Hi, I’m sorry to have to do it to you all, but my nail tech gave me tamagotchi Halloween nails and I fear I am insufferable about it.

White woman with each nail done as a tomagatchi: green and yellow dead pet ghost; orange and pink pet bat; blue and green with pumpkin pet; pink and orange with cat pet; purple and blue with candy corn pet.

The background is a Bartop, iced coffee, kobo reader, and general back bar area visible in the background.

The tennis is really tennis-ing today already.

Zheng’s serve to win the final point to take the first set against 8 Swiatek. Zheng came back to win seven straight to take the set.

This take sponsored by my unusual Nolan ranking; not seeing the Odyssey until next Sunday but looking forward to it. Love an epic. Don’t love IMAX but do have good seats so. Half of these I liked.

In order:
Oppenheimer
Momento
Dunkirk
Interstellar
Following
Dark knight
Prestige
Inception
Insomnia
Tenet
The other two Batmans

Every time I feel vaguely ok about social media after having a Good Time I do something stupid like open a player’s comments to see the top one is a “supporter” saying something outrageous and negative to the player. I’m tired man, these people aren’t normal. Toss their phones until we sort it out.

A Liverpool DJ with uneven nipples (per another commenter) posted under Jeremie Frimpong’s very happy and smiling “back playing” post with “less fixing your hair more playing football this season [white hand emoji okay symbol]”

Just gonna leave this comic from 1998 here for everyone

Title: Buyer’s Remorse
Alison Bechdel 1998

First square: one autumnal evening.
Lois enters the room saying WELL, THAT WAS UNPLEASANT. BUT IT HAD TO BE DONE.
Stuart replies OH, THANKS, LOIS SINCE GINGER STARTED HER NEW JOB, THE DOG SHITS REALLY BEEN PILING UP OUT THERE.

Second square: Lois says UH... I WASN'T CLEANING UP THE YARD. I JUST CAME FROM THE POLLS.
Stuart, who is cooking, replies MMM.
THAT WAS A NASTY BUSINESS.

Third square: Lois, rolling her eyes, says MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL. I VOTED FOR EVERY MARGINALLY LESSER EVIL ON THE TICKET.
Stuart replies YEAH, ME TOO. AND I'M GETTING PRETTY SICK OF THIS ROTTEN TWO-PARTY DEAL.
IT'S GOT TO GO.

Fourth square: Lois says MAYBE ITLL FINALLY HAPPEN, NOW THAT CLINTON'S TOTALLED THE DEMOCRATS, AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE LOST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN LEVITICUS AND THE 19TH CENTURY.
Stuart, holding a newspaper, says I DONT KNOW. I'M LOSING FAITH IN PEOPLE'S COMMON SENSE. LIKE, WILL YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THESE LESBIAN AND GAY GROUPS ARE DOING IN BED WITH CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS?

The dog, out of sight, adds a questioning ARF?

Friends, loved ones, does anyone have a decent/better quality screenshot of this moment? I want to get @abigailrudkin.bsky.social to paint it for my lovely American house (only semi-joking)

Hang it in the louvre is the caption to Lukaku doing a “hands to ears” celebration in front of four dejected American fans, one with a jersey on, backwards hat, and some sort of Venetian mask American flag debacle; one doing the surrender cobra in an American flag shirt with the sleeves cut off; one shoulders down deflated just looking on with the saddest look, face paint still on; one dressed largely sensibly and looking only semi-sad (he’s replaceable)

Uh anyway apropos of nothing, I’m about a third of the way through this (completely familiar and completely horrifying) book and I really recommend you read it. I’ve got an audiobook from my local library. Especially, I feel, important for men to read it.

Behave. Contact in both but Kane is doing the dive prior to the contact and Cunha is still running. Kane could’ve won a penalty, but he needed to run into the contact not…dive over it.

Not me really enjoying a set of essays only to flip to the author bio to see a photo of a man in an LFC top. Is right. Topics: education (k-12 thus far), creativity, racism, american culture and memory, pop culture, Black and bi-racial identity and experience

Sean Enfield’s book of essays entitled “holy american burnout!” (america lowercase).

It’s a signed copy, and the cover is a dark mustard yellow with blue and red small symmetrical dots almost obscuring the black and white portrait of a man

my hate review of the shrouds got knocked off my letterboxd profile to make way for my hate review of MELANIA, but I really need everyone to know that I saw MELANIA in a way that is the highlight of my life:

1/2 star

Let me set the scene: you and a friend want to go to a showing of a well-regarded Chinese release from 2025, but when you get there it's completely full. You check movie times at the closest theater just to see if there's anything playing soon that you could go to instead. No...unless? Unless Melania?? Fuck it, we're unserious people. Drive.

We get to the theater and approach the ticket desk.

"We'd like to see Melania, but the cheapest possible way ideally."
The person at the desk didn't miss a beat. "Do you want to just go in? I can tell you what theater it is." What a hero. Turned the screen so we could see which seats were open as well.

Anyway, this was hilariously bad. Up there with The Room for laughs. Incredibly unconvincing acting when politely thanking staff. Introduced us to the concept to "greige" as a color.

Across the road one of the better views tbh. What an iconic set of grounds. and what a hill.

You can see Dundee United from Dundee fc.

Mari Murphy @marimurphy.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Love nothing more than a new ground, me. Up the Reds of course but it was grand to see Dundee FC.

Big big big set of stairs with some floodlights at the top

Tiny stand selling pies and hot and soft drinks alongside a small door to seats with the ground in view, a painting of “the south end section” with Dundee fc colors and insignia done like a shirt badge on the wall alongside

The away end of Falkirk fans absolutely packed into the Bob Shankly Stand while a corner happens in front of them. Some seats empty in the dunkirk south paddock, though they lack backs — just literal seats atop what was clearly a standing area

Fans look on as Dunkirk line up to take a penalty. The home end is sparse in comparison to the away end, though as the attendance was over 6000 spread over the four ends they did fine really. Floodlight prominent.

One of the best books I read in the second half of 2025: The Last Disco: The Story of the Stardust Tragedy by Sean Murray, Christine Bohan & Nicky Ryan Horrific story well-told. Working class Dublin mums and das relentlessly take on the state. For 43 years. YNWA.

I’ve actually let myself down a bit on the sketch but I was given two Guinness by mistake and did obv have to try to split the g on both before having a go at the badge. The f being as straight as it is given it’s off the tick marks is wild but — and I had a ruler for the sketch and not now

And I also hasten to add that this sort of thing is also why it’s often a great city to be in just normally? Small talk is a thing but it’s a gateway to actual chat vs elsewhere it’s a defense against actual connection. Like this viral bit is hilarious but also happens only in Liverpool lmao

I have to admit that I find this Bournemouth goalkeeping jersey to be delightful? Design whimsy. Not surprised to see Umbro (even if they're not quite the same as the Umbro of old).

Gonna have to take a big deep breath to do a write up on this one and not sound malicious about the latter half and pens if I’m honest. Think Sarr is now safely a scourge against us as well 🤣

Match day facts with background on Palace — founding, ownership, ground, finish last season, etc. Mentions that Wembley wouldn’t allow one of their tifos. Shows the last five played.
