I will never understand how this wasn’t the end for either of these deranged brats. Every milquetoast brownnoser who elevated or defended them hoping for a crumb from their unearned power should be ashamed. You knew. The evidence was right there. But you liked standing near the big boys.

I'm watching Wicked. I feel like I've taken acid. There's Andy Nyman and Cat Valentine from Victorious and a wolf gynae doc, and a green baby, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING.

Went to see When Harry Met Sally at the @princecharlescinema.com today. That surely is a film that falls into the category of ‘unimprovable’.

Boy kings, we gave power to morally bankrupt children, who steal our work, and rob for fun. Historian spoiler alert: it never ends well for these unelected despots.
