Landed in Svalbard this afternoon. The real adventure is yet to come, but even just noodling around town it's a spectacular place.

The Newcastle kit is an absolute crime. There is no aspect of its design which isn't hateful. #TheFootball
How are they playing the WAFCON final in such similar coloured kits? It's a very confusing watch. #wafcon
It is a false distinction to see the atrocious attack in Berlin as something unique or exceptional. It is wrong to claim that it is an "attack on our free societies". It is a continuation of the practices of these societies. Only if we overcome these practices can we actually be safe.
I don't mean to brag or anything, but I went to the garden centre today and bought one (1) plant. Sure, that might be one more than the zero I went in for, but it's also five fewer than last time I went to buy zero plants, so I'm calling it a win.
You actually can fight it. That is absolutely something you can do.

I’d be really interested to see where the decision becomes 50:50 for people if the amounts were adjusted with the same ratios. My working theory is that it’s when the smaller number is somewhere near your annual pre-tax salary.

love them or loathe them, there's one thing you can't deny about the Argentinian football team: they're a bunch of cunts
Anyone has ever said they don't enjoy women's football because "the quality is not as good as the men's game" should be forced to watch this match and recognise the fact that two teams playing like absolute clowns has made for one of the most entertaining games in recent memory.
This is just pure playground football where nobody gives a shit. It’s how the game truly ought to be played. I love it.
As someone who doesn't have an enormous emotional investment in the England men's football team but watches them anyway... sometimes in sport you can play exactly as well as your opponents allow you to.
England up 1 deciding to sit back and do nothing with 9 in the box for a half hour against Argentina in the World Cup
Look who has a photo they took on an actual billboard. It’s me. Delighted to support @mndassoc.bsky.social and also delighted to see my work printed in MASSIVE
Turns out that if I go out to the pub to watch England play football and have one too many beers, then I get home and buy plants from the online garden centre. 18 border perennials (penstemon, salvia, & geraniums) planted this evening courtesy of England vs DR Congo.
Pleased that after a couple of weeks of fighting the extreme cognitive dissonance of starting to actually like Erling Haaland, he can now revert to his correct role as pantomime villain.
As in 1066 England will prevail against the Norwegians before tragically losing to the French a couple of weeks later.
Has anyone made any progress on the secret third thing yet?
Marie Le Conte@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com · 2mo agoreally do not want to sleep while everyone watches the England game on Monday but also really do not want to stay up til past 3am to watch the England game on Monday, ideally will be able to come up with a secret third thing at some point in the next 72 hours
If Belgium have any interest in the banter timeline this penatly is going to be a Panenka.
Belgium might be going out of the World Cup, but their shirt is lovely.
we can all agree, regardless of the quality, the expanded format is funnier
