@goatsarah In fairness, have you seen space elves recently?

While I'm ranting: the entire saga surrounding the women's boxing has been horrible and weird. Imane Khelif has taken an appalling amount of shit, just because her flavour of femininity sticks in some people's throats. I'm so glad she won.

@siege @WorkWithKirk and the scores from the highly experienced judges:

GBR: 8.5
JPN: 8.8
USA: 9.0
CAN: 3.5

@Jerm anything the referee doesn't see, goes. There's a reason former hooker Brian Moore used to refer to the "dark arts of the scrum".

Can I take a moment to rage?

Nothing would make me happier than to see Rees-Mogg unemployed by the morning. I care about politics, I care about the proper administration of the country I live in, and I care about the traditions and showbusiness of Parliament, because they all show the proper respect for the people they're working for.

To see Rees-Mogg lounging, FUCKING LOUNGING, on the benches that people of good intent of every party - yes, even them - have sat on, to take the /1

very matter of this country as lightly as you or I would take our front room furniture, made my blood absolutely boil. But I wasn't in a place to talk about it when it happened.

Throw the bastards out, all of them, but throw Rees-Mogg out first. 2/2

Harriet Harman trying to stir shit before the first seat's declared. I'm not surprised. #ukpolitics

@goatsarah @kincaid

And it happens less among people whose sexuality, gender, neurotype, or thing I don't know enough about to name, differ from standard issue.

Because, I think, realising that we are one or more of those things, early in our lives, mean that we learn to self-examine sooner. It does still happen, of course, and heaven knows there are plenty of arseholes in those categories. But it means we can see the issue, more of the time.

@goatsarah @kincaid

I've thought about this one.

A lot of people play the Game of Life(1) because they think that's what they're meant to do. Then, halfway around the metaphorical board, something makes them self-examine for the first time, and they realise they don't have to play. But because of the sunk cost fallacy, they can't quit. But if they can make their partner give up instead, then they "win".

1) As in Hasbro, not Conway.

Notes from #AEW #Dynamite

I've learned that AEW only works if you don't think about it. Who's going to challenge for the tag titles? What are the belts being used for? Don't think about it. Enjoy the ride.

Lovely to see Will Ospreay struggling to keep the smile off his face before tagging with Orange Cassidy. Impossible to keep the smile off my own face, as the two men give every indication of having fun as a duo. A necessary feel-bad moment for whatever's coming at the PPV.

I am enjoying the Elite stuff. A lot.

There were no obvious trios to challenge the Bang Bang Gang. Don't think about it: TK's resurrected Death Triangle.

Fuck Chris Jericho.

I thought it was obvious that Brian Keith was there to tap out to either Hook or Shibata. I was wrong, technically.

I can't see Mone losing to Willow. I don't want Willow to get attacked by Statlander after the match. But I can't see another solution.

Matt Sydal is a jobber now. It's a shame. #AEW #Dynamite

@selzero @LydiaConwell That's mad. Superman's everywhere, saving everyone, all the time. How has he got time to have a second life? Why would he bother?

And even if he did, Clark Kent would be the last person I'd think of. Kent's an award-winning writer, a well-respected journalist, and he's happily married. Who's going to risk all that fighting supervillains?

Spare me the conspiracy theories. I bet you believe in Batman, too.

@annika what were these used for?
