Strange new worlds treats, not only another Dr Who jibe, but an alien design that was basically an Eldar drukhari mix from Rogue Trader / 40k and a sound effect straight from Jurassic Park. Silly fun.
and now I have to listen to all of the TFTM world cup specials. Again. (*whispers* Paul Brietner)
Got a garden full of stag beetles, pretending they can fly. Ah I love those idiots
Finally getting around to watching the Boys, onto season 2 in 3 days. Starlight and Hughie just sang Billy Joel. 10/10 show.
Never known a season where we were told that 37 league games in a row were the biggest test of our season.
Hardly fair to ask Sir Paddy Vieira to comment on what is basically one of his old tackles
Had absolutely no issues with Starfield for the first three weeks, but ever since the fix was announced for crashes it's done nothing but. Testing my patience, it's such a good, meditative game that crashes are particularly jarring.
I've lost count of how many "his best half of football" big Vic has, according to pundits, had this year.
Trying Starfield on PS5. First impressions; more fallout than Skyrim, this isn't no mans sky? This isn't mass effect 1...? ...Just powered down everything but minimal engines to slowly sneak up on a satellite and hack it for the next mission marker. Ah. This may be flawed genius.
Is Trump's tantrum down to Artemis stealing his pretence of limelight and unifying people in hope? Maybe. At some point he's going to demand something horrific and the handlers who normally stop it and manage him will be too wrecked or slip up and fail to stop it. He's history's smallest man.
Just writing this down so I remember: bog acidic wetland, fen alkaline wetland, swamp trees, marsh no trees.
I don't know if it's a cringe attempt at "banter" or just complete ignorance, but, Keown aside, no one at TNT appears to know their name is Sporting Club de Portugal. The repeated error is so cheap, which, considering how much the subscription costs, I could do without.
Half expecting this referee to accidentally send himself off, he's really not been very good. Think I've taken the quality of CL refereeing for granted, so far.
*whispers* - it doesn't sound like 'wraps,' it sounds like 'crabs.'
Joe Cole asking Glenn Hoddle if, as a manager he consulted with his board before fielding a weakened cup side has been my favourite TV pundit question of the season. (Ally and the two Joe's are a cheerful breath of fresh air in an increasingly stale field.)
Almost feels wrong to look at them now. All the tedious, bombastic fans will have jumped ship long ago. It's just the real spuds left now.
It's weird that so much populist media, that is definitely driven by sales and is not paid propaganda, represents less than a third of their market and deliberately alienates two thirds of their market. But then, I'm not a business genius, so it's probably clever.
Citing both family voting and sectarianism feels like an a/b split test of excuses. Those are tonally quite different things for supporters who usually don't do detail. Also feel for the definitely populist and representational media having to report the wrong news today, after trying so hard.
[pushes glasses up] Mind you, should really be an in advertising medley bookended by She Came in Through the Bathroom Window and Carry That Weight.
Duolingo has added a new round where you have to pronounce words and about half the time I'm left yelling jamon or Lata at my phone like Steven Toast, only to be wrong and then have my exact pronunciation repeated back to me. Rubbish.
Star fleet academy reminded me that tv could be good so I tried knight of the seven kingdoms which reminded me that thrones was great when it was great so I've tried House of the Dragon again and basically I've been watching TV for about 5 hours and my knees have stopped.
Honestly, just delicious. After all the diving and kicking and Neville fluffing commentary, the apparently that's not a penalty at the moment, the narrative sweet lord the precious precious narrative, lovely Kai. Hilarious.
Kinda feel for Everton fans, who are trying to watch coverage of a brilliant away win that takes them into the top half, and are having to sit through studio disappointment due to narrative. Just cover the sport and let the 'storyline' happen.
I wonder if there was any thought given to casting Limmy as the Jimmy character at the end of 28 years later.
Nahah Ben Whites done the pundits. This is such weird coverage, I guess it's their home leg.
