There was another round of people playing George and I ended up having a second game. He offered to give me some tips but I told him to play his hardest, not to be scared of humiliating me.
This time I relaxed and got my eye in, making it hard for him and losing He left, giving me a look that was a little impressed. I went home, tried the posh wine shop, a big part of my week has been not being scared to spend money, as if that might push me to get back into work quicker.
By this point my legs were starting to really ache and I changed my plans to go out to watch the fight at the local. I fell asleep but woke up for the 2nd half, watching bootleg streams that cut out. I was so happy for Usyk, I always found Joshua more marketing than anything. A man very good at doing simple things being treated by his employers and the media like he was a lot deeper and more complicated.
I also hated that he got Stormzy for his fight against Whyte, when Whyte and Stormzy are both from nearby in South London so it led to stupid fights between gangs about loyalties. If Stormzy had performed at that fight before the 2 fighters it would have been amazing. But who am I to try to bring peace to boxing.
Today I had a lot of cleaning and listing eBay items I wanted to do, but my legs were so, so, so, so, sore. I managed to hobble to the gym and do a little strength stuff, but then came home and napped for an hour and a half. Maybe that takes the pressure off having less energy today. My favourite part of gym life is that it encourages me to listen to music. Like I needed silence. Exercising does level out my moods. I see it more like mental wellbeing.
Mental Health, particularly when a psyche is broken, cannot be fixed by a run, it requires some introspection, time, a path to become a more evolved person. All things that society encourages now less than ever. They were blocking up the slow lane. When I returned to it a woman in her 50s pointed out that I was grunting loudly. I stopped grunting, then found breathing easier and thanked her. Meditated and Marinated on that interview from a couple of weeks ago and where I think I went wrong.
I almost left a jumper on a park bench and an expensive umbrella in a pub. I cracked wise about that scene in Mary Poppins where they break his hat and umbrella. The David Lynch like scene in the black and red room. I was greeted by blank but tolerant faces. Met the guy who manages Top Secret and got chattttty.
Called my housemate out on his shoutiness on the phone and general silliness about not taking care of simple tasks. Before I spoke to him I was having a lot of dreams where I lived in very nice flats or houses but had housemates who were causing drama.
You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America? Then comes the Antisemitism story. There are crying-with-laughter emojis next to the Israeli flag emoji. References to black people being the original Israelis. But the newspapers never quoted this stupid, angry quote. Instead it became Chinese Whispers.
Calls for Wiley to be banned from social media. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter all banning him. The scale that this story attained is most apparent in a follow-up story from the CNN Business website.
It is bizarre how the most important American cable news network has written two long stories on a British rapper who is far from a household name. The Non-Governmental Organization. The Royal Opera House has announced their support. They should not have been able to remain on Twitter and Instagram for so long and I have asked them for a full explanation. Social media companies must act much faster to remove such appalling hatred from their platforms.
That reporting-about-a-story rather than reporting the actual story can only appear conspiratorial, Jews being conspiratorial is at the heart of all antisemitic propaganda. In an era where politicians are treated like celebrities and celebrities are treated like politicians, to understand the Wiley Antisemitism story it must be viewed from a variety of angles; cultural, sociological, in terms of mental wellbeing and political.
Most of all, what does this mean to Cancel Culture? The kind of behaviour Wiley expressed, an impotent and misguided rant, has become bizarrely trendy for a certain kind of rock n roll star. A lot of comedians talk about it being therapeutic, but I have been in comedy and therapy for over a decade each. Comedy makes you immune to shock value, and a barrage of drunk audience members coming up to congratulate you over the years makes you realise the general public are more unhinged than the average comedian.
I also have a degree in Politics, and know how Politics not being on the school Curriculum means the general public, whether rich or poor, public, private or comprehensive educated, are deeply unaware. Also, I would rather have people say bad things than do them. This statement is an oversimplified generalisation, but my point is that Morrissey could never have committed the kind of crimes Bill Cosby or Jimmy Savile did, because he has never curried favour with the media.
Details of personal abuse from him would elicit a 6-figure-minimum-sum to any major outlet. The other aspect of the Wiley story that was entirely ignored or decontextualized by the media was not just that the tweets broke out after Wiley split from his manager John Woolf, but these two had had a very close relationship since the s. Woolf himself compared it to a marriage, ironically in the Jewish Chronicle newspaper, years ago.
Jews have always played a small yet significant role in Hip Hop. He also produced the 20million record selling New York Jews, the Beastie Boys, who first achieved commercial success then hugely innovative in the sonic progression of Hip Hop.
