Yes, we have some serious problems in the UK, but at least we didn't make Jimmy Savile Prime Minister after he'd attempted a coup against the state and then let him appoint all his creepy mates to plum government jobs before attempting to destroy the international political order

Credit where credits due, only 11% of FIFA presidents have ever given a peace prize to a war criminal and I think that's pretty good going for an organisation as ludicrously corrupt as FIFA.

I didn't realise Get Out! was a documentary.

I've been helping the wonderful @robynn.bsky.social to put together the website for her new venture Studio Miranda. If you like knitting, crochet or anything to do with yarn you should check out studiomiranda.ch

why can they not just fix it

Feeling pleased with myself for replacing the left joy-con and the fan in our Switch and (so far) it all works!

People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Just seen the new design of the #Guardian website home page and to me the topline of featured articles above the header just looks like some weird rendering error. Why would you elevate that above your branding? Plus it makes it look like Arsenal is more important story than a potential war.

I know the Minecraft Movie is popular right now Wes, but cosplaying on breakfast TV won't make you any less of an arsehole.

Wait, does Disney own the rights to Rocky Horror? Does that make Magenta and Columbia Disney princesses?

It's Sächsilüüte here in Zurich today, when we all gather together to set light to a giant snowman (the Böögg) with fireworks in its head. We do this purely to terrify Germans with our propensity to use words with consecutive umlauted vowels. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sechsel...

At this stage you'd be needing a microscope to see the point of Keir Starmer.

Fuck Me, The Government Turned Out To Be A Bunch Of Cunts. I Wish They'd All Fuck Off And Die. It's 2:00PM

This is why they call him The Welshman

A story I’ve told before but not on here so apologies if you’ve heard it… About 12 years ago when Clara & I were still together and the kids were very small, we were spending Easter with friends at a big house in the country… On Easter morning we were awoken (as, I suspect, was everyone else)…

Are you fucking kidding?

there are people out there who really, truly can't wait to just "hop on a quick call". like, genuinely for the love of the game. and they have to be stopped.

Wenn die US-Zölle bleiben, sollen auch Trump und seine Tech-Milliardäre eine Reaktion spüren. Mit einer Digitalsteuer von 10% für Grossunternehmen (>750 Mio Umsatz) trifft man gezielt Google, Amazon oder X. Solche Massnahmen braucht es jetzt parallel zu Verhandlungen. www.blick.ch/politik/als-...

Anyone else out there still rocking a 20 year old Whitelines Magazine hoodie?

Credulous 'news' organisation blithely parrots cheesy propaganda

Tonight's pub quiz spilled out into the front room of the pub which involved some juggling of 2 incompatible microphone/speaker set ups. Here's our high tech solution for running the music round 😂

So patronizing when the dentist patiently explains how to floss. I'm not a baby who doesn't know how to do basic things. I'm a baby who doesn't wanna

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The pub quiz at The Alehouse went well this evening - tight scoring, lots of gettable answers but no arguments from the punters ☺️
