@spectator If you’re going to sneer at people for (you assert) failing to pay attention to their surroundings, maybe don’t make a rudimentary error in your first few sentences?

Five Italians passionate about Indian dance, Svamini Atmananda Giri, Ms. Martina Meenakshi Argada, Ms. Lucrezia Maniscotti, Ms. Valeria Vespaziani, Ms. Rosella Fanelli performed ‘Trigalbandi’, which included Kuchipudi, Bharatanatyam and Kathak. It is wonderful to see Indian dance forms drawing global interest.

@_F_B_G_ Is the reference to Dee’s scryer chappy?

An opportunity to quote the finest lines Alan Bennett ever penned

[The Book Land @the_book_land]

'According to the Tractatus, everything that can be thought can also be said. The limits of language are, therefore, the limits of thought, so that a complete philosophy of the "sayable" will be a complete theory of what Kant had called "understanding". All metaphysical problems arise because of the attempt to say what cannot be said.'

@BarbaraRich_law @LBC Do we trust a man who combines plate rack with bookshelf?

@Birdyword I’m sure the chemistry makes this unlikely, but I’m surprised that some sort of actually boozy “protein beer” hasn’t taken off yet

@holysmoke @timfarron Really? I found it shoddy and strewn with cultural tropes that the author thinks are hilarious but are at least 5 years out of date.

@danwaterfield We’re in a position of wondering how the remainder to a N Yorks baronetcy is going to vote in conclave. A glimpse of a parallel universe?

@yuanyi_z You have been summoned to the British Values Tribunal

@TypeForVictory I read it differently - the counselling example seems parenthetical and the focus of preceding paras isn’t purely on counselling? Likewise not a lawyer so defer to others on interpretation but I don’t think Lis is necessarily offering a hugely ill informed or bad faith take

@BarbaraRich_law The line in his/GLP’s statement about why trans orgs didn’t seek to intervene is so interesting. I think there is the kernel of an important argument in there about justice being seen to be done, but he doesn’t make it (presumably bc it highlights GLP’s tactical miscalculation)

@BarbaraRich_law It grieves me that Wodehouse didn’t live long enough to see him in action

@yuanyi_z You have angered the Great Ruler

@WalkerMarcus I have been twice and it is absolutely batshit but wonderful.

@StigAbell Why have you included a photo of Victoria Wood in a dinner jacket?
