If anyone cares about basketball, LeBron James is signing for the LA Lakers. $154m for 4 years of his time.
This Thailand-boys-stuck-in-cave has been front page news for like 5 consecutive days. How, I don’t know.
It's fairly mental. I can't see how they can possibly get them out.
Can't they just dig a big fucking tunnel?
Are any of them fans of Sting?
The current plan seems to be either just keep them fed until the flooding goes away or send some instructors in and teach them how to dive. Both options seem quite mad.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
Apparently they are draining the place, but considering it’s their wet season that’s a fucking long term game plan.
They’re no Chilean miners.
I'm a twit
Surely nobody actually watches entire games of football later?
I do with Liverpool, so long as I’ve avoided scores.

"The heatwave might be causing a crisp shortage"
RIP in pieces, Lou.
Let them eat chips.
The rainy season in Thailand lasts for at least another 4 months, so if the plan is to build a home for them in the cave until then it'll make the Chilean miners look like a group of people who lost their keys in comparison.
I look forward to the Hollywood blockbuster.
Nicholas Cage as a 13 year old Thai boy.
Pffft. Herzog documentary.
Should that insurance company not be being raided by the police for widescale fraud?

Got to love the determination for a bargain.
Someone told us that people had been queuing there since 06:30 BST and one woman told us she had travelled for more than an hour to get there because it was her closest store.
A mother in Milton Keynes said she had taken her five-year-old daughter out of school to ensure they could get in the queue for a discounted bear.
"She's only five, they're not really doing much in school that's important at that age," she said.
When I read stories like that. It makes me more confident to never have a child.
I went to the one in Basildon with my little one. It was chaos, 2 and a half hour queue. Fucking mental that people are actually waiting in it. I’ll take her next week and pay the normal price.
A modern day hero
What the fuck is a build a bear anyway? A google makes it look like a shittier beany baby.
It's a kid's store where you literally go in and build a teddy bear piece by piece.
They have like different bits and pieces you(r kid) throw(s) together, sometimes licensed by kid's shows or Disney movies, things of that nature.
It's precious too cause they have like a little plastic heart that you put into him/her at the end before it gets sewed up or what have you
My rare glimpses into contemporary kids' toys suggest that capitalism and/or social media have turned it into an extremely dangerous place. Just as well I'll never have any.
Are you barren?
Bald in his 20s, so close enough.
Oof. Mate.
Bit much coming from junkie Earthworm Jim.
Earthworm Jim wishes he could have a mane as luscious and thick as mine. I would have gone for 'A shit version of Steve Buscemi' btw, it's both more original and more accurate. I used to take offense to the characterization but it's disturbingly bang on.
I mean look at it:
I wonder whether I'm actually his bastard son sometimes. Like a crap Ronan Farrow.
Earthworm Jim remains original when I say it, it was my shout in the first place.
Eyes like bubbles on a pisspot.

Well, that film's never getting made. Or making money. Thanks, Twitter.But she was criticised by those who said the role should have gone to a transgender actor.
Fucking hell. You cant even ’act’ anymore.
Find it... interesting that it's deemed Jared Leto can play a trans woman and get an Oscar nomination for it but Johannson can't play a trans-man. Almost like they're being judged on different scales.
There will have been plenary of pissing and moaning about that too (SJW’s wouldn’t let it slide), he just did it anyway.
As soon as you used the acronym/phrase SJW I completely ignored any point you were trying to make.
Fair fucks. Point stands anyway. ‘Activists’ (is that better?).
Advocates.
I can't help but feel whenever a twitter storm like this happens, the people complaining take this to be a massive personal slight against them.
They’re just in need of a bereavement or something so they have something worth whinging about.
If this film shows the character at any point as their original woman self, would the tranny actor not be able to film those bits? It reminds me of that Guardian piece about how Stephen Hawking should have been played by a disabled person ('cripping down', surely?).
How do you earn money writing when you're that thick?On a practical level too, perhaps hiring a non-disabled actor is easier. The ability to walk allows Redmayne to portray Hawking before being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. But I can’t get away from the fact that, if these arguments were made for white actors “playing black”, our outrage would be so great that the scenes would be left on the cutting room floor.
Matching your audience's stupidity.
To be fair, watching a disabled man being screamed at because ‘HE CAN SPEAK IN THIS PART!’ would be a bit lol.
To be fair, you could probably lump anyone in the chair because the machine acts for them.

Jupiter Now Has 79 Moons
More than 400 years after Galileo Galilei discovered the first of Jupiter's moons, astronomers have found a dozen more — including one they've dubbed "oddball" — orbiting the planet. That brings the total number of Jovian moons to 79.
The team of astronomers originally wasn't even looking for the 12 new moons. Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science says he and his colleagues had been trying to track down a giant planet they think may be lurking at the outer reaches of our solar system.
As part of that search, Sheppard was using the 4-meter Víctor Blanco Telescope in Chile in March of last year and realized that Jupiter was right near the part of the sky he wanted to search.
"So we could also search for Jupiter moons while looking for things that are well beyond Pluto," Sheppard says.
One thing that helped was the especially large camera attached to the Blanco telescope. "[That camera] allows us to search the whole area around Jupiter in a very few images," he says.
TWELVE?! TWELVE!?!?! I could understand maybe you missed one here or there... maybe that one looked kinda like another one so you thought it was the same... but you found 12?!!?!
