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.
Didn't watch the football. Did listen to @jonathanfennell.bsky.social talk about his new book, Collapse. His themes of radicalisation, escalation, and the ways people justify evil to themselves made me wonder if he's familiar with these books and it turns out they're all in the bibliography.

Man, Labour should elect this guy leader. Sounds like he has some good ideas.
Indian captain, Shubman Gill with one of the best slip catches you will ever see.
Once again I am going to remind you all that the only US Civil War memorial outside the USA is a statue of Lincoln in Edinburgh, erected in memory of men from the city who fought for the Union because they were abolitionists.
"We didn't know the Nazi totenkopf was a Nazi totenkopf when we decided to get it tattooed on ourselves" is no defence when the guy left it there long after the point where he very definitely did know it was a Nazi totenkopf, @zeteo.com
Half a dozen more, please, ladies. These fuckers shouldn't even be allowed to play. Fuck them up.
Dunno if this is even possible if you don't get Jordan and Chamberlain.
