The over-65s really are a miserable bunch.

This is absolutely superb

Sam Neil has so many great performances that it feels almost reductive to focus on one scene. Except it's one of the most iconic scenes in movie history and all of it, The groundbreaking CGI, the sweeping John Williams score *doesn't* work without the authentic joy and wonder of Neill's performance

Pretty classy message by the Norwegian Embassy. #WorldCup

This is, objectively, nuts

You think you know a channel.

One of life’s eternal truths

🎶it says nothing to me about my life🎶

Once again on my hobby horse - vox pops, the photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of qualitative insight, are an abomination and anyone who uses them as part of their reporting should hang their head in shame

Count Binface is a political idealist, not a murderer.

"Former Bulk Distributor assistant editor Andy Burnham is set to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, marking an extraordinary journey from the pages of the tank container industry press to the steps of Downing Street." bulk-distributor.com/2026/07/form...

Amen. Doing this stuff properly, doing robust qual, *is literally my job* and the continued use of vox pops - and the way some journalists defend the use of them - drives me up the bloody wall

In case you missed it, here's Count Binface's appearance on the BBC this morning.

This is excellent, as others have said, and is a great way of illustrating how the current great and the good don’t understand the age old lesson that correlation doesn’t equal causation. Remember: the billionaires are lucky and stupid

Say what you like about Farage vs Binface, it’s surely going to be a better game of football than whatever Switzerland and Colombia are serving up

On my way, Clacton.

Cracking stuff here, as ever

Watch wearers of London: assemble

Wait, what? This is incredible

He’s challenging Jonny Infantino for FIFA President

Jeffrey Epstein! John Wayne Gacy! Lee Harvey Oswald! Harvey Weinstein! Your boys took one hell of a beating!

Not many Americans arguing for reinterpretation of minor FIFA subclauses now I see. I don’t think your margarine sculpture of Jabba the Hutt can aircon you out of this one, lads

The Americans have been out in force today demonstrating that they don’t understand the sport. But they can read Wikipedia and make silly comparisons, I suppose

A fantastic bottle episode ratchets up the tension on the most recent episode of #HotD. Read my article on @reactorsff.bsky.social, leave a comment, share it with friends! reactormag.com/tv-review-ho...

The Green Brigade making it all about themselves again, eh?

Also, for what it’s worth, the red card was definitely a red card. It was a reckless and dangerous tackle

Got to say, I didn’t think Donald Trump could make himself any less popular around the world. Then he decided to call FIFA

Bluesky population not beating the no sense of humour and doesn’t like football accusations this morning, I see

fully do not understand why people are getting mad at this, kids love staying up for naughty reasons, most adults will end up having to work through a hangover or a silly late night at some point, genuinely what is the problem here

What a fitting end for Neymar…shit talking the goalkeeper who won the game for his team while you score a consolation penalty

FIFA corrupt? I refuse to accept it.

He literally took undeclared donations from a criminal - never mind “breaking rules” Farage has tried to ignore them entirely for personal gain. And he’s done it over and over again www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I will be going to the pub at 1am regardless

This is the one. www.youtube.com/live/XcxRUkG...

It’s IN, subeditors, not OF

Another day, another raft of articles about Andy Burnham and the amorphous nature of “the North” from confused southern journalists. My main note, as ever is: it’s King *IN* the North, not King *of* the North

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

Fond memories of sitting in London eating Mexican food in an air conditioned restaurant, with plentiful ice in my drink, tipping a (generous) 12.5%.

We’ve had un œuf of cartels.

It seems Arsenal fans are cryarsing about something a former Liverpool manager said after last night’s Germany game. Lads, you won the league. Just enjoy it

Nice

The life of a musician, throw a £5k guitar in a £500 car to play a £50 show!

Growing up in the 1980s, the idea that Reagan would end up being considered centre-right is absolutely wild

It’s easy to know this stuff conceptually, yet seeing it visualised is genuinely mind blowing. Great bit of work

PSA: We are all Democratic Socialists, we’re just in various stages of admitting it.

Love this

Reminder that to people in Newcastle and Sunderland, Manchester is only *very* notionally in the same The North as them, and only about 45 minutes closer by train than London.

She’s a looney

The scale of “Burnham must prove he cares about London” from some seemingly sensible commentators is wild, given he’s had the temerity to…do one speech about maybe moving some functions of No.10 to nearer his own constituency. As a Northerner in London, you lot should be ashamed of yourselves
