Werbeniuk @werbenuik.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Will be very happy to be proven wrong but the way the City verdict is being reported reminds me of the Leveson Enquiry. Was supposed to be some sort of watershed moment but fuck all came out of it. 000
Werbeniuk @werbenuik.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Find myself thinking that a) both sides have good points to make about drinking at football and that a respectful discussion might help clarify the issue, that b) obviously a certain corner of Bluesky are going to go nuts about it and c) I’m so glad this place didn’t exist during Covid. 100

It's fine to support them. But you don't really need to argue that doing so is morally *good*, either. It's just dumb fun. 612010
