I was saying Gravenberch should play in the 6 before he played a game for us!

Deporting communists? Denmark, please.

UKIP leader says he will use the military to round up Muslims and communists. I wish more people would recognise and name fascism when it’s jumping in our faces with flashing lights.

He plays with his head down. I'm pretty sure he will struggle to be a PL player long term. Doesn't seem to be a particularly intelligent/aware footballer and there's not a lot there beyond the pace and dribbling.

This sounds like a you problem dude. Things change. You refusing to budge your perceptions doesn't mean the Greens are doing anything wrong, or that your perception is accurate or valid.

There was something so warm and peaceful about R.E.M.'s music. Even the sad songs. Night swimming and Let Me in are my personal favourites. Controversial choices I know.

I don't think any other's band's music transports me back to a specific place and time like theirs does.

I was super into R.E.M from the age of about 10 (1989) to whenever they released Monster - which I loved but by then I was getting into Nirvana, punk and post punk.

I feel like if all the MAGA fascists had listed to R.E.M in their formative years they would be completely different people.

That's weird. One of the quiz questions tonight was "where are R.E.M. from?" and I knew it was Athens, Georgia because I have taste, and therefore love R.E.M.

Then Michael Stipe pops up on my timeline.

Always love those little coincidences.

I reckon there were about 20 teams in tonight's pub quiz. There was a prize for the team with the best name. 5 of them references either Israel or Reform in a critical way.

I guess pub quizzes are fairly woke-coded.

"prise" no idea why we only came third.

kop·ol·o·gy @kopology.bsky.social · 1h

I'd be genuinely embarrassed to win a quiz as part of a team of like 8 when most teams are half the size and I suspect that anyone who participates in a pub quiz team of 6 or more is a fascist.

kop·ol·o·gy @kopology.bsky.social · 1h

Personally, there's no way I couldn't hand the prise over to a far smaller team who were clearly better pound for pound because I have shame and integrity.

Also, for a pub, it would be good for business if people knew they could pop in as a 2 or a 3 and stand a chance of winning.

kop·ol·o·gy @kopology.bsky.social · 1h

My hottest take is that pub quizzes should divide team scores between the number of team members.

I just came 3rd in a team of three, when the two teams ahead of us had 6 and 7 members but only beat us by 4 and 5 points.

There is absolutely no reason not to do this.

It is impossible to have these thoughts without being a below average intelligence nepo baby.

How did you get so dumb?

kop·ol·o·gy @kopology.bsky.social · 5h

Me too but I'd never made one. Not totally satisfied with it but I think my next effort will be spot on.

My first ever attempt at a biryani was about 80% successful. The good thing is I know exactly how to change that 20% to perfect it.

The fried onion element is genius.

Mad that political elites think they can convince people of the value of the rule of law when we are literally ruled over by corrupt peadophiles.

They will ignore and sit on stories until they become expedient to their own shitty centrist agenda, at which point they pretend to be journalists.

I feel like it's a bad thing that our media has to get dragged kicking and screaming to important stories.

Lots of stories about Nathan Gill and Russian bribes.

Entirely possible that America completely falls off and lags way behind the rest of western world in 10-20 years.

Hard to keep up with a population exclusively comprised of idiots.

Gary Stephenson needs to drop this "why won't they listen to me?" weirdness.

For one, he is saying nothing remotely original. Not even close. And 'they' ignore or deride all left wing voices.

He needs to stop thinking he is special. Weird egomaniac.

kop·ol·o·gy @kopology.bsky.social · 12h

And it is the weirdest, most unattractive thing.

Half the population is now that weirdo who used to go on the X Factor and throw a tantrum when the judges correctly pointed out that they had no signing ability whatsoever.

Creepy weird, across the political spectrum.
