Here is the thing about science. And knowledge, more generally. And art. And music. They are universal. A scholar who only reads books from authors with the right passport is no scholar at all.

Oh well. That's football isn't it. Can't win them all. Team barely made the keeper work til Garnacho came on. Mainoo came on too late for it to matter. Honestly, I can't see Amorim being at the club at Christmas unless they start next season like a freight train in the league...

From the creators of "I don't like Rage against the Machine anymore, they've gone woke", we bring you a new, thrilling journey of self discovery:

Forget the pain of Mark Clattenburg failing to play advantage when Connor Wickham scored against Manchester United in 2016, or Alan Pardew’s dance, which jinxed and embarrassed them after Jason Puncheon’s opening goal. All of that pain has given this sweet, sweet success more meaning.

It warms the cockles of your heart. As a United fan I've seen them win the lot and I'd say it doesn't come close to seeing Palace win that cup today...

“Don’t You (Forget About Me)” tops the charts 40 yrs ago today Jim Kerr was at a French hotel when he got the news. “I went down to the bar .. no one there except the barman. I said, ‘What’s the best champagne you’ve got?’ He said, ‘Who for?’ I said, ‘Me & you & whoever else comes thru the door.’

Horrible season? Give your head a wobble...

That's what it's all about. Glasner gets it...

Delighted for Palace. Makes you wonder though, is this the season of the ending of the trophy drought. Newcastle, Palace, Spurs next???

“What a sad little life, Dean”

I'm sorry. Is the Arch Capitalist asking a Capitalist company to NOT Capitalist???

Excellent @thebugle.bsky.social

How psyched do you think Volkswagen are that now they’re somehow no longer the auto brand most people associate with fascism? Tesla really did them a solid

This is the guy who wants to put autonomous robots in everyone's homes. Can't wait until they start seig heiling during the washing up.

They gave it to Qatar, and Saudi. They're going to do fuck all about this...

It's merely weird timing that everything that was about to break because of Joe Biden did not, in fact, break during his administration but rather did so as soon as DOGE touched it. Coincidence. Happenstance, even.

Aaaand there it is.

Ruben Amorim hoisting the white flag already was not on my bingo card today...

United won't win another game this season...

Cardinal Robert Prevost has requested everyone use the name Pope Leo XIV when addressing him. No one seems to have a problem with using the name he’s chosen despite it not being his birth name. Seems like a courtesy we might extend to everyone if they request it.

Pope Pringle V...

Delighted United are through. Delighted for Mount, those injury struggles have been long and arduous. Delighted for Hojlund, even a tap in breeds confidence. Just hope it's not all for nothing, and that they go and win it in the final...

Yes Sufjan Stevens

"Hey, i'm fuckin' driving here" rang out from the Popemobile for all to hear.

The useful context here is that Prevost aka Pope Leo XIV was prior general of the Augustinian order for a long while, and Vance’s declaration was based (well, in his eyes) on ordo amoris, which comes from Augustine’s teaching

Trump isn’t gonna like this.

The new pope tweeting in February:

Great. Now we're going to get Deep Dish Eucharist.

Ffs. Just realised Islam’s gonna have to give Catholicism a guard of honour this weekend

new pope! *crowd goes wild* American pope! *crowd boos* woke for an American! *crowd goes wild* bad on protecting abusive priests! *crowd boos* hates JD Vance! *crowd goes wild*

I do hope this new fella takes Trump and Vance to task. He's a Yank, so he should have free reign, and there aren't any Trade Deals between the US and the Vatican that I'm aware of...

We have our winning post! 🥇

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Hope for the Pope, Papal Decree number one: JD Vance is to be Excommunicated. Wouldn't that be a laugh...

First Conclave tonight, max of four per day, I'm calling it for Friday, second one, so 7 rounds for the Pope to be elected. He'll call himself John...
