[vaguely skims the news] congrats to keir starmer on his new role as ukrainian defense minister

the labour party genuinely thinks it can stick a new face over a completely unchanged policy agenda and people will lap it up. it's baffling

I am in fact a luddite clinging to horses and have been quoted as such in the guardian

the time tested strat of getting one goal and then sitting on it, great stuff

[incredibly long sigh] so what are people using instead of songkick these days

500 days of summer

neil coyle?!

what do you mean plex is down it's in my house

what a treat, the return of "ed is a pinko commie traitor who can't be allowed to make funding decisions", it's 2015 again

england stop faking fouls challenge

"he's manufactured that but I don't care" see this is everything I hate about this sport

real "I can control any kind of gem with any kind of snake" hours

programmers these days think K&R C is three ways to measure temperature

I'm overheating to such an extent that I am only rendering at PS2-level fidelity

crossing out the "C" on my thermometer in writing in "F"

hosepipe bans are back!
