Got some cans of this. Not a terrible experiment. Mango Irn-Bru, basically. Apparently the Unicorn Tears one is dandelion and burdock though, so it can get in the loch.

Wanted to see if I could Paul Williams this one. ZEBvEDI 28-28, 4 mins left

Edinburgh *literally over* Zebre's tryline and... they look tired and uninspired. The Italians by contrast, ferociously defending. This game is done. ZEBvEDI

Snorted.

Flicked on ZEBvEDI. 14 man Zebre score. Go off to check something else. Come back and switch it on again. Zebre score. My magicks shall not be denied.

No Scottish writer would ever have come up with a transport system based on voice recognition magic.

It gets worse when you click the link.

The replies to this really wide-held belief are unhinged levels of arrested development. No one's favourite Simpsons episode, or line, or moment, is a new one. We all love it, we all grew up with it, and it hasn't been very good for *decades*. Saying so shouldn't be controversial.

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.

I’ve been looking around for the most credulous mid-campaign piece about Trump’s obviously fatuous Project 2025 disavowal, and I think it might be this one from Politico. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Does the existence of magazines imply the existence of antifazines?

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

it's so funny that Greenblatt bent over backwards to these people and annihilated his organization's credibility with anyone left of center to get absolutely nothing from the right

I was looking forward to Mone's victim's lament. As predictable as the dawn.

RIP renowned Italian film poster artist Renato Casaro. Considered one of the most influential Italian poster designers, Casaro leaves behind a legacy of hand-painted artwork for thousands of films, including such classics as Conan the Barbarian, Octopussy, and A Fistful of Dollars. He was 89.

Pete Hegseth as he saw himself. Pete Hegseth as he was.

Bought a washing machine. 450 notes. Fine, whatever. Except I wanted the black one. Which is 750 for the exact same model. Wut?

fuck off fuck off fuck off fuck OFF with this bullshit

TRUMP: I have a beautiful signature. I only sign it on the best gold paper. Joe Biden never signed anything. HEGSETH: I want war crimes like in the good old days. What's up with prosecuting wife-beaters? You're all too fat. I'm parapahrasing, but I'm not fictionalising. They said all this today.

Enjoyed this. Everyone, everyone, everyone will tell you the Sonys are excellent and well worth the cash. Here they're not even top 3.

Well fuck you very much, Wales. Leave then. See if anyone else wants your broke ass. But seriously I don't see how becoming the outsiders in a broken English system appeals at all.

Saw Brian Blessed on The South Bank Show once talking about being a quiet introvert and I've never known whether he actually sees himself that way or he was taking the piss.

An astonishing piece of writing in the NYT.

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

To this day my Canadian 'impression' is still Terrence and Philip.

This is wonderful 💚 Real Betis invited 11 of the club’s oldest members to be mascots this weekend, celebrating their long-held support and International Day for Older Persons 👏

Look, I quite like PlayStation as a brand. And I've got a soft spot for Reebok. But the grey retro is FUGLY and always has been.

Alright, media. I will read exactly one interview with Mr Beast IF the headline includes confirmation that, "yes, he really does smile like that."

Is it remotely possible Schumer and Jeffries have been saying how hard they're working to keep the federal government open again and again, because they have absolutely no intention of doing that and don't want to be blamed for it. Is it remotely possible they have even that small amount of skill?

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

😂😂😂 Yeah this is going to go down well #2025RyderCup #TeamEurope #BigRory

Professional wrestler Bad Bunny to headline Superbowl halftime show.

Ten years ago I read a study that revealed a quarter of Americans believed the Sun orbited the Earth. People dismissed this at the time. It couldn't possibly be true. They weren't paying attention. They were sabotaging the poll. Seemed perfectly believable to me. All the moreso today.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Asking the dog "where's my fucking trainers" like she ever tells me.

Oh, fuck. Do I have to become a golf fan now?

England has entered the chat.

Saw a review of one of Irn-Bru's special edition flavours on r/glasgow. "And it's sugar free too so basically a health drink."

Pornography.

This has done me. 😂

Packed house in Pretoria as usual.

Watching last night's Glasgow game where with a bonus point in the bag and a 9 point lead, they got a penalty in front of the posts and went for the corner rather than the three. Not the right call for me but yet again it begs the question if Glasgow can be so ruthless, why can't Scotland?

Have spent basically the entire game fiddling with my display and capture settings. HDR on Windows is a mess.

Oh. I'd have enjoyed watching that.

Mordor on the Orient Express

"[Johnny Matthews] has more tries than appearances for Glasgow." He has 47 appearances. 🙃

Turns out the secret is to wait until they think you won't renew then they'll email you.

This shits me up every month. There has to be a better way to present the news, "you'll pay a small amount of money that you can easily afford, just like you do every month, on a credit card you don't want at all, but are using to bump your credit score." Pithier, I'll grant you.
