Not here for anything in particular, you'll just have to go with vibes (although films [movies], motorsport, politics, and culture seem to come up a lot.)
In the specific case of Sainsburys I genuinely shop there less now because prices are so complicated.
Every “brand”: Engage with me. Engage with me!
Every consumer: <shrugs> I might buy your stuff from time to time, but other than that I wish you’d just leave me alone…

I replaced an image of Jesus with a mocked up image Harry Kane as Jesus. Harry Christ has been hanging on our wall since September and my wife hasn't noticed

It occurred to me yesterday when I was thinking about a job advert that Sir Keir Starmer would be incredible in government if he was in the *Whitehall* part of Government.

Ferrari "surprised" no-one else is interested in their endless whining (and I'm getting to the point I might stop even looking at S365 because they really need to do something else instead of discussing discussions about BoP)
Ferrari’s global head of endurance Antonello Coletta has expressed “surprise” that none of the other manufacturers in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s Hypercar class backed its proposal to scrap the current Balance of Performance system.

The biggest mistake that guy who flew too close from the sun made was that he wanted to experience flying for himself. He would probably still be alive if he just experienced it through his father icariously

In *my* defence, I hadn't seen the statement from the PM of Denmark when I wrote this.
OK then scolds of Bluesky, can you explain to me *which* G7 leader should have threatened international retaliation against Trump, exactly?

Ok, here's a radical proposal for the press: if you post a fucking stupid headline outside your paywall, I do not pay money to find out why you posted a fucking stupid headline on a decent article.
Instead, I simply assume you are fucking stupid.

Sure, because Canada is living under a dictator and has no chance of a free election nor any chance of support from the G7, yep. Totally the same as Venezuela in all ways. Yupper. Mm hmm.

The thing about Christmas University Challenge is the celebs all have much more confident and freely-speaking "oh you fucking clown" faces when one loses five points for an incorrect interruption.

Words matter: The last time the US Congress formally declared war was 1942.
Every war since has either been authorised by Congress (inc. Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq) or authorised by the UN and funded by Congress (inc. Korea, Libya), with some other strikes etc done under presidential authority.

I also love how you all think a SCIF is somehow like a five-star conference suite at all times.
Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping.
Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

Good to see our great new hope is out of the traps early with a fucking absurd take.
Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it
