6"2 in a compact. No slack. But luckily the seats go back - perfection. Thanks for the earworm :-)

While I appreciate all the hard work going into the Arise church expose, I am very grateful for this slice of loveliness with Louis.

This rap has become a fun thing to recite to my dog because she’s always jiggling and wiggling.

I haven't read this yet, but I just want to say that this post is my ultimate crossover and I am _here for it_.

Edit: I've read it and it was good.

Come on David write a rap we know you want to maybe it could be about Arise church blow out all that shite you’ve been exposed to.

What a fun article. I really like how he leaned into the “new excitement” around a 14 year old piece and rather than being too cool for it now, is embracing the fun in it. He is a cool dude. I am fascinated by Arise and the horrible things happening there, but I agree this article is a nice rest from the horrors of that church.

I love Louis, there’s a running joke amongst my friends about the fact that I can find a documentary of his for every life situation I find myself in (I’m currently working on a dementia ward and you bet I watched his doc as research!!). Do you think you could write a viral rap song and if so what would it be about

I somehow totally missed this viral phenomenon this week! Can't believe I didn't even see AOC's post. But this was just lovely.

In my extremely experienced, professional opinion as someone who spent one (1) full day on the set of a TV series 15 years ago, I strongly encourage the two of you to partner up on a project. Would be brilliant, and also you could play the twin game and switch places to see if your interview subjects notice.

(And I gotta say, you must have gained some power of divination from your constant contact with Arise, because how else would you know that I needed this today? This week I got myself tangled up in the most bizarre and high profile operation I've ever been stupid enough to get into, and I've been feeling completely detached from reality all day. This little piece brought me back to the ground, which honestly? WW does for me all the time, what with this community of weird little wormy folk. Probably in the top 3 reasons why I'm here, so much appreciated. <3)

On the subject of white guys rapping, you should really do yourself a favour and check out comedian Chris Turner’s YouTube channel, if you haven’t already. His signature freestyle raps are amazing, not only for his astonishingly quick wit, but for how funny and educational they are as well
