The BBC forced out Gary Lineker, a far more successful and appealing sports presenter, over far less than this

really think this is yank brain, because they're always catching domestic flights

most influential artist of my lifetime and I don't think there's even a debate?

"Ayo cortisol spike!" yelps the broccoli haired boy standing next to me in the spear line.

I turn to ask what the fuck he's talking about... as I do so my torso twists apart from my shoulder to my navel.

I've been clovenmogged in twain by a zweihander-maxxing man at arms.

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

I think about this one all the time

this was the exact incident I was thinking of, yup

also I kind of think that doing this kind of showboating can be an effective tactic? because it can completely rattle your opponent and make them make stupid mistakes

we could solve all these problems by letting these kids drink

didn't realise you were actually Jan's burner account

ignoring the logistical issues with this, love the idea that these lorries would somehow be immune to being bombed

he can chair a meeting

there was a great problem with this at uni where the fencing team wanted to buy some kit that was out of budget - so the obvious way to do it was to underspend one year and then buy it the year after, but if we did that our budget would be cut, so it was functionally impossible

obviously a minor point, but what the hell was going on with fashion in argentina in 2010. why does every player have the worst possible ponytail

We need a name for this, something like vice-signalling, where people, usually in or around tech or finance, claim to do some quirky bullshit that patently doesn't work just so they can post about it to build their personal brand.

can he play the CB/LW combo i specialise in though?

a thought I had on this bit - does this give them an advantage as a selling club, since it means that it's more obvious how their talent can take a step up to a CL club as they already play a more similar style than other mid-table clubs?

There is absolutely zero explanation for hitting targets like this unless your objective is to destroy any possibility of normal life and produce mass civilian death. Completely unjustifiable and another war crime. We saw this thirty years ago in Iraq.

a very funny thing about Bethell's centuries is that none of them have mattered.
test & t20 centuries were both in defeats.
the ODI century we set 445 and South Africa were all out for 72, so I think we could have scored a fair bit less and still won

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

gotten to the point where I've emailed my MP so many times that when I type "Dear Mr" my phone suggests his surname as the next word 👍

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

By awarding that peace prize to Trump - which it did as no more than a cash grab - FIFA created an obligation to speak on politics all the time. Problem of its own making and which it probably didn’t anticipate.

Dear @lucympowell.bsky.social,

I have enjoyed our exchange of letters about which of our parties is best placed to stop Reform. Hannah Spencer MP and I trust that you agree that this question has now been resolved once and for all.

Thanks,
