Reading The Third Policeman for the first time… what the fuck is this shit? I feel like I’m Bob Ferguson on the phone with Comrade Josh and neither of us can hang up. I detest the very experience of reading this novel. I will recommend it to everyone I know

You get to a level where this becomes a norm and nobody is even talking about it.
Harry Kane’s standards are out of this world.

Timothee Chalamet SLAMS Frédéric Moreau in Sentimental Education: "He is merely a foolish aesthete who for us readers barely rises above the status of mid-19th century enfant terrible caricature." Fans of Flaubert's 1869 bildungsroman reportedly furious

@scotthraines McCarthy is a second-order cosplay of The Writer playing at Melville and Faulkner. He's fine, but more flavour than substance, and is venomously American.

Cormac McCarthy is a good metric for how well you can read—it’s not the faux literary fluff that gets praised today, but it’s also not readily apparent to the reader. So much is said in what is unsaid, so you have to really read. For example:
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo
I read the first hundred pages of The Road last year, and read the first hundred pages of Blood Meridian this year, and in both instances, gave up, because the books never clicked. Lyrical writing, but the characters are reduced to way down Maslow's hierarchy, and the tone is so relentlessly bleak, with almost no humanity breaking through, it was difficult to feel anything besides the flint clicking against the cold steel in the overwhelming darkness. I know many of you love it, but to me, it's overwrought, overstylized, and overhyped.

this oscar’s has really demonstrated for me the scale at which complete media illiteracy is currently dominant, and in particular how many adults have taste in culture that is indistinguishable from children

I wonder if Israel's earlier strike on Iran's gas facilities might have caused this, Keir?
We're nowhere near diplomatic de-escalation because Keir still does not recognise or even acknowledge who is determining the escalatory path: Israel
The diplomacy of children.
Keir Starmer@Keir_Starmer
I condemn in the strongest terms the overnight Iranian strike on a Qatari gas facility. We are working towards a swift resolution to the situation in the Middle East, in the best interests of the British people – because there is no question that ending the war is the quickest way to reduce the cost of living.

Israel is threatening to destroy Tyre.
Tyre (Sour) is Lebanese. But also part of world history: cradle of Phoenician seafaring, source of Tyrian purple - the colour of Roman Emperors, the birthplace of Stoicism, and site of Alexander’s famous siege.
An assault on us all.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- as much as I love Woolf she despised Ulysses because its heroes are the poor and working class and she was born wealthy, with all the biases about art that entails. she also immediately tried to write her own Ulysses with Mrs Dalloway so
Bret van den Brink@BretVDB
Virginia Woolf’s diary entries on James Joyce’s Ulysses: “An illiterate, underbred book it seems to me; the book of a self taught working man, and we all know how distressing they are, how egotistic, insistent, raw, striking, and ultimately nauseating. … I finished ‘Ulysses’ and think it is a misfire. Genius it has, I think; but of the inferior water. The book is diffuse. It is brackish. It is pretentious. It is underbred, not only in the obvious sense, but in the literary sense. A first-rate writer, I mean, respects writing too much to be tricky; startling; doing stunts.”

Iran is engaged in the most justified war I've ever seen in my life.

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

The moment fearless Steve Sweeney is almost killed by the Zionist entity, during an on-the-ground report in Lebanon. 100% premeditated and targeted.

The entire British media is unfit for purpose. They are not across the facts. Have no idea why they’re talking about or any ability to challenge guests when they also don’t know what they’re talking about.
It’s all just a big embarrassing ignorance machine.

Shocking error from Michael Clarke on @skynews just now. Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon wasn't to take out Hezbollah as he claimed. It was to remove Lebanon's government. Hezbollah didn't exist at that time. It emerged in response to that invasion.
