Is that a Kim Jong-il commemorative plate in the background?

Nintendo Game Boy was released in Japan on April 21, 1989, and in North America on July 31, 1989.

Revisiting this as I've seen it on a few end of year lists and I don't recall it being particularly noteworthy on first listen. Not sure what planet I was on that day, it's spectacular.

Apologies, bit of a personal post. My wife had an embryo transfer this week for what we're hoping will be our second child. Her mum is terminally ill and paid for our treatment. I'm writing her a letter with everything I want to say to her in it and I am heartbroken.

Vicario always fronts up and shows his face, pathetic to boo him during a game, I don't care how much you've paid to be there.

I fear that Tottenham are basically as bad right now as they were in January/February, but with less mitigation, less credit in the bank for the manager, and without the sense of shared purpose provided by the Europa League campaign.

Missing a really good friend's stag do tonight with what I've assumed is norovirus. Really bummed me out, because it means I can watch Spurs now

Really enjoying this, great tv. Nobody plays 'snivelling little toad' like Matthew McFadden.

Not that anything matters anymore but just on a personal level that mid 2010s period where these people got to feel like staunch antiracists by opposing the only viable left wing alternative to the shitshow we’re facing now was some of the most galling stuff I’ve ever lived through

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

As big an admission of the disingenuity of the 'antisemitism' accusation with regards to Zionism as you will ever see.

I was on the fence about purchasing 'Album Name' by 'Artist Name' but this has swung me, thanks Rough Trade

If stories like this don't completely radicalise you against the very structure of our immigration system you're a fucking monster tbh
Shabana Mahmood said this month that her migration policies are a "moral mission".

Where is the morality in blocking an eight-year-old girl made destitute by a Hurricane from coming to the UK to join her parents?

Why would young people hang around to slave for people who very openly hate them and have deliberately created a malicious system that exploits, harasses and demeans them as much as it can
