As Piers Morgan is once again in the news for calling a tennis player a snowflake for not wanting to face criticism at a press conference, let’s enjoy this picture of his face seconds before he stormed off his own show, live on air, because a fellow presenter offered some mild criticism of his racist, sexist bullshit.

Any chance we could stop the racist stereotyping of Northern Irish people as angry, violent simpletons?

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Ulysses and some chapters are genuinely cool, especially once you get into a rhythm with the stream of consciousness style. Others bits (particularly the Stephen Dedalus POV sections, and yes yes I know that's the point and he's making fun of himself) are quite clearly just Joyce showing off though, because every single bloody line is some cryptic reference to a classical author or philosophical concept or some other niche topic, and you really need to kind of understand each bit to make the rest make sense. Unless you're some absurd polymath you're going to be looking up references every few lines, and that's even before you get to the fact large parts of it require you to have a working knowledge of latin and greek and half a dozen other languages and most of the chapters are extremely long. It's 100% worth reading but I would definitely recommend doing it alongside a companion book that summarises and explains each passage for you to avoid a heap of pain. I guess some people probably enjoy the challenge, but ugh I have other things I could be doing. I think the people who say Joyce just was just an arrogant self-declared big-brain rear end in a top hat who did a deliberately obtuse fart on a page and called it literature are being kinda uncharitable, but I sympathise with the frustration.

It’s impossible to take Joyce seriously once you’ve read his pervy sex letters about sniffing Nora Barnacle’s farts

Old Kieth sure does love an incredibly niche policy to set the headlines alight doesn’t he?

Where is Kieth? Have we seen a single on camera comment about Hancock from
him yet? I think we can make our own assumptions about why not

This is not going to go well for them. Even Bootlicker Podges is outraged. This could well mean they only extend their lead over Keith by another 5 points
