EVACUATE

He makes himself big

Here we are again. Issuing “policy” via social media. Official press releases referring to his posts. Incompetent staff that can’t even spell the country in question correctly. It’s Colombia.

The most damning ‘since’ that I’ve ever seen

CIA Realizes It’s Been Using Black Highlighters All These Years

A reminder that Bild, the same right wing German publication currently making excuses for fascist gestures at Trump’s inauguration, accused Toni Rüdiger of making a terrorist gesture when he was simply just sending fellow Muslims a Ramadan greeting. amp.dw.com/en/germany-s...

I was listening to Chas & Dave this morning, as you do, and it’s made me wonder exactly when Sainsbury’s (and other supermarkets) stopped selling rabbit.

Nights such as this, I wish I had a telescope.

Sorry, this really made me laugh

My sister realised it’s snowing in Cardiff before I did. My sister lives in Essex.

Brandon Austin will play his first competitive match for Spurs tomorrow, having been there since he was a child, and he turns 26 next week. The most ridiculous part is that it’ll be his 20th senior appearance anywhere, ever, and his first since 2021. TWENTY-SIX years old, with 20 career appearances.

some good news for Man Utd: 22 points from 19 games is the same record Huddersfield had at this stage in 2017-18 and they comfortably finished in 16th place

oh, so that’s what they’ve been saying

Scenes nobody* wants to see. *everybody

This German meme was just brought to my attention and I feel obligated to reshare it here Frohe Weihnachten

I’d say that’s the first Donaldson/Scheffler adaptation that mainly just passed the time. It’s a great book but not a good one to adapt, I guess. Still, nice cameos.

@jonnygabriel.bsky.social Have a good Christmas, mate

THE BELL JAR HARD ❌ It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York EASY ✅ That summer was sizzling, and so were the Rosenbergs

Had to give up on this as it was just a mad series of letters and symbols.

If Saints had sacked Russell Martin in the summer to prepare for a PL survival bid then everyone would have been up in arms, but then by having him oversee the start of the season the damage is likely already done. Won’t be long til a promoted side sack their boss immediately imo, and be quite smart

Apparently I am now of the right age to be amused by parts of model villages

If anyone wants a bit of wholesomeness on this cold and barren Monday morning, here’s Real Betis fans raining down thousands of stuffed toys for disadvantaged children in their annual Christmas tradition

@andrewbeasleyfootball.com Reckon Slot starts Gakpo, Diaz, both or neither against Leicester? Shit just got real in Goalscorer Challennge and now I have to take it seriously

Beard…most?

I’m watching now and it’s farcical from Neville

laughing a lot at elon stomping around and sulking that he hasn't got his power yet. like, he pre-ordered and paid for a president so why is it taking so fucking long to arrive?

Half of the Premier League clubs being majority American-owned is a problem not because ‘all foreign owners are bad’ but because they’re all concentrated in the same place, and will therefore be in a stronger position to combine the league’s interests with their own and point them westwards.

The age of words is over.

Six clubs in the top three tiers are without a manager as they head into the season’s busiest period. ‘Opportunity to pick up points’, or bad planning?

(Ebenezer Scrooge on his way to debut his new “fun” persona to the family of the employee he’s impoverished:) Maybe I’ll razz Bob a little bit when I get there. I think we have that kind of relationship

Wolves have been an absolute mess this season. 40 conceded, multiple blow-ups at the final whistle, a switch in captaincy, players crying at full time as early as MD6. It is a wonder Gary O'Neil lasted this long—although of course the problems are not solely rooted in him.

Wolves are 19th despite having the biggest xG overperformance in the league… I mean, that’s not great

This is fantastic from @davidsquires.bsky.social and I’m only on 5am www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This excerpt from a very good piece is an extraordinarily revealing insight into modern football.

moving dan ashworth on while he’s still young and has plenty of resale value is ironically a very dan ashworth move. in a way his work is done
