It's probably from the money we saved by not putting lightbulbs in the back half of the training dome.

More disingenuous bullshit from the stupidest man on the planet. Completely incapable of crafting a compliment without it being backhanded. Why can't he do the world a favour and just keel over and fucking die?

In case you missed it: My suggestion that Farage was whispering to Trump behind the scenes while Trump was going after Greenland has been essentially confirmed.

As @jamesdaustin.bsky.social notes: Working against your country's interest with a semi-hostile state - there's a word for that.

27 years ago today Watford and Sheffield Wednesday are locked in a penalty shootout.

The deciding kick falls to Big Kevin Pressman.

BBC Politics Tweet reading: "Greenland... is a second order issue" Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch says there are more important issues in global politics than Donald Trump's attempts to acquire Greenland, such as the protests in Iran

No Kemi, Trump threatening to invade a NATO ally is not a "second order issue."

It’s a direct challenge to Britain’s security and the future of NATO.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

It’s 36 years since David Hirst started the 90s in absolutely sensational style…

Yeah, fuck that. Anyone travelling to the US by choice needs to give their head a wobble.

If we are willing to pay lots of money to have a super capable machine in our homes controlled by Elon Musk we actually don’t deserve to survive as a species.

It’s John Sheridan’s birthday today. You remember him.

Midfielder. Playmaker. And scorer of one of the sauciest set pieces you could ever wish to see.

'Everytime you think it can't get any worse...in he comes with the most extraordinary nonsense.'

As Trump links paracetamol to autism, @mrjamesob.bsky.social feels we ought be 'better at distinguishing between normal occupants of the presidential office - and baboons'.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From LONDON—Claiming that he recognized the member of the royal family, but his memory was hazy, President Donald Trump has spent his entire trip to the U.K. trying to figure out where he knows Prince Andr...

Current state of UK political discourse.

100% this

Really great piece on the state of Sheffield Wednesday and the lack of response from the governing body

1. [SCENE: Medieval village next to a hill with sheep grazing on it. From somewhere in the village comes a sound effect:] DING 2. [We now see a MEDIEVAL PERSON looking at a smartphone. He is talking to ANOTHER MEDIEVAL PERSON] MEDIEVAL GUY: Ugh [Phone sounds again] DING 3 MEDIEVAL GUY: It’s that shepherd boy again 4 MEDIEVAL GUY: He’s started a WhatsApp group for wolf attacks 5 MEDIEVAL GUY: Everybody in the village has joined it to be polite But he’s got all needy and started oversharing 6 [Show the guy’s phone. It displays a WhatsApp group called 'Sheep Chat!!!’, with a photo posted by the Shepherd boy of him taking a selfie with a sheep. Caption reads “HEY GUYS THE SHEEP SAY HI!!!!”] 7 MEDIEVAL GUY: I really want to leave the group bit it’d look too rude It’s like his only entertainment up there 8 ANOTHER MEDIEVAL PERSON: Mute him then [Phone goes DING again] 9 MEDIEVAL GUY: But what if a wolf comes along and eats him and his flock in some kind of narratively satisfying bloodbath? 10 [He pauses. Phone goes DING once more.] 11 [PHONE GOES CRAZY] DING DING DING [He looks at it and just presses MUTE] 12 MEDIEVAL GUY: Ahem. [ends]

Ugh it's the shepherd boy

A mate on WhatsApp shared this meme and it’s utterly sublime.
I’m a Wednesdayite and what’s happening at Hillsborough is an utter shitshow.

It's hard to grasp just how stupid he is, but this helps

'Who do you trust more... Donald Trump, who lies about everything, or the US intelligence community?'

@mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts to the President's claim that Iran's nuclear sites were 'totally obliterated'.

Jesus Christ this graph. Total and utter political failure.

It drives me nuts. The Telegraph, Mail, Sun etc and the politicians they sponsor like Johnson, Farage, Cameron & Truss got everything they wanted for fourteen of the last fifteen years & only now, with Labour in power for *less than one*, do they acknowledge the damage they have done. It’s sick.

I feel as though something is telling me to like this.

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

It's mad that a platform designed to let you catch up with old friends has failed so spectacularly through contact limiting algorithms, shitty adverts, fake news and hate that it's having to offer pretend friends for you.

An old lady tapping on glass

Awful scenes at the shops today as someone's nan got locked inside their cybertruck and had to call tech support to be let out.

I wondered for a while why Trump was so excited by Brexit, even to the point of getting Farage to fluff him. It was simple, really: proof that, with the support of enough bent media, bad people selling bigotry & lies really could persuade people to vote to punch themselves in the face forever.
