Love the replies to this. Both those that are and aren’t in on the joke

apparently the brits are fighting about something called “gorton and denton” today, which i assume is a late-night comedy show that did something controversial. won’t be looking into this

Largely outplayed by a better side, then you nick it with (almost) the last kick of the game. Few better feelings in football. Up the Hamlet! 🌴

I would not be entirely surprised to find out that this dimwit has nonce-adjacent skeletons in his closet

This thread is so brilliant. Best thing you’ll see today. Unless Arsenal do let the cap off the bottle later, that is

Are they all sex pests or nonces?

Brilliant brilliant photo

One day this will happen for the very final time.

This is the first I’ve heard of the misquote about monsters. Absolutely not surprised that the idiot Zizek is the origin of said garbling.

I guess this kid doesn’t really remember George Osborne’s time as Chancellor

This is so good

St John remains the best. Literally never had a less-than-superb meal here

10/10

The Westminster journos are so attached to election drama that they’ll write this nonsense with glee. Probably because writing about policy and governing is too hard for them, requiring greater numeracy than just looking at a poll

I don’t care if we eat the rich as long as we kill them

He is a crook, he was a crook, he was mates with a paedo. Add to that, he’s treasonous. Cool combo of factors

This stuff is just baffling to me. How are some people this dim? Or this deluded? Or this entitled?

Superb. No notes

This chap is clearly neither a reader nor a historian. Yet he is is confident

For what it’s worth, any public opinion qual I’ve done on this (and it’s quite a bit) suggests people don’t want self-driving cars and don’t trust them not to kill pedestrians.

Mandelson? Corrupt? What? Surely he learned his lesson that first time he got fired from government?

I guess Saudi money can buy referees

At 1-1, that brief period, my half time comment was going to be: “Florian Wirtz is the best player in this league” Turns out that’s nonsense. He’s the second best player in this league.

Soon, in the FT: why paramilitary forces acting without oversight, answerable only to one man, shooting unarmed citizens dead in the street isn’t *technically* fascist

Excellent thread here…

This guy sounds like he’d be fun at a party

Your twice daily reminder that these are not smart people

Yessss!

@towerhamletsnow.bsky.social second time since Christmas that we’ve gone a fortnight without bins being emptied. We’ve called on Friday, on Monday, and today only to be told that you have followed your process and, well, that is that. Why are you so unhelpful?

This is despair-inducingly poor journalism. Petty crime - like having your phone pinched or shoplifting (two of the key examples used in the article) - isn’t a harbinger of imaginary ‘chaos creep’, it demonstrates that major, serious crime is down and criminals are resorting to ever pettier methods

Late to the news. Jenrick has joined Reform, I see Putin making moves this transfer window, ahead of a big European push in the second half of the season

Coldest possible take: a scotch egg is genuinely a substantial meal

Bone Temple is excellent. Just saying. Brilliant follow up to the equally excellent 28 Years Later, both gorier and funnier. Can’t wait for the finale

Potters Bar (A)

A prime example of someone being too journo-brained to think properly about the real world

A useful counterpoint to that dreadful FT article the other day

Excellent thread, this

Put some headphones on while on public transport or switch your phone off. Why are so many people not house broken?

This is correct

This is excellent. Coherently articulates the situation the Reds find themselves in, and does so in the face of some moronic noise from the thinnest-skinned parts of the fanbase

Who among us hasn’t kicked themselves in the balls via a remote controlled robot?

If London is over, as all the right wing cranks say it is, someone needs to tell the rest of the world. Because all their tourists are here today

Tombstone is a Christmas movie. Pass it on

This is brilliant

Man, Jurassic Park is good. Especially when drunk after a BRMC gig

Terrific Rob Reiner story, this…

This is superb

Absltly mgnfcnt tnght

After the sad show at Union Chapel earlier this year, tonight’s show was as good as I’ve ever seen Shack
