Roast Beef. 2010-2023. My best friend in the entire world. You are my entire heart. We love you so much. After thirteen years I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without you. Thank you for making me a better person. Thank you for choosing me.

Watched the game at the bar. 95% of the people there were I don't want to say Raptors fans per se, but sort of Grand Coalition anti-Warriors partisans. When Durant went down they all lustily cheered. It was gross and weird and I'm rethinking sports.

No beef but I’m struggling to understand why Beyoncé, who has half a billion dollars, would accept 20 million dollars to make her debut performance of the Renaissance album, a record which lifts heavily from queer culture, in Dubai, a country where LGBT rights aren’t recognised.
