Poor Matt Goodwin. All he ever wanted was to be a hard working MP/academic/tv presenter/commentator/writer/pollster/wealth adviser/women’s health guru and you all ripped that away from him. A shame

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adultsβ€”Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebeβ€”living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

There's a Monster Behind the Door (GaΓ«lle BΓ©lem, 2020)

Small book from RΓ©union where the concept of dysfunctional family is pushed to the very extreme, often in almost charming ways. Fascinating, often sad peek into everyday life in this French department in the middle of the ocean

Thanks for this - glad the threads are useful!

This one was definitely one of the (major) highlights of last year, just wonderful all around. Have not read yet that MVL, but it’s on my list!

So great to work with superstar @cvargiu.bsky.social on this piece, out soon at @poqjournal.bsky.social
