god i can't believe we have to go that mental again on sunday. then again if we win the CL final. then again at the parade

No other London club could ever dream of scenes like last night! The magnitude of the Arsenal faithful is unmatched. Tens of thousands at 12am, are you mad?! WE'RE FUCKING MASSIVE! 🔴⚪ (🎥 gallileodamascus - Insta)

Eze hahahahahaha

really hungover so can't express this well but something about being at the emirates last night with everyone celebrating just felt like the complete antithesis of everything the right has tried to imagine london is. people want to get along, they just need a reason to be happy and have purpose

Not quite now but earlier. He’s no doubt refilling numerous bottles with his tears ❤️

Show me that bottle cunt now. #bottlecunt

Yeah just imagine being subjected to intrusive checks every time you want to do something

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

also, possibly, in a system that made no attempt to explain to anyone that they might have responsibilities towards anyone else - even people they didn't like or know!

you know, I sometimes wonder whether there may have been some long-term downsides to a political economy that loaded housing costs and student debt onto young people in the expectation that growth would probably come back one day yeah

Sky were having a go at Arsenal fans for not staying for the lap of appreciation?! Seriously, fuck off. First, there were plenty of fans still there. Second, if some had to leave, why might that have been? Is it because the match was moved (at late notice) to Monday at 8pm against fans’ wishes?!

A good laugh seeing politicians try to square how pro-Palestine marches are inherently evil without any real explanation or evidence with how clearly racist and angry the Tommy Robinson marches are with abundant Islamophobia on display. Doesn’t even have to make sense if you hate the right people!

This is how you legitimise and manufacture consent and legitimacy for the far-right. It is also how you inevitably create space for credulity-straining pieces shortly after initiation of mass-deportation programmes in which regular voters express shock at the extent and severity of said programme.

Watched Raging Bull again and it was actually just an incredibly unpleasant and uncomfortable experience. Just relentless misery and anger and misogyny and flawed people hurting each other. And for some reason still 10/10 anyway

A lot of people don’t know what I mean by sea. I’m talking about sea like the sea.

One of my creeping hunches about the Reform UK council takeover is that it will (partially) play out like a slow-moving, very British Jan. 6th: A bunch of internet-addled loons overrunning the halls of power and then fizzling out when they can't just order a manager to flick the big POLITICS switch.

Great timing for this to be announced the same day as a Bernardo Silva interview in which he bemoans referees being inconsistent when calling fouls for holding.

Open Call for Podcast Producers- Entry to Mid Level. I have closed my books for new work but I’m still getting a lot of inquiries. I’d like to build a network of talented producers that I can recommend for work that I can’t take on. If you’d like to be included in that list send me a DM.

Wes Streeting has resigned to take the job he was born to do…regional sales manager for Moss Bros

You couldn’t get a more “Starmer” type appointment than Wes Streeting. And if it wasn’t for the fact that Reform are the ones waiting to take over, I’d really enjoy seeing just how much being PM will tear his reputation to pieces, probably much worse than it’s even done to Starmer

Finally got a studio and producer for my new podcast - will be looking for guests to start recording around June. If you’d like to feature please get in touch, I guess instagram DM is easiest: www.instagram.com/tangiblevibe...

my body is so efficient I wake up every morning at 5am needing to gulp a pint of water but also needing a piss

Evergreen headline.

I think you should make a tote bag with that on it, and send it with your next book ( you are writing another book, right?)

Using the word ‘centrist’ as a political attack seems to be used by people on the left which is just as lazy as the right using woke

Wait. What? It’s an insult?

Centrist Dad is such a weird attempt at an "insult." Being a dad is not only bloody hard (and very rewarding) work but its a real lesson in everything from the functioning of the NHS to the state school and FE sectors to job opps for you ppl OH and its also a lesson in the very meaning of life.

No, imagine my shock

Some easy Starmer numbers here for anyone that can be arsed

You know this opens the door to an incredible amount of grim shit. They know this opens the door to an incredible amount of grim shit. They're rolling the pitch for a Reform government, and they wont just be against people that don't like genocide.

This is also why the ‘ungovernable’ line is self-serving swill. We had multiple chances over the past decade to take a different path. Instead, the vipers and entitled slobs the ‘natural’ centrist leader class destroyed any alternative, fucked it themselves, and now conclude it simply can’t be done.

obviously I hate Reform and the Tories because they're the natural enemy of everything I believe in, but I *despise* the Labour right because they have sabotaged any possibility of an alternative from within, and salted the earth behind them, out of sheer petty vindictiveness

of course all the chaos is funny and I'm glad that Keir Starmer, a bad person, is having a bad time. but jfc what a waste of two years, what a waste of a majority, what a waste of a once in a generation window to improve things. and now it's just 24/7 infighting, briefing, backstabbing. pathetic

Love the transformation! 😊

Wes Streeting is already facing growing calls to stand down as PM

Keir Starmer has resigned, that's right, resigned himself to the fact there's a long three years ahead of being prime minister

Starmer seems trapped in a Faustian tragedy where he genuinely doesn’t seem to be able to do anything of the things he actually seemingly enjoys. He’s technically the most powerful man in the UK and it feels like it’s made him more of a laughing stock than anyone could ever try to be

Me in the home end when the Trossard goal went in

Getting this guy to lecture Polanski on antisemitism is, frankly, rancid.

It’s astounding how much of European history has entailed people with reactionary, right-wing politics using Jewish people as footballs, one way or another, toward selfish, cynical ends, in ways that inevitably endanger Jewish people themselves. This latest cycle of barrel-scraping is despicable.

quite a bleak vibe underneath the surface here

Every Reform councillor who was elected this week is going to go into their first day of work thinking that 80% of their borough's budget goes on giving immigrants pronouns and they're all going to find that every single department is underfunded and slightly reducing the budget will kill people
