What’s everyone wearing to the corry naysh tomorrow x
Absolutely loving The Diplomat. A show where a woman not far off 50 is brilliant, in demand way over her brilliant husband, sexy, smelly, hates dresses, fancies the hot Foreign Secretary, identifies brilliant female colleagues and everyone wants to be VP. Just brilliant.

Shame you guys aren’t quite as on it when someone gets raped or mugged. But what are lowly people when the safety of gold carriages are at stake?

Our tolerance for any disruption, whether through protest or otherwise, will be low.
We will deal robustly with anyone intent on undermining this celebration.

Reportedly dating Taylor Swift does for musicians what being put in the Bond frame does for actors - simultaneously puts them on the map and buggers up their life, because suddenly vast numbers of people know who they are and have an absolute binary opinion on them.

Despite the fact this was the six-pack of young men’s conversation (looks good, not v common IRL), should be shown to teenage lads. If 10% gets through it’s a PSA.

Christ alive, "By 2024, the average British household will likely have a lower living standard than the average household in Slovenia" - more Brexit sunny uplands. Interesting/depressing to see how Britain is seen in the eyes of outsiders:
This is wankily disingenuous on both sides. It's no one else's business what other people do, & getting offended by someone's decision to go to a party is pathetic. But it's also not going to the 'most important historical event of our age.' It's an old man putting on a hat.

This is such a powerful piece from . The need to tear ourselves away from "culture wars" and focus on the system faults that allow things like the #PostOfficeScandal to happen is acute - and too few do anything about it.

I'm increasingly with the kids. Anyone over 40 should be banned from social media.

This is just embarrassing. A kid with an iPhone and a TikTok could do better. Did they pay actual money for this?

More of the ‘sunny uplands’ of Brexit. At what point can we admit this has become the equivalent of those teenagers who advertise a party on social media for clout and a huge mob turn up to break the house? The grownups are needed back:
Absolutely love the interviews Kara Swisher does with these tech bros. Her technique underlines how ludicrously fawning and coddling almost all mainstream journalism has become. She absolutely does not give AF how famous anyone is.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, Meghan Markle looks like she’s been to the hairdressers not like she’s planning a fucking coup. Give it a bloody rest, you absolute weirdos:

Aw, Jerry Springer. You made every 90's school kids' 'sick' days completely f'in bonkers. A time when, age 11, you could watch 3 lunatics in a threesome (now throuple) knock the shit out of each other between Neighbours and Home and Away.

Chatting to teens about this Snapchat AI. They now have homework. Half have to watch the movie 'Her' and the other half have to watch the movie 'Ex Machina.'
Will reconvene on Monday to discuss thoughts.

‘Welcome to Poundtown’ sign in your house selling ad definitely makes you look marginally less sociopathic than a Live, Laugh, Love one.

JFC, I think this lady was hoping for ‘whoa, you’re the world’s most rad mum’ - wasn’t really what she got.
What exactly does she think she’s setting him up for in life other than diabetes and infamy on top of a bell tower?
When it goes off, everyone should simultaneously start convulsing and growling like the infected do in 28 Days Later, and then stop and go about their day.

Totally unable to tell parody from truth now - obviously know this is a parody account, but had to check it was actually Oliver Dowden and not the Milky Bar Kid, 30 years on.
Quote Tweet
We’re excited to announce the appointment of Oliver Dowden as Deputy PM.
His extensive experience in roles such as ‘Minister Without Portfolio’ and ‘Secretary’ plus his recent position in the Duchy of Lancaster and his 2 years experience in PR ensure we are in safe hands.
Odds-on the Home Counties' Patrick Bateman now starts writing for the Mail, in a column that obsesses over 'snowflake' and 'woke' culture with the same alacrity Dan Wootton obsesses over the Sussexes.

So, the new #BlueTick system denominates you are daft enough to send the second richest man in the world your cash? Excellent system!!!
Shall we see if we can get these (mostly) dudes to pay for porn as well?! See also: Trump NFT's.

OK, can we call like a week-long lockdown to see if we can trick the weather into how it was in Spring of 2020? Tired of socks and jumpers now.

So Elon Musk's 4/20 #SpaceX rocket smoked too much, blew up and a lot of people laughed. Imagine that's pretty much how all his high school parties went.

You know what's really depressing? That the opinions of these know-nothing blowhards are in anyway based on knowledge or expertise. Limbic system rewards, my pert arse.
And why do they both permanently look like they're straining to push out a post-opiate dreadnaught.

Elon Musk really doesn’t like that women have access to birth control and abortions.
