Trying to be better tomorrow than I am today. Sports, especially football and cricket; movies; World War 2; politics; and whatever else catches my attention. He/him. I'm Scottish. Swearing is part of my culture.

one of the funnier rules is every year or so, the Mongolian and Chinese governments have to put out a notice that you MUST NOT travel to Mongolia and eat a marmot. And every year someone fucking does it anyway and immediately dies of black plague which is why you don't do that.

"The Pentagon has treated the trans separation board hearings with levels of security and silence usually reserved for state secrets... In some cases, service members’ spouses and even the service members themselves are kept out." w/ Dave Philipps www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...

Inside the Secretive Boards Deciding Trans Troops’ Fate (Gift Article)

The Pentagon is relying on closed-door hearings to kick out transgender service members. An Army Reserve lawyer is one of the few who have seen how they really work.

Aug 2nd - The Ex-presidents robbed a Bank. Johnny Utah suspected the robbers are surfers, and after infiltrating the surfing community organises a raid on a group of surfers. It wasn't them, and the raid ruined an undercover DEA operation. 📽️📅 Point Break (1991)

3 Screenshots from the move "Point Break" (1991): First, a man wearing a Ronald Reagan mask and a tuxedo looks down from a ceiling. The subtitle reads, "Hello, hello, hello, ladies and gentlemen. We are the ex-presidents.". Second, a man with curly hair in a red plaid shirt speaks intensely to a man with dark hair. The subtitle reads, "...all I wanna know is now are these guys robbing Tarzana City National Bank...". Third, the man in the plaid shirt continues speaking with a frustrated expression, and the subtitle reads, "...on August 2nd when they were in Fort fucking Lauderdale.".

When I was a kid, defenders did 3 things: they kicked fuck out of the opposition, they tried to win headers, and - if they were unfortunate enough to actually get the ball at their feet - they punted it up the park in the vague direction of their own forwards. Baresi did none of these things.

Franco Baresi was not only the captain but the moral heart of great Milan team

The centre-back, who has died aged 66, defined an era of hard Italian defending and his collection of honours is eternal proof of his class
