OH MY GOD IT'S A FULL POLL-BASED CYOA AND IT'S MAJESTIC

The best crisps are, unequivocally, Walkers Crisps. So why don't pubs ever sell them?

Great thread here from yesterday at #BACCH ASM

#BACCH ASM 2025! #choosepaeds #choosecommpaeds

At #BACCH REALLY good new resource available for parents of #autistic kids, and autistic CYP themselves Tooth decay more common in autism and there are lots of barriers - this website can help. Parent-led research ❤️ [please share if you can] www.autismtoothcare.com

Went on a "barista" course today - essentially a coffee snobs' chance to cock around with nice kit. Was from 3-6PM. I remain VERY well caffeinated.

Not a lot of coverage of the @paralympicsgb.bsky.social team. Live stream on YouTube is commentary free and hard to search for the event you want. @paralympicsgb.bsky.social and @paralympics.org channels totally silent... DURING THE PARALYMPICS? Bit disappointing really. #paralympics

Daily Fail headline today (paraphrased) ALL THESE FOREIGNERS IN CALAIS HAVE ONE DESTINATION IN MIND Well yeah. That's why they're in CALAIS. Not exactly mind-blowing journalism.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

Hard to disagree with a red card there. Chelsea in trouble already. Fortunately it's Man U, so park the bus and hit them on the break. #mnuche

Here's another multilingual poem then, just for you... English cheese is good Dutch cheese is gouda An English sweater is soft A Japanese one is ichi In the UK you gently turn a tap In the US you faucet And English thank yous can kill with kindness But in France it’s a merci killing

Trump's not even brought the real Melania with him, that's one of the inflatable ones

Evening

I wrote something for Rapper’s Delight’s 45th anniversary but got distracted and didn’t publish it until a few months back, so here it is again if you missed it… rentparty.substack.com/p/chapter-24...

Well that's absolutely savage for Burnley #BURLIV

Tennessee Williams died in 1983, so he was alive at the same time as Venus and Serena - the other tennis-y Williams

As announced in the briefing today we have no event next week. Back on the 20th September

From this week’s Beano.

In Orbit THIS Wednesday! OBVIOUSLY this would never happen in real life, but this week @molcher.bsky.social and @punkrokmomjeans.bsky.social look back to when Mega-City One's citizens elected a complete psychopath to high office... www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQXa...

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

Speaking of the transformative nature of a bombastic horn section, this live version of The Kinks’ “Village Green Preservation Society” from 1973 is another example of elevating an already iconic song…

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, UKRAINE 🇺🇦 34 years ago, we chose us. All of us - East and West, Lviv and Kharkiv, Crimea and Donbas. We chose each other. Not division. We chose unity, identity, and the promise of a shared future. 1/3

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...

Happy Anniversary to my favourite Twitter interaction

If you're near the bloke who said that shite to Semenyo, let them know they're absolutely not one of us. LOUDLY. #LFC #YNWA

The Life of Saliva

In what I'm sure will be a fruitless and disappointing attempt to inject some of Football Twitter (RIP) onto Bluesky, I have a question for you on the eve of the new Premier League season: Which manager do you think will get sacked first? And a bonus question: when? #EPL

If I'd just bowled someone out, and then saw Marizanne Kapp coming in, I might wish I hadn't bothered 🤣 #thehundred #thecricket

Long thread incoming. This is NOT critical of those who feed their baby formula. It’s the end of another #worldbreastfeedingweek and it always prompts a bit of reflection. I am so proud of being able to feed both my children. No 1 fed until nearly ten months, and No 2 is still going strong.

Nothing against him personally, but my kids like commercial radio and I'm starting to worry I might die of a Benson Boone overdose

Lots of talk now about that "important" contribution from Rishabh Pant, but he's scored 17 runs today, and at what cost? Big fan of his, don't think that was wise #bbccricket #thecricket

I love watching Rishabh Pant, but I think the decision to let him bat here is totally stupid. He's clearly in pain, can barely walk, and they're risking him further damage Indian cricket bosses need a word with themselves #thecricket
