I’m afraid to tell you that the U.K. was ahead of the curve with that in 2014 with Michael Gove’s famous “I think we’ve all heard enough from experts” comment….

I’m starting to wonder whether the current iteration of the Tottenham board are actively trying to get us relegated…#coys

The first thing I thought listening to Starmers response to Badenoch’s question was that he’d clearly kept all the receipts. I’m no fan of Starmer at all, but he’s played a blinder on this one

Rachel Burden absolutely eviscerating Jenrick on @bbc5live.bsky.social is a joy to behold

I’ve become numb to it…and even worse…they’ve made me not really care….and that’s a damning indictment of my club

See this is why I wasn’t willing to spend my evening in their company. It’s bad enough hearing the radio commentary….

If we don’t, I don’t know what the fuck to say. I’ve never been so angry about my club in my life.

If Tudor isn’t out of my club by the end of tonight then the board have some serious questions to answer (in addition to the questions they already have to answer) I’m fucking livid #coys

Weirdly I had this conversation this weekend. The mummy is absolutely a guilty pleasure. I know it’s badly written nonsense…and that’s part of its charm. I love this film so bloody much that I can’t help have a huge grin on my face every-time I see it

I feel sorry for everyone else this year cos Hellripper is gonna absolutely clean up AotY lists one this year pans out.

Everything I love about heavy music in one neat package. Extreme vocals, riffs for fucking days, solos, and the added bonus on this track of my beloved cowbell. Take a bow James

One of the things AI has done for me is to confirm my suspicion that a large proportion of people in academia really don’t like being in academia.

This Heathen Land by Green Lung on Apple Music Album · 2023 · 9 Songs

Pretty low at the moment with PhD pressures and massive feelings of imposter syndrome….so I’m gonna sit in my office which is absent of people other than me today and belt out this album at the top of my lungs to help my mood….

Just heard someone on @bbc5live.bsky.social suggest that the magic bullet for the criminal justice system are AI trials…

…oh good god no…no no no no no….

….arrrrgggghhhhh no

At this point getting Tomasso in to give that team the fairy tale ending to knock some sense into them would be preferable to what we currently have….

No no if they’re talking about ‘soccer’ they’re very much talking about proper football 😂 (Brit here who will have no truck with the appropriation of the word football for a game that has far more similarities to rugby lol)

his killer being a man who murdered three people including a pregnant woman who he also raped is a perfect demonstration of how ‘paedophile hunters’ are just violent men looking for a socially acceptable target for their violence

The fact that it isn’t 42 years old feels like a missed opportunity….

As a spurs fan I’m surprisingly comfortable and amused by the litany (ok I’ve seen two but both been brilliant) of 16th century spurs jokes….

This is fascinating. If you read papers and the news in the U.K., it would appear the divisions in this country would parallel the US, but this suggests thats far from the case
