WTF?! Punching down at people with special needs is never going to be funny.
1) Just because something is delivered glibly, with the cadence of a quip, doesn't actually make it *funny*.
2) Throw in edgy, ableist cheap shots as well, and this would make me chuck a book into the recycling bin.

The New Statesman asked me to put down a few thoughts about Belfast.
On the politics and media that have failed everyone, and how much, and how little, has really changed.

This Sumerian tablet supposedly contains the oldest known example of a bar joke, in the form of a proverb.
It could be translated as: “A dog walks into a bar and says, ‘I cannot see a thing. I’ll open this one.’”
There are many interpretations of what it could mean, or the proper way to translate it
An active response group chat I’m in mentioned two incidents of racially based attacks in east Belfast yesterday; another, who works in safeguarding, mentioned that parents are worried about sending their children to school. Read that again. Those are stories you won’t hear about.

This is the story of a hardcore loyalist element which has stewed for decades in far-right ideology
Claims of two-tier policing and uncontrolled immigration may not be borne out by the facts, but that has not stopped them being played up for political ends
Another thing you won’t find in headlines is that attacks against minorities doesn’t end when the houses are done burning. Incidents have remained commonplace since 2024, and heavily under reported. One of the reasons is that the PSNI doesn’t record data as it’s obligated to - warned by UNCERD
100 pages of this Dungeon Crawler Carl - mediocre, excessive exposition, dreadful action sequences and the pace of a sloth. But this ‘ joke’ really made me want to burn it with fire - I will finish this and then this book will be reviewed
