It's Cormac McCarthy's birthday, so we can't let it go by without pointing you to this ridiculous nonsense in our archives...

You can read the full CSA statement here: thecsa.co.uk/csa-statement/ If the Club wishes to avoid a repeat of the disharmony and unrest that dominated much of last season, it must act swiftly to remove Michael Nicholson and Chris McKay before the situation deteriorates further.

Hardly listen to any podcasts #celtic or otherwise, but this one is worth it (don't tell Remy I said so, I'll never hear the end of it). And the book sounds good as well.

ALSO TODAY: @todseelie.bsky.social on the secret history of his most viral (and most stolen) photo ever. "I hadn’t realized, until then, that when you post something online and it becomes very popular, it no longer belongs to you. It becomes the people’s photo." flaminghydra.com/secrets-of-a...

Derek Warfield personally shot down four Harrier jets with a shoulder fired SAM system purchased from Libya with funds raised by the NYPD Pipes & Drums marching band on Saint Patrick's Day. A troubling episode that many would prefer we did not discuss, but the truth cannot be hidden forever.

@nycosmossc.bsky.social Win or lose, barra brava culture always survives & thrives ...

#OtD 19 Jul 1936 after a right-wing coup by General Franco, workers across Spain took up arms and launched a social revolution. The ensuing civil war pitted the working class against Spanish capitalists, German Nazis and Italian fascists. More in our pod: workingclasshistory.com/2020/06/17/e...

The only thing I half cared about was England not winning, & once that box was checked it was over. So I rooted for Spain mostly to wind up my pal V. But then there was a huge asshole at the bar on their side and V was genuinely going through it, so I switched allegiances for his sake, poor fella.

Some summery 1970's Deco Revival pretties now in Blue and Purple mother of pearl as well as green and white in the shop already. Nearly weightless. romantic tho. NomadicMoonArts.etsy.com

like back in the day this kinda childhood was reserved for the kids of people like the earl of eating orphans or a viscount of genocide

I am taking this out so as not to disturb the thread too much and to say that Waits loved anachronistic American slang and kept this one alive, for me, along with "colder than a well-digger's ass" & many more.

Of all the Sister Act porn ripoffs out there, and there are many (believe me), I think Sack Cloth And Asses is probably the one that stands the test of time best for its engagement with deep themes of theology, sin, guilt, atonement and big old clapping asses.

This is what The Internet was supposed to be for.

Apathy wins.

i only have like four unpopular opinions that aren’t about politics and most of the political ones are still popular on bluesky. but it’s a wonderful life is a deeply evil movie

It's funny when old people are nostalgic for old music but this takes me back in a wave of body memory like Glenn Miller must have done for my grandma when she'd put his records on in 1970 whatever and start swaying around, eyes closed. I am right back there, pupils dilated to fuck.

And the Southern Cross take note Where bold Willie Bullfin wrote The Irish still support you, Argentina With the Empire tumbling down Let no Paddies back the crown 'Las Islas Malvinas, Argentina' youtu.be/oogvQTaRVeA?...

Posts by folks trying to rehab the Falklands war as an antifascist crusade for freedom by noted liberator and anticolonialist Margaret Thatcher is just more evidence that this game is still big enough to make people lose their whole entire minds. Can't wait for 3 PM!

Pulling this out for a barely related story about a third space that I know others never had available to them. My high school girlfriend C was orphaned early in life and raised by lovely friends of her parents who fostered her until she turned 18. When she did, she inherited a house 1/?

who lives in a pineapple under the sea?

I'm not exactly sad that Les Bleus lost today, but I still respect them, and I'm winding down #BastilleDay with some classic "rap en Français", while sippin' sancerre 🥂

And the Southern Cross take note Where bold Willie Bullfin wrote The Irish still support you, Argentina With the Empire tumbling down Let no Paddies back the crown 'Las Islas Malvinas, Argentina' youtu.be/oogvQTaRVeA?...

