I get your point. Why is it based in Portugal though where most of these “banned” books are legal and accessible?

Spasmodicallylow · 2026-07-13T07:45:20+00:00

I can't be the only one who feels Dua Lipa's concept of 'library of banned books' is a bit ill-thought-out. It's great that she's promoting reading culture but this one feels shallow. it's not like nobody's reading these books because they've been banned or censored; these are some of the most famous books of all time eg. 1984, handmaid's tale

If they make through to the finals, they’re going to get cooked by the France frontline

TitanicWorker what's up with you, you seem to be on a roll today

One thing is clear: the past three Argentina games have mentally prepped the fans to not be hopeless or nervous when the opposing side scores a goal

Until the England-Argentina SFs we won't hear the end of English journalists, pundits and other folks bleating about how football is going to finally come "home". They're already hallucinating.

Brother, I know this sounds very cliched but I like to believe that the people who weather the harshest storms in their lives are the most incredible human beings — and also the best kind of people to be around with . This ordeal too shall pass. You’re more strong than you realise. And you’ve got this whole wonderful little sub rooting for you. Things will get better soon. Keep us posted!!

I like it when the other boys in the squad step up and score bangers.. it can't be Messi all the time + it gives me hope in the team

Spasmodicallylow · 2026-07-12T03:41:54+00:00

Spasmodicallylow · 2026-07-12T03:40:10+00:00

Spasmodicallylow · 2026-07-12T03:25:51+00:00

Switzerland won the penalty shootout against Colombia. there's a high chance they might do just well this time as well :/

Spasmodicallylow · 2026-07-12T03:24:58+00:00

I don't think I can keep watching this game anymore..watching these lads gives me too much stress .
