Attention scum teenagers: It’s time to stop eating avocado toast, being and having genders, and do your patriotic duty (get obliterated to a fine mist by weapons that might as well be fired from outer space in a new, somehow even dumber war)

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... With no disrespect intended to the poor man, this does look like The Onion

I have never seen coverage of a live trial, one involving allegations of multiple sex attacks on multiple women, framed in a more distasteful way. It's not 'Fame under fire' it's a rape trial. And it involves actual women. And this from the *checks notes* BBC

Can’t wait for the video to drop of unblinking Ferran Soriano telling Man City staff that their defeat to PSG tonight is only Uefa’s opinion of the game and he has irrefutable evidence that they actually won it.

This is a really important story

Aw guys. I’ve just got back home and we’re only 13 calendars from the target now. Thank you everyone. We might actually make it! Lostfilmsbook.store

So, happy 89th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians—and someone concussed him with a brick

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

I need to add this to my list of things to not watch until after a certain event occurs

Hang on. City are saying that their overpayments came form a different source so … that’s alright?! And this irrefutable evidence has already been … refuted.

If you used to listen to @robinince.bsky.social on The Infinite Monkey Cage then give his new podcast series a go. This episode with @chanda.blacksky.app was very interesting and enlightening. It also added a few more books to my To Be Read pile! tinyurl.com/374udvz8

What that false money more than paid for: 15/16: De Bruyne, Sterling (£99m) 16/17: Stones, Jesus, Sane (£112m) 17/18: Walker, B Silva, Ederson (£123m)

The techbros don't want you to see this trailer. Pass it on.

If I am me and I am competent then so what if I'm evil? Billy Shakes wrote this rationalizing horseshit and wrote it way better, Pete: "What do I fear? Myself? There's none else by. Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I. Is there a murderer here? No. Yes, I am. Then fly! What, from myself?"

Seconded and posted. Everyone else get aboard and let it fly.

Being a leftist means taking big shots. And making them.

My TV EPG is promising a show called Attenborough’s Big Birds and all I can imagine is him earnestly whispering, “This… is Diana Dors.”

The Keegan Odyssey Part 1 - another memoir dive, this time the 'Electric Mouse', Kevin Keegan. Another TFTM high point... pod.link/1361056037/e...

It's just such a shock that our media industry, dominated by straight white men, don't see any good reason to ditch twitter.

Penda’s Fen. Wow. Well worth the hype and not what I was expecting at all.

4 years since The Rock did one if the all time tweets

READ THIS: Had the European Convention on Human Rights not been part of British law, there would STILL be no justice for the 97 Hillsborough victims and their families, writes Oxford University's Murray Hunt👇 🔗 www.modernslaverypec.org/latest/hills... Human rights law is on the side of the people

One can marvel at the philanthropic majesty of Dolly Parton and praise her as a rare example of a mega-rich person with a good heart or weaponize progressive language, slur the minimal legal protections of copyright as "rent seeking" and pretend creative labor is not "real" labor  but not both.

This is a wonderful piece of writing that absolutely hits several nails on their respective heads.

As ever, obsessed by the euphemism of “Vertical Drinking”. “How can we make standing up, having a pint with your friends, sound bad?” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I’ve spent several hours tonight watching Jeremy Brett’s Sherlock Holmes on ITVX. I think it is close to the pinnacle of British TV. Camp without being arch. For a mass audience. No concessions to lack of concentration. Wonderfully shot, directed and acted. Made by Granada. Excellence is possible.

What isn’t up?

Odyssey thoughts. Homecoming > voyage

Is Trump dead yet?

Already today I've seen this, and on LinkedIn, one pensioner was complaining it was no help to him because he already has a free bus pass, and another was complaining he doesn't get a free bus pass despite having "paid in all his working life" - he lives in Spain.

Brilliant team performance by Northants there. True Grit.

Micah Richard’s. Wrong about everything. Always.

England might need to attack at some point

Why’s Pickford even giving Simeone a chance to dive?

Joe Hart just won the world cup

Farage the climate denier. Fiddling his books while Conwy burns.

Kane’s voice has gone again post-match so he’s trying a different approach this time
