have learned over the years that you know when cricket or some shit is on when the Brits on the tl start posting like "Borthwick has to get 120 to keep us in this? I'm going back to bed!"

north Vietnam

Not beating the allegations

Extremely freakish AI Santa on the telly in a bar in north Vietnam. He picks up a toy and it warps and melds into his fingers. He descends with his reindeer down some sort of golden heavenly gate with a sci-fi city behind them. Who is this for!

no, you're misremembering. the word "gaslighting" has always just meant lying, why would you think it means something else

27% honestly still very high though a lot of that might be forced by those same managers and execs

These injuries man, we're going to paying the price for this forever. Seems the only thing that could derail the season and it couldn't be going better for everyone else on that front.

And who's paying for your mercenaries? And the roads your wizard-lords ride on?

Found an Arsenal fan who's got far too wound up about Tottenham and catastrophically mixed his metaphors

with the greatest of regret I think Foden is back

me when I block another Elon simp on Bluesky

they're still into 9GAG in Vietnam, this is why communism can never work

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

have been carrying around this beautiful glass pot of honey that I got from a hilltop tribe in Northern Thailand, was going to make a great Christmas present for someone. got a flight today and just opened my bag to find the entire thing has fucking detonated. everything I own coated in honey.

'Our central hypothesis is that poetic form operates as a general-purpose jailbreak operator' huh

how did we travel before google translate?

in Luang Prabang in Laos all the bars close at 11pm due to a curfew, and everyone decamps to a bowling alley a few km out of town which presumably bribes the local coppers to stay open late and sell everyone weed. it also has an archery range for some reason. would love to know the injury statistics

quite funny that there's a whole community of people who have convinced themselves that their pets are speaking to them

what's been going on then

sorry for yapping but y'all

Absolutely bankrupting myself on private Thai healthcare so I can keep having my ADHD drugs, it really does sting. But it's good for me. Can't escape it. And I'm never getting anything in the UK without a much more expensive private diagnosis there (though cheaper drugs I guess...)

He's relatively good looking for a politician but this stuff is all a bit overcooked isn't it. Find it vaguely embarrassing.

great council wards of England

Have said this before, but once when I had surgery the ICU nurse had learned English as a second language & kept using "perv" to mean "look" eg "my colleagues and I will need a quick perv under those bandages" "let's have a perv how you're healing" etc

New favourite food for those keeping track: Burmese fermented tea leaf salad. Unreal.

this would fix me

this is masterful

Egon Schiele, Hand, 1910

About a week ago I got back at about 4am absolutely gone and recorded a full acapella version of Sixteen Tons which I send to my mate and promptly forgot about. Just found it again. Might share if I get to 1000 followers or whatever. It's not actually bad.

Ableism Cliff Racer:

Feels like Arsenal are getting to that point which City always used to be at where they're never first on Match of the Day or neutral podcasts because nothing happened. They won 2-0 and totally outclassed someone. Crack on. It's good isn't it.

Forest robbed but you can't VAR that even if it makes United suffer. The rules there are absolutely correct.

Quite tough when much of the Arsenal set piece game plan is having both the best delivery and the best set piece attacker in the world (plus a supporting cast of giants). Grow another foot? Break Rice's ankle?

Early signs of begging for Trossard to be taken off before he scores

my ominscient girlfriend has been cursed with knowledge. she has judged humanity and found it wanting. she wakes every night screaming in lost languages. you don't even need to add 'reddit' when you ask her stuff.

CONFIDENCE MAN

I don't know if I regard Mormon -> UKIP -> Corrupt Reform MEP to be a particularly unusual career path to be honest

Walked past a wall with a load of unlabelled takeaway tubs full of something and a hand written sign saying KIMCHI so you'd better believe I'm eating it with my hands now
