Since the winner of the Booker Prize will be announced tonight, a reminder that Muriel Spark helped spread a rumour during the 1994 ceremony that Iris Murdoch’s husband was stealing potatoes from guests' plates 🥔

GAH. Got kids and us tickets to Hamilton tonight, show has just been cancelled and the run seems mostly sold out. Have been trying to get eldest tix since his 10th birthday present was disrupted by COVID, he is now 14. ☹️

I initially read this as "pressing Giles Coren to death"....
19 Sep 2024
Today in 1692, one of the most legendary badasses of all times died. Giles Corey, 81, of Salem, MA refused to testify as to whether or not he was a witch. To force a confession, heavy stones were piled on him for 2 days. His last words? "More weight."

That time when Burne-Jones took time away from all the pre-Raphaeliting to draw dragon school for tiny dragon tots

If you saw that clip of the Israeli podcasters enthusiastically embracing genocide, and wondered what kind of poison a person's brain would need to marinate in, and for how long, to lead them to think and speak in that way, this thread is grimly clarifying

🧵This clip is circulated as example of how low Israeli discourse sunk during the war, but imo its other way round: "Radio Rwanda" has been our background noise for decades. It's a cause, not consequence, of Israeli wanton cruelty in Gaza.
Here's my journal entry from Nov 2007..

I think what I object to most about the 'Dublin as warzone' rhetoric, aside from the insufferable melodrama, is that it's acting as fog for the various very real civic management crises that we, the people of Dublin, have been pointing out for two decades. TLDR - shut the fuck up

Best wishes to Rhasidat in her race tonight. We are all so proud here in St Marks Senior School. Here is a photo of her competing in the CLG Primary Sports in Morton Stadium Santry. She proves that you should always have the confidence to dream big. @rhasidatadeleke @RTEsport

Daniel Wiffen uploaded this video to his YouTube channel yesterday morning showing all the free gear the Olympians get.
This is how he starts the video off 😂😂

Had to pop to the shop for something at the end of my run, which means I'm now walking along with this as if I'm about to swig it as a sports drink.

If we could all just take a moment to appreciate the stunning cinematic beauty of this scene.
The bravado, the little shake of the hips, the half brick to the back of the head and, of course, the coup de grâce…..the agonizing strike to the knackers.
10/10😍

In attempt to get ourselves retrospectively cancelled and maybe a boxset, here's The Jimmy Cake disrespecting Christianity about 20 years ago. Beat that Olympics
