Or, you know, that instead. #GRESCO
If you're new to Scotland World Cup qualifiers, this is where we get a goal back too late to be useful, and miss a chance good enough for some people to think it was an unlucky defeat. #GRESCO

Regretting being Scottish by marriage now, my constitution is not built for this level of hubris and nemesis

If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

Lee Hurst and Julie Burchill. The past was a different country
The same issue also had a piece on “the last 15 left-wing people in Britain”. Not too sure what was going on at Q then.

Steps have been stuck doing One For Sorrow on #totp for weeks now. Like a group of jaunty, Butlin's singer Terry Waites.

Might be at home tomorrow instead of on a train, yet I can't watch the Netherlands game as a treat as it's in Bezos-vision, booo

Surprised this morning to discover David Shrigley is 6ft 5, as I tend to believe everyone is normal height (5ft 10) unless they're employed in a tall occupation, such as goalkeeper, giraffe feeder, or fire bobby

Getting through my work AND actually having the time to have a wee lunchbreak today, what a Thursday

did not expect the site of Thomas Beckett’s murder to be memorialized in a fashion that is quite so fucking metal

I was once at Middlesbrough FC, and an angry fan shouted “for fuck sake, Boro! If you’re gonna do it, do it right!”, to which I sang “do it with me”. The bloke turned round and said “fair enough, you got me there”.

What is everyone cooking for Christmas? Bonus if it's suitable for two (albeit greedy) people.

Something I was thinking about yesterday: the institutions, publications and tastemakers that I largely looked to to get a handle on the world growing up, and which I expected to stay with me as I got older, have largely either disappeared or disappointed. (Or, in the case of Tom Hibbert, deaded.)

If I were an A-Level Media Studies student I'd probably do my extended essay coursework on the stories chosen for the news bulletin on TalkSport, it would be an analysis goldmine
I don’t think it’s inappropriate to have some news stories about migration issues but it is very odd indeed for BBC 6 Music, a station essentially targeted at hipster leftie middle-aged people, to be majoring on asylum seeker stories as much as it does.
*Again* the top story on BBC 6 music is about immigration

How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!?

The obsession of 6 Music news on immigration and asylum is frankly bizarre

The biggest tell that someone is a dullard is having no favorite bands or movies or some form of entertainment. It's how you know those "grindset" types are the dumbest fucks on the planet. They have no interests. They are literally the NPCs they bitch about. You're a cog in the shit machine
The JCO post about Elon not liking anything is something I've said before about a lot of politics poisoned posting addicts. People who never once post about a band they like or anything at all. There are so many like that.

I thought the nadir of my weekend would be accidentally mildly poisoning myself with insecticide but then I watched that Man City match and now I'm nostalgic for that hour I spent in the bathroom

Out this evening at the theatre. Intrigued to know what the middle-aged themes are.
