iPods were a great product that only died because they couldn't figure out a way to insert ads into your own music.

Odegaard and Havertz have collectively played 300 fewer Premier League minutes this season than Guehi and Semenyo have *for Man City*.

Arsenal 2025/26.

Alexander Isak has more Premier League starts, appearances and minutes this season than Kai Havertz.

Barcelona bribed the ref to give Van Persie that second yellow at Camp Nou

starmer starmed his last starm. this is the most back we have ever been.

i love starting with "lots of strange reactions to this game" and following that up with the strangest reaction yet

"men don't gush over cute kids" is like the most insane thing I've ever read

Average new UK electric car price is now lower than petrol vehicles Autotrader says average EV cost is £785 cheaper, in an important milestone in the move away from fossil fuels

Forget "total cost of ownership." In the UK, the average EV is now cheaper than the average ICE vehicle, up front. Sticker cost.

And of course the savings just keep accumulating after that.

Man, the whole "anti-woke" moral panic just looks worse & worse in the rearview mirror.

GET HIS ASS

And the fun part is that *everybody knows this*.

Yeah well, we can’t have an inquiry into that because it’ll swiftly become apparent it was just Peter hooking Morgan up with undeclared millionaire bungs and Steve Reed drafting smeary dossiers on colleagues and passing them to Peter’s friends at the Times. And that’s just for starters, in 2018.

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

Do I hear the distant sound of Chaos with Ed Miliband??

Again: the political theory underpinning the democratic strategy was that there are more votes to be won from republican-leaning voters by tacking towards Trump on policy than lost from those to your left. This political theory turned out to be untrue. You can either learn from that or not.

Ed Miliband being mentioned seriously as a candidate for PM, Francois Hollande running for President again. The piss weak social democrats of 2012 are back and they're turning up the volume!

i love how starmer sucks so hard he's actually below the line.

BREAKING: Starmer has "fucked it", said by Downing Street to be "in bits".

dragon-in-a-fez on tumblr: "keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it"

Weak, pathetic, sneaky, snide, obvious

lol lmao

"Sorry just going to have to stop you there. Commons etiquette dictates that you can't say mean things about the man bullshitting to the entire country. Now please say sorry to noble sir Keir."

You understand the utility of having Corbyn in parliament so long as Starmer is PM because he is *fuming* whenever he has to answer a question from him. Properly haunts him that he couldn't oust him last election.

lol yup

If you think this is bad, the stat alongside it in the piece is worse for Gyokeres.

I'm somewhat ambivalent on the "not accusing members of lying" rule. It can be farcical, but think attaching a light cost to it allows it to maintain a bit of power when MPs do accept that cost and refuse to retract. But I do always find it weird how *angry* Hoyle gets about it.

Sure but: do we all get that it was Mandelson who hired Sir Keir, and not the other way around? There’s corruption because Peter had *for years* been leading a secret party-within-a-party, and it looks like everyone who matters played along with it, whether knowingly or unwittingly.

The reason this crisis is rumbling on and will continue to do so is that Starmer can't say the basic truth, which is that he appointed Mandelson for services rendered and they thought his association with Epstein was a bonus.
