I'm so pissed right now. I know that fabric has been declining in quality for a while but I just bought new pajamas from kmart and they are literally see through. Not just through one layer of fabric either; I can see through the leg, that is, through 2 layers of fabric. These aren't clothes. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have strained soup through cheesecloth thicker than these pants. These are men's flannel pajamas, the kind people wear in winter, and they are made if shittier thinner fabric than even the most bargain bin bullshit halloween costumes. This "flannel" feels like plastic and is thinner than a chux wipe. Why is this even for sale.

Nature really went off with sperm whales. A 70-ton predator with teeth the size of a banana but it only eats squishy prey that it doesn’t even chew, it just schlorps them down whole like a vacuum cleaner. Big giant fat head full of goop. Tiniest fins in the world. Strong enough to smash a ship to pieces and smart enough to figure out how to do so but its first line of defense is just to shit everywhere. Possibly the most complex language in the animal kingdom and it creates sounds by blowing air through its internal right nostril (it uses the left one to breathe) into its giant fat head. It’s the loudest animal on the planet and might have the capability to create a beam of sound so loud it can shake your organs apart but they don’t seem to use that to hunt or fight. They’re highly flammable. We used them to make candles.

This feels like a good time to say that we do not know for sure if Luigi Mangione actually did it. He’s a suspect and person of interest, but that’s all he is at this point. (I, personally, am kind of skeptical).

Keeping that in mind, remember that this guy is potentially completely uninvolved, but is now having every single aspect of his life scrutinized and torn apart by the entire country. People are looking at his medical history, his social media, his education, even his goodreads. I understand that we want to know more about this, but we could be doing more harm than good to this individual, regardless of whether or not he did it.

Just please make sure not to use language that refers to him factually as the killer, when we don’t know for sure yet. And please keep in mind that this is a human being, and scrutinizing every aspect of his life like the way people have been doing could be doing harm.

Also, stop with the liberal purity talk. If you’re a person that’s going to write him off (if he did do it) because of his expressed beliefs, consider the idea that maybe that actually helps nothing and no one. No one human being is perfect, and this is a guy that shot a man in the open. Obviously, he’s not going to be your ideal liberal leftist with all the “correct opinions”. This man may have saved actual lives by doing what he did, and could have ruined his life in doing it.

The media is going to try to use this to drive us apart, after we were so united for the first time ever. Do not fall for it. Do not be a tool. We’re done with the pearl-clutching.

Behind the Scenes of Rivals - with David Tennant & friends

Excerpt from Caitlin Moran's The Time Magazine article (Sept 2024)

David Tennant — wearing a lavish, gold, silken man-blouse and sucking on a cigar — is furious. He is savaging a roomful of party people, all looking stricken — and all, incongruously, wearing swimwear. “How the f*** has this happened?” Tennant screams, as all the tits and legs fidget, gaudy piña coladas abandoned. “Get the f*** out there and sort this out! And why are you all wearing bikinis?” Tennant storms from the room, apoplectic with rage — and then sees me. “Oh, hello, darling,” he says, all sweetness and light. “CUT!” the director calls. Today, David Tennant isn’t, of course, David Tennant. He’s Tony Baddingham, the infamous, nominative-determinist baddie of Jilly Cooper’s Rivals. “So, is this fun?” I ask him. The last time I saw him on set, he was being the Doctor in Doctor Who, in a floor-length coat, trying to save the world from being exploded. Again. In the rain. In Wales. At 1am. “Oh yes,” Tennant says. “I mean, look at my blouse. It’s like my aunt’s! Actually, I think it might be hers — it closes right to left. Don’t men’s buttons close left to right? Am I wearing,” he asks the room at large, “a woman’s blouse?” “We need to go again, David,” the director says. “Back in a tick,” Tennant says, running back on set, sucking on his cigar. Getting ready to be really evil, and Eighties, again.
