@paulframe85.bsky.social I love this so much

A big part of the story of politics in the UK over the last two years is that the entire political right reacted to comprehensive defeat by immediately throwing an endless tantrum

A really good example of how felony murder is a ridiculously unjust legal doctrine that should not exist.

The Lords really has behaved abysmally this parliament so far

Obviously it backfired but you can understand why Tudor gambled on Kinsky given Vicario's form.

What I can't get is the basic absence of emotional intelligence and even common courtesy in just ignoring a heartbroken young man who you've thrust into such trying circumstances.

I don’t think Platner is a Nazi. I think he’s a goddamn moron who also learned to never apologize or admit a mistake because that’s what little people do. It might explain failing out of the uber-elite Yale feeder school too.

basically though I haven’t got time for Raleigh or that Aussie player acting as if being in a competition against someone precludes basic acts of respect

This is why the writers get the big bucks

This whole thing is bizarre. Raleigh not shaking hands is silly, Arozarena is in “this is way too intense to be a joke overreaction” territory.

I mean did they just go “we only need an interim manager for now, so the specific quality we’ll look for is never lasting longer than a year anywhere”

Yeah, this is something that just needed a quiet low level warning internally, not an anonymous tantrumy leak to the media about how deeply displeased you are.

Did you see the story about Tottenham hiring a scout who supports Arsenal and (justifiably tbh) getting mad at him for publicly making jokes about not letting the badge touch his skin?

gonna be an all-timer for worst-and-shortest managerial tenures for Igor Tudor

Igor Tudor is genuinely one of the worst and most baffling hiring decisions in football

WHOOMP THERE IT IS

I'm worried about what Spurs will be like when this new manager bounce wears off.

i heard they've been sending each other Stephen Bush's tweets

This final series of Totteringham is the all time funniest thing ever to appear on television.

Stakes are obviously a lot lower but this really reminds me of Karius in that UCL final for Liverpool

EL OH EL SPURS

(Schadenfreude aside, I hope someone somewhere gives that poor young Spurs keeper a big hug after the game)

I’m also so angry that she felt she had to go public with what happened to her because of the way this government treats people who disagree with it.

I am so full of admiration for Charlotte Nichols and my heart also breaks for her after suffering the attack, abuse by strangers, and further victimisation by an unfit for purpose justice system only for her rapist to be acquitted anyway.

I am so full of admiration for Charlotte Nichols’ courage in talking about this - particularly awful that as a woman in public life she will have had to consider first how people might use this information against her, especially online. Hope she has all the support she needs.

I'm sorry but the universal rule of historical progress is and always has been "No One Wants to Be A Farmer"

oooh are we doing "freaking out about getting old" on Bluesky again? I like these ones!

yeah so at the next GE, assuming Labour changes the voting age, you'll have voters who were born after the 2012 Olympics and who are younger than Prince George

There is no funnier train station sign than "Cambridge home of Anglia Ruskin University". Everytime I see it I'm impressed all over again at the level of trolling.

Ruddy hell. This is incredibly powerful - well worth watching in full. No other comments needed.

Huge props to @charlotte2153.bsky.social for speaking so honestly and directly. Just a awful thing to happen - and hugely impressive in using it to fight for others.

Once again we see that the trouble with asexual reproduction in plants is the stigma involved 😓

This is because hating the Democrats is a way to build social currency with other Democrats in a way that the Republicans don't do
