It’s not just Vomit Guy anymore apparently

I make no comment on the particulars of this but I would like to observe as a general point: Policy Decision X having Impact Y does not mean that reversing X will have Impact Opposite of Y. In fact, thanks to path dependency and institutional constraints, it almost always won't

Crypto Leaders Call For Infusion Of 20 Million Dopes To Stabilize Market

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

what do these footballers have in common (which no one else has?): Jorginho, Marcelo, Julian Alvarez, David Luiz, Ramires, Rafinha, Neymar, Walter Samuel, Dida, Danilo, Ronaldinho, Juan Pablo Sorin, Cafu, Carlos Tevez, and Roque Junior

tangential but there's a glorious story about Puccini and Toscanini, who were both very fiery individuals and therefore constantly prone to feuds over incomprehensible slights. One Christmas, Toscanini forgot he was currently feuding with Puccini....

huge amount to like about the Nigerian Modernism exhibition at Tate Modern! Best they've done in quite a while for me

extraordinary one-two punch here

Your Party running a sortition exercise for their founding conference then purging nearly 10% of those selected to attend isn't doing anything to dispell the notion that they're less a political party and more a performance art piece meant to mock the entire concept of left-wing organising

bit too early still but Album of the Year chat? I'm willing to give it to LUX I reckon

It's like the story taught in globalization class about the children who visit the US and say "mom, dad, there's McDonald's in America too!". (Eataly is an Italian chain. Its HQ and first branch are in Torino.)

Maybe she thinks it was a public-pilate partnership.

I hate this football team so so so much

remember, folks,

Charlotte Rampling is such a magnificent actor

OBR chief states that he never knew it was a pussy palace, adding "I always thought it was a dojo"

I fear that as a society we're putting a strain on the definition of the word "regressive" beyond what it can reasonably be expected to bear

OMG. The Guardian have confused Kenneth Clark, presenter of the 1969 series 'Civilisation' with Tory ex-MP & former Chancellor Kenneth Clarke in their review of the new BBC series 'Civilisations:Rise & Fall'

feel a bit sorry for Arne Slot because to me Liverpool's problems are largely that they signed way too many players with way too little planning, and that's not really his fault

interesting and not necessarily what you'd expect from Online that the uk is joint thirteenth with singapore, above Canada, USA, South Korea, Japan, France....

at what point do we start talking about Marco Jansen as one of the world's best bowlers

WEST END GIRL is yet more proof of my theory that 808s AND HEARTBREAK is by far the most important / influential album of the last 25 years

mid twentieth century was actually a very violent time in "the west's" politics, the JFK assassination is an exemplar not a rupture

I have fallen down the rabbithole of 'her remarks about RFK in the NYT's pundit round tables' and....!!!

"it's your party now!" "please, we've done that joke a million times, I thought we'd agreed it wasn't funny anymore." "no I mean literally I'm leaving the party."

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves surely the first prime minister and chancellor duo to both play the flute

most important performance of this Ashes, by far, will be Nathan Lyon's. England's batting plan totally revolves around smashing him out the ground, both to get the runs and so that Australia have to rejig the attack and make their fast bowlers work so hard they break

Great to see Kenny McLean score such a great goal! Probably my favourite #NCFC player. Good guy! 💛💚 A great guy who always stops to take photos and chat with the kids.

currently reading Speak, Memory which is an interesting combination of the most unbelievably beautiful prose you've ever read and Bouncing Back by Alan Partridge. At one point Nabokov breaks off the narrative with a threadbare excuse just to list the three best scientific papers he wrote

pharmaceutical names are so impossible to remember that I'm currently reduced to checking it on Shinzo Abe's Wikipedia page

Captain, we wanted to inform you that Olivia Nuzzi also fucked Mark Sanford.

UK Politics Bluesky is a not-particularly-popular role-playing game. the rules are simple: one participant takes the part of "the Stephen Bush", a commentator for the Financial Times, and other participants race to as quickly as possible link any given statement to the Harry Potter media franchise

good to see another local appointment (spiritually, Norfolk is a Benelux country)

watching Gilmore Girls A Year In The Life. I know some people think this is bad but ultimately I don't think it can be worse than Arrested Development s4 so....well done Netflix?

this is a psyop and I need to stop falling for it

Yep, CRICKET CLICHES is coming – with regular episodes throughout the Ashes – in the masterful hands of hosts @norcrosscricket.bsky.social, @nickmiller79.bsky.social and many more... To get involved (and please do get involved): cricket.footballcliches.com

this contains some Jim Hacker-level mixed metaphors

makes perfect sense that The Traitors is a Dutch show. Incredibly Dutch vibes

Australia winning the Ashes would be a tiny bit less unbearable if it all originated in Norfolk

the Thierry Henry handball produced some, uh, curious reactions

it is quite extraordinary to me that Taylor Swift hasn't got more hate for this, which I think at a minimum deserves some sort of criminal trial

just saw the worst gaming ad ive ever seen

The golden age of diversity and democracy in Oz.

Scotland should be an interesting team but they've been absolutely dire in this match

AI slop now making up saccharine Bible verses that do not exist

One reason is that people who’ve fled for their lives need security and permanency to rebuild their lives. The last thing they need is unending anxiety about being sent back to what they escaped. This will cause huge stress, damage to mental health, harm to children, difficulties in integrating 3/

Olivia Nuzzi got sent in to do a profile but it turned out she wanted to fuck the subject so we sent in Jacob Bernstein to profile her and it turns out he also wants to fuck the subject

no I don't think that's what a politician is actually

thebaffler.com/latest/flat-... this sounds like one of the worst books ever published

Seen a few of the epstein emails now, all with different people and it's not the main issue here but is everyone illiterate
