I will say Impact has been a show with very little wrestling, made up mostly of entrances, promos, video packages, and hype. It is the dream show of the kind of fan that Tweets "TNA is on the verge of being number 2". Sadly for TNA, those people just tweet that and never watch it.

#72: Shag a massive apple

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.

Well at least Obama is no longer the most embarrassing Nobel Peace Prize winner www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

And yet Keir Starmer was falling over himself to condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, who hardly anyone in the UK but the most terminally online far right trolls knows anything about. This tells you everything you need to know about Keir Starmer.

One time my dad's friend came over when I was like 11 and I was in the living room just reading a Dilbert anthology cover to cover, and my dad's friend was like "Why are you reading every strip in that Dilbert anthology? You're not laughing at all" and it was like he lifted a curse off me

greatest steam update of all time, because of one unnecessary detail

…is…is it that easy?

The trajectory of NXT UK press pass gang -> completely broken brain.

behold the most cursed ad I have ever been served, online

come and say that in nottingham you cunt. 300 professional robin hoods will hang you by the neck from robin hood tower, in robin hood square, on robin hood road and we'll all enjoy watching it.

love to be at the stage over the roman empire where the guy in charge owns a business that sets fire to your house and then charges you to put it out

Watching the NEVER title match at Wrestle Kingdom

Bearing in mind I'm not that good at Slay the Spire, am especially iffy with the Defect, and usually chicken out of attempting to beat the Heart, this may well be my proudest ever gaming achievement.

now, it might seem odd that political commentators who advocated for the uk to leave the eu because of their belief in “the nation state” to be supportive of america’s annexation of venezuela, but what you have to remember is that those people didn’t actually think that, they were lying for money

The Venezuelan government has been saying for decades it’s the victim of American aggression and sabotage because the US wants to steal its natural resources, so it’s clarifying that the US is now bombing the country while the President and senior officials say they are going to steal it’s resources

they got the soft left on here criticising US foreign policy now. that's how you know they fucked up

when they first told me they were looking to combine the judge, jury and executioner responsibilities i was anxious about the huge increase in workload but the key really is to plan out and be utterly ruthless with demands on your time. switching between the different hats makes the day fly by too.

Fun fact, while in the Lord Of The Rings movies frodo looked like this, in the books he actually looks like this!

every week for a decade in the british right wing press there's a puff piece like "palace release new photos of charming Prince George" and every time the photos are just this

That first line is how you know it's spam

I have resolved to read one of these books in each quarter of 2026. I am posting this so that I can be held accountable by others. Messages such as "you finished Ulysses yet you TWAT", delivered on 30th September, will go some way towards ensuring this.

Game decided by a single goal, pitch an absolute swamp, and the home team manager was receiving darts updates in semaphore from his missus in the stands during the match. Proper, proper football.

God, imagine writing overly long chapters, could never be me

My clumsy armchair sociology is that lockdown and the associated networks of conspiracy theories and radicalising groups absolutely fucked what's left of the social contract - when people saw doing the bare minimum to protect others in a pandemic as an attack on their person, then you can hardly...

Thought that Scott Arfield had put Peter Lovenkrands’ dug in his Christmas Drink. @oldfirmfacts.bsky.social

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

Merry British Christmas, where we celebrate the baby Jesus, who died for our right to sing 'f*ggot' in a song and also say the name of the dog in Dambusters

*Communist Joe Fagin voice* that's lenin alright

me: you boy what day is it today? boy: nonces shout out of the window day. me: oof you’ve absolutely done me there.

I'm bored so here once again is the greatest Christmas title sequence in TV history

If you haven’t been following this thread, start from the beginning today.

It's Christmas morning, so naturally I'm spending it digging out our Ken's book to offer some context to @puropodcast.bsky.social on the Christmas Disco Ladder Match.

NEW EPISODE! It's a Christmas miracle (a SECOND Puro Pourri Podcast festive special actually coming out on time). No Scrubs returns with the infamous World of Sport Christmas Disco Ladder Match from 1987 🌲 Glad tidings and so on. open.spotify.com/episode/79my...

Ho Ho Ho! Discworld Order Episode 19 on the Hogfather is out NOW as a Christmas treat. Dr Jane Carroll, an associate professor in Children's literature, joins Mark to discuss Pratchett's Christmas novel. We talk about Dickens, latin puns, bickering & where this ranks among the Death books

Had a nightmare last night that I had issued a blanket invitation to any pro wrestler to come round for Christmas and the first to arrive was Raven. Quite possibly the last grappler you would want as an unexpected house guest.

Calling @puropodcast.bsky.social!!

MCU in its 2004 RAW era, desperately dragging out Steve Austin at every turn to try and remind people of the period they liked.
