There's a lot of judgement around sleeplessness, I find. There's an odd sort of moral failure discourse around poor or non-restoritive sleep, like 'you're doing sleep wrong! Try harder!' Sometimes our bodies don't do what we'd ideally like them to or our environment constraints what's possible

Big challenge now is to pull off something we've not managed for 10 and a half months - win two on the trot #lofc
Were Spurs wearing trainers or plimsolls tonight or something?
And at least we've got Dom Ballard. WooHoo! #lofc
Ordinarily have little sympathy for ‘top’ pros messing up. But how many of us had our careers ruined for millions to see and mock at the age of 22? Football is not a blood sport.
If it's any mitigation for Spurs, that was a disgusting dive for that Atletico free-kick
More Orient misery but could be worse, we could be Spurs
A headline reading “Camel pageant thrown into chaos after 20 competitors disqualified for using hump-plumping injectables”
Yes everything is terrible but let’s not lose sight of the fact that someone has written the Headline to End All Headlines.
"I'm all for sex being a protected characteristic. Know what I mean eh fellas" etc etc

Britain’s entire rightwing political classes being dragged around by whatever nonsense happens to have appeared on Trump’s Truth Social account in the past fifteen minutes is something to behold
A well-known thespian set out for what could have been a pleasant night at the theatre.
Hours later, his life had drastically changed as he was being hunted for shooting President Lincoln in the head.
1/8 The idea ADHD's being overdiagnosed in society, I believe, is being driven by the rise of influencers who may or may not have been diagnosed with ADHD but share content pathologising every day struggles claiming it's because of ADHD - creating a perception its everywhere
That's likely led to...
It is incredibly sad that she has been forced to waive her anonymity in order to have a voice because her own party have weaponised their own cost cutting as protecting women and girls.
Fucking grim.

One of the charges against Cuba is always that Castro was too paranoid and the country too militarized. Sure, but there are some conditions that will just make you that way. Like this, for example, every day for decades.
