There's a weird left-QAnon thing starting up centered around dubious claims about the 2024 results popping up at the periphery of the internet. I feel like we're gonna hear more and more about this so just laying down my understanding of it now.
I think its basically a hoax.

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening:
“Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.”
She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

I have just pivoted from Fleetwood Mac's excellent 'Tango in the Night' to 2 Unlimited on my Spotify and I have absolutely no intentions of apologising for this.

Dress like it's a funeral. Everyone in black. Women wear the black hats with the veil. Men with black ties. Stand up and look at the floor while he speaks, and recite the Lord's Prayer over and over (or variants thereof for other religions) at a volume not too loud, but not whispering. He'll hate it

@reluctantnicko.bsky.social Evening, Al. With A.Wharton's excellent performance for CP tonight, do you happen to know what the sell-on clause was when he was signed from Rovers? Great work on the Ismael scoop, thank you.

"And there he was at lunchtime,
He ordered some French fries,
And fancied a plate of fish fingers,
Dipping his fries in his sauce,
Masticate slowly 'cos he was...
Masticate slowly 'cos he was...
Eating at lunchtime whilst he was...
Eating it slowly... at his work"

A whole bunch of gammon piling in on #FiveGuysUK today for the one - yes just one - restaurant adopting a Halal friendly menu in a market area where it makes absolute sense. Good news for them is gammon wouldn't be welcome there anyway.
