good lord, for a moment I thought Nuzzi was banging Roboute Guilliman as well...
I regret to inform you that Olivia Nuzzi's book appears to be Perfect

insane, stupid, comically overwritten, dishy, politically indefensible I cannot wait to get my hands on it I must accept this is who I am as a person at some deep level whether I like it or not www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...

right, that's 2 tickets for the last 16 round of the Croky Cup (Belgium FA Cup equivalent) secured for just €10 (for both). cannot stress how much this is how it should be.

Somebody is briefing the Times that the Home Secretary finds inspiration in Kristi Noem's leading the Trump mass deportation effort - which has gone much too far for Americans

Imagine buying a magazine today? Honestly you’d feel like A BOSS

So, with that in mind i want to give a Saturday shout out to @raremags.bsky.social who not only have our latest issue but also a bewilderingly good selection of other stuff, so let’s have a look & see what I want to read…

One of those magazines that does exactly what it sets out to do, no messing around, cramming every page full of what they want in the magazine and nothing else. Tabletop gaming, but now with added fil...

every single thing "Your Party" seem to do now I just hear Ini Kamoze in my head barking 'here come the rake stepper'
Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.

Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

ok, serious Q here, anyone have a spare half a million?

there's an auction at Christie's next month with both J.R.R. Tolkien's desk AND the original John Blanche artwork for the 1st edition of Warhammer & I promise you we would be wonderful stewards of these items

It’s wild, I talk to my nieces and nephews and others that age and they just have no comprehension, zero understanding of what it was like supporting an England football team for the first roughly three quarters of my life. I guess this is just the new normal now but it’s still fucking weird

One of the artists I used to manage has a new EP out today, lush dreamy cosmic pop, been waiting for lucid dreamer to be released for about 6 years now, glad it’s finally emerged. Anyway, heres’s something gently numinous to start your day with

“Hi, I’m a NY Times writer, yes since you asked both my parents names are hyperlinked on Wikipedia, anyway here’s why you’re a naive fucking fool & worse still insufferably gauche for questioning our reporting” really seems to be working for a load of people today

tiresome but I could really go for a bit on discogs for black metal and dungeon synth labels, which makes it very clear if they're bad sorts or not. quite tedious having to do deepinvestigative research on labels to make sure you're not about to platform some absolute wrong un

not entirely sure why the EU is about to sell out its citizens to companies who are essentially part of a semi-hostile state, though I'm sure the answer could be found in an audit of several people's bank accounts

ahhh, something I particularly enjoy about Belgium is when useful services like post offices close for lunch, really gives Bruxelles a homely, provincial village vibe rather than say being the capital of Europe 😑

There are many not smart things I’ve done since I started publishing wyrd science but I didn’t think running a jokey giveaway on Bluesky would somehow turn out to be amongst them 🤔

humanoid robots as a branch of tech are so funny because it's been what 13, more maybe?, years since Boston Dynamics unveiled Atlas, and here we are
Russia presented its human-like AI robot. It fell down as it walked onto the stage.

just noticed BBC News using an AI generated image to illustrate a story and, lads, I cannot tell you what an absolutely fucking terrible idea that is, especially right now.
