Avery merry spoonsmas.

Similarly, the leftists getting James O'Brien's "How To Be Right" or equivalent. Believe it or not, this is an earnest effort to know and validate you.

Reckon I'd be perfectly happy living in a traveloge. Calm, functional, unlimited tea bags.

If you've never seen this, strap in and get ready to be surprisingly emotional ...

Before I leave for Christmas - what could I have forgotten?

Following an anxious couple of months, all me kecks are too big - except one pair of jeans and my uniform trousers, which are still too small. Guess I'm going to Christmas pretending the baggy-cord-grunge look is on purpose.

🎵I could not cope with Christmas every day When the kids start whinging, and you're pissed before midday-yy wo-oh-oah I could not cope with Christmas ever da-yyy I'm hell-lll, it's perpe-e-e-tual Christmas🎵

Coming back for his sixth(!) Advent Calendar we had @twoht.bsky.social alongside the other half of the Football Kickback podcast @samwhyte.bsky.social (a third time for her!). This year they opened up doors 12 and 13 to talk about what 2026 holds for Thomas Frank and Jack Grealish.

Live, Laugh, Lore

8.38am. I have been searching for the vape I keep round my neck at all times, because without it I will surely perish, for forty minutes.

Help me decide on my Christmas nails: holographic opaque top coat, blue glitter top coat, blue tips, or turquoise tips?

Hey everyone, I hate asking especially rn so close to Christmas, but I've been off my meds for 4 days now with little hope of getting them before Christmas. Any assistance with getting something to help me sleep would be really, really appreciated 🥺🙏 Paypal.me/ogsophiegee

Gifts for those of the Utilitarian faith

That possibly apocryphal line from Stephen King: "I've always wanted to write" "If you wanted to, you would" Fuck you, man.

I guess it's in the realms of fantasy, but imagine if this turned out to be very illegal and subject to an epic compensation scheme.

Met a Mackem dad "n" lad on the train yesterday and I GUSHED about Sunderland's success* *having apologised for assuming they were Newcastle fans because that's where they got on.

What do we reckon as token gifts for three tween boys? Giant Toblerones?

Love how delivery drivers don't get enough time or money to make sure parcels get delivered, and we can't give them enough time or money because the market says no.

He looks like an old school Mancunian who never got over the Hacienda closing.

This has always been the only response that's needed.

Lovely Betsy dog has sadly passed away. Here she is having a good old howl with Mr. S.

Having dyspraxia feels like being a wasp in the car.

Hate to brag, but someone told me I was serving cunt this evening 💅

Yeah, well, we all let ourselves go at Christmas.

We're going for cocktails and to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" 💫💫 Cable knit jumper is the most festive thing I own.

It's crazy how sci-fi regarded ginger print recognition as some dystopian totem when it's actually the most convenient innovation in years.

The worry with Epstein stuff is that we find it easy to direct our hatred at an individual, but struggle when guilt is dispersed, murky, and uneven. An elite class comprising a complex network of nodes of power and super wealth with institutional immunity from consequence is too big to comprehend.

Blue Moon You saw me standing alone I gestured at my earbuds Pretended to be on the phone Blue Moon You tried to chat anyway I'm sure you're a very nice moon But I've had a really long day Blue Moon I'm sure it does get lonely But maybe a moon club or course? I don't think the answer is me

My root-canalled tooth is wobbly, but it's staying in my mouth for as long as humanly possible because it was incredibly expensive.

I thought I could maybe make brown packing paper look cute and minimalist. I was mistaken.

Nice try, wordle, but no word is configured like that.

Happiest of birthdays to my esteemed colleague. The gloriously chaotic, jogger-clad badass @kellywelles.bsky.social

yea i got havana syndrome. havana fat ass

I'm in on my own tonight, but I can't afford to get really high and watch stupid movies. That would've been an ideal way to break up for Christmas.

I hate that we have to rely on informal rules and whisper networks because it's so unusual for these predators to be held accountable.

This is so good

Low winter sun

You're mad because you expect a "software update" to make things work better. You will only be free when you understand this to be an illusion and accept the fact that software is suffering

always remember: 1. sending someone a text message is 1000x more meaningful than a social media post 2. a phone call is technically assault

CHRISTMAS PODCAST: www.sofpodcast.com/2025/12/soun... It's our 15th Advent Calendar! Join us as we open up all 24 doors and discuss the people and subjects behind them. We're joined by wonderful festive guests @claremcwrites.bsky.social @chrisnee.co.uk @twoht.bsky.social and @samwhyte.bsky.social

"I Wish It Could be Christmas Every Day" is a great premise for a psychological thriller.

Every time I see the name I assume it's the Bournemouth midfielder.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

I can't say I've achieved much this year, but I'm proud I kept going when I wanted to give up.

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Shouting "yes. ahaha. fuck off" as I send my last email of the year.

love starting a carol with "god rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing ye dismay", it's the equivalent of starting a phone call with "okay so it's all fine, DON'T freak out"

McDonald’s shouldn’t name a meal after a criminal like the Grinch. McDonald’s should name a meal after someone nice like Erika Kirk.

Today's the last day you can get a cold without it ruining Christmas. Concentrate, everyone.
