I think she's right and I just despair. If he wins it's evidence for more of the same, and if he loses then it's either Starmer or Streeting and hence more of the same. Heads they win, tails we lose. And the whole country going to Reform (on 25% of the vote because of our absurd system) as a result!

Daryl gets the main heat for “we’re confident we sold high” but the more annoying culprit to me is Nurse, who couldn’t find minutes in his 6-man rotation for McCain and is also still here

This is an insane start by the spurs

Not sure I can keep watching this, it's cruel

We're cooked here. Looking every bit a team that went from 2nd in the league to bottom half since the start of the year.

Putting stats up at half time that illustrated absolutely nothing

Gwaan Izzy

No idea why Tuchel is getting all the hate over his squad selection. Toney's experience playing in half-empty stadiums under an authoritarian regime could prove invaluable.

Me: praying for Japanese people I'm trying to make plans with to be direct about what they want to do so I don't have to mind read Also me: not being direct about my opinions in the same conversation

Just to throw a spanner in the food is from where discourse, ramen is essentially Japanese food but anywhere that serves it is definitionally a Chinese restaurant

I will never understand how Keir reconciles his self-conception as a good man doing a good job as prime minister with “my premiership had to be brought to the brink of death for me to say this”.

Ngl kinda shocked to see there are still ride or die Starmer people

I hate the elasticity and imprecision of the concept of a "mandate", with people squinting at election results and interpreting it how they want. This isn't literally true because we don't have direct Prime Ministerial elections.

The NBA has to have the biggest gap between normal season games and knockouts in any sport I swear

Maybe this only applies to younger millennials but surely in the end by linkin park is in consideration? Incredibly of it's time

Surely they've suffered enough?

ernie: welcome back to inside the nba, presented by minions 6 shaq: them little guys fuck kenny: i can’t believe you’re doing this again. these are characters in a children’s movie shaq: they’re advertising at 11:30. no kids watching. them little guys fuck chuck: i bet gru has peyronie’s disease

Why does it look like Rachel Reeves is officiating a wedding between Keir Starmer and Gordon Brown

At a job interview that was supposed to start 30+ mins ago and the guy before me is also waiting, given the schedule is for them to be 5 mins apart I'm curious what disaster has struck

Incredible FB comment from a guy trying to put down a Green councillor who has been elected who has discovered the concept of political policies

Ngl I think today would be a good day for Starmer to declare himself godking president for life

A colleague called me a terrorist because my lunch always smells good. I don't think she knows my familial ties to the IRA so we'll give her a pass this time

Bert and Ernie should have their own show. I don't want to have to watch Sesame Street to see what they're up to. I'm not 5

Saw a trailer for the mandalorian film today and I swear Disney have just given up? Like it didn't even try to suggest there was any reason to watch the movie

Me: I want to be able to dunk again Also me: counting calories makes me sad Also also me: squats are evil

i’m deleting my repost of a fake account impersonating an nba reporter. i didn’t look close enough and i was fooled, and that’s on me. the basketball court does NOT fold up like a backgammon board after the game and the players do NOT sleep in it until the next game

remember that dumb time in the aughts when richard dawkins was like, The Smart Guy

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

In totally unsurprising news, Richard Dawkins is developing AI psychosis. Paywall bypass: archive.is/6RdK9

Shaq holding a funeral for the Hawks

the Knicks are leading 60-19, which is actually higher than the scoring margin on the scoreboard in this Space Jam gag before it says "kinda one sided isn't it"

Far from the madding crowd can get in the bin

Every sheep deserves this.

It's old mate emperor hirohito's birthday tomorrow so no work, so I'm spending my evening watching Apollo 13 to see what this moon business is about

(children gathered round the fire to hear stories of my youth) Stressed but not panicked, Tommy declared it was morphin time, and lo, it was morphin time. Tommy and his friend paused to name some dinosaurs, and get changed into gender and racially thematic bodysuits, as the putties waited to strike.

Only Bluesky could produce a guy that loves Will Stancil’s takes, thinks Hasan Piker is too radical, and believes the best course of action is to try and assassinate the president.

Nba2k is just fun enough to become a major source of stress in my life, when I should be worrying about like, applying for jobs coz I'm in the last year of my contract, or studying for my language exam, or -redacted because this is getting to personal-

I’m sorry, we can all agree that this has been a fascinating experiment, but “the administration has responded to an attempt on the life of the President by seeking to accelerate the construction of a ballroom” is clearly a coding error and I think we are entitled to demand the simulation resets.

I swear we treat MPs like babies, toughen up a little bit like. If you need to drink to get through your overtime maybe you have a problem

FUCKING CALLED IT.

Dude was in the military, then Congress, now just saying the sort of shite yer da did the first time he had a go on Colombian nose candy

LeBron being like, the greatest ever teenager and greatest ever old man basketballist is quite impressive
