Now, granted, this is not the kind of thing that could or should stand up in a court of law. But for me, his denial (or, rather, what he does not deny) makes it seem all the more likely that he committed the crimes of which he's accused

He's now posted a denial of sorts on his website, but even if somehow, everything HE says is true (doubt), he still slept with: his employees; his tenants. Both of these are clear abuses of power. Now, if he abused his power in this way which he doesn't deny doing at least twice, it's plausible that he habitually abused his power in other ways, which makes the other accusations more likely to be true

'You're overdrawn', 'We're reducing interest payments'. I just think you're being very negative

Absolutely love Liz Truss' argument that she only caused a financial crisis, not an 'economic' one. As though someone said, 'Remember when you threw a dinner party and poisoned everyone with e.coli?' and you went, 'Uh, actually, I infected them with e.coli'

I know people do astrology as a bit of fun, obviously, but are there really people walking around in the world saying 'I am a Pisces so I do Pisces things'? And other people responding on that level?

Read this because I've been thinking about the nature of revenge lately. Aside from the main thrust of this, is this a real adult in the wild saying they behave the way they do because of their star sign? And why do none of the comments say 'You're not a Scorpio, there's no such thing, grow up'?

When I've spoken to people who lived under authoritarian regimes, one thing that struck me was that authoritarianism forces people to live a lie. Living authentically is resistance.

TL;DR: You don't need to 'solve' 'problems' or 'fix' 'holes' in Shakespeare's work. The problems are what people keep coming back for! There's a whole subset of his plays we call the 'problem plays', we love that shit
