Content, baking, miserable music and Saints FC, for more misery.
Town
Southampton have done it! They are OFFICIALLY not the worst team in Premier League history!

26 shots for Man City and only 0.11 xG for Saints, but the point is all that matters!

This is where your Harry Potter money goes
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

We don't know what Elon Musk meant with that hand gesture but we do know he's reinstated Hitler apologists on X, praised an extreme far-right German political party and endorsed the claim that Jews push "hatred against whites" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Antisemitism was rising online. Then Elon Musk’s X supercharged it.
Antisemitism has long festered on the internet, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels.

Officially retired the old baking blog today. Hadn't updated it in about 3 years, so it was pretty overdue, but oddly feels like the delayed end of an era.

Is this Juric saying ‘none of the strikers at this club are even worth putting on the pitch’? Or is he just clutching at straws, already.
#SaintsFC team v Swansea: Ramsdale, Bree, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Manning, Ugochukwu, Aribo, Fernandes, Dibling, Kamaldeen

Intense desire to see Onuachu score a goal for us before he leaves. #saintsfc

Really, really, wanted it to work for Martin at saints. Genuinely likeable person. Did wonders to change the atmosphere post relegation. Poor summer recruitment not helped him.

But he also couldn’t organise a defence whatsoever. Even in the championship. So it’s not really surprising. #saintsfc

No huge surprise, other than a lack of The Hotelier, who I binged a lot ahead of Outbreak. Also surprised at no Drug Church.

Basically listened to that one Los Campesinos album a lot.

We had a holiday to Dublin cancelled the other week because of Gatwick being evacuated. Admiral, our shitty travel insurance, have said they won’t pay out because that type of cancellation isn’t valid.

Great. Thanks.

Very pleased to have another social media app to not post on very much, but remain seriously online.
