remember: whether it's to a government or to a technology, you always have the right to say "no." you may pay a price for it, but your compliance is not foreordained. refusal is your right; sometimes, it is your obligation as a free human being.

I feel like I’m living in some weird fucking Beckett play or a dystopian sequel to Being There where the president of the United States is just increasingly obviously a porridge-brained mental patient and everyone nods and smiles like it’s normal.

wasn't planning on arsenal sorrow drinking today

welp.

we have a way of making lower-tier goalkeepers have the games of their lives

silly max, that was silly.

Shithole country.

BIG VIK!!!

this would be the competition i wouldn't mind going out of, but still not a great look to do it to a fourth-tier side.

cool. very cool.

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!

If Flavio Bolsonaro has fled to the USA, the US Government need to deport him back to Brazil to face trial there as soon as Trump loses the midterms. There can be no hiding criminals fleeing from justice.

because of course. shorturl.at/kW7XV

yes, this absolutely —

would be too much to ask of the gods that it last until 20 december...

Yeah, this is getting absurd. Zero scrutiny. BBC News broadcasts Reform UK speeches in full without interruptions www.thenational.scot/news/2667178...

Urge to poke the bear so strong. Must resist.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

this captures brilliantly how it felt to listen to these records for the first time. i return to them again and again — S&M and Bible Studies open.substack.com/pub/hinterne...

of course they want orbán to run the UN. @petchary.bsky.social

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

let's fucking go

It is very important that everyone know that this is not okay. It's not okay in any way.

this is also 40 in 2026 @nytimes.com ... www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/n...

Mike Rogers got caught on a hot mic planning voter suppression, and Abdul El-Sayed called it out on the debate stage:

no wonder trump is a fan... 😬

lula might... pull this out?

congrats madridistas, but i will never be able to enjoy mourinho winning. @4jinxremoving.bsky.social

wouldn't be boring at least?

The Heritage Foundation adviser who recruited 12 bishops to pray over Trump in the Oval Office claimed a Ph.D. from an Italian university that doesn’t grant doctorates. His listed bachelor’s school is a high school. A Vatican official called the meeting an insult to Pope Leo XIV.

among the reasons i don't take the @nytimes.com seriously is that they're somehow and for some reason still paying thomas friedman, who hasn't had an original thought since... uh... i'm sure he's had one original thought at some point, despite the evidence. ...right? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

Since the 2023-24 season, no Premier League side has lost more home games by a margin of three or more goals in all competitions than Manchester United (7). (Opta)

i find myself agreeing with most of this, just minus the theology — how to square that circle remains the rub though, innit. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...

at least united have some winnable fixtu — chelsea (A) roma (H) villa (H) liverpool (A) sporting (A) brentford (H)

to keep things in perspective though, at least united aren't cheaters — they got here honestly.

the real storyline here though is bournemouth proving they can win without kroupi, making it much easier for them to sell him to us in january

that is an absolutely insane stat — that bournemouth have scored 3+ in four straight visits to old trafford

glory glory man united... 😂

this game really needs united to go down to ten for full comedic value

United undone by utterly uninspiring uselessness.

generally not a fan of alliteration, but this is poetry i can stand behind
