So lads I interviewed yesterday for a job at my beloved employer on the next pay scale up that would be my first permanent job since I left London in 2020 and I got a call whilst driving my wife to her birthday trip out and can I just say

Cotswold Wildlife Park for the wife's birthday 👌

I am going to fucking scream

West coast fares could rise to incentivise people ‘to not travel by rail’, UK watchdog sayswww.theguardian.com DfT told to look into lessening demand amid reduced capacity after HS2’s second leg axed

Feeling incredibly anxious today. Certain news stories are making me feel like the industry my wife and I have both forged our careers in is going to collapse

This makes me feel like Chidi in "The Good Place" when he's told that time isn't a circle, it's the shape made by writing "Jeremy Berimy" in cursive. This is it, this broke me. I can't do this. JD Vance said that Diet Mountain Dew is probably considered racist, I am done. It's over

I'm not sure saying the word 'racist' every time you're in front of a camera is gonna have the positive effect you're hoping for JD

Today I learned that blocking people on LinkedIn doesn't stop you from seeing posts from mutuals that mention them. Love being set back months because I saw a fawning post about The Psychopath with no warning 🌺

We'll always have The Social Network, which is one of the greatest screenplays in history

Kamala’s menu of potential VPs

Well, shit.

God damn did this go in a direction I didn't expect

My least favorite screenwriter ever has an idea

We've finally finished our watch of all the Saw movies. I have to say: Saw X (the most recent) utterly goddamned owns. Like, far beyond being the best Saw film it's a legit great movie. Excellently directed, some great writing and the acting is fantastic

Peaches has been an entirely upstairs cat the last week or so because Cosmo chased her upstairs, tonight she sat at what we call the "vantage point"

IF THE IT OUTAGES HAD NO IMPACT ON MY JOURNEY TO THE OFFICE, WHY HAVE THEY BEEN ALLOWED TO IMPACT MY JOURNEY HOME. IT'S SO FUCKING HOT JESUS CHRIST WHEN DO WE TAKE TO THE STREETS

This isn't relevant to the wider point of this post, but it astounds me to this day that someone directly accused Corbyn of "wanting to reopen Auschwitz" live on the biggest talk radio station in the UK, then refused to retract it when asked to, and there were literally no consequences at all

This also exposes the "Corbyn wants to reopen Auschwitz" stuff for the play-acting and shadow boxing that it was, because there is no way you could legitimately think Corbyn was more of a threat to any minority than Trump or Vance. No way. I don't believe you.

Absolutely raging to hear there's worldwide IT problems, yet the systems that get me to my office, as well as all the systems at my office, are working just fine

1970: M*A*S*H 1971: Dirty Harry 1972: The Godfather 1973: The Exorcist 1974: Blazing Saddles 1975: Jaws 1976: Network 1977: Annie Hall 1978: Animal House 1979: Alien

fav film from each year of the 1970s?

Sometimes you just have to stare wide-mouthed and bask in the incompetence. What the *fuck* could they possibly have been thinking having the Joe Biden account tweet "I'm sick."??

Finally caught up with House of the Dragon. Something that both S1-5 of GOT and the entirety of HOD has done superbly is craft the relationships between the Targaryens and their Dragons as something wholly unique between pets and children. Watching the dragons fight each other is excruciating

I've discovered that there's a dry cleaner in London called "Dry Cleaners Near Me", so they're the first result if anyone anywhere Googles "dry cleaners near me". I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration, absolute ballers and kings

Made this tonight and it fucking *slapped*

Creamy salmon, leek & potato traybakewww.bbcgoodfood.com Nestle leeks, potato and capers around salmon fillets to make this easy traybake for two. It's great as an midweek meal, or for a more romantic occasion

My favourite Something Awful moment was the guy who posted about having to give away his dogs because he no longer had time for them after he and his wife had their first child, then he was doxxed and it turned out he played World of Warcraft 7-10 hours a day every day

in 2013 I saw a man get a 100,000 hour probation on the SomethingAwful forums and today I saw him come off probation and immediately pick up the same argument, quoting a reply from 2013, absolute next-level hater, I can't even imagine, my man is the Count of Monte Posters

Still early days but Clementine and Peaches seem to be tolerating each other's presence

Got a seat at the local Desi pub for the match. Beer, football and curry with the wife. Life doesn't get better 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I just think it's far more likely that security and police massively screwed up, than it is that they hired the perfect patsy who is such a good shot he can graze Trump's ear whilst firing multiple shots, and was also willing to be executed

Guys, Trump was fired upon; someone in the crowd was killed and a few more injured. Let's not with the conspiracy theories, eh?

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.
