GAH. Got kids and us tickets to Hamilton tonight, show has just been cancelled and the run seems mostly sold out. Have been trying to get eldest tix since his 10th birthday present was disrupted by COVID, he is now 14. ☹️

I initially read this as "pressing Giles Coren to death"....
Today in 1692, one of the most legendary badasses of all times died. Giles Corey, 81, of Salem, MA refused to testify as to whether or not he was a witch. To force a confession, heavy stones were piled on him for 2 days. His last words? "More weight."

That time when Burne-Jones took time away from all the pre-Raphaeliting to draw dragon school for tiny dragon tots

If you saw that clip of the Israeli podcasters enthusiastically embracing genocide, and wondered what kind of poison a person's brain would need to marinate in, and for how long, to lead them to think and speak in that way, this thread is grimly clarifying

I think what I object to most about the 'Dublin as warzone' rhetoric, aside from the insufferable melodrama, is that it's acting as fog for the various very real civic management crises that we, the people of Dublin, have been pointing out for two decades. TLDR - shut the fuck up

Awwww! Another of my large Olympic children, when less large.
Best wishes to Rhasidat in her race tonight. We are all so proud here in St Marks Senior School. Here is a photo of her competing in the CLG Primary Sports in Morton Stadium Santry. She proves that you should always have the confidence to dream big. @rhasidatadeleke @RTEsport

Possibly my favourite of all my new large Olympic children.
Daniel Wiffen uploaded this video to his YouTube channel yesterday morning showing all the free gear the Olympians get.
This is how he starts the video off 😂😂

Had to pop to the shop for something at the end of my run, which means I'm now walking along with this as if I'm about to swig it as a sports drink.

If we could all just take a moment to appreciate the stunning cinematic beauty of this scene.
The bravado, the little shake of the hips, the half brick to the back of the head and, of course, the coup de grâce…..the agonizing strike to the knackers.

In attempt to get ourselves retrospectively cancelled and maybe a boxset, here's The Jimmy Cake disrespecting Christianity about 20 years ago. Beat that Olympics
If everyone could think nice positive thoughts that the sore tooth that I've developed with no obvious signs of damage/infection (per dentist) is "just one of those things that will go away" and not "near-invisible crack that will require a root canal".

Stupid tooth update: stupid tooth is cracked. Stupid tooth is getting a root canal on Friday (that may not work). If everyone could think positive thoughts for said malfunctioning dental feature, that'd be great.
