zohran! legend!

guys living in south london, never been to new york: “god i hope zohran mamdani wins” i am guys

trying “Fortnite” for the Simpsons crossover and have to say the game keeps massively getting in the way of me just wandering about Springfield landmarks

if the faithful win this series, i think it’s been the best UK series of traitors. so many times they’ve had no right to win from the position they got themselves in but the two who might do it have played a blinder if they pull it off (hopefully not too spoilery!)

i actually think a better punishment than stripping someone of their titles is jail

Reports that the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan have executed over 2,000 unarmed civilians are harrowing. They are crimes against humanity. This government must stop all arms sales to the UAE, especially since evidence shows the RSF is using British military equipment on battlefields in Sudan.

the labour party do not know how to counter a threat from their left that they can’t suspend or deselect

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

wow

in zohran’s jon stewart interview he says he’s been using the ed koch quote in interviews "if you agree with me on 9 out of 12 issues, vote for me. if you agree with me on 12 out of 12 issues, see a psychiatrist." and some kid shouted at him “12 out of 12 baby! take me away!”

this is a genuine disgrace imv www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...

green success under polanski seems driven by fact left-liberals have been told they should be somewhere between embarrassed & ashamed to think what they think on wealth tax, gender, palestine & immigration by everybody else but polanski isn’t. good strat at this stage clearly!

if you like bullets flying everywhere and ricocheting off walls and big numbers coming out of enemies (i do), don’t sleep on ball x pit

all the promoted teams above relegation zone, Sunderland smashing it. all the relegated teams currently stinking up the championship. maybe the gap between the championship and prem isn’t that big, we were just shite

cifuentes should just sack this lot off and play the kids

mr starmer, maybe i misjudged you

even if it hadn’t been particularly interesting, if your job is talk about politics for the BBC you should find it interesting

and did those feet, in ancient times

feel like when people talk about british national identity/culture, they should talk more about how we must be close to best in the world at nerdy slash dad shit. grand theft auto, warhammer, crazy % of the F1 teams. it’s a nation of anoraks!

dangerous left wing dissident Lucy Powell’s victory is sending shockwaves through the centrist establishment i hear

this must be what it was like when a nintendo console got a sonic game for the first time. except halo’s good

watching totp1998 on bbc four at the moment and it’s like it’s a pro evo version where they couldn’t get the rights to the real pop music

new lily allen good!

sorry lads i don’t care about what renovations are done to the White House at all

This is almost exactly the original “this is the one thing we didn’t want to happen” scenario

err how the fuck does this even happen www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

this conversation comes up with my old school friends at least once every meet up. “phones are too big nowadays” is slept on as pub chat

update: there is now a music video from @thecultraspod.bsky.social

there is no result that could have happened which would have convinced john rentoul of anything different to this. it is wrong to think of him as an analyst, he’s an ideologue

does anybody use a particularly good news aggregator app

did the woke football flag stuff make it here? if so, poor reflection of this website imv

greens on 15% with yougov. it’s real! it’ll go higher!

this is really excellent www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Politics is an even worse spectacle when they all start going off about a subject you actually know something about. Makes you wonder how clueless they must be about all the other stuff they pontificate about.

to be serious, the government should use this opportunity as an out, climb down from the situation they escalated along with the rest of the political establishment (farage, badenoch, davey and others) and demonstrate that fan safety is the priority here rather than politics

tbf to Keir Starmer, Ed Davey, Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, almost the entire UK press and political establishment, it was completely impossible to foresee that it might ever end up embarrassing to have thrown your weight behind a fanbase with a history of disorder

i see

did the ceasefire pass or fail the test when the firing didn’t cease

why doesn’t big john, the largest bosh man, simply eat the other ones

i am increasingly a bit obsessed with idea of getting everybody out the house, off their phone and with other people. what policies do people think would do that? i really like idea of raising alcohol duty for shops and cutting it in pubs and obvs community right to buy is good

the barney ronay article about maccabi tel aviv is like 60% having a go at zack polanski for doing a video where he recites a benjamin zephaniah poem. an interesting choice of focus.

The UK Football Policing Unit have issued a pretty damning statement about the Starmer government’s sudden efforts to insert itself into policing football matches

would think it a reasonable position to say “i don’t think fans should be banned” if there was acknowledgment of the reputation and record of maccabi tel aviv fans. i can see case for being cautious about overreacting to high risk fixtures. as it is, i feel like i am going insane

No further questions. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

big problem with spotify’s “this is the specials” playlist is it combines music from an all timer band with a different much worse band

don’t necessarily disagree but do wonder how many modern politicians are a product of an intellectual tradition rather than, at best, a vessel for one (often adopted/coopted for tactical reasons)?

polanski is doing well because the strategy of everybody to his right has been hippy punching for what feels like forever and there are now enough hippies who don’t like being punched to show up in polling

interesting points on both sides youtu.be/BYQ25us7gno?...