Two Jewish comedy-rap groups have achieved well-over-a-billion-streams-without-hyperbole by not taking themselves particularly seriously, The Lonely Island are led by Andy Samberg and knowingly-ridiculously-named Lil Dicky has recorded tracks with Snoop Dogg, Fetty Wap, Chris Brown and T-Pain.
Mark Ronson, also Jewish, production and musicianship on both Back To Black downbeat and his solo work upbeat have been adapted by Grime to make the genre the s equivalent of Britpop. Again, a fairly customary bite. Some labels take percent. The other publishing companies involved Cube included also took twenty-five cents.
Of the fifty cents left, the lyric writer took twenty-five cents, and the beat writer took twenty-five cents. Dre composed the beats for every song N. You wrote a lot of the words, Cube, so some of the time you took a quarter bite out of those dollars. There were quite a few times though, when you had to share with cowriters, such as Dre, Yella, the D. They were three Lithuanian kids, metal music fans, leather jackets, cartoonish English accents, offered me a beer.
They were over to visit a friend, planning his stag do in Warsaw in the new year. He asked who said that, and I told him Bob Dylan. His friend turned around and lowered the neck of his shirt, and there was a Swastika tattoo. Then he lifted his sleeve, and there was another symbol that he explained was the Lithuanian equivalent.
I was too exhausted to feel that scared, drained, tired, listless from the news earlier. I told them that if I got angry or offended I would be giving them the reaction they wanted. As I got up to leave, one of them asked if I wanted to stay for another beer. The other two stared down, I declined and headed on. View all posts by Jongleurs Josh.

You wrote a lot of the words, Cube, so some of the time you took a quarter bite out of those dollars. There were quite a few times though, when you had to share with cowriters, such as Dre, Yella, the D. You received every single penny that was coming to you. Camden High Street had police tape up, I asked someone who knew what had happened, there had been a stabbing, a fatality. At the gates of the lock, where canal boats stop to level out the water, there is an isolated raised square, with a narrow path connecting it to the canalside.
I saw three figures sitting there. I went and sat with them. They were three Lithuanian kids, metal music fans, leather jackets, cartoonish English accents, offered me a beer. They were over to visit a friend, planning his stag do in Warsaw in the new year. He asked who said that, and I told him Bob Dylan.

As I got up to leave, one of them asked if I wanted to stay for another beer. The other two stared down, I declined and headed on. I was on the London circuit with James. James is still posting on verified social media accounts. Find out how the industry sought him out and then dropped him, and how nothing was done to address the issues.
I sincerely hope this does not become analogous to the Tower of Babel. Tez Ilyas, on the original Steering Group, was outed for sexual harassment this summer then targeted by Johnsonite political blog Guido Fawkes who attributed any sexual assaults posted on Twitter that week to him, refusing to remove them when the women that had most the posts asked them to. Earlier today, following the announcement of comedy clubs reopening at a time when people a day are dying of Covid and the rate of R is above 1, Julian Bird, chief executive of the Society of London Theatre and UK Theatre was the sole source quoted by Chortle.
The industry that lionized Kevin Spacey when he was director of the Old Vic. The quote is a plea to infect as many as possible as quickly as possible, where are Live Comedy UK to oppose such a view? Bird said:. The capacity constraints in tiers 1 and 2 will lead to financial problems for venues and disappointment for audiences. It is unclear why these have been instituted in a sector with no known spread of the virus.
The theatre and by proxy comedy sector would rather grift an audience than stand up to our fascist leaders. Post lockdown, the fringe will never go back to millions of visitors a year as people become comfortable with avoiding huge crowds tdue to compulsive FOMO. The parts of the circuit that were being run by sane heads when I was gigging e.
Those comedians that added zeros to their paycheck by playing the anti-tory-but-not-pro-labour card would be expected to contribute to the work in progress shows that took all the peak spots from comedians that had been loyal to years Hello Bill Murray and the revolving door of Kitsons, Lees, Delaneys, Amstells, Howards, Pascoes, Robinses and Widdicombes.
Instead, the same arguments will continue. People will complain about class in comedy before bragging for months when they support a comedian who makes 6 figures from having been in the Cambridge Footlights or get a writing gig from their mate from the Cambridge Footlights Herring, Wang, Graham, Shah, Novellie, TVs Ayoade, the writer from Him and Her, Iannucci, Armstrong, Miller, Buxton, Cornish, Armstrong, Bain, Murray, Mitchell and the ever talentless Webb etc etc etc. We will all build our brands and YouTube channels.
