In a new edition of Russell’s 1932 essay, In Praise of Idleness, Australian humorist Bradley Trevor Greive has reimagined some of his finest aphorisms for a good life.

Because of the similarity between Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman during the filming of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999), their own mothers could not tell them apart once in makeup.
When a mass shooting occurs, we talk about gun control and mental health issues, but we never talk about toxic masculinity or male violence. Women have access to guns. Women suffer from mental health issues. So what’s the difference? Why can’t we talk about it in those terms?
It’s ok but just letting you know, you are letting someone disrespect you and you find it to be “cute..”
It’s kind of weird tbh.
In all honesty girls who do this must not value themselves, how can you want someone to treat you like shit?
It takes years to unlearn the things that society teaches is love or loving is actually abusive and disrespectful.
I’m saying it in love, give them time to learn.
I don’t know… I keep going back and forth with this but I’m not convinced that women liking assholes is a real trend.
I think “assholes” are men with bad intentions who at first pretend to be good guys.
I think that most of the time when you see a woman with a shitty male the guy treated her well at first and now she’s emotionally attached and finds it hard to leave even though his true nature has been revealed.
It doesn’t make sense to me that tons of women are walking around saying “I really want a man that treats me like shit! That’s the ideal man!”
And I think this myth or stereotype or whatever you want to call it contributes to victim blaming culture and letting men off the hook for emotionally and/ or physically abusing women.
