This morning I watched from here a helicopter skirting like a damaged insect the Empire State Building, that jumbo size dentist’s drill… —Norman MacCaig, “Hotel Room, 12th Floor” from THE POEMS OF NORMAN MacCAIG (Birlinn, 2009) #FourthofJuly #America250 #poetry birlinn.co.uk/product/the-...

Eva Marie Saint is 102 today

Own goals should count for the team who accidentally scored it

boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

This has obviously come up a lot but it hits my wheelhouse with such precision I can't help but mention it www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

there's still 10 minutes

FUCKING AMAZING

It took 30 minutes of actual game time for Cape Verde to equalise: they can do it again

The one thing I notice every time I watch football is that football is clearly a physical game but the extent to which you are allowed to be physical is impossible to determine, like trying to guess the next digit of pi

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

Messi, more like Hissi because I'm hissing at the score

hydration break

Let's go Cape Verde!!

Was that a panenka from Salah?

Instead of penalties, they should remove one player every two minutes AND add one ball every five minutes until someone scores

Excited to announce that me and @stefmowords.bsky.social are back at the PBH Free Fringe again. We're doing a new show, a sequel of sorts to our previous show, called INCUBUS SUCCUBUS VENGABUS and will be in Banshee Labyrinth Banqueting Hall on August 12th at 8.15pm. See you there?!

Proud to announce I've sold the rights to Refill The Nor Loch and that I plan to direct my first feature film "Nor Loch: Origins" next year

Bastidas is depicting what I wish for both of them: to be consumed by a golem of hair and nails brought to rudimentary sentience by light refracting through discarded lenses

I imagine what we're looking at is more leaving things on a side table bc you don't want to get up from the sofa right away. admittedly that doesn't exactly scream "busy woman" so she's lying too. but it's basically fine

Ok, sorry this is gross. What's the point of being so personally put together if it means your flat looks like a drag show's bin cupboard with bits of wigs and nails everywhere

I once help clean a vicarage after the vicar had left, and discovered he’d been storing (hoarding?) his used ear wax cotton buds on a shelf in his study. 🤢🤮🥴

extremely funny to imagine her getting home, ripping her contacts out of her eyes and dropping them on the kitchen floor. but she's clearly not doing that, so I think prob he's lying about everything

Maybe Martin could collect the little hairballs blowing around like tumbleweed and stick them on his jealous bald head. Same with his beard hairs in the sink. Everybody's happy and all their problems – of which the baldness is perhaps the biggest – will be solved

Between "she's gorgeous, not at all like a grotesque witch, I just wish she didn't SHED HER SKIN LIKE A SNAKE" and "he likes me to look beautiful but doesn't appreciate the sacrifice because he's DISGUSTINGLY IRREVERSIBLY BALD", I don't think these two should be together, or with anyone, really.

I am reminded I used to live above some noisy guys who ran a shop called "Miss Elegant" and when they finally moved out the empty flat was covered in discarded human hair

They're disgusting, and they should split up.

Let 👏 women 👏 be 👏 gross 👏

It is very funny how both of them keep describing her leaving traces like it's a David Cronenberg movie.

odd one this because one of them is lying & i can’t tell which! if she’s knackered and occasionally pops her lenses on the side yes fine we’ve all done it, if she’s truly leaving little piles of nails and hair like offerings to the house sprites around the place then she’s being mental

I bet he fancied her for being a baddie and now judges her for the maintenance involved. A man will want a 10/10, but only until they have got her. Then it’s “who are you dressing for?”

weirdly specific thing to insist you don't do

He mentions twice that she should put this stuff in the toilet. This to me is the bigger issue. The toilet is not a bin, he is building a sewer homunculus fat berg out of pieces of himself

BY LEAVING STUFF AROUND HER HOUSE DEBBIE IS INVITING PSYCHIC ASSAULT BY WITCHES. I CAN ONLY ASSUME SHE HERSELF IS A WITCH OF THE LEFT HAND PATH, LURING BLACK MAGIC PRACTITIONERS INTO TRYING TO HEX HER FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF COUNTER CURSING THEM. SHE IS A CAT TOYING WITH MICE. MARTIN SHOULD BEWARE

Slam dunk this one: Dump her boy!

I haven't read this yet but I know I am going to be biased as once, when I was in my second office job, I was tasked to clear the desk of the old finance manager who retired and it became very apparent he'd been clipping his nails into his desk drawer for the 30 years he had been there

Dump him, girl www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
