Sport. Got stuck at one of 2 tables people sat at from my course on Monday night and the rest of the table proceeded to talk about hurling.
I sat there thinking it was rude to leave, for several minutes, then got up and moved to other table and instantly found conversation interesting.

Does mean I'm less fit than I should be probably though. Used to dance quite frequently until I moved too far out of town to get home easily from wahtever clubs

I think I have a thing in my brain that just tunes out sport talk the moment it happens. If sport comes up in conversation or on telly all I hear is "blahblahblahblah" MAybe if I didn't have this handy cerebral device I might learn something, but sadly it's there to stay.

They did this at Maxwell's in Hoboken back in the 90s, I believe.

The Budget. I probably say that very year though.

Political rallies. I probably say that every 4 years though.

Rallies aren't really a British thing are they? Other than Korbz at Glasto or whatever, or protest marches that politicians kind of sidle into to give a sneaky stump speech. Did even Farage bother with them?

He had a big Hitler Trump style rally towards the end of the election campaign.

I mean obviously modelled on Trump's rallies.

Enoch Powell had some snazzy rallies. I'm kind of surprised that Trump hasn't appropriated the "rivers of blood" yet.

Funko Pops - Beanie Babies for nerds

Hideous Lump, Wednesday, 30 October 2024 12:46 (one week ago) link

There was a triumphalist Brexit rally about a week before the referendum, that was populated by toffs and the like, all marvellously happy and confident of the win.

That one clearly had no effect - or did it? Did they win by a smaller margin, or did people go "I wanna be like them?" and change their vote accordingly?

We have no way of knowing....

Would love for Beanie Babies to take back their cultural dominance from funko pops at this point tbh, funkos are so fucking UGLY for one.

In my world they are used to display/signal fandom especially geek-adjacent fandom a la anime, sci-fi....

Many, perhaps most, are gifts. If you don't know what to give someone except that they like Sandman or Ghost World or Stephen Universe or Jujitsu Kaizen, you can give them a Funko Pop; they smile and put it on their bookshelf, life moves on.

kato kaelin-manuel miranda (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 30 October 2024 21:44 (one week ago) link

I'm not sure what makes me hate them quite so much but I think it may be the way every single cultural artefact is reduced to the same fucking identikit ugly dolls, like none of it matters, it's all the same shit, nothing is countercultural, all just different flavours of Fanta from the same soda fountain.

scott seward, Wednesday, 30 October 2024 22:22 (one week ago) link

If someone gave me a funko pop for any of the many geeky interests I love and that they've made funkos for, I would smile and discreetly throw it in the bin once gift-giver is gone. Life would still move on tho, that's otm.

Daniel_Rf, Wednesday, 30 October 2024 22:36 (one week ago) link

I was briefly, for literally seconds, had an excitable rush of blood over the budget when I misread something about Carer's Allowance going up by £45 per week. But no, it was the earning threshold going by that amount. CA is actually going up £1.39 per week. Right ok. Back to stick yer fucking budget briefcase up yr arsehole!
