Swindon Town should have Arsenal's place given their 3-1 League Cup win over them in 1969. But we were denied European football being a third tier team at the time of the win.

As compensation, Anglo-Italian Cup was formed, which Swindon Town won, beating Napoli in the final, among others.

On Football Manager (2008), I won the World Cup in 2026/2030 with Uzbekistan - so no pressure but your ex manager has high expectations.

Congratulations after many near misses.

Looks like we've got one of those 4 wins today. 😆 why is our club like this.

Shame, did they even give a reason for postponing?

you could not pay me to give a shit about what other people do if it doesn't endanger anyone else and i just can't understand people who feel differently

it's their religion.

people are drawn to faith because it offers a sense of comfort and meaning in a universe of absolute chaos

these people cling to their dream of an AI future because offers them an eternity where they remain on top, and their greatest sins are forgiven by a machine genius

CDC Teams That Study Gun Violence and Collect Data Are Decimated by Layoffs The Trump’s administration’s cuts come after the field of gun violence research saw renewed federal support during the Biden era.

The Trump administration is slashing jobs at the divisions responsible for studying and preventing gun violence. The CDC’s Division of Violence Prevention lost an estimated three-quarters of its staff.

"In the eyes of this administration, immigrants who are undocumented are all “illegal immigrants” and these “illegal immigrants”, ergo, are all “criminals”.

But, on so many levels, it’s just not true. It’s a popular myth pushed by the right that needs urgent debunking."

I stand with the penguins. ✊️🐧

In some fevered dream, we could be back in the Premier League, but we'd still struggle against Cheltenham for some reason. At least we got a draw though. Team has found some fight and grit these last few months. Who knows what the future holds.

Yellow and white daffodils, the white much smaller, more delicate, than the bold, sunny yellow, all so gladsome. Photo from last year--too early in my garden, but daffodils are the traditional flower for St David's Day in Wales.

Happy St David's Day!

This is awesome

If you know of a #projection connection that's missing from the poster, please let me know! I would like to expand it at some point.

(Also it's free to download and if anyone's ever printed it out in the last couple of years I'd be keen to know!)

just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes:

Club wrongly claiming there’s a national shortage of Bovril because they can’t admit they can’t serve hot water.

One regular day of Swindon Town Football Club. Will never, ever happen.

Nope, anyone but them...

Thanks for the pod and driving this movement to try and save our club. I'll be there in spirit from over the pond. It's unlikely, but it there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

One question...why orange?

Call it whatever you want. We all know what it is...
