I *genuinely* think it’s Jared Leto.

Our first experience of German trains: Show up fifteen minutes early. “Excuse me, it looks like our train is cancelled?” “Oh no, it’s still going.” “Thank goodness.” “From a station on the other side of the city. The connection leaves in four minutes.” [we did somehow make it]

“So be clear: I won’t visit my mother or see my friends and you won’t have regular piss-ups.” “S-sure.” “OK, it’s just… you hesitated again.”

I think i‘d lean addendum: you can easily dislike someone and hold them to a high standard (though I do think Partygate was truly appalling but maybe that’s my Britishneas speaking).

Pah! It takes mere seconds to click ‘Autogenerate’.

This is why you’re best served doing it in a panic in the days before deadline.

Um? The actual quote is: “Get your cold dead hands off me, you damn dirty ape!”

Sam, you can’t just continue sentences indefinitely: they’ve got to stop somewhere - there’s a limit to how long they can stretch on and on; you simply have to use a full stop at some point; you can’t use semi-colons forever (some might argue it’s actually kinder to the reader)

Alright well we’re all going to end up looking silly if we have to disclose what football team we support.

That’s right, haha, there’s no mob in the UK. And may I just express my fondness for Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis?

A slight aside but her taking herself and her department off Twitter - while welcome - had huge “Oh shit, new boss, better look busy!” vibes.

Don’t kink shame.

No, sometimes it’s a sex loft conversion.

“Sam, you have to embrace these people when they come around to your way of thinking.” [pointing a flamethrower while I carry out the blood test from John Carpenter’s The Thing] Absolutely! With open arms!

It’s funny* because it’s like: “I’ve decided to recognise objective reality.” Me: “Alright, what’s the angle? You want me to invest in KyivCoin? The only way we can tackle climate change is mass deportations? What?”

Yeah, it’s very weird when my dad, who gave me a copy of The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists for my twenty-first birthday with a handwritten note, comes out with some Kemi-adjacent nonsense because he’s had it drilled into him by The Times.

Look, he’s resigned, someone else is PM now, you can stop calling him names.

Interesting. And now, the rebuttal:

Yeah, the inverted horror approach of Begins is really effective.

I’m not sure if it’s the Marvel movie with the most “And this person will be relevant in another film or TV show within the next five to ten years!” or if it just feels unusually tasteless.
