John Brown’s body is a mouldering in the grave. John Brown’s body is a mouldering in the grave. John Brown’s body is a mouldering in the grave!
But HIS SOUL IS MARCHING ON~!

John Brown was right and remains right and will remain right

The box should be transformable into a replica of the canal as well.

4 panel comic - first panel has a white cat that laments "life is sad. I'm so sad." Second panel has a black cat that's holding chicken nuggets and saying "want chicken nuggets?" Third panel is the white cat still crying in silent, and the fourth is the same white cat with a silly smiling expression holding a nugget. The text next to it says "hehe yay." in small letters.

it's the smol things in life

As a person who suffered a nasty ankle sprain / ligament tear playing football recently. Wataru Endo is one of the bravest, most hard bastards I have ever seen. Watching it back, I don't know how he was able to stand never mind move about.
I really hope he can recover in time for the World Cup. #LFC

Reading and writing can lower dementia risk by almost 40%, study finds Cognitive health in later life is ‘strongly influenced’ by lifelong exposure to intellectually stimulating environments, say researchers

"Reading, writing and learning a language or two can lower your risk of dementia by almost 40%, according to a study that suggests millions of people could prevent or delay the condition."

So get offline and open a book!!

Eni Aluko getting phenomenal levels of abuse for her football knowledge/punditry skills and yet Jay Bothroyd and David Bentley on Sky Sports News have just both called for Harry Redknapp to return to Spurs until the end of the season 👀

I have a new favourite fact.

MELANIE PHILLIPS Peter Mandelson trawl risks becoming a witch-hunt Ugly impulse to expose anyone who had dealings with the disgraced politician rests on guilt by association Melanie Phillips Monday February 09 2026, 7.12pm GMT, The Times < Share W hen Sir Keir Starmer told the Commons that the information he could release about appointing Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US was limited by protection of national security and international relations, there was uproar. The prime minister was subsequently forced to accept that all communications between Mandelson and the government should be handed to parliament's intelligence and security committee (ISC) to decide what to publish. The outrage was understandable. It is reasonable to assume that, by definition, the government can't be trusted to do the right thing on a matter like this. So the ISC route seemed an appropriate way of dealing with it. Several days on, however, and with the crisis continuing to accelerate, concerns about the scope of these disclosures are also increasing. Lord Ricketts, former permanent secretary at the Foreign Office, has said that, while it is right to make public all documents relating to Mandelson's appointment, the IS's requirements include disclosure of all electronic communications between Mandelson, ministers, officials and special advisers during his time as ambassador.

Psycho Mel is first out with this one and she won’t even be the last at that paper, never mind elsewhere, but this should indicate how insulting and despicable it is.

Then they should’ve sold him in January rather than have this nonsense go on.

Maybe his knee just isn’t getting better? He looked decent when he played against Palace.

Happy birthday, Wata 🎂

Liverpool games 9-28 in 2020/21: W7 D5 L8. 26 points.
Liverpool games 6-25 this season: W6 D6 L8. 24 points.

Two seasons following titles. Different factors in play for each. But a similar outcome at a similar stage. Weird, innit?

Good morning Tokyo I just saw this awesome chart about dinosaurs and suddenly felt inspired. Feel free to tell me what I missed. 😇

A lot of people who later regretted it felt the same way about Margaret Thatcher. One day, we'll generally accept that it's the principle that matters, and not the personality, but we may need another millennium or so.

Yeah it cannot be stated enough that whatever you think about her politics, the fact that Takaichi is leading Japan after decades of stuffy old men is worth a lot to its people, especially the women.

a badly drawn gold star with text that says "never gave money to discord"

feeling pretty smug right about now

When you go from winning all the time to losing all the time you want to find someone to blame, but man, sometimes shit just happens.

Liverpool hitting new levels of "sometimes it is just not your year."

Feel bad for Slot. Still think he's pretty good. Not sure what he's supposed to do about his best player becoming his worst player + a beloved locker room glue guy dying in an accident + losing every single dice roll.

I think we should remember that Man City spent more on transfers the last 13 months than Liverpool did, without selling as many of their players as Liverpool did (tho in fairness both lost super generational talents in KdB and Trent, who got the bags and promptly got injured).
But my point stands.

Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh no. Cat first.

No it was worse. They gave the free kick to City!

Good Process... #lfc

Is he through on goal? Yes. Are there any defenders in his direct path to goal apart from the goalkeeper? No. Is it a penalty? No.
So it’s a red card. Those are the rules.

Guehi was very good, but he got beat. He should’ve gone.

The fundamental issue with leftist Japanese parties is they have nothing to stand on. They really have no vision of progressive economics that’s differentiated, and their messaging about gender equality/LGBT rights fall flat because the LDP isn’t *coded* as anti-those, fairly or unfairly.

"Oh, she seems nice and smiley, and it's *really* nice to vote for a woman PM considering everything in Japan's culture and history."

Five months later: "Oh, no"

A 25 year old would have been 11 when Abe's second term began in 2012.

Takaichi has successfully hidden the most unpopular bits of the LDP agenda in the election runup, so there's going to be a massive snapback among those who can't imagine an unleashed right wing.

Yeah, this is more what I'm hearing. She also gets a lot of bonus points with some people for "standing up to China."

The contrast between her friendly, genki image and the "endless revolving door of old male LDP politicians who just maintain the status quo" is huge.

Happy Birthday to Wataru Endo 🎂
