at the gym one teenage boy is comforting another through a break up while they do pull ups together. says ‘bro don’t even worry about her what if i get some edibles for this weekend bro let’s just get blasted and play GTA.’ honestly very touching

“Offerings have been left here for millennia!” This is true! Not candles though. May I suggest: flowers! fruit! crystals! anything natural or biodegradable, bird and rodent friendly, that is not on fire! please continue leaving offerings but just choose wisely and respectfully.

You think Arsenal losing on penalties is funny? I'll tell you something that's not so funny. Right now, Keir Starmer is at home, crying like a little girl!

I'm glad the timeline has descended into a debate about which of Arsenal and PSG's ownership is more morally reprehensible - and people say Bluesky is dying.

If I were Gabriel I would simply kick the ball in the net (my feeble limbs would not be capable of generating enough power to kick it over)

Some kid just cheered across the road and got booed by his own dad. This has to be football related

Well, at least Paul Kagame is also unhappy.

In November 2023, police discovered the decayed corpse of Tracey Turnell in Walthamstow Market. She had no phone, job, passport, friends or lovers. There wasn’t a single photo of her. It was as if, in her far too public death, she entered the public record for the first time. Who was she?

I would be absolutely shitting myself if I were Cristhian Mosquera right now. PSG abysmal around the box all game; never scoring if he doesn't make that tackle.

Bring back the 'micro' in 'microblogging'

Looking for a mixed Caucasian/Japanese teen/early 20s female model for a lifestyle photoshoot in Odaiba on June 10th. Paid gig. She will be part of a family. My 16 year old son is playing the part of the son. If you or someone you know may be interested, please feel free to DM me for details.

Why not just use this one weird trick of taking a lower salary but becoming chairman of the SNP?

thank you so so much for the offer but I won't be reading a 6,000 word essay on the Labour party from Tony Blair, so kind of you but afraid I'll simply have to pass

A senior Labour source said: “Tony has evidently not been near a working-class Brit for decades but he’s clearly been away with the tech bro fantasists."

Oh good, a Tonty Intervention. I am sure this will pan out well for all involved.

Al Détente when it's just peaceful but not too peaceful

In the universe where Kamala Harris wins, and the strait of Hormuz never closes, even assuming Labour makes all the same mistakes, the next election is not remotely close.

Rewatching Dodgeball and, while not every joke has aged beautifully over the past two decades, it really is a sensationally tightly written comedy. Not a wasted line.

Good to see France now getting the Ancient Japanese Tradition Of treatment

i dunno I think sometimes people just enjoy talking to like minded people. do you do this kind of shit with your friends offline

The lady next door asked if she could come into our garden today to take a photo of our roses to send to the lady who lived here for 40 years before us, now in a care home. I hope I have friends like that when I need it.

This is the most correct post ever made on Bluesky

Bluesky is the most forum-like of the microblogging platforms and like its forumnal ancestors it would benefit from a siloed subforum for meta-complaints about the forum

Actually on second thoughts maybe Bluesky is dying

Me: "I think after meeting my friend for coffee I'll go for a nice walk in one of the parks." The weather: "A beer garden is a kind of park..."

I'm in @theobserveruk.bsky.social today on why a lot of the AI/jobpocalypse debate misses the point. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

I like how wikipedia could only get a freely licensed photo of the political editor of BBC News by cropping this UK government photo

'Like him or loathe him, Danny Kruger is a serious political figure with experience of government who brings a real policy hinterland to the Reform project' - the average political pundit anytime the man is mentioned.

Maybe he just hates Don Jr. as much as the rest of us

Tomorrow: we regret to inform you that Andy Burnham has declared the land tax woke

Guys anyone know if Warsh has been sworn in as Fed Chair yet

You must understand: Lily, who works doing data analysis for the University of Bristol and lives in a house share is middle class. Brian, her landlord, who is a self employed plumber declaring around a third of his income is working class.

I'm sure we all have our red flags that signal we should ignore an opinion writer's opinion, and the suggestion that a large proportion of WFH employees are kicking about all day doing naff all might be my biggest.

Time to celebrate at PPF HQ!! 🥂

Where's my PPF wrapped to let me know if I'm in the top 0.05% of listeners this year?

Popping on the dog-collar here, but there's no way Starmer comes lower than Johnson - perhaps the only prime minister of whom we should be utterly ashamed as a nation. Johnson combined all of Starmer's flaws and incapacities with a moral turpitude, dishonesty and venality that no other PM can match.

Labour HQ: the lesson we must learn from this data is that we are successfully staunching the flow to Reform; time to double down

Long had a soft spot for Arsenal, as they were the first truly great footballing team I got to appreciate as a fan learning to love the sport in the early 00s. I always hoped Wenger would win one last title before he retired, but glad to see the Premier League trophy finally rock up at the Emirates.

This is appalling. My thoughts with everyone at Sheffield affected by this news. The criminal neglect of our world-class university system is a stain on this government and many that came before it.

alright fine, if google doesn't want to do it, maybe we can start our own search engine. does anyone know who won the 1973 world series
