Without DEI, we would only make merit-based hires, like the genius strategist who decided to pick a fight with his boss’s new young wife.

If anyone was looking for solid evidence that a crash is imminent, here it is:

Mel Brooks, too

Today we note the passing of a real Dick

I was talking about Stuart Boam in the pub before the Boro-Wrexham about 10 days ago. I even did the little chant "Six foot 2 and eyes of blue..." Before my time but I knew he was a legend and captain during the Charlton era. RIP

The online baying mob shouting "Vote Reform" after Saturday's train stabbing attack may wish to note that not a single Reform MP has turned up for the Home Secretary's statement on the incident.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

It’s a Halloween must have. 🎃

Literal sociopaths

Is drinking hemlock or an asp to the breast the quickest method of death?

Hi @londonreviewbookshop.co.uk could you share this. A customer of yours has lost their LRB bookshop haul.

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

I'm at Watford watching Boro perform poorly. Losing 2-0. Due to our incompetence. Sure, the ref is shite but we made the goals easy for them. Need an early goal just to lift the team and fans.

Andrew, or to give him his full title, Andrew.

Looks like one of the Greendale Humans from Community.

As a Teessider who lives in London, this attitude from some Labour MPs pisses me off. Some still think London streets are paved of gold and poverty doesn't exist.

Now this is the kind of info I come for Bluesky for. And the rest of the thread ain't bad, either

This bloke doesn't even pretend it's called Soylent Green

It was good to see him in a cameo in the RTD biopic Nolly

When in Rome... Redcar may be cold but the lemon top quickly melts

Perfect coffee ☕

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

Middlesbrough, I am in you

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce qué cest.

Boro made hard work of that match though should have scored at least one more. Nearly allowed Wednesday to get a point. Lumley, inevitably, made some really good saves.

Well it looked bad on the Leppings Lane end but could not be sure. Conway has built himself a rep with refs. Obviously they'll have a WhatsApp group between mentioning certain players

The Wednesday boycott seems to be working in the stand named after the man the fans want out.

I liked it when I didn't know who Katie Lam was

The White House (2028)

Amazing that Trump is doing more damage to the White House than the British when we set fire to it in 1814.

Police have released a picture of the main suspects.

Best city comment ever: Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon 'Umm Qasr is a city similar to Southampton'. A British squaddie was quick to correct him, explaining: 'Umm Qasr has no beer, no prostitutes and people are shooting at us. It's more like Portsmouth.' www.theguardian.com/travel/2003/...

Play the ball, not the man, but I cannot help but feel Allister Heath looks like an aborted Gerry Anderson puppet.

The advice I give young people on choice of degree programme. Choose something you love. You’ve got the rest of your life to be frustrated and miserable.

Nicknamed the Octopus, if I remember correctly, due to his groping. It's amazing what people will ignore if they're on your side

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Interesting choice of colour they dress in.

Boro were deservedly beaten today. One side desired it more than the other. It was almost a late Carrick-like performance today. Dare I say one of Hackney or Morris needs a rest and allow Browne to replace them?

"burn down the disco..." nb please be sure, I'm not being literal and I'm using lyrics from a song by a famous Mancunian to make a facetious remark. Though, nowadays ,that famous Mancunian probably thinks the silent disco is full of lefties.

Carrickball returned in that first 45 minutes.

Two words. Fucking. Hell.
