Man in a gilet stood on platform 12 gives up on reading the display and asks ChatGPT out loud if he is on the right platform for his train. I don’t want to be dramatic about it but Eratosthenes figured out the circumference of the Earth using a stick and knowledge of a distant well.

Claire Hardaker is an incredible forensic linguist, so naturally they’d want to exclude her. Good grief.

The Department of Education has been incentivizing people to switch out of the SAVE plan and onto a more expensive plan. They said they would reduce your interest rate by 1% if you enroll in autopay by Sep 30th. But they just extended the deadline to Dec 31. This was a trick.

Cars are so expensive. Unfortunately, living in rural Scotland they’re pretty close to necessary. Took mine in for MOT + service and came to £724. In what world is that affordable to anyone on the average salary? Blah.

You hear rumors about this happening and think, surely the front office isn’t dumb enough to sell the club’s most popular player. Without a send off for the fans. After selling their best player with no replacement After selling their starting 9 with no replacement

The transfer window closes Sept. 2. This FO has until then to show this fanbase that it's serious about competing this season and not just using this as a year to get rid of the previous regime's players. Meaningful acquisitions must be made or the backlash will be rightfully severe.

If he was so well-respected by the front office, they’d have started the extension talks right away and signed him. Our most talented, well-rounded player with the entire fanbase behind him. Shocking behaviour from the front office. You can’t tell me we couldn’t have afforded what San Jose paid.

Ian @eazybreezymac.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Utterly despicable from the front office. In the middle of an unbeaten run, pushing for Open Cup silverware, and to the guy who STL fans have rallied behind since Day 1. And the amount SJ paid…you’re telling me we can’t afford THAT?! This franchise just alienated most of the fanbase for a pittance.
