Moose continues to show that creativity is at its best when it is at its simplest. I hope he doesn’t think this is anything other than a compliment.
A brand new cartoon I thought of this morning that might appeal to the golf-playing Alan Carr fan in your life (is it you?)

Maybe I’m just getting old or maybe football is boring me senseless but I very rarely last 90 minutes these days. I want TF to do well but I’m just so bored of it all. My season ticket days feel a very long time ago

Name a movie quote that people almost always quote incorrectly.
Ferris: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Silly people: Life comes at you fast

I played against someone who had Partey and Greenwood in his team on FIFA last week and it made me feel sick. Greenwood to Spurs simply cannot happen

The News Agents are like some year 9 social studies project. Some wide eyed kids talking about Trump’s fascism as if it’s all still hypothetical
"Rather than talking about what's going wrong at the moment, everybody's talking about whether he will – or whether he can – run for a third term."
Why Donald Trump wants everyone focused on whether he's planning to stay in the White House after 2028

Why it suits Trump to plot a third term as president | The News Agents
Donald Trump continues to talk about the idea of a third term as president, even though it goes against the constitution. If he knows it’ll never happen, why does it suit him to keep the idea alive?

I really don’t like this idea. They’ve been over platformed for so long their abhorrence has become legitimised. The mask slipping doesn’t matter - look at Trump. We need to stop pandering to these twats. Put them back in the corner with the dunce’s hat on.
This might be controversial…
But given that the more Reform talks, the more the mask slips
I say…
Give them the limelight.

The More Reform Talks, the More the Mask Slips. So I Say… Give Them the Limelight.
And as Caerphilly showed, let more of the public see that the supposed groundswell of support for Reform is nothing but Farage’s cigarette smoke and mirrors.

Related, there’s a proud tradition of fascism within nature writing. Tarka the Otter and the purity of the English countryside, etc
this is an overtly fascist narrative - even the misreading of myth & literature is on brand

I’m old enough to remember when Zack Polanski was shouting from the rooftops at 77,000. That was last month. Genuine momentum for hope over fear.
🚨BREAKING : The Green Party has passed 150,000 members 🥳
Thousands are joining right now to help us replace Labour and take the fight to Reform.
Are you in?
Make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now ⤵️

I really, really want Frank to give Archie Gray 10 games alongside Palhinha. His skillset is probably similar to Bentancur, but he is so much braver on the ball and is the future of the team. Just put him in and let him grow with the team. I could get behind that because it would represent a plan

When the clocks change, these games will be kicking off at midnight for me. Not sure I’ll be staying up to watch. Getting a bit antsy at our lack of cohesion or plan

An Echo Of Glory went hard on Odobert and Vicario this week. Much of their criticism often relies on ‘can’t think of when they’ve done something good’, which is not ideal if you’re gonna set yourselves up as voices of authority

Incredible article that for some reason spends half of it attack Zack Polanski, a Jewish politician. Wonder if they’ll be any acknowledgement of how badly judged this was or it’ll just be another big important opinion that we all quietly pretend never happened
