@MysticBuilds44 All those kids shows the BBC and ITV created over the years simply cannot compete on cost with internet slop in terms of cost. Sadly it was inevitable. Total victory for cocomelon and youtube shorts.

It's depressing that kids just don't have their own channels anymore. I guess it's because everything is more accessible online. But when I was a kid Citv and CBBC were such a big part of my childhood, coming home after school to watch my favourite shows. It's just so sad.

CITV is coming to an end, for good. After the channel closed in 2023, there’s been a CITV block on ITV2 every day, but this ends on 10th April. The new home for children’s content will be on ITVX Kids.

@OnlySkyKimi well the Khwarazmian Empire did kill diplomats and its the reason we don't hear about them anymore.
English
I know it's no use expecting any better from Israel, but assassinations of Larijani and Kharazi really is another unspeakable moral line crossed. To kill people who are engaged in diplomatic attempts to end the war? Even medieval armies didn't go after diplomats.

Is knowing about a relatively obscure match from over 40 years ago, which ultimately had little impact, a genuine acid test of football fandom? Is this one of the 100 most significant events in WC history?
David John Schlichting 🇩🇪🇪🇺@dazi180turtle
I feel like understanding what this is referring to is a good litmus test for if someone is an actual football fan

@WEG0NEGHOST going to keep us in suspense? Or are you just vagueposting bullshit?

@LukeWhosTalking yeah this is common knowledge. He was in command of the lead unit when the Russians occupied the airport. General Clark ordered him to seize the airport by force, and Blunt instead passed the request up to his British superior, who refused to engage the Russians.

@Adammargolis @LoftforWords they were worse than Portsmouth. 6-1 massively flattered us. 2-1 massively flatters Watford.
English
@LoftforWords Thought Watford were as rank as Portsmouth. Could have been the same result tbf.

@jimthegiant I think it is the 2 party + primary system. In America, before the left even get a chance at a crack at the republicans, they need to defeat the centrist Democratic establishment.
English
Im curious why the centrist vs leftist is much more aggressive in the US than the UK.
I can’t think of someone on the UK centre left that I see as my enemy per se.
Hutch@hutchinson
He thinks the Democratic Party is the 2nd most evil institution in the world and genuinely hates 99% of elected democrats. Refusing to go on his stream is not what “cancelling” means. He’s toxic. Why would any mainstream dem in a competitive seat be seen cozying up to him lol?

In the modern game there's a lot of criticism that players are like robots.
There's even criticism that our players shouldn't be celebrating like this after a win.
Personally, I love to see it and more importantly so do a lot of our younger fans.
Great to see their smiles.
English
@_Dan_1882 yeah kind of. I get your point, but it is your choice to be miserable instead of enjoying a win.
English
I get it I really do but am I miserable cunt for not liking this when we’re going nowhere?

Every time Smyth has a good game I see this narrative that people that have criticised him over the years won’t like it
I’ve asked Smyth to be a serious winger for years, I absolutely love the fact ive seen him do it in the last 2 games
Long may it continue 👏 👏
Chris Checkley@ChrisCheckley
Vale superb! He’s been brilliant again. Most of the boo boys won’t like that Smyth again played a huge part in that super team goal! Well deserved @QPR

@drgerke1 It kind of comes down to syntax and how certain words make people feel. "Benefits" is a word that is coded extremely negatively. So even though the state pension is objectively a benefit, it cannot be described as such. Only failures and parasites or on benefits after all!
English
This is 100% correct, but let’s not forget the ideological function of the myth. It’s to spare pensioners from the ‘shame’ of being dependents of the state/working-class, and also to increase the shame attached other forms of dependence. It’s a con that reduces social solidarity.
Miriam Cates@miriam_cates
No one has ‘paid into’ the state pension. NI payments are spent by the government of the day, not put into a pot with your name on. Using these terms just perpetuates the myth that the state pension is a contributory scheme. It isn’t. It’s a non-means tested universal benefit paid for by current taxpayers.

@CW_W10 Used to know a flat earther. He also believed that the Moon was a projection and the world was secretly run by the Jesuits and Jews through the Black Pope. chemtrails, weather control, QAnon, show this guy a conspiracy theory he would believe it.
its sad, he used to be normal.

I have now officially seen all of the 28 days movies, is it common consensus that every one of them is really good except for 28 Weeks, which really sucks?

@Timmetie @ContraPoints People did think that about Henry Ford though.
English
@ContraPoints People never do this for other industries, noone thinks the CEO of Ford is like this genius autobuilder. If the CEOs of the 10 largest banks write a letter that some policy is economic suicide people are like whatever.
But yeah, tech PR CEOs get built up like crazy.

He was right. The cult of personality around Jobs paved the way for the disastrous misreading of Musk.

@AaronBastani Or Hull. It's a punchline for shit towns now, and it's the only one who I would say the Luftwaffe bear a primary responsibility. I would argue it never recovered from WW2. Most severely bombed settlement in Britain by % of buildings damaged or destroyed.

Do this for Portsmouth, Coventry, Plymouth and Birmingham.

@TrastmeUnited @_chris96bcfc Agree. We actually played good football in 2022 and I would still argue we were the better team over 90 mins v France.
English
@_chris96bcfc 2022 more than 2024. We were better than France and would’ve had Morocco in the next round. 2024 didn’t hurt much at all, we stank the tournament out and Spain were miles better.
English
2021 > 2018 > 2024 > 2022
Waleed@waleedinhoafc
Bias aside, which one hurt more?
@PompeyTom83 I'm QPR so that would depend on if 71 points would guarantee a playoff place. It was last year...
probably still take England with a chance to win world cup we would get utterly embarrassed in the prem anyway.
English
Seeing England IN a World Cup final and seeing England WIN one are Two different answers,
After Italy and Spain I’d take Pompey staying up over a WC final this year,
To see England WIN a WC (or Euros)… You can relegate us this afternoon, I’m taking that 100% 🏴🔵
