It does feel like nothing good or right or just or fair is ever going to happen again. Probably no big deal.

Me seeing a mouse on a tube platform: what is this? a whimsical little friend? a furry companion of the night? Me seeing a mouse in my flat: I must become the killer from Saw

The news: the AI industry is in crisis because of DeepSeek! My brain:

The world is being stripped for parts by the meanest, greediest, most depraved people alive. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing. It is so fucking bleak.

"If you miss #TheTraitors, don't worry, The Apprentice is back next week" yeah alright, if you miss Christmas don't worry, it's Ash Wednesday next week. Fuck are you on about.

Leanne reminds me of every soldier I’ve met (derogatory) #TheTraitors

Can’t wait for The Traitors to end and it turns out the lovely Alexander got us into the Iraq war or something #TheTraitors

No way Frankie and Alexander make it through this. Cursed ending #TheTraitors

I am at a Traitors final watchalong and there are fake Welsh cakes

Maybe the best episode of The Traitors yet? Barring last year's finale, of course #TheTraitors

CHARLOTTE! THIS IS LIQUID TELEVISION #TheTraitors

Charlotte #TheTraitors

Freddie has been absolutely done in here, my god #TheTraitors

The nation is Wallace pilled. They are Gromit maxing. They are in the pocket of big Feathers.

Charlotte #TheTraitors

Transcendent #TheTraitors

Joe wants to use the money to buy a voice transplant #TheTraitors

I bet he snores in that annoying voice #TheTraitors

Imagine Joe as your English teacher. You'd never read a book again. #TheTraitors

God, but what a privilege to have been alive at the same time as David Lynch

The unrelenting indignity of being a Spurs fan

lmao Linda #TheTraitors

When it’s cold outside

It's curtains for Tyler #TheTraitors

Genuinely fascinating how they equate being a traitor (AKA Claudia Winkleman touching a shoulder) with some kind of moral failing #TheTraitors

this task #TheTraitors

Why has Anna come dressed as Kraven the Hunter #TheTraitors

Every time Linda opens her mouth #TheTraitors

FINALLY

Weirdest thing about this series of #TheTraitors so far is how no one is thinking from the perspective of the producers. Like, obviously one of the sisters is a traitor? It's good TV! Just go for one of them! 50/50 odds! These are meant to be fans of the show!

December 31st: I’m going to stop narrativising my life in the new year January 3rd:

A power cut on January 2nd? My first day back at work? No internet, no coffee, no heating? 2025, you are spoiling us.

They should put Feathers McGraw into The Traitors #TheTraitors

Conclave (2024)

Aren't we all, in our own way, pretending to be Welsh? Much to think about. #TheTraitors

Hilarious how unbelievable James Corden is in this role now. His face is fucking *glowing*.

This is the first Christmas in years where I haven’t turned up at my mum’s burnt out from work, desperate for time alone to decompress, and it turns out that that does help you not resent the whole thing

AI slop has turbo charged Facebook brain rot. My mum just earnestly asked me if they’re really making Titanic 2.

Genuinely impossible not to read this in the voice of Gonzo

Yeah, you could say I’m a cinephile

Yes! It's such a dizzying barrage of smart, funny, interesting ideas; the kind that scratch an itch deep in your brain. Loved it.
