@pftompkins.bsky.social I want you to know how much the OCD episode of The Great North, and your part in it, means to sufferers (or this one, anyway). ‘Buddy, you suck’ is becoming a useful mantra.

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards.
Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

Tom Wagner said something yesterday that I don’t agree with. www.ntt20.com/p/trickle-down-economics-wont-help-eft

Trickle-down economics won’t help the EFL
Birmingham City owner Tom Wagner says big clubs “have to be protected at all costs”, in order to help the pyramid. I’ll believe that when I see it.

The transfer window is the biggest event in football these days. It's fun to cover, but I can't help but relate with @huwdavies.bsky.social's question here. (NTT20 newsletter)

Discovered that my knee is not in fact recovered when I had to crouch to sit for a kids’ event, lost my balance, put my whole weight on it and educated a few under-6s by involuntarily shouting, “ARGH JESUS FUCK”

If the permabanned list didn’t have Pulp on it, this whole thing would pretty much be perfect (and this is a Sheffield pub so maybe it’s just an overplay thing)

I reckon 2024 is the second election in a row to have been won by obviously malicious frauds shitehoused to power by Britain’s appalling media outlets, and the second one running where the new government made it embarrassingly obvious to everyone straight away that this is what happened.

Brandon Austin will play his first competitive match for Spurs tomorrow, having been there since he was a child, and he turns 26 next week. The most ridiculous part is that it’ll be his 20th senior appearance anywhere, ever, and his first since 2021. TWENTY-SIX years old, with 20 career appearances.
