Do people go on all the other social media sites to try and badger them into returning to Twitter or is it just here?

Wanted to be a world-class leg spinner, so I reckon "following the dream" would have run out of road long before it affected my life

look, I'm sure having Sally Hawkins and Rosamund Pike attached is how that film gets made but you could at least have acknowledged the reality that the strike was led by middle-aged women who'd been in the union for decades via the mentor character - why does it have to be Bob Hoskins?!

It's always interesting to note which murderous authoritarian regimes in the Middle East count as "friends" and which are "evil", isn't it?

Think that's true. But if we're all sat in away ends having the time of our lives it's equally a stretch to have us as poor innocent victims at this point

Sceptical it would go any different if we did have any power either way? (And isn't calling the whole thing kayfabe essentially the same? No one is an innocent victim of kayfabe, are they? Just playing their part)

Lots of us didn't do enough about that either and gave the CEO a pass because they liked what happened on the pitch 🤷

City fans are no worse than anyone else's in this regard, but people have to stop with the "poor, innocent, let down fans" shit. Lots of supporters are very much "bring it on" for all the bullshit that got us here

Gotta laugh at all the sky sports commentators talking about the "innocence" of the fans, like loads of them didn't lap up every single second, every fraudulent £ spent, go to bat for their autocrat owners over and over again, put out banners for their fucking barrister etc.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

It's so silly that Luke Shaw can lose his temper over a fair tackle, get up, charge aggressively over to Bentancur, shove him over, get into his face yelling and the latter getting up and nudging his head into him with negligible force is the red card offence.

MD #6 Ipswich Town v Fulham 2-1 I have become a disembodied cloud of ecstatic joy and will now float home #itfc

Queue to get through security, can see the back of the West Stand, the back of lots of men's heads, a seagull is flying against a background of clouds.

Players applauding the north stand at full time, on the edge of the penalty area. Three stewards in high Vis guarding them

my confidence in the media and political class engaging in the required resistance (ie. recognising that one tiny inch of movement here slides us back deep into racial essentialism) is ... not high.

they segued gracefully from "you shouldn't be fired for being gender critical" to "shouldn't women have their own spaces?" to "can women have penises?" to "biological men" to "trans inclusion is illegal". They're rolling out "don't English people have a right to an ethnic identity?" as we speak

Jack Saundrs @jacksaundrs.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

yes, the broad common sense is against Dorries/Braverman, sees English as a multi-racial nationality, but not so confident that it's unassailable by the usual national media campaign of indulging, fluffing, then mooing and shrieking and we won't be sat here in two years lamenting this lost consensus

I'm delighted to share our schedule for the autumn for the Anthropocene Histories seminar at UCL. Poster attached, but I will put details and links to specific event pages below. Please share widely!

poster image: black with white text and the iconic photo, "Earthrise". The Eart is offset slightly to the right. Dates and details for three seminars are on the Term 1 schedule, but it makes much more sense to share them in the subsequent posts than to duplicate them all in the alt text here!

People will say "why do you only talk about Israel when there's other countries doing massive violence?" And so with that in mind I'll just note that the UAE, which is backing a genocide in Sudan, as well as being a slave state, is being treated with delicate kid gloves by the government.

Ways of expressing opposition to the state engaged in genocide that apparently require full blaring terror, reports to the cops, can we actually prescribe these people as terrorists?: Conference motion arguing the animating ideology of that state is racist.

Permissible ways of supporting a genocide, which don't apparently require a massive moral panic, political ostracism: Weapons sales Logistical support for their military Using "self-defence" to describe bombing civilians Genocide denial Rhetorical support for specific war crimes Service in the IDF

But hey, not like there's a major ongoing environmental crisis where a secure water supply might be important, I'm sure it'll be fine to just let the ransackers have another few years and see if they finally get it right. I'm rooting for those guys!
