I miss the days when FIFA made a perfunctory effort to hide how corrupt they were.

When everything in the world is bad, at least we can still all laugh at Manchester Utd

In the same way that children who harm animals sometimes turn out to be serial killers as adults, this kind of anodyne, gently incorrect take is a warning sign that the poster might be an embryonic Matthew Yglesias.
Man you guys gotta be more normal about the one guy on your train not wearing headphones, it's annoying but it's not, like, a decay of society level issue.

Not sure why you're publishing press releases on behalf of Matt Forde, but anything that hinders his fucking awful show (that is inexplicably still being made?!) is a good thing.

Man who wrote new James Bond books after the original author had died: "I cannot think of a single way that the character of James Bond can continue".
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

What a weird, obnoxious post
AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

Keir Starmer and Barney Ronay to join forces and demand that this match be played, with no fan restrictions and ideally at Villa Park
Israeli Police announce they have canceled a derby match between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv that was set to take place tonight in the city’s Bloomfield Stadium, when fans began to riot.

The main story on BBC Sport is an article on how Jonjo Shelvey left Newcastle to move to Dubai because he thinks London has too much crime, with a very thinly-veiled "there's too many foreigners in the UK" tone to it all.

Not for the first time, fuck the BBC.

Man it would be awkward if she'd expressed support for his policy of murdering people in fishing boats. Really awkward. I sure hope that isn't the case.
I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

If Celtic drop points today then Hearts fans might start experiencing the worst feeling in football: hope.

To understand the Will Jacks selection for England's Ashes side, you have to realise that he has a certain set of intangibles that neither Jack Leach or Rehan Ahmed possess.

American conservatives are treating Kirk like this generation's Martin Luther King, when he's actually this generation's Deep Throat
September 13, 2025 at 9:34 PM
So, nothing they didn't already want to do anyway then?
pretty astonishing to see people celebrating Charlie Kirk getting shot when this is the dominant reaction on X, and it will only continue to grow over the next few days
