So many of us are now textual Case Pollards, physically averse to pre-digested, mass extruded machine verbiage just as William Gibson's Pattern Recognition protagonist was made physically sick by fashion and brands.

in seasons past, i found the international break a bit of a bore, left a MOTD-sized hole in the weekends.

now i'm relieved for 2 weeks of not actively coming to terms with Spurs' impending relegation 🫣

user abbiistabbii: The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing. Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour. It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words!

That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go

It promotes a growth mindset!!

one of those days where you can't see Fromme/Grouse from Central Lonsdale

2026 has given me a glorious chance to fix one of the biggest regrets of my life—i will soon be able to order a Brighton and Hove Albion Pascal Groß jersey 😮‍💨

2025 has taken many things out to pasture—some deservedly—but the pollution of the em-dash by hallucinating word statistic bots is the real dagger.

going to have to go deep. time to get behind the interrobang‽

just took 29 damage turn 2 on the draw in pioneer after casting a counterspell, AMA 😵‍💫

when you put it like that....

1. Information thread for other Canadian small business owners. A few years ago, our payment processor, Desjardins, was acquired by Global Payments, and after a brief honeymoon, our monthly fees went up...and up...and up...and UP, until it was the single biggest expense after rent and paycheques.

what if the reason whales don't like ferry noise is because of all the fucking car alarms

same here, i had to venture out in search of saison last night to mitigate the pain. i’m glad you’re still around and making saison (and the rest of the euro classics) without compromise. i will keep buying them! i will buy all the saison you make!!!

yes b'y

TFW the second-last game on Match of the Day is a nil-nil.... 🫠

for me, they are in the category of "bands where one album, somewhat unlike the rest of their output, really grabs me (and nothing else)". which aint terrible to have for a few.

there is no ethical consumption under….uh….technocratism?

nothing wrong with the blem OR the blur!!!

i forgot about Björk. this is reprehensible. but we can only go forward in life <queues furiously>
