Structure isn’t “mechanics”, it’s story. What are you even talking about trying to suggest “emotional truth” is somehow a discrete part of storytelling? Even spelling isn’t a discrete part of storytelling, as eg. any Irvine Welsh fan knows. Write it all or none of it. Moronic.

It feels weird to me that we're supposed to call our representatives to be like: "Hey can we not initiate another forever war?" You'd think they'd be able to handle that one without a ton of input.

One of those times where it's necessary to point out that drafting the ECHR was led by David Maxwell Fyfe, a Scottish Conservative MP for Liverpool, MacMillan's Home Secretary and a prosecutor at Nuremberg. A functional party would trumpet it as a great Conservative achievement in the rule of law.

If you can spare two quid a month, this is the most fantastic way to spend it. Arts Emergency doing everything they can to keep creative careers accessible to any kid from any background at a time when those paths are becoming increasingly cut off.

Ireland, that most literary of countries with the most poetic version of the English language, choosing to ignore all its homegrown brilliance & slop up workaday words-by-numbers as its own face. Choosing to promote itself in a way that undermines one of the very things the world loves about it.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

A lot of you replying with your thoughts on this. To be clear, unless you actually are Zaltz, I’m just not interested. I have my trusted source and he has his trusted sauce.
