🍻

Just read the Bookseller (UK) article on bullying. Not surprised at all. Not in the slightest. By the results or the boilerplate response. I’ve seen more healthy cultures in a Petri dish.

I’m only about a fifth through Sarah Wynn-Williams’ CARELESS PEOPLE and it’s already apparent that Mark Zuckerberg is an emotionally stunted, petulant little brat. And that’s before the Facebook IPO that skyrocketed his net worth. I do not expect my impression of him to improve as I read further.

Fuck me, is Kobbie Mainoo invisible? Seriously WTF? 🤷‍♂️🤬

Haaland off? Big, big call. He must be exhausted.

What, exactly, has Kobbie Mainoo done to offend Tuchel? I mean, is Rice has to come off but you replace him with Eze, why the hell did you select Mainoo in the first place? 🤷‍♂️

Having lived in England for almost 20 years, I consider it my second home and second team. But if it’s true that Harry Kane played golf with the tangerine traitor, then I’m backing Norway. 🇳🇴

I’m sorry, I stand corrected.

Fair to say Lukaku is not as mobile as he once was.

I must say, despite my fears, the ref has had a very good game, this far.

I genuinely, honestly feel for the US players and fans, who are completely blameless in this red card fiasco. It’s 100% the fault of Infantino and Trump. Nevertheless, any result other than a Belgian win is a travesty of justice. Go, the Red Devils 🇧🇪

Go on! ⚽️

So, what are the odds of the USA getting a 98th minute penalty tomorrow? 100/1-on?
