What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

I can't tell you just how much you should fuck off, Nick. If I screamed "FUCK OFF" like a howler monkey in your face for several hours it wouldn't be sufficient. Not even close.
I need an option on YouTube to turn off visualised podcasts! I go to YouTube to watch funny animal videos and old rugby clips, not an hour of someone talking about their journey!

Why when they have to score 2 tries in 10 mins do they choose a scrum? Wastes 6 mins on resets only to then tap it. Bad decision making there from Argentina.
I'm so proud of Yassin. He made Bristol and Britain his home. He has contributed so much as a Green Party Cllr to his city and to the community in Lawrence Hill. Solidarity in the face of this Reform fuelled racist hate. Hope always wins!
Labour can threaten a £10k charge on migrants and still it’s never enough for the hard right. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? 🤔
I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that
DR Congo superfan denied US visa to support team at World Cup
Michel Kuka Mboladinga is iconic for his motionless tribute at DRC games, but a US World Cup repeat has been denied.

Why are we standing by and watching this happen? “Israel continues to commit genocide by deliberately targeting Palestinian children in Gaza, an independent UN inquiry has found…. about 30% of the people killed by Israeli forces have been children.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...
Israel continues to commit genocide by targeting children in Gaza, UN inquiry finds

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms. ‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms. But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…
Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.
Right then pals, we have an opportunity to so something important. This abhorrent EHRC guidance is modern day segregation and has to be stopped. Go to the link, fill in your details, and it'll send your objections straight to your MP. equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

The rise in antisemitism isn't in isolation. The persistent demonisation of trans people, the dehumanisation of refugees and asylum seekers (especially on small boats), extreme misogyny, all contribute to this enviornment. It's grim. We have to stand in solidarity with all groups being attacked.
10 years ago, the most common question you heard about Spanish rugby was "Wait, Spain have a rugby team?". 5 years ago, it was "What have they done now?". Yet now, Spain might be the most exciting, promising team in the sport. We dissect how this incredible turnaround happened- youtu.be/DaLRnX527t8
So how did Spain become rugby's most exciting nation? | Rugby World Cup 2027 Team Preview

A little reminder for Andy Burnham. There's no middle ground between people wanting to exist and people who don't want those people to exist. Ironicly, those positions are a binary. You can't exclude trans people from public life in a fair way. You can't do a genocide on us compassionately.
New Reform councillors off to a great start by refusing to vote on anything because they haven't a clue what anything means, how anything works or what the fuck they are doing. Vote Reform, get lazy, incompetent, ignorant morons.
I love watching Baloucoune. He is exactly how I like my wingers #MONvULS #challengecuprugby #investecchallengecup
Psa: the only acceptable response to this by organisations, companies and institutions is to remove all single sex spaces. Anything else is complicity with fascist bigotry.
Stats for Lefties 🍉🏳️⚧️@leftiestats.bsky.social · 12mo ago🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space". In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender. (Source: @TheTimes)
"Lloyd Williams the scrum-half on the wingggg...." The highlight of a great career as Lloyd retires, an iconic moment in the history of Welsh rugby.
Gonna be getting a LOT of mileage out of this in coming weeks...
Morning! Let’s all do our best today not to vote for racists.

“The idea that MPs can go for a drink and then make decisions on 69 million people’s lives - and not be doing that sober - will seem very strange to the public.” Zack Polanski on Westminster’s drinking culture on Sky News.
