It is quite amusing, and very on brand, that Adam’s plea for contributions from Bluesky has led to a plethora of replies simply telling him to get off X (from myself included). Although he did frame it in a way that suggested we were a last resort.

Taken as a whole, there’s more truth in fiction than non-fiction

Spurs fans rn

Peter Thiel is in the Epstein emails, enjoying himself. Peter Thiel is an overt, convinced, outspoken Nazi. Peter Thiel's company is being paid by the UK government to crawl all over YOUR personal data. Oswald Mosley's grandson runs his UK operation. You can't make it up.

Moose continues to show that creativity is at its best when it is at its simplest. I hope he doesn’t think this is anything other than a compliment.

Maybe I’m just getting old or maybe football is boring me senseless but I very rarely last 90 minutes these days. I want TF to do well but I’m just so bored of it all. My season ticket days feel a very long time ago

Really don’t know how I feel about Screen Rot

Name a movie quote that people almost always quote incorrectly. Ferris: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. Silly people: Life comes at you fast

Anyone still on X is a wrongun and has been for at least a year

spread Samir Zitouni’s name far and wide

That Bruno shot bounced three times before hitting the post. Very unsatisfying.

Thomas Frank did the 6-7 meme, complete with actions, after Newcastle? Sign him up for life.

I played against someone who had Partey and Greenwood in his team on FIFA last week and it made me feel sick. Greenwood to Spurs simply cannot happen

The News Agents are like some year 9 social studies project. Some wide eyed kids talking about Trump’s fascism as if it’s all still hypothetical

I really don’t like this idea. They’ve been over platformed for so long their abhorrence has become legitimised. The mask slipping doesn’t matter - look at Trump. We need to stop pandering to these twats. Put them back in the corner with the dunce’s hat on.

Related, there’s a proud tradition of fascism within nature writing. Tarka the Otter and the purity of the English countryside, etc

I’m old enough to remember when Zack Polanski was shouting from the rooftops at 77,000. That was last month. Genuine momentum for hope over fear.

Lovely cameo from Bergvall

I see all the protests in the US and the Portland frog etc and I keep thinking of this section from Ali Smith’s Autumn

I really, really want Frank to give Archie Gray 10 games alongside Palhinha. His skillset is probably similar to Bentancur, but he is so much braver on the ball and is the future of the team. Just put him in and let him grow with the team. I could get behind that because it would represent a plan

When the clocks change, these games will be kicking off at midnight for me. Not sure I’ll be staying up to watch. Getting a bit antsy at our lack of cohesion or plan

An Echo Of Glory went hard on Odobert and Vicario this week. Much of their criticism often relies on ‘can’t think of when they’ve done something good’, which is not ideal if you’re gonna set yourselves up as voices of authority

Odobert is close to being very effective. Some of the podcast vitriol towards him has been dumb

I see we’ve lost Barney Ronay

I’ve been pretty bored watching Spurs since about 2017. The occasional blip of excitement, but it’s been a slog for a long time now

Nevermind the long throws, our short throws have been diabolical. Lose the ball every time

By Hojberg-Skipp vibes from this midfield. Just want it broken up

Your antidote to the despair the Reform-Tory-Labour bloc wants us to be paralyzed by.

Fun quiz: is this an obergruppenführer from Nazi Germany, or the head of operations for the military occupation of Chicago?

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Today’s email from @writershq.bsky.social today is an absolute doozy. Just the best call-to-arms for us creative writing types.

Mentally preparing for the Vuskovic ACL and having to wait until 2027 to see him in a Spurs shirt

Jenrick is just too on the nose for PM in a totalitarian dystopia. He’s your first draft idea, obvious and shallow, your placeholder while you figure out a more interesting character

Can someone shut Overton’s Window please, it’s blowing a gale in here

I was confident today because all the talk beforehand was about all the factors against Spurs. Narrative rarely equals reality

See some people whinging already. Matched them physically. Moments of quality won it. Some fun football in the first half, superb control in the second. I don’t know what people want from a lunchtime kickoff away from home after Europe.

The Leeds fans seem be under the impression that the other team isn’t allowed to be as physical as they are

Superb from Odobert in the build-up to that Kudus miss

These are all the things we learn about the new Archbishop of Canterbury before discovering her name - her age - the name of her husband (!) - where she is from - a job she did more than 20 years ago Sarah Mullally, by the way.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I’m more angry at Bill Burr’s surprise that Arabs are human beings who are all just trying to get on with their day, just like everyone else in the world. The ignorance and residual Islamophobia is staggering. Far too many people equate those in charge with the entire people and it’s gross.

Some people just need to go and support Nottingham Forest

I see Playdough Patton has been vomiting word salads to absolute silence

Tel off the bench to win it today

Archie Gray.

In case you need a definition: Genre fiction: shit happens Literary fiction: Shit has already happened and everyone has trauma

I like to think this is in honour of the 12th being my 50th birthday and memories of watching Eurotrash with Terry Griffiths in the players lounge at the Snooker World Championship

We’re losing, but this is fun
