There are miracles everywhere for those with eyes to see them

Me for the rest of the tournament

If we want the rewards of it coming home, we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of watching England

would v much be interested in filling my East London sports pub (Stratford) with women/nb/queer people for the next few World Cup games if anyone would be interested in our currently quite free table ressies (fiver per four seats, goes to CALM charity)

LRT: In situations where lots of different groups are wearing lots of different high-vis (when setting up a music festival, for example) you learn that true power rests with the walkie-talkie/hi vis combo. You don't want to fuck with those people I tell you what.

This is so awesome.

This Widdecombe murder suspect's forum posts are going to online soon and it's going to be [DildoHitler_420] brb am going to drive to Dorset and murder Anne Widdecombe [Roderick_Sp0de] lol bet

What a terrible, wonderful excuse to watch Possession (1981) and ponder on how craft may develop and mature as the craftsman does.

Manchester is filled with smoke from the wildfires up on the tops.

I enjoyed spending an hour or so with these sweet boys doing an unhinged GDQ speedrun of Balatro www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Go...

Have you tested your smoke alarm lately? We recommend testing them once a week and you should have one installed per floor of your home.

I always liked Ben Evans. this is an especially good example of what a good version of Zitron's analysis would look like: axes of variation, how they could play out, this or that is more likely. as opposed to "I'm certain what will happen next despite having been wrong every day for three years"

binface vs farage vs lawrence fox is like el classico for “different ways your mate’s dad could end up taking the divorce”

I feel faintly robbed that my group chat's speciality is food labelling regulations (EU/UK) but I truly believe that one day our time will come.

Gareth Roberts pointing out that Binface isn't funny is a bit like the agent at the end of the joke saying "Well that's all fine and dandy but I don't think The Aristocrats is a actually a very accurate name for your act."

Oh Binface not funny, you say? OH I HADN'T FOUGHT O'DAT!

The official arbiters of comedy have spoken

“A History of Rock Music in 500 songs. Episode 414: ‘Long Face’ by The Vampire Lestat. Before we begin, this episode contains mentions of exsanguination, homophobia, addiction, torture, and the end of all human life. … It’s hard to separate truth from myth when it comes to Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett…”

Clacton's a really nice part of the world and this all makes me quite sad.

I've said before (but perhaps not On Here) that one of the best things about being an episode 1 follower of this show has been seeing both the artist and the art develop over the years.

Given up watching The Pitt, 5 episodes in and Quatermass hasn't even shown up yet.

Ok I figured out who needs to hear this

Long series of tweets about the intricacies of by-election law, parliamentary standards investigations and the geo-politics of east Essex written and deleted - but what I will say is that I think maybe Farage has huffed a few too many of his own farts, lads.

“I will make a statement about my future in public life at 2pm."

“I will make a statement on my future in public life at 2pm.”

In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW

Countries aren't real. But hubris? Oh, hubris is real.

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

Yeah same actually

I think 50 years on this planet being unaware that FIFA and UEFA are two different things is a pretty good innings tbh. Well done me!

Altitude my arse

Unfortunately all criticism of the Tank Museum is moot because these slippers, respectfully, are amazing. tankmuseumshop.org/collections/...

hard to see how the Tank Museum could have gotten such a reputation, now to take a big swig of coffee and look at their website tankmuseumshop.org/collections/...

bargain_hunt_all.xls Team results by expert, fair location and auction house, for every episode I watched during lockdown (which was all of them available on iPlayer). I would only watch the auction bit, and get through three eps each lunchtime. Looking back I'm not sure I was coping that well.

Thinking about running something called "Spreadsheets I Made in Lockdown" where we all present our extremely niche lockdown obsession data projects. Mine? Watched all 24 series of Grand Designs, geolocated the houses, categorised and rated them, then built a website I never published.

this took way too long

My 16 year old: I have finished my GCSEs and will now enter Man's estate, putting childish things behind me and knuckling down to a life of diligence, excellence and commerce. Also my 16 year old:

It's sad to see Roisin Murphy disappearing over the brainworms event horizon. If only there were a way to bring it back (back back).

oh lawd

This was a solved problem 25 years ago! Put some goggles on your biggest titted friend and take a black and white photo of her in a construction site for gods sake. When did everybody become helpless

that's a pretty fucked up thing to say my guy
