Ever wonder what it would do to UK politics if 109 clubs’ fans had a reason to hate the PM? We might be about to find out

Yeah alright, they built a new training campus, Co-op Live, whatever, so: Who gained the most from those developments? Where did the money go, and when? How much of it was funnelled back into the club? It's like no one told him he should probably read the PL's ruling before running his mouth

Something quite funny about how Burnham claims the owners helped "build modern Manchester." City was a good investment because the most important bit of infrastructure - the stadium - was already there *and was funded by the council*

Obviously I looked up the biggest chains in the country, didn't I. Greggs second, of course, but Costa wins because it has 14,000 of those machines?? I don't think I have ever, in my life, seen someone use one

Frankly, now that the Stilton Bake is back at Greggs I don't see how any Yank brand has a chance in the UK. It is the greatest pastry this country has ever produced

Why did the Holy Spirit not tell Guehi that Lamine Yamal was on his shoulder? Has he strayed from God's light?

Funny outcome if City get all their trophies rescinded between 2009 and 2018 is that it still means United and Liverpool have the same number of titles. Perch intact

Went to Critical Mass last night and my suspicions should have been raised about the vibes when a guy with a mullet sitting in a cargo bike hold called me a "silly cunt" for not running a red light on Blackfriars Bridge and it was like mate, you're the one sitting where a Dutch child should be

I do usually love doing the armchair thing of being like "This is stupid, here is the obvious way to fix it that none of you rubes thought of" online, that's what websites like this are for, but whenever I sit and think about how you Fix the BBC my head just fills with static

It seems like Al is doing the hits on this tour which is great of course but I don't think anything could top this tour he did in 2022 where he just played originals including a 20-minute version of "Albuquerque" and a harpsichord solo

They should strike because if there was no coverage at all, on any Beeb service, from 3 to 5 on a Saturday there’d be more complaints than they’ve ever seen before

There's a podcast festival happening this weekend in Ibiza which is, you know, cool man. I can't remember not being in debt so I'm glad someone's still making money off this thing

This would be the same Tonty Blair: - Whose daughter-in-law runs the UK's AI fund - Who shills for Larry Ellison to the tune of £100 mil for the TBI - Which is advocating for shoving AI into developing countries that have no infrastructure for it - As well as into the NHS, who don't want it

Obviously an enormous proponent for the breakup of the United Kingdom but we absolutely cannot have a Welsh one without NI and Scotland winning theirs first. Suspect that momentum is the only way "Yes" would win in Wales and I could not live with the embarrassment of the other two leaving without us

Your boyfriend’s got one of those visualisers that plugs into a record player. It shows a sort of dot-matrix waveform thing, he’s explaining. He might get a big “Now Playing” stand for LPs just to add a little cherry on top of the ugliest fucking setup you’ve ever seen

The thing with that Anthropic guy quitting is that I'm not particularly inclined to take the word of a guy who's been enthusiastically drinking the GenAI Kool-Aid for three years and is only *now* getting cold feet. It was evil then too!

I love re-upping this: for decades the main library at UCLA had the generic name University Research Library because the person most responsible for getting it built was an English professor named Hugh G. Dick and the university refused to name it after him.

Appreciate the happiness going around this evening but it would take seeing a grainy picture of Farage, possibly taken using a crane, in the yard at HMP Pentonville for me to believe he can actually face consequences for anything
