Ricky Gervais on meeting Roy Keane:
"It was like meeting a long lost brother. We immediately bonded over hating things. Lateness, leaf blowers, fireworks, and people in general."

@BallouxFrancois End times, man. It's like something out of Tolkien.

@AnaKrivolapova The most attractive thing is for a person to do all that and fail. Just excites my utter admiration and a deep and nowadays necessary desire to protect them. I want to protect people.
English
The most attractive thing a person can do is isolate for a long time and emerge with something impressive. Music, writing, sculpture, whatever it is: shows competence, passing the marshmallow test, inner dialogue, patience, commitment, bravery in the face of potential failure

The calcuation how much of the MAGA base support Trump' war seems to be fatally skewed by researchers not counting MAGA members as MAGA anymore once they stop supporting him, so the figure is always 100%

Yeah, it's a great quote. But he frames it like one has any choice in the matter. A greater thinker said this:

My boring take is, if you watch all of Shakespeare's history plays in one go ( 54 hours ) you realise he actually did believe in the divine right and succession of kings. And that Shakespeare without the supernatural is not Shakespeare.

My boring take is that Shakespeare is a Christian Humanist.

It's raining. Always remember a right wing teacher (early monetarist) saying when it rains it always favours the right because the left (feckless, lazy, working class) can never find within themselves sufficient motivation to get out and vote, stick instead in front of TV etc
English
It's a fascinating modern problem in Western democracies: the useful vote vs the vote of conviction. I think it's a supple thing, neither one nor the other works in all times and all places. The useful vote leads to cynicism the vote of conviction to purism. Middle way.

Huge presence, right kind of politician, but I've an awful fear she's going to let in Dati; back to the Front Populaire in Paris please.

It's also really dark. Much darker than when Mozart got his hands on it. It's about the right to depucelage.

I don't know how to explain it, human beings just expand and become more serious, they're not 'characters' any more they become your own passions, dreams, greatest aspirations, hopes.

If you enjoyed Louis Malle's riff on Chekov, Vanya on 42nd Street with it's conceit of taking place in rehearsal, Jacques Veber's Atelier Figaro, a riff on Beaumarchais' Marriage Figaro is really worth watching. France TV Replay.

@BODY_W0_WHORGAN I saw them then at (i think) the Roundhouse and I was stoned and they gave me a serious anxiety attack from which, without much exaggeration, I've never really fully recovered. total truth

Could you fucking IMAGINE what it was like hearing Suicide in 1977? Like I feel like it wouldn't even be something you could conceive of, we'll probably never experience anything like that

Most beautiful urban place in the world. Will post up Ian Nairn later on that very view. The prose is magnificent

Of course it was boborised during the time I was there. When I was first there they experimented with public aparies in Place des Rigoles. but they were swiftly vandalised. Wouldn't be now. Paris, oh my ❤️
