#HalfMan isn't about queer love, it's not really even about toxic masculinity, except in a fleeting way. It's about the complexity of the human experience. It speaks to the absurdity of love and attachment when taken to extremes. It's a warning about repressed emotions.

They rely on each other to serve functions that their own defective characters lack. Niall needs to worship Ruben to give meaning to his life of self-loathing. Ruben thrives on the adoration of his brother who "loves" him unconditionally, regardless of his actions #HalfMan

These two broken men, despite their love for each other, are intent on using each other as a means to an end. At times Ruben is little more than a weapon for Niall wield, while Niall is a comfort blanket, soothing Ruben and then being discarded by him #HalfMan

In those final moments Ruben, by his own raging hands, has lost the one thing he has left. His mother is dead, his son is no longer his, his childhood sweetheart is gone. All he has left in this world is his brother who loves him more than anything, and he's lost him #HalfMan

Every character is uniquely unlikeable in their own very human way. It's giving Dostoyevsky and I love it #HalfMan

Complaining about the weather is British culture. In fact it's just about the only part of British culture we have that wasn't stolen from some other culture, so maybe just let us have this one.
Rex v Notan 💫@notanerable

British people: ‘god it’s hot today, anyone else sweating?’ Americans on Twitter: ‘YOU FUCKING PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS EVERY FUCKING YEAR ITS SO FUCKING ANNOYING WHY DO YOU KEEP FUCKING DOING THIS EVERY YEAR I HOPE YOU DIE OF HEAT STROKE SO I DONT NEED TO HEAR IT ANYMORE’ …

Because you have to go through to a special department with greater security when you have a Gender Recognition Certificate. It's just some GDPR bureaucracy nonsense, not a special woke privilege for trans people. Everyone calm down. @Telegraph and @PolitlcsUK are rage-baiting!
Politics UK@PolitlcsUK

🚨 NEW: HMRC has given trans taxpayers lifetime access to a VIP phone line which answers calls twice as fast It claims access is needed to ensure “greater protection” of trans people under equality laws [@Telegraph]

Theresa May was definitely guided by her moral compass, whether you agree with the direction it pointed in or not. That era was a time when both government and opposition were led by two conviction politicians who genuinely believed in the politics they were offering the country
Tory Fibs@ToryFibs

Andy Burnham as Prime Minister would be the first time the UK has led by someone driven by their moral compass since 2010. UK would be more compassionate and fair. Society would be less divided and more common ground would be developed. It’s a chance for the UK to heal again.

The average #HalfMan stan is gunna hate this! Much of the online commentary has been little more than a rejection of nuance. They just want a clear, binary explanation of a complex human story. As popular as it is, it probably isn't really for a general audience. It's wasted.

The internet desperately wants #HalfMan to be a Shakespearean tragedy. If anything it reads like a 20th century existential novel. Complex, unpleasant characters with questionable ethics, suffering primarily from their own actions & confronted with their own desperate humanity.

I want Niall to die first so Ruben faced real consequences of his violence. I want Ruben to unwillingly kill Niall and feel regret for what he has done through the physical abuse and power at least for the first time in his life, so he would just sit there staring in disbelief. I want Ruben to accept that Niall isnt the only one among them that can’t live without the other. I know Ruben started kinda strangling him in the barn but we dont know if he really wants to kill him yet so it is what it is. Idk, I just want Ruben to realize that just as he was the soundtrack for Niall’s greatest moments, Niall was the same for his.

MPs do an astounding amount of case work for their constituents who contact them. Some MPs have to take on multiple volunteers to help because their staff can't do it alone. An MPs budget is usually around 75% staffing costs. Unpopular opinion, but a good MP does a lot of work.
Jim Jackson@PapaJim1977

I genuinely don't think an MP requires an office or staff either. They are simply ripping the country off and in the main, most are giving absolutely nothing back to the country. There are far too many politicians and far too many of them are career politicians that haven't worked a single day in their life.

@dojasbin Do you think the wedding scenes that jump back from are the present day? That would make them in their mid 50s? They look younger 🤔

@dojasbin Ah, that makes much more sense if he was sentenced around 93-94. That probably places episode 4 around 08-09 which feels about right for the style of the phones and stuff.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of sexuality. The idea that a man who was married to a woman for 14 years must, by definition, be bisexual is flawed both ontologically & epistemologically. It's not even about how someone identifies. Just think about the terms of definition
דניאל ⚣ ⚔️🎗️@dortell_

It's none of my business how Caleb Shomo calls himself, but if I may be so bold as to comment on this matter: people would be much more sympathetic if obvious bisexuals came out as such, therefore not invalidating the decades of sex and love they shared with their wives...🤷‍♂️
