Friend first, front-end developer second. Probably entertainer third.

The Trump Canada/Greenland thing is a great example of why we on the Left feel so bereft of hope.

*WE* win an election (here in UK) and Lefty policies get diluted or abandoned.

*Trump* wins an election & before he's even in office he's pushing *the* most radicalised, bat-shit policy... 1/n

It’s a shame that James Corden is such an insufferable tool because he writes a hell of a sitcom. Lovely end to a great series.

Amen. Days like today are miserable (and I assume doubly so for matchgoers if the weather was anything like it’s been here today) but far too many are completely losing the run of themselves after every setback. We’re rebuilding, it’s very early in that rebuild, cool heads needed.
United are being undone by a combination of bad luck followed by catastrophic head-loss. Their actual play, structure and chance creation have all improved massively under Amorim. Just needs to sort their heads out (difficult) and wait for the luck to turn (inevitable). In time, it'll come good.

Really fed up of anti-trans cunts like Joe Rogan, Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle, JK Rowling and Elon Musk going on about cancel culture whilst never having their views silenced or challenged in the mainstream, whilst trans people constantly have their minimal levels of representation removed.

There will never be a better time to play City but I am absolutely dreading the derby at the weekend.

Not deliberately? They're not up there to farm are they

If I was good at photoshop or whatever I would currently be posting an image of Arteta mocked up as Kylo Ren looking at Darth Vader’s helmet but instead of Darth Vader’s helmet it’s Tony Pulis’ baseball cap

Feel like that was basically fine? Could have done with a bit more in the final third, but containing them very well so far, just need a few less corners please

Dear @keirstarmer2.bsky.social,

Please move the laws around political & campaign financing to the top of your list

Or…

Expect 1 term that ends in handing power of this country to a foreign billionaire proxy PM and his little puppet

Yours,

The people of this country paying attention.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Day Of The Jackal is excellent and only being able to watch one episode per week is a living nightmare.

People only say “Die Hard is a Christmas movie” in lieu of having a personality.
Here is a test for the civility on BlueSky:

A movie cannot be a Christmas movie unless Christmas plays a central mechanism in the transition of the narrative from A to B.

So Die Hard is clearly NOT a Christmas movie because Christmas changes nothing in the story.

The key for this place is how it reacts to live sport. Threads was horrendous as a second screen because the timeline is so messed up. Twitter still does it best unfortunately, let’s see how the weekend goes.
