It won't fix anything right away but Trump just dropping dead would make things a little more bearable and also be quite a fun day online so the sooner the better

Was gonna go earphone free on the train but someone is typing with keyboard sounds so that's out the fucking window

Coming to Sundance! Paralyzed by Hope - The Maria Bamford Story.

At some point in life most of us have had to start over. It takes courage and hope to begin again. For refugees, this reality is even more profound. Give the gift of a donation this Christmas and help someone start again in safety. Our e-gifts can be found here ow.ly/tKNV50XA80I

"My years of documented antisemitism don't count".

His opportunism is bad enough. But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school. Things he has NEVER apologised for.

Is Nancy a bad manager? No. I suspect he’s a stubborn one who has been sold a false bill of goods by an inept board. That doesn’t excuse a failure to adapt his tactics to one that suited the players under O’Neill, however. Regardless of tactics, too many players are just doing the basics miserably.

Football might not be for me tbh

That guy is amazing for disarming a gunman while unarmed, I'd have been hiding under a car

Australian news reporting that the hero bystander here is named Ahmed al Ahmed. Muslim, father of two.

Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong. Wherever in the world it happens. You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.

Here’s a comprehensive list of appropriate responses upon hearing that a man murdered worshippers at a synagogue: 1- this is fucked up, fuck that guy, fuck antisemitism, solidarity with the victims 2- see above

Uma Thurman seeing all this Ethan Hawke social media content and rolling her eyes

Rochelle was singing a Christmas song to Ellis with a gruff voice and I called her 'Mom Waits' cos I'm fuckin hilarious

A client bought me this record and it kinda rules:

Israel is still throttling the aid supply to Gaza. And Britain is still supplying Israel with arms and maintaining normal diplomatic relations. The genocide continues, as does British complicity. 26 months and counting. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Folks! We did it! The Onion has 60,000 subscribers! We're that much closer to reaching our goal of beating The Washington Post's print circulation by the end of next year. (They were last reported at 97k, but it's probably lower now.) Thank you all. Democracy died in darkness but we're still here.

Football is shite, okay?

Thom Yorke and his wee belly

Another day, another lorry with a massive poppy on the grill

Companies with more money than Heaven shaving off a few pennies using the worst technology. Fuck these people and entities into the cold, dead earth they'll leave for us:

Back in the 90s it was widely accepted that this man was a total & utter fucking idiot with actual shit for brains who was on TV as a sort of failed jester that everyone could hold in contempt together, so christ knows how we've ended up in the position where we're listening to the pricks opinions.

Fuck all happening on Mastodon, eh?

I genuinely think it might be more than 2 years before I can even book a driving test.

It's actually At The River by Groove Armada

Bought Violator by Depeche Mode on CD in 2025

I hate this place:

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too: "There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done." All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

"Tormented souls of hell reaching up to claim earth" sure is a stylistic choice

they hate music, they hate art, they hate artists, they hate pop, they hate the video games they play, they hate the movies they watch, like, they're just all the worst fucking people you've ever met, none of them believe in anything

With all the Spotify discourse, it made me think of our EP which isn’t on streaming; I have no idea if there are any physical copies of this left but have a look and a listen, why not? Not too late for this to become a contender for yr EOTY list 🤪 jutlandsongs.bandcamp.com/album/autumn...
