Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 8hTelegraph have 'revealed' City's 'comprehesive body of irrefutable evidence' is already dismissed statements & witness testimony that will prove that Sheikh Mansour, the current Vice President & Deputy PM of the UAE is a completely separate entity than the government of the UAE. This is his wiki... 100

Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Starmer feeling he needed to tie his relatability onto what was by all accounts a difficult and pained relationship with his late father is very 0171
Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Not really mentioned is how Lonesome Dove was a product of the publishing world of the 1980s, where serialised pulp Cowboys Vs Indians novels were still popular. Mens tastes have since changed rather than simply not being catered for 000
Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Simply saying Lorena, Clara, and Elmira are "sharply written" is another a giveaway. Clara is the vehicle through which McMurtry delivers the book's best passage, where Call is chastised for his sentimentality for the dead enabling him to run away from his obligations to the living. 100
Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This is imo the giveaway that he didn't read it. Newt is a more significant character in the book than Pea Eye - Call's refusal to own up to being his father is juxtaposed against his superhuman ability to kill "all the interesting people left in the country" as Gus said 100
Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Actual journalists believing City players and Maresca should show "contrition" in their celebrations after beating Liverpool 3-0... 110
Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 11/10/2026And just to remind you, your original argument was that City players' reaction to beating Liverpool 3-0 made Liverpool players' defence of Suarez look good by comparison. That was your argument 000
Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The movement is in pretty good condition all things considered, it's not running, will need a new balance, but there's no visible signs of rust 040

Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This isn't a particularly bad article on the subject, but it's kind of amazing how this conversation even needs to be had. Fans do not care about anything other than their team winning football matches. This clip remains the last word on morality in football 46611
Ciaran @ciaranmcgurdy.bsky.social · 05/10/2026What I dislike the most about welfare discourse is many journalists see that 30bn and assume large number = fraud, or in this case large number = generous. But the actual evidence says successive governments are making disabled people's lives miserable in pursuit of these incorrect assumptions 000
