Danny Kelly: He made listeners feel special, that’s why we loved him

if you have an Elder Millennial Man in your life, consider texting, or even calling, to see if he's OK, if maybe he just needs to talk...you don't even have to say anything, just be present and listen as he shares his feelings about Pitchfork's list of 100 best indie rock albums
The man @Jonny_Dutch is a legend. Catch him every week on @aboutarsenalpod 🙌
One of the best 🙌
My first Substack article - and it’s all free. I will be posting once a week at 08.00 on a Monday. The first couple will be free, then after that just one a month. The other three will only have tasters to tempt you to subscribe.

Make your mind up, you pseudo-intellectual, attention seeking ghoul. Your smart jumper and glasses don't make you clever, nor do they hide your rank hypocrisy.
The “jokes” about Charlie Kirk are heinous for reasons that have nothing to do with the fact that I agree with his politics. There is just something especially callous and soulless about gloating over a brutal, bloody murder we all saw with our own eyes. He was a young man and father of young children. We saw him get shot in the neck. The blood pour out. The natural human reaction when seeing something so violent, bloody, and shocking is to be moved and shaken by it. If instead you’re gloating and joking, it shows that this human part of you is dead. You truly are a soulless goblin in a way that’s only vaguely distinguishable from the guy who actually committed the murder. That’s what makes your callousness so disturbing for those of us who still have souls. We’re human and you no longer are. And that makes you a monstrosity to us. We’re not “offended” so much as revolted by the sight of you. You’ve become the spiritual equivalent of a maggot eaten corpse. You are a grotesquery, a morally disfigured beast.

Maybe Emery can manage Man United in the second half and see which half he enjoys most #foodchain

One of the more exciting parts of this election - among many - is the return of a religious left.

I think a lot about this scene in 24 Hour Party People where a homeless guy talks about Boethius and the Wheel of Fortune; it's contrived for the film, I know, but it represents something lost now; the strand of working-class intellectualism, where poor men were proud of going to the library and learning for learning's sake, Rita studying her bewks, Plays For Today, a time when references to ancient philosophy could be freely inserted into popular media without commissioners quashing them under the patronising assumption that 'ordinary people might not get it'; instead of the crab-mentality false consciousness instilled during the 00s and 10s - the Shameless On C4, Benefits Britain, Footie And Love Island Middle Aisle of B&M coding - where intellectual aspirations are seen as stupid and unbefitting of one's caste. Mutabiliteh is are Tragedeh but it's also are Ope.
Only geezer to have had a worse time than you in the last 48 hours #KrishnanGuruMurthy
Spare a thought for Elon Musk. Moves his business to Texas, his home, spends a quarter of a billion dollars and the Dems are going to take it all and regulate him anyway.

Bye you abusive piece of shit
I am disappointed at this evening’s election results. I have fought earnestly to continue to represent the interests of my home and community in the Ohio 7th District.
We have achieved great things in the last four years and I am disheartened that I cannot continue the good fight. I am very grateful for every one of you that came out and voted for me. I will always be Team Ohio and Team America!
They only didn't lose to Portsmouth because Robert Pires cheated btw
The Invincibles had the following league results
Birmingham (H) 0-0
Blackburn (H) 1-0
Bolton (H) 2-1 and (a) 1-1
Charlton (H) 2-1 and (a) 1-1
Everton (a) 1-1
Fulham (H) 0-0 and (a) 1-0
Leicester (H) 2-1 and (a) 1-1
Manchester United (a) 0-0
Newcastle (a) 0-0
Portsmouth (H) and (a) 1-1
They gritted out a lot of results and ground out a lot of draws. Only six of the games listed above were televised. Past eras are often romanticised and misremembered.
If you think this is going to stop pundits saying what they think about any club, you’re obviously really wrong. If anything it’ll go the other way
Silly or not, it’s strategic. Sawiris knows it won't reach a courtroom. It's about drawing a line, disrupting the narrative that only the 'Big Six' deserve respect, and making pundits think twice before belittling clubs like us, Newcastle, Everton, and Forest.
