  1. Nothing beats writing by hand ✍🏼

    "Writing by hand is a human endeavour."

    "Because my pen cannot keep up with the speed of my thoughts, especially after a few espressos, every sentence is weighed and measured before it goes down."

    "Handwriting is an extension of the self."

  11. Why has Britain’s oldest political magazine become such a rabid cheerleader for Islamophobia? | Nesrine Malik
    By Nesrine Malik

    A report on the Spectator’s coverage of Muslims makes for grim reading. Conservatism is now focused on this minority to the exclusion of everything else

  13. Andy #Burnham will be the 19th UK Prime Minister since 1940, & the 1st #Cambridge grad of the 19.

    Since 1940, 14 of 18 PMs went to Oxford, 1 (Brown) to Edinburgh. 3 (Churchill, Callaghan, & Major), didn’t do university.

    In all, Cambridge has produced 14 PMs against Oxford’s 31. But for 85 years, Oxford has dominated.

    #Andy brands himself as a northerner. But in Westminster & Whitehall, the #Cantab label will be much more defining.

    #Oxbridge still rules. 🤮

  18. RE: mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/116737

    The Spectator and Palantir want us to believe that our legitimate concerns are 'derangement', just rehashing that 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' crap

    Look at Trump now and tell me who is deranged...and who is on a quest to find the Antichrist right now? That doesn't sound very 'sane'

    I've just read this from #TheSpectator and the author is spot on. Where has the care gone from our coffee shops? #Pret is disappointment served on an unlevel table that rocks when you put your burnt bean drink down.

  24. I hadn't read #TheSpectator for years. Now i remember why.

    I thought #MelanieMcDonagh might offer some insight into the character, conduct, or beliefs of #SarahMullaly, the new #ArchbishopOfCanterbury. But no.

    McDonagh's first objection is that Mullaly is an Anglican, which displeases the Roman Catholic McDonagh. Not exactly news.

    Secondly, Mullaly is a woman. Some women wear lipstick, which McDongh says is incompatible with holiness.

    The rest is pretentious snark.
