good album 👍 thanks to @heliolithic.bsky.social for being the only person to bring it up on here tidal.com/album/500553...

you can say it as many times as you like, lynn, i will just overule you. i’m not going to go find a link at the books companion page on the bloomsbury website.

https://gacha.o0o0.jp/gp/archives/38798 『顔転生』7月発売予定。人生って、どないなってんの "Face Reincarnation" is scheduled for release in July. What's going on with life? #ガチャポン #gachapon

the BBC here apparently reporting as fact that Emperor Jimmu, a direct descendant of the actual sun, founded Japan with the help of a three-legged crow one thousand years before the first actual evidence of an emperor

think the “why are you complaining about realistic details in a fantasy story when it also has [notable fantasy element] lmao” is the common online argument that most rattles me despite being directionally correct or whatever about bad faith right wing morons

Everything about the coverage of modern football is complerely arse-backwards to me, I actually find this one a little sickening haha

where‘s the jet fuel shortage at? where’s the fuck is the jet fuel shortage? eh string? where it at?

china bailing out the global economy after america’s latest war & no-one in the west anticipated it, has any clue why they did it nor an idea how long they are willing to do it for…..quite a good bit, sadly won’t stop bluesky’s coalition of excitable leftish PhD students & wonks addicted to bluffing

of course would be wrong for me to begrudge my favourite cafes their well deserved success but surely could be some kind of fast track queue for those who were here when they had next to no customers even on a weekend

rip garfield sobers your off-spin for the allstars side was annoyingly tricky to pick in the seminal flash game “stick cricket”

BELIEF IN THE FUTURE (1976)

langer to follow mccullum feels a bit mcclaren to capello, too much chasing the opposite of what the previous guy was all about

in 1945 jean-paul sartre and simone de beauvoir started the magazine “le temps modernes” for french intellectuals to discuss the sort of temperatures they’ve been experiencing recently

[intellectually honest biographer laying out all the gaps in their account in the preface] me: well i might as well not bother then, cheers 👍

a rhetorical device is a small round capsule that is placed under the tongue to allow for a relatively quick and painless death should the crowd be turned against you

attempted to fix something in the bathroom, in doing so i discovered three new issues and am now stressed about the state of the flat….it’s maura dykstra’s world baby

sorry if it feels like i’m giving you a tough time here, just trying to tease out the contradictions inherent to your position. it’s a compliment if anything….anyway shall i get another round….yeah no yeah i get it the buses can be a bit slow later on yeah…well i’ll get you next time!!!

don’t understand why there’s so much in the news about andy burnham being PM….his route to number 10 is totally absurd and we are indulging a bizarre and unserious fantasy of labour types, the equivalent of the ludicrously convoluted 2017-19 stop brexit schemes

old man next door beckoned me over to his phone and asked ‘have you seen this?’ And it was a picture of the peaky blinders

hearing that labour are renaming the scunthorpe plant under british steel the “this is actually entirely about academic jobs“ steelworks

“fifa should clamp down even more on political speech” is liquid lib dems

appreciate the upcoming wine bar near us dropping another horrible instagram poem to cheer me up

"The month of July," as if July belongs to everyone equally. Some of us are managing seasonal trauma anniversaries and can't perform bookish leisure on command.

didn’t ask, don’t care

another disappointing thing is there’s not even a wrong popular interpretation of the defeat that i can go after people for to soothe the pain

still, good news about the positive reviews for the oddysey

pretty sure an anti-motorist activist managed to get the most senior job developing car headlights and is increasing the brightness each year until eventually all cars eliminate each other in head-on collisions between temporarily blinded drivers

monkey’s paw of getting a manager who is now incredibly pro-active from the bench but at least half the time the choices are terrible

You just feel a moment of magic from one of the best players on the pitch could decide it, Messi or Djed Spence.

art is when something is about one single specific thing. the more parallel meaning you reject the more media literate you are.

equity punks

constantly sending F argentinian reffing conspiracy reels so she doesn’t have the heart to properly root against england

boring how much policing there is of how people engage with international football…….unless it’s me going after left podcasters and online personalities i find annoying in which case it is good actually

remains very funny that everyone hates him. even the sort of people you’d expect to like him…..nope, they hate him too

have become over-invested in our world cup run since the tuchel post-match interview vs norway, almost certainly a mistake. before my feeling was that us being pretty good in international football has become normalised whereas it felt like the emotional moment with this group had passed somewhat

please just knock down the ruins of the burned out building & re-open princes street. the facade is not a vital piece of victorian architecture if all references to it are as “former debenhams”. though this is maybe because its origin as the scottish conservative party gentleman's club sounds worse.

applicants should be aware that our Labyrinth Maintenance Operative role is demanding and requires * Good navigation abilities * Well-developed organisation and prioritisation skills * Resilience when encountering the ungodly horrors that lurk in the gloom

france creating the same xG as capo verde did when playing for a 0-0 against spain….funny

soviet citizens went through a lot of unnecessary effort creating samizdat copies of banned books when they could have just bought them on amazon or in any major high street retailer…..guess it was more about the chance to meet new people and feeling a sense of community

need to be the victim of a misfortune small enough to only mildly impact my life but large enough that i can semi-reasonably blame it for all recent mistakes of my own making

negative polarisation from the bazball era where online cricket fans now insist on players acting like they are attending a loved ones funeral at all times during games lest any second of enjoyment be expressed while england are losing

meanwhile the roundheads are flying at 112-0

sorry? are you okay? why have you described tomorrow’s game as a garden of forking paths & you hope it doesn’t go to the lottery in babylon of a penalty shoot out, leaving one sides world cup dreams in the circular ruins while the others celebrations could be heard on tlön, uqbar and orbis tertius?

by latching onto any context to repost already popular tweets by other people and only wading into recurring discourse topics where the battle lines have been well established and are easily repeatable you can go years without expressing an original thought online

nigel farage is wrong, real britain is not defined by hate but instead [something well-meaning but incredibly light-weight and impossible to coherently define] - every guardian article

amazing how the entire economy these days is just [company that has recently annoyed me]

my understanding is that the england side will come out collectively to state that to give the side the best chance of advancing to the final they are going to need all the english leftists torturously affecting a “proper football man tm” persona for the world cup to please pack it in immediately
