@VinSidious @rodimusprime @ManuclearBomb Haha maybe she practises her accent work and dons like a proper cockney twang when ordering stuff.

@VinSidious @rodimusprime @ManuclearBomb It's giving mid-century British royalty, but without the high chirruping quality/pitch.

Codetta's summer concert fast approaches. The hour is nigh.

"I too will something make
And joy in the making;
Altho’ to-morrow it seem
Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on waking."

@HughGriffin2 Do people elsewhere in the world turn to mild cocodamol when hungover? Solpadeine are v popular here in Ireland (8mg codeine/ 500mg paracetamol). Obvs I wouldn't advise overdoing it, but two soluble cocodamol when one is hanging balls can be...salvific.

@gmoneyjack @JoyceCarolOates @carlquintanilla What socialist policies?! The American Overton Window is so rightward that even the vaguest hint of capitalism with a conscience is touted as communism.

@Uc_heyy02 Wasn't it because she was born during a literal storm, the worst that had ravaged Dragonstone for some time?

@Jon_Can_Hoop66 Quasi-medieval/early modern*

[John Fox @foxj028]

@Jon_Can_Hoop66 It's literally a quotation of Elizabeth I's at Tilbury while preparing her forces to face the Spanish Armada in 1588. It's not a stretch to have a quasi-medieval/medieval queen internalise the misogyny of her time as much as she rages against it.

[John Fox @foxj028]

This is...putatively Elizabeth I?!

🚨| Leaked Rhaenyra line from Season 3:

“I may appear to have the weak and feeble body of a woman, but I possess the heart and spirit of a king.”

@TheGovernance0 @jaojaobinx @EVplusBRO @onyxicca You think expecting visually appealing female protagonists in videogames is ideology-free? Interesting.

@wesyang Hitchens never attended a public school in the British sense of that term. Private, yes, but not public.

Knew I recognised Renee Fleming's voice in Half Man!

[John Fox @foxj028]

Like no matter how much you give off, Emily Wilson's translation of Homer's Odyssey isn't going anywhere, and it certainly doesn't sound the death knell of Western culture as so many affronted pseudo-intellectuals would have you believe.

[John Fox @foxj028]

Literally so sick of rightwing accounts on here obsessing over how ancient Romans and Greeks looked. Paragraphs of nonsense written by blue check accounts to argue that Achilles was blond or that Greeks were actually super duper white. This app is a hellhole.

[John Fox @foxj028]

@ProudlyPastoral There's so much about and in the air that I'm sure we'll be discussing the dangers of passive coking at some point

[John Fox @foxj028]

Why am I not surprised that 4/6 of the works with which this guy has taken issue happen to be by women?

[Edmund @Kulambq]

Works which have no business being on this list:

'Beloved'
'Wolf Hall'
'The End of the Affair' (it's one of Greene's weakest novels)
'The Remains of the Day'
'My Brilliant Friend'
'White Teeth'

I can't comment on those I haven't read, for instance, 'Nervous Condition,' 'Kindred,' 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie,' 'The Golden Notebook.'

@RhyminCarly @WB_Baskerville Much Irish lit follows suit. I'm not in love with it, but neither does it rankle. Makes for tricky attribution when reading speech.

[John Fox @foxj028]

@ItsAndyRyan @WB_Baskerville Apparently so. The qualifying criteria for highbrow literature now include the need for narrow margins. You couldn't make it up.

@Nairobifatlover @TirChonaillAbu @pangadelica You just chose to forget James Joyce?

[John Fox @foxj028]

@ElmaRyder @DaveTweet176908 Elma, you should maybe take a look at the log on yours?
