I renovate bungalows now

the only half-decent one left

I open the socials like once a week now and am pretty much always instantly reminded why I don’t go online much anymore. It’s become a self-righting mechanism.

why’s Junior Soprano handing out the medals tho

I kinda enjoy watching the snowboarding and that at the winter olympics, but the middle aged male commentators have the most Punk Squirrel IPA energy you’ll ever experience

the Gary Neville anti-woke right wing grift pipeline is probably about a meter long

I am a really humble guy - probably the world’s most humble guy in fact - but nonetheless I’d like you all to know how good and even my splits are on my easy runs

Kemi Badenoch rattling on about the dangers of social media is probably the most egregious example of a lack of self awareness I’ve ever seen

how the fuck did we ban ninja swords but not those bright white LED car headlights

my dad doesn’t understand that Alan Partridge is a satirical character and, as a result, has just declared that he doesn’t like Steve Coogan because he’s “too much like that Alan Partridge”

oh but their wealth will trickle down any moment now

this was an *experience* on my last night in Japan. I’m in a big hotel at the airport and it felt like I did when I used to get vertigo. Hope everyone is ok.

not even a single edit to this photo from my hotel balcony earlier this evening in Hakone. It genuinely looked like that

it’s the wrapped we’ve all been waiting for!

I love Japan

got up at 5am this morning and beat the crowds up Mount Inari. Just a very ethereal experience really

cliché but adding my name to the list of people asking why don’t we all have toilets like Japan.

was just walking around Tokyo and thought *oh look - another university*. WTF

today’s itinerary

A Labour MP, there. Do you see why we said these clowns were disastrous and had to be sidelined as a matter of urgency?

this @kevinclimate.bsky.social video just gets more relevant as time goes on youtu.be/o_FtS_HNbkc

I stood by you through the genocide, the racism and the bashing of the disabled. But making my Sensible Politics look bad? I simply can't condone this.

why does she look like a Skyrim NPC trying to sell me a home in Whiterun?

spent £250m on two players, the silly nonce

Me sowing (an extra hour in bed, once): Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me reaping (it will be dark at 4:30pm for the next 6 months): Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Come on Arne, let's go party

do it

this guy is a fucking danger

this is how it feels to wear high rise pants

getting all the way from Innsbruck in the Austrian Alps to Selby, North Yorkshire by train in a day was one of the stupidest ideas I’ve had tbh lads

is there a more pointless endeavour on this earth than eurostar wifi

this morning’s train journey is from Innsbruck to Zurich

"random" passport checks on the train from Bologna - Innsbruck. They picked the only non-white person in first class (and the people on their table, presumably as a courtesy of some kind).

had a little walk into Lecce this morning and stumbled upon these beautiful people

"your" party being immediately pissed up the wall exclusively by main character syndrome members of parliament just about sums up how eternally fucked uk politics is

when we finally grow up and get round to doing a new national anthem it absolutely must be about the glorious 3-pin plug (and socket)

tonight’s itinerary here. I have never gotten a sleeper train before - do people actually get on/off at any of these stops? It is bonkers

guy sat next to me on the train from Turin to Milan didn’t really speak enough English to converse at all, but he knew enough to say that he likes James Bond, his mum is the queen, and then just before he got off in Novara some really racist stuff about black people having all of the power

done/doing London, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Helsingborg, Torino, Lecce, Bologna, Innsbruck and Paris all this month. It's giving www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MJR...

No words.

it’s more likely that McSweeney will have him out leading the next rally

STARMER: hey I'm appointing this close friend of the world's most notorious paedophile to be US ambassador :) BRITISH PRESS: ok :) [One year later] BRITISH PRESS: wait a minute

fuckheads

anyway, went to Sweden on the train and ran a marathon. Unlocked a second set of tan lines. It was great, lads. Would recommend.

whenever I’m in a European city now and there are millennial Americans I can overhear, they talk to each other in the most online way possible.

i’m making it official: German trains are even worse than ours in the UK
