The makers of this bullshit should be named and shamed. Grabow just completed the Ironman world champs at the age of EIGHTY. Debbie Martin-Consani won the Spine in her late 40’s. There are loads of women competing in long-distance events all the way into their 70’s. Fucksake.

I’ve done UTS 100k three times both when it was apex and UTMB, it’s been a different course every time, and trust me when I say this new version looks shite. The 100 miler still has the glyders and carneddi hills. Stick them and the Snowdon VK route back in the race you cowards.

Extraordinary that in these fractious & divided times, so many of us can unite around the single, simple fact that Matthew Goodwin is an irredeemable twat.

Got overexcited and missed that this was a post from 11 months ago. Doesn’t matter though, there is indeed a 2026 tab open. #BM100

Condolences for me... In 2026 I will be on the start line of #BM100 rather than adding my own unique brand of commentary from afar. As for who is the person behind the account, you'll just have to guess 😈

“You know, almost every time I've ever written about Richard Branson over the years, he or one of his lackeys has written in to the Guardian to whine about it, and often got the letter printed. This time, I'm actively begging him to get in touch. Come on, Richard - write in and tell us why you didn't bother Googling why your friend with the best lawyers out there still got an 18-month prison sentence, and had, at the time of that email, settled many widely reported civil lawsuits brought against him by victims? I'll save you a space on the letters page.”

I love it when Marina Hyde is angry - it’s when her writing is at its best. Brilliant stuff.

We get lots of more commonly seen birds like great tits and blue tits, but hadn’t seen these in aaaages.

I hadn’t even filled the feeders back up yet 😆

Slightly blurry photo of a long-tailed tit. Get your mind out the gutter ☺️. Small stubby beaked bird with a white mohican stripe crown amongst black feathers and the appellative long black tail.

Wee group of five long-tailed tits darting around the garden this lunchtime. Not often seen, beautiful wee birds.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.

CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?

DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.

C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?

DR: Now look

This is extrajudicial murder. It’s a paramilitary execution of an unarmed civilian in cold blood. Horrifying.

A conversation I’m having a little too often: I say I want guns banned so a guy replies “we need them because of the second amendment”

I ask “is that the one where you need guns to stand up to a tyrannical regime?”

He says “yes.”

So I ask “so are you using it right now?”

And then he blocks me

I grew up in Dumfries & Galloway, highly reccommend it. Would be a great area to move to with a family. Rural and outdoor living but also under 90mins drive to Glasgow/ 2hours to Edinburgh

JK Rowling used to be a beloved progressive figure whose work was used by a large bulk of a generation to express their feelings about fascism
