    [Misc] Only in America - 26/10/23 another mass shooting

    If I was going to apply some pretentious reasoning to it I'd suggest it's making a statement about how gun crime is as culturally significant to American society as The Simpsons.

    [Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

    Nah he can't copy Trump's style too much, lest he be accused of being some sort of conformist.

    Anyone Else Following The Hilarious Fyre Festival Farce? What A HOOT!

    Seems Fyre Festival 2: The Search for More Money is on...kinda... https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/sep/05/fyre-festival-tickets-founder Tickets have apparently already been sold, some for up to $8k, for an event with no concrete details and a very well documented history of being...

    [Albion] Have we, at some point in our seasons in the EFL/EPL, occupied every position between 1-92?

    Someone with the right dataset and a bit of skill with Python / R could figure this out. Thankfully I am not that person but if you are...then...y'know...get on with it.

    [Albion] So, 3 PL games in, are we a real threat?

    Without wanting to piss on anyone's chips, and with the caveat that I'm absolutely ecstatic about the start we've had, I feel we have been a wee bit lucky, certainly in our last two games. Everton we basically dominated and rightly smashed. We were a knee away from going 2-1 against United...

    [Albion] Arsenal fans

    Arsenal fans are a bit weird aren't they? Right? Just a bit weird. So very weird.

    [Misc] Books you gave up on

    In a similar vein I read through almost the entirety of Stephen King's seven book Dark Tower series but gave up when SPOILERS

    [Misc] Books you gave up on

    I've abandoned loads. If a book hasn't got me within 50 pages or so, to the charity shop it goes.

    [Misc] The Most You've Paid For An Event

    I don't know if this counts because whilst the event itself was pretty cheap, around £70 per ticket I think...it was abroad which obviously meant flights, hotel and spending money for a week taking the total spend to around £4k

    [Albion] Arsenal fans

    It'd be an interesting study, for sure. It's a bubble, not entirely dissimilar to the political and social bubbles that exist on social media. A relentless stream of content and opinions that serve only to re-enforce one's own entrenched beliefs and biases, allowing for zero nuance. No shades...

    [Football] Football rumour - Erik ten Hag will be sacked at end of season

    I see ETH has had the "fully backing the manager" kiss of death this morning. So the race is on - Dyche or ETH to go first?

    Huh, well, turns out ignorance truly is bliss.

    [Humour] Curry's 'Gen Z speak' advert

    See...I have no idea what that's referencing. The pendulum has swung. I am old.

    [Humour] Curry's 'Gen Z speak' advert

    I'm half of a mind to cut them some slack, remembering some of the dumb words and phrases I used when I was a teenager. But also...skibidi? That's just stupid.

    Quite. Anti-conformist just like all the others.

    [Albion] You're the ref: Veltman v Rice

    The Arsenal fans on Reddit are having an entirely normal and logical reaction to the whole ordeal. Y'know, all the classics - conspiracy, corruption etc etc etc

    [Music] Oasis - 2025

    Last stadium show I went to was Rammstein in 2022. Think I paid about £50. No dynamic pricing or the like. The only real cost was that I had to spend an evening in Coventry.

    [Football] Sutton United Ladies put their head above the parapet

    I'm sure this thread will be full of nuance, understanding and reasoned debate. I look forward to seeing its progress.

    [Albion] Jan Paul van Hecke - contracted to June 2027

    If he stays with us he's a future club captain I reckon.

    [Albion] Arsenal goal - handball?

    Another vote for 'back' here. Watching on TV they had a better angle on a replay which showed it.
