Exactly nobody who went to my school was remotely surprised by this. The man in question had been removed from regular contact with u16s at least a decade before, and had managed to get himself put in charge of 'discipline' there before the law against corporal punishment caught up with him

Congrats to Erling Haaland, who of course many in this part of the world will remember from his earlier pre-football career as one of the Bash Street Kids

That's not how you spell "fat friendless drug addict born-rich talentless Apartheid kid with the intellect of an out-of-date gas-station shit sandwich"

Funny enough my cousin who is a Scottish rugby person accidentally posted this 104-year-evergreen banger only an hour before you said that

How am I 0% surprised to discover that Paddy Cosgrave's international wanker festival Web Summit had a paedo-friendly eugenecist and literal pal of Jeffrey Epstein on stage within the last six months? www.codastory.com/authoritaria...
quotation: In 2008, when Epstein told Goertzel he was “off to jail” for a year, after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution, Goertzel suggested the solution to his problems might one day be solved if human brains could be re-programmed. "According to my understanding, the girls you were involved with were old enough to know what they were doing, so society really has no ‘moral right’ to lock you up,” Goertzel wrote to Epstein.

I literally used to write and then read radio news, and now people are surprised that these days I can mostly not be arsed to watch or read the news (It's not because of bad news. It's because every radio and tv news option available to me is incompetent shit from posh kids who did unpaid intern)

I mean if it's penguins he wants... has he ever heard of the Falkland Islands? We'd not suggest it, but Brexit, so fuck you

If you are close to my age and male and don't have a copy of this then we are statistically almost certainly not friends

Thanks phone google news screen. Not going to click on this shit, but will instead just assume they all said 'dump that shit directly into the green waste bin'. Yay! Chefs agree that I and my ~17% of literally everybody who can actually taste this cancer are forever vindicated

Honestly if this doesn't entirely excuse an extrajudicial shotgun to the face then I'm not sure I even know what America is any more

The site of the Glastonbury Festival, placed over a map of Cork City, covers the entire city centre and then also, additionally, an area 200% larger than the entire city centre

When one day I have disposable income for the first time in 20-odd years, I think I might actually spend obviously-too-much money on this keycap set for the TKL keyboard I received as an Xmas present #bbcmicro yuzukeycaps.com/c/a1f15857-7...
A mechanical keyboard keycap set, in the same colours as a 1981 Acorn BBC Micro

Are you people joking me today with this "let's tell the entire internet a piece of the info required to hack the shit out of all my accounts" thing?

The presiding officer of the main house of parliament here in Ireland signed off its last session yesterday in Irish, before it was dissolved today for a general election. TOP MARKS to this machine translation server's attempt at converting his last words into English. It's wrong, but it's better.
The Irish version just says thank you and the 34th Dáil is adjourned "sine die" (indefinitely)This robo-translation didn't notice that "sine die" is an unquoted Latin phrase, and rewrites the relevant sentence as "Finally the old man died"

Know this: each and every one of the bankers who've lost shitloads of money personally on this will be waiting for Musk in the long grass for the rest of his fucking life. He will NEVER be able to do another debt-financed deal again and is basically 200% *fucked* in the long run. Ah well

Interesting way of phrasing "we've lost all of GenX and everyone younger, forever" but you do you, entire literally-dying grifter narcissist hate cult that probably only existed in the first place because of leaded petrol
