But (accepting your psychoanalysis, which I think is a bit overblown) presumably he doesn't envy Trump's xenophobia or fascist leanings, but merely his political success. He is also clearly suffering a serious period of mental illness. Is that really unforgivable?

Yeah, and TLoP isn't universally panned or anything either - I actually really liked it, and it's on plenty of critics best-of lists for the year. I'm not sure anybody had a good thing to say about Lauryn Hill's MTV Unplugged.

Is 'adulation' really the right word for Kanye's comments on Trump? He said "Trump inspired racists to reveal themselves", and donated to Clinton and the DNC during her campaign. He specifically said he did not vote for Trump, he did not vote for anyone. (His wife voted for Hillary).

That seems like an unnecessarily pessimistic take on Kanye - Yeezus was just three years ago, and TLoP this year was decent, if not as good. It's still carving out space on most end-of-year lists.

Good plan! (Don't mind me, I'm sure you'll look great).

They consider it a good example of a racially pure nation-state. (I'm serious - this is the reason the nazis were cool with them too).

It's a little of column a, a little of column b, but I really do believe that the cord has kind of a slimming effect, and isn't as jarring. If they release them in black or colours even, it won't look quite as dorky.

Ooh, that look is… unfortunate.

Surely the enormous diet soda market is proof positive that consumers will absolutely "compromise on taste for something that’s more nutritious"?

It's making me feel disdain for writers I really like! Why is there advice on a cooking article from someone whose primary objective is minimising the number of dishes to wash afterwards? (It's especially frustrating because intellectually I know the part that bothers me isn't really their opinions, it's the editor…

Ooh, see, that's the sort of big budget spectacle we're looking for from DC.

Yes! It's also part of a general escalation, occurring mid-way to the actual climax, where characters stop pulling punches and it ultimately takes both Cap and Bucky to hold Iron Man down. That final fight would have meant nothing if the film had just maintained intensity throughout - it would have been just a series…

I saw it in the cinema while high on acid (I had, uh, double-booked activities for the day). It was tolerable, but probably less fun than lying in a park staring at my hands.

Well, Amber Heard said in divorce proceedings that he's apparently an alcoholic and still a prodigious drug-user. I gather that's always been the case, but that'll catch up with you.

Why were even half of the characters in that movie? You could literally edit out Katana, Killer Croc and Captain Boomerang without touching the overall plot.

Remember to cut your fingernails! The crucial step I always forget.

And, in a strong sign that I'm up and running again, my sexy Christmas wish is for a satisfying threesome partner in the new year.

Well look at me, finally making a Disqus account.
