was going to do a silly bit about how they should be allowed to have their little pubs because the London tapwater is dreadful, but then remembered that they probably have their little pubs because the tapwater had cholera in it at the time of their institution, several centuries ago, in the past

O'Sullivan really is playing like a guy who has to keep track of the number of days he spends in the UK

I still don't know wtf is going on, neither do you, but I saw lambs, little goats and fancy chickens

We've missed it all now, but Helensburgh was celebrating a famous son and his contribution to telly. jlbtv100.org

Met this absolute ledge today

no mate i'm not going to work out wtf is going on, i'm going to go look at lambs on a farm instead

Very easy but kind of fun. #Snooker #WorldChampionship

Acutely uncomfortable with seeing players in their casual clothes #snooker

The fastest way to get iPlayer to deliver you snooker is to go: - Categories - Sport This should return any live streams at the top of the menu. (I don't know if you need to have previously watched a stream for any possible algo to know you're interested)

He had us in the first half there, ngl #snooker

When Mark Williams looks at a shot he doesn't fancy, it's with the air of a car mechanic about to charge you 4 figures. Barry Hawkins is more of a guy choosing the least unappetising sandwich in the shop on a train.

Controversial solution to the debate of the day - put the snooker on BBC Four but with #totp audio. Perhaps a little picture in picture if you're nasty.

Dreams on a Pillow is the game that the establishment doesn't want you to play. A game made by Palestinians about Palestine. This game needs to exist, and we can make it happen. Please back, share, and talk about this game. We must amplify the voices that they're trying so hard to silence.

Legitimately handmade 147 break patch for all the snooker sickos out there xx (snickos? snookos?) www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

If I were Liam Rosenior I would consider this an incredible opportunity to take my severance package down Games Workshop and become the king of Warhammer

Really candid and slightly upsetting interview with Gary Wilson after losing to Judd T - I'm sure there's a sports psychology argument for letting people decline post match comments, that kind of brutal self-talk can't be doing any good

I did a big deadlift PB and now I'm having a delightful German isotonic beverage and some sushi with the snooker on

I think if I was to write the Great Snooker Romance Novel I would probably have to make it a 90s period piece with an alternate universe Class of 92 to give it a bit of textural heft.

yeah he'll be back and back again

yeah but what if i did include a graph of BPM

Stan Moody grinning sheepishly as he proper arses it up is very, very relatable

Does "genre" even really mean anything in terms of music at this point?

Snooker: an exquisite combination of classical physics, ASMR and psychic damage

Crucible.....of Passion!

Work in progress: I'm making something for the Snooker Massive and I think I need to make custom glyphs to denote various combos of century breaks & 147s

once more i ask snooker fandom where they're hiding the yaoi

Can remember seeing a CBeebies(?) documentary on iplayer about Stan Moody when he was eeeeeeven younger and about to try and win his tour card, bless him

The waistband I sewed is not correct in any dimension

Absolutely scandalised by what a FPP quilting pattern wants me to do

It looks fine and sunny but cold in Reykjavík, wish I was up there and heading down the main street to get some chips later

Wandering around muttering "if not, you should" waiting for someone to answer with the code phrase

Them: "Oh Zhao will just steamroller his first round opponent" The Crucible: Imma make him work for it

This is structurally identical to a Da Share Z0ne post

imagine if all i had to do for the next two weeks was catch up on my crafting queue and watch the snooker

I just think its neat

Try and do something nice today! x

this story was absolutely unavoidable today (i tried!) and it's such an obvious propagandistic blast they trying to whip up some hate before the devolved & local elections then?

OH I had a question for TTRPG people: has anyone made a football (soccer) TTRPG? I guess I'm thinking of a sort of mashup of Dream Team, Football Manager, Ted Lasso type setting where the off-field antics are as important as the dice simulation of the success of a panenka yeah maybe there's kissing

I did have to explain to some less extremely online folks this week why RAM is suddenly a million pounds and yet I think they're still probably going to make gentle fun of me for being so vehemently anti AI.

The Lifechanging Magic of Going "HNUUUURGH, GET IT RIGHT UP YE" to fascists

found out about a Chinese EV called the Funky Cat today

Scottish Labour, my expectations were low, but jeeeeeeeeez

Not only is this a betrayal of young trans people in Scotland, and the commitment to LGBT equality for which Scottish Labour has stood since it faced down public opinion to repeal Section 28 as one of its first acts in government in 2000, it is also a betrayal of Scottish Labour members' wishes.

At Scottish Labour Conference in Feb 2025, a leadership-backed motion to adopt a transphobic policy on single-sex spaces in schools was defeated. Party members and affiliates voted it down. Today Scottish Labour's leadership put that transphobic policy into its manifesto for May's election anyway.

Thinking of everyone in Hungary who kept opposition going through all the shit and everyone who didn't get to see today.

It's time to start the series that will cause me some formatting difficulties

I didn't urgently *need* to know about looksmaxxing but learning about it from the angle of @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social totally ensured I had a great time while I did podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

feels inappropriate to start up a game of civ right now but it's not like i'm going to bed is it

That reminds me, I want to set up a knit club that runs at basically parkrun times for all the crafters that a post-office hours hang doesn't work.

The deleterious effects of not having a hobby are becoming a defining point in this cultural moment—and who is poised to help? That’s right: the autistics. Job fair day where we all set up tables explaining our deep dives and give people a hand out, a path back to society.
