A UK friend of mine said that when his US colleagues visited the UK and he took them for a pub roast they went "y'all have Thanksgiving food every weekend??"

I'm not in a pub but the Beer Temple is good regardless.

@brainmage.bsky.social thank you for liking this skeet. I absolutely had your voice in my head when I wrote the second line.

Megadeth's cut of Paranoid. A frenzy of frustration and perfect '90s production.

Please record these noises if you haven't, already. I only have (fleeting) memories of the absolute catchphrases babies said around me when I was a kid and they were absolute class.

I don't know if it's the change of seasons or unrelated brain chemistry or what, but good god this is hour 40 of REALLY wishing I could be traipsing around random places in the UK and stopping into pubs.

Fucking hell, the pub. What an institution. Imagine not loving pubs.

Unrelated: there have been a surprising number of people wearing crust/grind/doom band shirts out and about today. I'm happy about that (and I'm among them)

Ah!

Today is as good a day as any to remind you that Napalm Death exists.

Go listen to some Napalm Death.

Fun fact, picked up from a visiting brewery event they did in London in, uhh, 2015? It's travelled with me since.

I have too many beer glasses.

In the best possible way, this is an American-ass take.

Both Miyazaki and Tolkien just draw from the well around them. It's not "cozy," it's just... normal?

Uh the unnecessary metal umlaut seems to have escaped containment. The fuck is "Pröst"?

The "Jude Lore" dude is also wearing a Balatro hoodie.

I'm not as cool as him

Guy talking to his friend at the bar: "dude, I think Jude Law is so into his nannies that he went like 2 deep."

Other guy: "Damn, really? You really know this lore!"

First guy: "Yeah man, Jude Lore"

I involuntarily snorted with laughter from the table behind them.

We're cool.

Ok phew Cubs still in it, by the skin of Pico Armstrong's teeth.

Where do I go watch tomorrow night's game?

Kai @kaiho.bsky.social · 5d

Phew indeed. But where do I go bite my nails off tomorrow night?
