Is there... something *bad* that usually happens to minorities or something? 🐸☕

[Flying Fist of Judah @37thchamber]

General shame aside... this nigga even bark soft smh.

Drake barks for a goth girl during his 20v1 dating show.

As funny as it is to rinse man for this, I also rate him for even doing it in the first place tbh.

[Troy Deeney @T_Deeney]

First day back on X and I'm reminded of this...good to be back I guess 🤣

"Is football coming home?"

"Football went out to buy milk and cigarettes fifty-nine years ago."

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

The moment 🏆

Peak British Culture (complimentary)
I've watched this video several times now.
It is glorious.

Les Battersby makes wrestling debut!

Simulation theory confirmed. 😂

71-year-old Les Battersby struts out to the full Coronation Street theme, milks the crowd like it’s last orders at the Rovers, shaking every hand he can reach, then Status Quo kicks in as he “runs” the ropes like a pensioner who just remembered he left the oven on. 🐢

Absolute glorious nonsense! 😭

[Flying Fist of Judah @37thchamber]

@WhatTheForkLads tbf to them Emma, he *did* brutally murder Rodrigo Bentancur that one time, and I heard he also shat in the urn.

[Anwar El Ghazi @elghazi1995]

Was praying for this draw. Can’t wait to walk out at Villa Park with Cardiff and play in front of the Holte End again! #CityAsOne 💙 #UTV 💜

[Flying Fist of Judah @37thchamber]

@Pezza94444965 Series 2 was the pinnacle but 3 was also very good tbf. Hope you've managed to avoid spoilers

[Flying Fist of Judah @37thchamber]

Villa fans: Hey uh, those prices seem a bit steep guys. Feels a bit harsh, considering we still pack out Villa Park at £70 a ticket for home league games... Maybe you could reduce the prices like, £20 or so? Back down to around that £70 mark?

Bootlickers:

[Flying Fist of Judah @37thchamber]

Good thread.

I've said similar. Even if it's just having a big fella or two to come in against those more physical sides. That one-sided loss to Newcastle last season really underlined the problem for me.

Mings returning will help, hopefully, but he's not enough by himself

[Alex Berwick @Alex_Berwick]

Extremely first world problem, given where we’ve come from. But while everyone rages about Jhon & Joao the thing I’m most interested to see how #avfc fix this season - and the thing I’m most surprised they haven’t done something about in the market yet is….

All of my work is alphabet #fonts.
I want more English-speaking people to use them, and I will make all my past works available for free download on August 1.
My friends who live in English-speaking countries among my followers, please promote me.

Something so satisfying about this man’s refusal to take the bait with the usual leading questions on migration. Just calmly & stubbornly fair-minded, straightforward, no nonsense answers in a perfect Wexford accent right in the middle of the town. 10/10

[Flying Fist of Judah @37thchamber]

Perspective has been warped for a lot of people tbh. Particularly younger fans, imo.

When you've grown up watching a bunch of high profile players bang in 30+ year after year, it's easy to forget how insanely difficult that is.

Especially in a new team, league, and role.

[Savo's Bandana @BandanaSavos]

Diaby had 19 goal contributions in all competitions in his first season and I'm seeing people say he was disappointing.....

See this is the kind of bullshit I expect from Labour.

It *looks* like they're addressing a problem, but they're not.

The issue is not that there aren't enough homes and we need to build more. There are enough empty homes to house every homeless person in Britain already

[YIMBY Alliance @yimbyalliance]

NEW: Local residents will lose the right to block housebuilding, Keir Starmer will announce today.

[Flying Fist of Judah @37thchamber]

And because I know someone will ask:

most recent estimates I could find for homelessness (from The Big Issue) seems to put the number of "households" around half a million

while the ONS suggests there are over 1m "truly vacant" homes in Britain (see 3rd image for methodology)

Good thread
