Can someone explain why UK/EU ISPs were allowing traffic routed via Yandex data centres in the first place?

Rather be a very bad team that has seen glory than a bunch of deluded cunts who are no bigger than Burnley if it wasn't for a cheating sports washing murdering regime. Funny how this bell end used to love giving the banter but unfollowed as soon as the charges dropped.

Stupid people don't walk into tiger enclosures. People with severe mental health issues or a neurological condition do. Or do you call those people stupid?

Most of the City fans I see on here (the same ones that unfollowed me once they were confirmed cheats) are doubling down in support. I'll repeat - I hope you are finished as a club.

Before Manchester City existed, there was a little club that no one other than a few hundred people from Stockport supported. Their fans waived inflatable bananas.

Here's what I predict. City deducted 60 points. They finish the season on 35 points, avoid relegation and carry on next season as if nothing happened.

Tough one, but I do know I would have either of them in the team today. We haven't had a true captain who could protect and bollock his players since Keane left.

This is SAVAGE
This is a work of photographic genius that deserves to go down in the annals of history. I'm an art historian with a PhD (yes, really) so it's one thing I do know something about.
Let's start with the framing. Dan Winters has positioned his subject lower than the lens. At a basic level it's diminishing the man... no small thing for someone so obsessed with his height.
But it's bigger than that. think about all the portraits you know of Great Men (they are almost always Great
Men)
Statues are set on plinths. Above eye level. So you look up at them.
Or famous images like Washington Crossing the Delaware. Or Napoleon Crossing the Alps. We look up at the figures at the centre of the composition. They're the embodiment of leadership. We are inspired to believe. To follow.
Now, look at the photo. We are looking down at the subject. His mouth gapes. He's as lost and directionless as a toddler in a crowd who can't find his mum.
Or, more aptly, a patient in a dementia wardNow, look again.
It's the eyes that strike you the most.
That's because the photographer has chosen a very shallow depth of field, which means the pinprick focus on the eyes casts the rest of the subject in a hazy wash. Even the American flag pin on his lapel. His one
"mission"... leading the nation... is, symbolically, completely unfocused.
None of this is an accident. Winters made conscious choices when he framed this portrait and chose the settings on his camera.
And the colour saturation...
None of the garish, highly saturated red, white, and blue. Or the glitter of gold. We're looking at a president who has just wandered out of a crypt.
He is a spectre wrapped in parchment-thin, ashen skin with a waft of gossamer-thread hair atop a papery scalp. He's a phantasm with sawdust in his veins and a handful of dust where a heart should be.
But, back on those eyes. If the eyes are, indeed, the windows to the soul, then this man has none...
Trump is wandering through a misty haze. Where is he, even? Who the fuck can tell? He certainly can't.
There's no colour. No sunlight. No life. Just pinpricks of light reflected back from the soulless, senseless, rheumy, red-rimmed eyes beneath hooded and desiccated lids.
They say "I am lost. I am confused. I am not long for this world."

Is it wrong to want to see a 15 year old crash and burn?

Damn. I actually forgot how good this album is and how 18 year old me felt listening to it. I'm going to order it on vinyl and enjoy it through the filter of 34 years of life.

I've got that feeling. It starts as a dull ache and slowly expands until it's all consuming. It's inevitable and I know there's is nothing I can do once it starts, I simply have to accept it. I'm going to buy another guitar.

United have paid £852m in net interest payments since the Glazers took over. In other words, we could have invested like City without cheating, but instead have nothing to show for this money. Get those leaches and that Reform twat out of the club.

I remember the day Leighton's career died when he threw an easy hopeful punt upfield into the back of his net. I can still see it from the United Road Paddock, but can't remember who we were playing. I also remember the United Review had a pic of him with his knob clearly on show.

I think the Greens peaked at the Gorton and Denton by election. They will self destruct in the same way Labour did under Corbyn by having socialist views that are an easy target for the right wing press. I can actually see the Tories having a resurgence and the next GE being back to 2 parties.

You see, I could have had 10, Levelling the Land, Seldom Seen Kid in my 9 too. Stanley Road, Moseley Shoals and Dirt were other albums I was obsessed with at some time or other. Maybe a top 18 would be easier.

The Seldom Seen Kid @seldom-seen-kid.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Thought I would have a go at this 9 albums nonsense. It's impossible to choose just 9 and if I did this again later today it would probably be a completely different 9.
