It’s sad to think features like these have survived centuries, thousands of years of human history.
Hooded eyes, aquiline noses, strong eyebrows, round cheeks, thinner lips, tall, larger built, square jaws, the very faces our mothers, our grandmothers carried, all of it stretching back to queens and peasants alike.
Features that have survived it all, seen it all, and all for you to be told now — well it’s just not attractive.
Imagine inheriting a face shaped by the entirety of human history, imagine being blessed with a beauty that has survived the many rises and falls of humanity, only to be told you now have to give it all up to the vanities of this generation. What worth is beauty without any history? What worth is beauty without meaning? What worth is beauty when it stops being something we recognize and instead becomes just something we manufacture?

Make sure you visit Braintree's website.
A time capsule for 2001 Internet, yet updated daily.
Astonishing stuff whenever I open the link. I'd love to learn the thought process behind it. Might have been coded in HTML manually

Back in 1991, this was the ‘Backroom’ Staff’ for the biggest club in the country.

As a Forest fan, I have zero love for United. My two penneth is: their culture has been suffocated. First by the Glazers and further by Ratcliffe. United is being led by unlikeable, passionless, cynical and penny pinching characters. They set the tone and, like a waterfall, it flows down, through every channel and into every corner. They have sucked the life & soul out of that football club. It’s only their hardcore, longstanding fanbase keeping their identity alive and yet they are doing everything to get them gone with their draconian season ticket policies.

£46m seemed a lot for a teenage centre-back with no Premier League experience. In pursuing Luka Vuskovic, Brighton knew what they were doing. As usual. Masters of recruitment, got all that A-grade Jamestown Analytics data, all that experience, expertise and contacts to check on character. Vuskovic had excelled on loan from Spurs at Hamburg. Scoring as well as showing his defensive class.
So many attributes: distribution, aerial dominance, physique, strength in one-on-one duels, mindset, a natural leader. Still only 19, still occasional blips for the Croatian international (Bellingham ran off him to score in Dallas. 7-0 England in Rijeka), still developing but what a future in store. Vuskovic will get only better and better under the inspirational Fabian Hurzeler and in this super-positive Brighton team. Another win for Brighton, another Vuskovictory. On current form, £46m looks a bargain. Tony Bloom and Brighton have done it again. #BHAFC #BHACRY

I’m so fucking sick and tired of the entire planet being destroyed by old white, insecure, abusive men.

And for clarity, Blount and Blunt are pronounced the same way. But I simplified it to Blunt as I was tired of people rhyming my name with “count”.

Can't believe the president who scheduled a public execution didn't win the Nobel Peace prize

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows

I’ve had a lot of people asking me about the botched execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee, as well as the upcoming execution by firing squad that’s supposed to be livestreamed. Having spent nearly 20 years on death row, my thoughts and feelings about these things are so vast that I sometimes struggle to find a place to begin. I became close friends with a man who had committed murder. He was like a brother to me. I once watched him break down crying, trembling as he told me he wished he was as evil as the world believed him to be, because then he wouldn’t have to care about what he’d done. Fifteen years later, he was still having nightmares about it. I know in my soul that he would never hurt another person again. But I’ve also watched a man being stabbed to death in prison. I cried for days afterward, and something inside me was changed forever. I learned that some people are capable of extraordinary transformation, while others remain capable of terrible violence even behind prison walls. There are no simple answers here. No slogans or political arguments that can adequately address the complexity of human beings, guilt, punishment, and suffering.
But there is one thing I want to say about the upcoming execution by firing squad. Don’t watch it. Whatever you believe about the death penalty, even if you think the person being executed deserves to die, don’t watch it. You cannot witness a human being being killed and simply walk away unchanged. What you see becomes part of you. It follows you into places you never expected it to reach. There are things I witnessed in prison that I would give anything to forget, things that still cast a shadow over my life decades later. There’s a difference between understanding that terrible things happen in the world and deliberately making yourself a spectator to them. I don’t have all the answers about justice, punishment, or forgiveness. But I do know that killing another human being should never become so ordinary that we turn it into something to watch from the comfort of our living rooms.
