Joe Biden now relies on instruction manuals, so here’s a good one: ‘Walk to podium, smile, wave goodbye’
“Huge fan of American democracy here, which is to say – huge fan of the country of America having democracy … you’ve probably heard the expression “When America sneezes, the world catches a cold”. Most of us in the droplet radius have zero clinical interest in discovering what the world catches when America does … whatever this is.”
Marina Hyde, on form as usual.

@aral As the meme goes "Just because Alfred is old, you don't put The Joker in charge of the Batcave"

@fkamiah17 Hadn’t seen that. Well, I mean, it’s still The Guardian…

@aral I've lost a *lot* of respect for her since she started whining about how "the arts shouldn't be political" after Baillie Gifford's sponsorship of a number of her favourite literary festivals was withdrawn because of its profiting from genocide.

@fkamiah17 Yeah… I see what you mean. Good thing I learned a long time ago not to have heroes :)

@aral Indeed.
I'm not 100% disagreeing with what she's saying here - it's the context in which it's being said. And some of it is really quite disgusting.
