Barclays had an IT glitch last week: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/barclays-bank-down-outage-app-b2690614.htmlThe quote by Toni Morrison:“The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and you spend twenty years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says you have no art, so you dredge that up. Somebody says you have no kingdoms, so you dredge that up. None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing.”-Lecture in Portland, Oregon, 1975Powered by Firstory Hosting

I talk about what we talk about when we talk. A bit of Scotland, a bit of Sally Rooney. And disappointments in life.I think this might be my best episode and year yet.Books mentioned: Normal People, Conversations with Friends by Sally RooneyAnd Hemingway.Places mentioned: Glasgow and EdinburghThe supposedly famous quote in Normal People the show: "It's not like this with other people."The real juicy bit is: "I'm literally still inside you."I do maintain that Sally Rooney's work is 50% porn for women.Powered by Firstory Hosting
