I think the people who make a technology that makes nudes of children should be put in jail. this should not be in any way controversial

every year I am ragebaited by the price of blinis in supermarkets and announce I'll make my own and then come Christmas morning when I have 2904389845 things to do before I open the pub there I am making fucking blinis. and they are much better. and much cheaper.

controversial but my bev of the year is Schweppes tropical soda. it's so fucking purple. it tastes incredible with tonic water. it might fix me.

Her name is Joanne Young and she needs our solidarity

great part of the year where even if you don't go out and do anything well-timed trips to the supermarket mean you can live off bizarre combos of yellow sticker canapés for two weeks straight

The language being used for people seeking refuge abroad is unacceptable. Asylum seekers must be allowed to work, not demonised. Starmer’s decision to move people in need to military sites in the new year is unacceptable.

it's wild that people are attacking Alex for this completely correct take - men's professional sports are so homophobic it's beyond comprehension anyway but also Heated Rivalry is now a period piece to the 2010s, a (the standards are on the floor) vastly more tolerant time for LGBTQ+ people

this year's official Landoscar hoodie has arrived, thank you Culture Kings and err. plenty of room if I have a sudden growth spurt I guess

huge wave of melancholy re: failing at everything inevitably because I am a bad person etc. thanks brain really helpful, very constructive feedback

the road immediately outside the pub is about to scientifically explore the question: who would win, about 150 biblically hammered Ukrainians or a bunch of 20-somethings wearing not very many clothes trying to do drugs before they go to the club

v overwhelming how much the cats love me. they just want to sit with their mommi and be safe and warm and crucially Near Mommi

got Korean hotpot and tteok-bokki and rice cake on a stick and stuff from Molly on West Ham Lane and oh my gooddddddddd this is the best thing I've ever ordered

why's my pub full of youtubers what the hell is going on

So much of genAI propaganda is basically gaslighting. You are made to feel insane and doubt your better judgment when it's so fucking obvious it is violently not sustainable and the only truly inevitable thing about it is that it will implode.

Zohran Mamdani scares the ADL more than these guys and I think it's fair to ask why

sorry if I don't speak about anything other than Heated Rivalry for like six years I'm just absolutely cooked by how incredible this is. I thought And Then We Danced was peak help I may have slipped into a coma and yet-

just said I had to go upstairs to the office to deal with something and the something was self-regulating by looking at the gif of Shane kissing Ilya on the forehead

my geriatric kidney patient cat loves cake so much. I used to really carefully make sure he did not even get a crumb but now I'm like well at least he's enjoying life

unfortunate screenshots of our time

is abject hunger & widespread poverty actually a good thing? we ask sir baron cumfuckshire 58th line to the throne and heir of the widget fortune for his down to earth opinion

It's fun, because you can clearly see Labour are so spooked and have been told to get more active on socials, but all they can produce is videos of MPs getting sweaty mad about lefties and Starmer leering above a Christmas tree for some reason. (Did enjoy the cat though.)

every day there are more things involving Heated Rivalry that make me suspect I have slipped into a coma and am hallucinating everything about it

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

I really miss Elene Khoshtaria, my jailed Droa party leader. I received a letter from her today, telling me she supports me in all my (quite tough) current decisions and efforts, which meant a lot to me. 1/

glad to have researched this important question. once a journalist always a journalist

me @ Molly Taylor

ofc this is written by the dude who declared that we'd reached peak human society via... American democracy. man's been cooked since 1992

Georgians share painful jokes about how this is the first year when no one expresses hopes & projections for the next year. We’ve all been too traumatized by 2025 and find it misplaced to make bold statements. We’ll simply continue the resistance, and that’s the important part.

my god I barely know my own tax code why am I responsible for knowing other people's

Who's been on the road? Fucking Beetlejuice?

need to find out why on earth my pub is projected (and this does seem based on actual) to do the biggest week it ever has in....... ....the third week of January. it's not a single day thing so it's not West Ham. what... the fuck happened

LET'S GOOOOOOOO

I have been bark laughing at this for like five hours every time I think about it

me and Sean discussed raising more than $10 billion at lunch while a cat bothered us like half a decade ago where is our market confidence

aw, Antonion Giovinazzi and his incredibly beautiful wife had a bébé 🥹

I worked in a newsagent as a teen and the stale wit of middle-aged men was my kryptonite. I’m a pretty laidback guy, but if an item doesn’t scan and the customer says, “Oh, I guess it must be free then!” they should be summarily executed.

STRUGGLING for space in pubs? need somewhere where you can hear yourself think and sit down? why not come to my nearly totally empty pub in London's trendy Stratford. you can even bring your own food in, what a lovely opportunity in these trying festive times

The Labout Party truly is Margaret Thatcher's greatest achievement, as they happy to let hunger strikers die.

was feeling quite buoyed up and like let's fucking go fucking festive season elton john step into christmas press play etc and then my staff member sort of snapped at me for serving someone and I am quite 'and who the fuck do you think you are' about it but also sudden crushing depression?

tell you what I don't recommend stacking barrels (only the 11Gs thank god we had space to put the 22Gs flat) while you're absolutely busting for a wee

@ my puny mammal body we have been through this we are NOT getting sick

were these the electric vehicles I wanted to see? no. but to have gone from a situation where companies were going to have to declare how much recycled lithium they were using to the end consumer to one where ICEs are being rolled back out, as the planet boils, is so fucking depressing oh my goddddd

I have moved the barrels #thebarrels and written the locals' Christmas cards #thecards and now I am going to sit the fuck down and watch #thedarts

2025 postseason: into the transfer portal

there should be a version of going to Screwfix in Bow where you don't actually need to go to Screwfix in Bow

fighting the urge to kill myself from overstimulation in the post office queue if you're wondering what I'm like in the club