This is an affront to the sacred memory of every Troop who BlueSky died on Hamburger Hill

1. There are LOTS of blatantly anti-Catholic Chick tracts - I remember seeing these as a kid in Georgia in the mid-90s, and my parents were atheists/agnostics. 2. If you don’t know what a Chick tract is, you may be very sheltered from the reality of how insane most American evangelicals are.

Bringing this back because I had not read anything good in a while. But now I have, and while it was probably too sad for the mood I am currently in, I am still glad I did, and I should read more from the author.

1. ICE chases someone 2. they run because ICE has a proven track record of indiscriminate violence and improper detention 3. ICE kills the person because they dare to run 4. ICE claims the person they kill was trying to kill them

Listening to the Albert Ayler broadcast on WKCR and I swear the things they are playing just now sound like Aaron Copland on acid ... sawing fiddle, big hoedown heads, then a meltdown, then back again, just amazing stuff.

#ResistanceRoots Richard Roundtree was born on this day in 1942 in New Rochelle, N.Y. He is best known as cinema’s first Black action hero for his role in the 1971 film Shaft. Throughout his long career, he broke barriers for Black actors and reshaped how Black men were represented on screen. /1

There was this article on Starmer a couple of weeks ago: www.liberalcurrents.com/starmer-out/

[Hunter S Thompson] I had become snarling, feral. By the time I staggered up to the flan place and found it shut I was ready to commit the kind of violence upon property that no person in my state should even consider committing in public. "Flan, goddamit!" I shouted, waving my arms, "I need FLAN!"

Industry Billfold i made for a pal out of black italian leather. A little hard to photo but features a flap pocket for bills, envelope pocket for notes/specials, and a slot that works for both book-bound or classic top-bound notebooks. Designed specifically for servers and bartenders

FM will forgive me for the tangent I hope, but "a typical construction mishap" is code for "holy fuck" & today I was talking with one of the boys who was there on the day of the "mishap" reported through the link below. They called cars instead of ambulances so as not to arouse undue attention.

Where do I apply to move to the alternate universe where the solar panels Carter put on the White House stayed up, the world pivoted to renewable energy and 50 years later nobody gives a shit about the Strait Of Hormuz and the planet is likely to remain habitable for more than 20 or so years?

This is what I wrote about Platner back in October of 2025, and I think it holds up okay. The popular movement that grew around him in Maine is real and inspiring, the guy himself was always fugazy at best. At this point I just hope the former outlasts the latter. defector.com/what-job-is-...

My unbroken streak of assuming a guy with a nazi tattoo is probably a piece of shit is continuing for the foreseeable.

"[Not my name], will you STAND WITH US by supporting [insert name of candidate in some other state who, if elected, will immediately denounce Socialism and pledge to Reach Across The Aisle in the interest of Common Sense Bipartisanship]???" Get in the fucking sea ya grifting fucks

I swear to fuck if I ever find the person who gave my number to every fucking blue wave "will you help us RIGHT NOW" fundraising list i will gut them. It was probably me, though, back when I actually donated money via my phone. Asshole. "It seems you're ignoring us" bitch I blocked you 7 times

It just struck me in the chest the other day, I’ve voted for centrists in general elections for years when the leftists I’ve supported have lost, but they get all sniffy about “not MY party!” when leftists get elected?!? Take your dumb toys home, then, we’re trying to build something.

It is amazing to think that the USA is still not enjoying a comfortable lead as most hated in some places simply because the sassenach still have so much credit in the bank. Cymru Abú 😂

Despite being written off by many, Neymar steps up and proves he can still be a pure wank at the highest level

The last time Brazil won the World Cup was so long ago Celtic’s manager was Martin O’Neill

[Exterior, day. Steve Clarke stands outside a diner in Brooklyn waiting for the pay phone to ring, which it does. He picks it up] "aye it's stevie " [Ståle Solbakken] "stevie, yeah, that thing we talked about? That you wanted? It's done."

Would hate to be a pickled herring in Oslo tonight, biy.

That big lummox is some fucking player

The I ... The I ... The Ay yi yi yi yi

On the Mexican beers already, my nerves are shot!

We go now live to Glasgow

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

When you get the news from Ireland first

He will die as he lived, obstructing democracy.
