excellent because it gets at the weirdness of this spain team: they're utterly dominant without ever capturing anyone's imagination in any way whatsoever and i dont know how to feel about that
Brian Phillips@brianphillips.lol · 2w agoI wrote about the game
Thing is there’s another show between normal time and extra time. Gazza is going to walk out with Bruce Springsteen on his shoulders, a fishing rod, four pack and a bucket of chicken. They’re going to do a medley of Fog on the Tyne and Born in the USA. Very tasteful and classy.
I've had a strange couple of weeks. The ukulele group I run (@moselele.co.uk) ended up getting a few million views on Instagram As a result the BBC did a nice thing about us www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pickford calling it for hydration breaks again. Big cricket player energy to this part of his game. I’m into it.
Thank you everyone who sent me horrible AI generated flyers from around the world at my request. I was fully overwhelmed with hundreds and hundreds of these. These are the worst I saw. The hall of shame. Please enjoy and/or numb your brain: www.404media.co/these-are-th...

In a quirk of fate, today I went running around the Jewellery Quarter with time to explore and I found myself running through an alleyway I’d never seen before. It spat me out next to the site of the long lost Lessar Brother’s sign on Hylton Street, which was a favourite of Brian’s and mine.

“Pay attention 47. This is Unai Emery. His Claret & Blue army have perpetrated several raids across Europe in the past 12-months causing untold damage. They want to go further…”
Jon Hickman@jonhickman.bsky.social · 3w agoWatching my kid play the latest FIFA and there are all these mad cut scenes and quick time events where he’s Unai Emery having business meetings in various offices and restaurants and I honestly thought he was doing a mad new Hitman expansion I’d never seen

Happy (double) London Marathon Rejection day to all who celebrate!
An exhausted and pissed up country leaves the pub during the second half hydration break with the score 0-0, angry and cold, they shamble home and try to show up for work. A stupid compromise that we willingly tripped into. This would be a beautiful capstone to Starmerism. I’m excited for it.
Jon Hickman@jonhickman.bsky.social · last mo.So: * the pubs are open til 5am * the match is back to a 1am kick off * there’s a reasonable chance of ET and pens * there’s a credible threat of a storm that would delay KO by several hours Everyone loves World Cup permutations and there’s a scenario here where the pub closes mid game at 5am 🤩

99% of the time, working at a website you helped build and help run is just constantly walking across rakes, trying stuff out and generally flying by the seat of your pants. 1% of the time you realise, holy shit, people are into this and if we ever get our shit together we might actually do this

Stinking the tournament out but progressing is usually Italy’s job, but England are stepping up well in their absence. #WorldCup
The lady in the ticket office at my local station didn’t know how to find it on the system as she’s never sold a Sutton to Moseley journey before ❤️ it’s like being in the future or something
