@ODaly195689 @HermannHessed via Gemini:

The phrase "Hell is other people" comes from Jean-Paul Sartre.

Originating in Sartre's 1944 play No Exit, it means that being constantly judged and objectified by the gaze of others traps us in an inescapable psychological prison of our own dependence.

@WalkerMarcus Point is - London-centric. Point is at least start spread econ benefits that government institution does.

In early (optimistic) days of Johnson, there was talk of Lords to York for same reason.

As for ‘people traipsing etc …’

Yeats followed that advice to get into the here and now

When such as I cast out remorse;
So great a sweetness flows into the breast;
We must laugh and we must sing,
We are blest by everything,
Everything we look upon is blest.

@HaytersTV What talk could there possibly be?

Has journo ever spent time amongst grown professionals?

@ClownWorld disingenuous bullshit.

He asked about Hamas on his training.

Like asking about the IRA if you’re learning about Catholicism.

it says - you have a problem with names on the international news, you don’t have nous to separate from day-to-day experience.

@TaylorRMarshall today you win a ‘piece of sh*t’ award.

Your bio claims religious (and philosophy😂😂😂) interests - and you post pic of man in a fountain pejorative narrative.

‘Spread no enmity’ that’s Bible OT isn’t it?

Your dynamic - reason so many eschew Xtian philosophy

[J. M Wood @JMark4321]

@TaylorRMarshall It’s a garrulous man in a fountain.

If you want to make more out of it, it’s YOUR problem.

@UTDSunny @PolymarketFC There’s a song, by band called ‘The Cranberries’ … builds to chorus:
🎼what’s in your head …. ZOMBIE ZOMBIE ….

<the World Cup has been a beautiful celebration. *What’s in your head*, plays with alternative… because … because the world is round it blows your mind, because

@Britannica sitting on the ant-sofa - saying ‘Dya need a hand’ … not tooo loud?

[J. M Wood @JMark4321]

and then I recall a few years ago he released a toy flame thrower - which people baulked at - and he said it was ‘for fun’.

Recalled to me, movie ‘Rollerball’. Set in future there’s a segment where partygoers torch trees, amid laughter.

The narrative wasn’t complimentary

@smokelessworld @SmokelessWord Ad is BS. So reasonable, so, pitiful.

You want the truth on nicotine?

It’s virtual poison.

R Crowe movie. ‘The Insider’, true story about whistleblower, told how cig comp knew addictive nature of nicotine but hid truth. Eventually cost them a fortune. Hope same happens here

@KMBreakey ever since reading Robert Harris’ thing on WW2 war - at best thought ‘what if’ books silly - at worst something onanistic

[J. M Wood @JMark4321]

@davidrichards No - and what would that be for.

What possible- parameters could the law have?

It’s based on the theory that the person’s gain is another person’s loss - and that’s a falsity.

As the very articulate Sex Pistols sang: ‘there’s an unlimited supply’

@wself ‘Streeting’s prose reveals … a mind as intensely comfortable with banality’

A/ he prob used ghost and wanted to speak to as many people as possible? Cliche serves

B/ I prefer my politicians banal (as they were once) quiet, simply, beavering away as civil servants with attitude
