It’s such a weird time.
Everyone’s newsfeed is a constant stream of outrage porn.
The smart money is on not letting any of it bother you.
But they are destroying every aspect of the culture they can get a hold of and that should bother us.

Holy shit is this real? The level of narcissism it would take to make edits like this and also believe that the spirit of what the author is trying to convey hasn’t been altered is staggering.
Huge fan of the podcast you do with

I remember my mum telling me back in they day they tried to suppress Noddy books because he shared a bed with big ears. Hopefully this Dahl stuff confuses my kids as much as the noddy issues did me. And ages as poorly.

Hitchens gave us the warning shot in what was to come of the west in this essay. This piece of writing changed my perspective on everything from that day on.
He knew.

This is wrong on so many levels. Creativity is being squashed as a means of control in order to stop critical thinking in order to promote groupthink. So, another word I would use is tragic.
