Livramento out for approx. eight weeks. A loss for #NUFC, and he’ll miss remaining England camps this year. And all because of a needless challenge from a player who was never going to be able to compete for a header. So shit.

Kevin McCloud voice: "The Oxford crew is overbudget, and the cox has got his girlfriend pregnant - can they make it to the finish line without the whole project sinking?"

Moderately proud of this one; even if the fringe/forehead needs work 🙂‍↕️

Good piece on Union Saint-Gilloise rise to the top of Belgian football, how they got there, and an owner who's views on football probably align (at least broadly if not wholly) with an awful lot of fans.

That they’re being like this just over a year into their stint in government is both depressing and worrying. Is this what the next few years will be like? Another government just shambling along to the next general election?

Admit to being unsure about Alien: Earth when it was announced - and I'm still of the mind that every new instalment in the franchise diminishes it a little bit more in one sense or another - but that said I did enjoy it as a series, albeit largely because of the first two or three episodes.

When you put the Radio 1 Breakfast Show on and it’s not Greg James.

Eight minutes injury time off the back of this. Winner scored in 96th minute. Sigh.

Saliba not blocking Pope there? #NUFC

Marco Silva is going to go mad when that is given as a penalty against Fulham next week.

So Saliba’s shitty little challenge for a header he was never going to make has seen an opposing player stretchered off - but we still so rarely see a card for that kind of thing.

Congratulations to my large adult son on scoring another goal.

1998 (through to approx. 2004ish) was very much that period of my life where I’d buy an album based off of one song, and Intergalactic was one such song. #TOTP

Eagle Eye Cherry must be the closest anyone has come to dethroning Chesney Hawkes? #TOTP

Seeing this chart rundown makes you realise how many bangers this episode of #TOTP didn’t include.

I don’t want to say there’s a problem with the Facebook algorithm, but one of it’s suggested posts for me just now was for an account I don’t follow, ostensibly based in Dallas, Texas, from a week ago, telling me that Jimmy Kimmel’s career is definitely over.

Kids today will never understand B*Witched. #TOTP

The only Lighthouse Family I’m interested in #TOTP

I do not remember Tina Arena very well. I remember she was a thing around this time, but just don’t remember any of her songs. But then I would have been 14-years-old and getting heavily into Green Day and alike, so probably not the target market. #TOTP

As openings to #TOTP go I find this one particularly nostalgic. For better or worse.

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

I should probably play Hades first.

I cannot accurately articulate how much I love this show, how perfect I think it is, or how much it means to me as someone who's frequently felt lost or 'unseen' but then I stick this on and maybe I'm not quite so much of an island after all. It's odd to feel that way about a TV show, but I do.

Fond memories of watching Bird try and explain leg spin to two old ladies in the breakfast room at a Nottingham B&B in 1998, complete with physical actions - a spectacle which almost surpassed Atherton's battle with Alan Donald during that Test. One of the game's characters no doubt.

Refusing to take responsibility for my own catastrophic misjudgements and hugely selfish decisions over a course of decades.

It might be helpful if media coverage of The Orange Turd regularly mentioned that he is a pathological bullshitter with hundreds and maybe thousands of demonstrably provable lies under his belt

Yep; very hearing Newsbeat on Radio 1, a station aimed at the younger demographic, leading with this as well - especially the way news bulletins tread this very 'proper' line, rather than just coming out and saying 'you may have heard that Trump is spouting absolute shit again, don't listen to him'

What's the matter babe you've barely touched your event horizon ribs

As we approach that time of year, it’s important not to confuse a festive mold with festive mould.

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

#NUFC squandered two golden opportunities in the first half - Gordon not even getting a shin on his chance was poor really - and now look like they’ll succumb to a 1-2 punch from Rashford (two good finishes mind). Another game where some good work will be undone by lack of quality in front of goal.

Not overly surprised he’s started up front, but Gordon just doesn’t have a strikers instincts.

Feeling that little tingle in the back of my neck, that weird feeling in my stomach. HWTL. #NUFC

It is wild that Charlie Kirk of all things is becoming *the* litmus test. Even just talking about the event publicly without a sufficient supply of sackcloth and ashes is cast as "promoting political violence." I haven't seen this kind of mandatory performance of allegiance and piety since 9/11.

Does Charles have a piece of pocket meat, or cheese in his jacket? All signs point to yes.

Wife and I have been waiting for System of a Down to tour for a long time. It was one of those 'we're 100% going next time' things. Right up until the point where we saw the ticket prices for next summer's show as Tottenham Stadium. Ouch.

When it comes to social/societal issues, two of the most insightful/thoughtful people I've found to follow on here are Musa, and @athenakugblenu.bsky.social

This also raises the question of why an Axel Foley x Robocop team up was never greenlit. At the very least they would have prevented Bill Clinton from butchering Steve Yzerman's name.

I'm too old and time poor for a lot of the modern punishcore games, but anyone lamenting the difficulty of Silksong clearly never played The Lion King, or Aladdin on the Mega Drive. Ostensibly children's games, they took no prisoners and did not care about your feelings. No hose drinking required.

Ben Folds and Jeremy Irons should get together and start a dry cleaning business. They could call it Ben and Jerry's.

It’s a bit damp.
