What can I do as a hobby now that the World Cup has finished?!
Oh my! What a rollercoaster. What I do love about the English spirit (the football kind, not the Reform kind) is that we still have that hope every time a tournament rolls around. It's been a class summer because of the World Cup when lots of other stuff in the world makes you feel like giving up. 💪
Rosie Hare@rosiehare.bsky.social · 4w agoGenuinely feeling emotionally unstable and so anxious about the football tonight. This has been my fave ever World Cup and fave ever England squad. Just love them all so much! 😭❤️COME ON LADS!

The UK media looks like the media they’d create for a dystopian satirical film set in the future where the media has been captured by three billionaire right wing bigots and reproduce their views to distract from their wage suppression and wealth extraction which is causing the planet to burn. Oh.
Been watching this and are we broadly in agreement that meta glasses are for pervs and losers or what?! youtu.be/9RhQodWFACM?...

I'm gonna throw it out there: Harry Kane is the BEST EVER England captain.
This batshit situation is giving me life at the moment, honestly. British piss-taking is the best bit about our culture. 😂
James Ball@jamesrball.com · last mo.If I were Farage I'd offer to pay for moving the hand dryer in the pub in Uxbridge, which has been on every binface manifesto. Binface can promise, Reform can deliver, etc
I'm not sure "he's not even a real bin" is the winning electoral argument some of Count Binface's opponents imagine. I think the voters of Clacton had pretty much already realised that on their own.
Forget the Turing Test. The day AI spontaneously says “don’t call me Shirley” is the day we know AI is sentient.
Mariana Z@mariana057.bsky.social · last mo.Siri just told me that I shouldn't call her Shirley. I think I had my phone on airplane mode.
In all seriousness how can make this happen? How can we get Binface to defeat Farage? We all need this to happen. For the love of both justice and comedy, it must happen.
Count Binface@countbinface.bsky.social · last mo.On my way, Clacton.
really going to need the electorate of Clacton to take one for the team and yeet him out of parliament

Anyone else having a nervous breakdown about climate change or just me?
There is ONE thing I am looking forward to this heatwave: Pictures of paschal candles that have melted in churches. Here's an example from a few years ago. It's my favourite phenomenon. Because, well... Look at it.
And not one of you has cracked the joke that you know of a nearly new camper van he could buy, free coffee maker but one not so careful owner. What is the world coming to.

Andy Burnham's arrival at Euston is being covered by BBC News & others as if it's Lenin arriving at the Finland Station in Petrograd in 1917. Given that he's given little indication of how he'll change government for the better, this seems somewhat ridiculous.
Not me crying at Sir Keir getting all emotional. 🥺

Using AI to compose work emails results in some of the most unbearably cringe, ridiculous sentences ever. It's bad enough that we have to spend our working lives writing emails until DEATH, do you really save that much time sending this inane nonsense?! Feel like I'm trapped inside LinkedIn.
