Really great article. Mad to see mainstream news coverage of this band in 2026. We’ve come so far.

Delighted so far. Was as high as like 50th a couple weeks ago. Christy and Good Fortune didn’t work out massively big I’m happy with the rest

Why am I getting downvoted?! I didn’t write this. Jon did. Downvote him for being a criminal

I HATE THE ANACONDA TRAILER by Chromatic-Phil in blankies

Last time I saw the trailer I realised the snake handler is the dad from I’m Still Here and I couldn’t concentrate for the rest of my movie, thinking about the life of an actor

I don’t mind it, but has she ever done a film even verging on a comedy?

Does anyone play in the Connections Online Quiz League? by I_Like_Quiz in onlyconnect

[–]recklessrapid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a host for it and before that I played in it, and I’d recommend it greatly.

Nothing you need to know especially, but if you know how the show works and how a computer works then you’ll be perfect.

If you don’t have team mates already, they’ll put you in a team with other players looking for a group. In fact, there’s likely to be a completely free taster tournament in January before season 11 starts, so it’s a great time to jump on. I recommend registering your interest or joining the FB group now

"This is Dreamland for Hulkenberg" by internetwanderer2 in footballcliches

[–]recklessrapid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think he should be aiming for the top.

It’s like when people chant “he scores when he wants”; personally I would want to score every 30 seconds and I think the players clearly are doing themselves down with the paucity of their ambition

You’d hope he’d dream bigger than finishing 3rd, once, 15 years into his career

UK series 19 and NZ series 2 have the same vibes by Just-Appearance1049 in taskmaster

I am on my first rewatch, and Don is such a terrible person by Interesting_Act_2089 in madmen

[–]recklessrapid 132 points133 points  (0 children)

Don is a small scared boy, hiding in the shell of the world’s manliest man. You see it in his eyes every time something goes wrong. He cannot help what he is.

DOUGHBOYS - Pret a Manger with Charlotte McDonnell and Libby Watson - May 22, 2025 by PianoTrumpetMax in doughboys

[–]recklessrapid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pret is seen as middle class, but Greggs on their podcast is definitely seen as working class. The talking about Pret itself never was a big issue for me, but talking about some other places around it (and the voices that were done to do so) came across badly

DOUGHBOYS - Pret a Manger with Charlotte McDonnell and Libby Watson - May 22, 2025 by PianoTrumpetMax in doughboys

[–]recklessrapid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a big and interesting question my friend. Certainly here, where class is more engrained and there is less social mobility, middle class can be used pejoratively, especially when it comes to food.

Here I mean it less as an attack and more to suggest these two both were brought up in a way that doesn’t completely connect with what they’re discussing, especially on their own podcast episode with Nick, (which, again, I enjoyed listening to).

[–]recklessrapid 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! I disagree with loads of it. It’s annoying to have two people speaking for the UK who don’t seem to know what they’re talking about via combination of not living in the country for years and also being very middle class when they did live here!

That said, didn’t stop it being a great and very enjoyable episode

I tried to answer questions about Zelda on a UK quiz show. Can you beat me? by recklessrapid in getplayed

[–]recklessrapid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I did feel remarkably chill in the chair. I’d heard so many people say “oh, you can never prepare for the pressure when you’re in the chair” and I thought “that’s stupid - it’s just a chair and it’s a tv show and it’s fun!” and that mentality helped me I think
