Everyone loves it when a big lad throws a dummy and puts the afterburners on to go over. #irevwal

This is either going to win or finish last, but fuck me it's good fun

Seriously, what the HELL happened? The 80s were a fucked-up time in many ways, but anyone who said that Floella Benjamin and Lenny Henry weren't British would have been laughed out of the room.

Been feeling a bit down lately but the sunset tonight and being able to read in the conservatory after work has reminded me that the best things in life are relatively inexpensive.

There’s a 6music trailer for Cerys Matthews and every time she says β€œI cast a net”, my brain has her doing a bit of flamenco dancing with her castanets.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

I don’t want to make this over complicated but it would be fantastic if this also worked on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Absolutely bang on by @jonathanliew.bsky.social

The Mail calls out racism on its back page, while promoting unsubstantiated, outright racism on its front page.

This might end up to be a terrible thing to put in text but I said to my Leeds supporting friend on Wednesday that I felt that Leeds might get something from the match tonight.

What’s really striking in Saruman’s speech to Gandalf is how broadly (and unusually for Tolkien) relevant it is. Take out the one specific reference to the Elves and NΓΊmenor and it is just an absolute classic rationale for collaborating with evil in the confidence you can ultimately direct it.

I hope Adam doesn’t mind the quote.

What saved the world during Covid was GOOD science. Hydroxychloroquine - rubbished. PCR false positives - rubbished. Casedemics - rubbished. Herd immunity- rubbished.

Science ain’t perfect but it still works.

I replaced my car’s split wiper blades at the weekend, and that first wipe with the new blades is quite something isn’t it?

You say that, but I replaced the wiper blades on my car at the weekend, and that first wipe with new blades is quite the rush.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

The strangest thing to me about this house is that because of the complete lack of anything aside from tarmac out front, it looks like it’s from a model railway set.

England driving me to drink today. This is a worse performance so far than the one against Scotland. At least we could make tackles in midfield last week. #engvire

I was a late comer to Zombies Run and have just come to the Canada episode. Margaret Atwood’s turn is gloriously bonkers.

Well done Bruce Mouat and the boys. Brave strategy got the win there. Absolutely no one predicted that draw from out wide.
