They split before getting that Meadowlands follow up out? Fucks sake.

Dune Pt 1 - I'm quite impressed, it looks and sounds great, and I think they've done a good job in making the plot coherent even for people who haven't read the books (my knowledge of it extends as far as a slight familiarity with the 1992 PC game and the Chapo Trap House episode on it, and I...

James Webb Space Telescope promo, edited like an action movie trailer for some reason: This is the much more powerful successor to Hubble, for anyone who hasn't heard of it. Finally launching in about 6 weeks, 14 years after the original launch date.. as a space nerd I'm well excited. This...

That last 6 minutes was essentially a dictionary definition of the word 'sickener'.. Some of the young lads look quite promising. I wish Aaron Connolly would stop going to ground looking for penalties the whole time. Maybe Kenny should have brought subs on earlier.

I’m normally deeply suspicious of the output of ‘think tanks’ but the paper discussed in this video does seem to present a semi plausible path for humanity to veer away from the environmental precipice (within the constrictions of existing capitalist systems), if anybody Is looking for reasons...

If you think there are too many sports in it now, they used to have an Art category including things like painting and town planning (between 1928 and 1948): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_competitions_at_the_Summer_Olympics Jack B Yeats won a Silver Olympic medal for that Liffey swim...

He successfully sued the studio after BTTF II for $760k for using his likeness without consent, which led to a strengthening of actor's image rights generally, so fair play to him..

I guess this is well known, but having recently listened to the Blank Check podcast episode about the first Back to the Future, I didn't realize they had shot a pretty big chunk of the movie with a different lead actor (Eric Stoltz) prior to Michael J Fox coming on board. From the handful of...

To stick my neck out a bit, I reckon England to win this evening (let's say 2-1 in normal time), then to get complacent and lose unexpectedly to either Sweden (quarters) or Denmark (semi).

Bacik is polling quite well apparently, would be a bit of a turn up if Labour snuck in there.

One of the most crazily enjoyable days of knockout football in a very long time. Really didn't think Switzerland had that in them. I can finally forgive them for having sat through that 0-0 draw with Ukraine in the 2006 World Cup now (a.k.a 2 hours that made you wish football had never been...

Jeremy Gilbert on the Politics Theory Other podcast has a pretty good take on the Corbyn era and Labour's current travails, I reckon: https://podbay.fm/p/politics-theory-other/e/1622709970 https://podbay.fm/p/politics-theory-other/e/1609328334

16 teams was perfect, they never reduce these things back down once they've expanded them though. There aren't really any properly elegant 24 team tournament structures.. The 1982 World Cup format with the second group stage would avoid the 3rd place teams going through but that 2nd group stage...

Can't help bearing a football grudge against the Danes for the string of humbling/torporific encounters against us over the last few years but fair play to them for demolishing Russia after the Eriksen thing and all.. Wales v Denmark should be a fun fixture. 24 teams almost inevitably results in...

Were England that bothered? Winning that group would give them the booby prize of a (probably) Portugal or Germany fixture in round 2, I'd say they'd be happy enough to play out another draw against the Czechs and let them take 1st place. That said, Scotland were fairly impressive alright...

That 2nd Schick goal is especially mental when you see it from behind the goal:

I think they're splintering off into their own non-mainstream media outlets these days, like the 'Gript' dicks.

Alan McLoughlin, of Windsor Park November 1993 fame, fecking cancer unfortunately: Alan McLoughlin, hero of Ireland's '94 World Cup qualifying campaign, dies at 54

They should run the Super League every year as a hypothetical tournament, it can be like a game of football administrator poker, the last team left in it after all others have withdrawn due to fan outrage gets the prize by default.
