What a little Wotsit.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Jansen Ganesh is on fire in this column on the UK’s role in the Iran conflict

This matters- it's important not to let outright lies go unchallenged and uncorrected.
I want this kind of public lying by a politician to be covered by Parliamentary Standards with swingeing great penalties, increasing with repetition.
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
No half-sentient person would trust Trump with a barbecue, and here we are watching him start a war to distract from his weapons grade depravity & incompetence.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

My grandfathers saved civilisation from the Nazis and the Inperial Japanese. I spend my days pissing around with spreadsheets and drinking tea. I don't want to be shot at but I wish I did something that matters.
Love Beasley. Recommend following him for anybody into LFC or data in general.
I will say from a recruitment POV, we will look at whether a CB has played in whatever system the coach plans to use then make a point of assessing him in that specific situation. But we also wouldn't overlook a CB who
Wonder who they have been leaking to? Because one of the biggest problems around this case has been the lack of information that has flowed from the league. Reminder the case is now 8 years old, and charges now three years old. Hearing finished a year ago. And yet, disgracefully, no answers.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Following up on this one, <50 minutes ball in play time is very rare, happens in about 2-3% of games.
Last 3 Newcastle vs #LFC
46:48 carabao final
44:39 away game this season
49:54 saturday
Coincidence or deliberate gameplan?
Ball was in play 22 mins in a 50 min half. Eddie Howe and his team should be fired into the sea.
Someone might want to tell Pep who owns Man City. He'd doubtless be shocked to learn what they've done, perhaps even resign.

Jason Roth @LucidJay Replying to @Hipstercrite Once Andre 3000 was on my ferry ride to Alcatraz and I said hi. My 6 y.o. autistic son came over and started talking his ear off about German Shepherds, his obsession at the time. Andre talked to him about dogs for like 20 mins. We exchanged numbers. 4 years later I got this text iMessage Aug 30, 2017, 9:38 PM Hi Jason. I was searching for a name and yours popped up. I remember our cool encounter on the boat. Ha . How's the kid ? I'm living in nyc now . So if you're ever here please reach out.
This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.
It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.
Absolutely. It's in everyone's interest to get this resolved. Unless City have a reason (or 115) to find further ways to delay and avoid. The more it's reported, the more pressure there should be for the outcome to published.
Guehi takes City to almost half a billion net spend since Dec 2024, when 115/130 hearing ended
Sources say it could take at least another year - with no one knowing when the 3 judges will have the initial judgment - provoking core Qs about this process

"perhaps what we so handily describe as club DNA is ultimately a story, a myth concocted to fit reality... the confusion arises when we confuse the narrative device with the sporting strategy, when we forget that the story is the product and not the ingredient"

Perfect, in both its advice on writing and Fitzgerald’s description of the current issue with our world from his vantage point of a hundred years ago
It’s 36 years since a Swansea fan invaded the pitch (and scored) at Anfield in the FA Cup.
So much to enjoy here:
- The shoes
- The denim
- The melodic slow-mo
- And then the steward’s slide tackle that finally sends him sprawling
This is CINEMA.
In "celebration" of thr Pepto Bismol ad now being on the radio, I took some popular radio-friendly songs and added the "Diarrhea" guy.
A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.
Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.
Upon Awakening to the Sounds of Distant Rumbles He awakes from seasonal slumbers to distant rumbles. A storm approaching, perhaps, or the muffled guns from the ghost of a war long since waged upon faded fields. The dawn chorus wakens the dead and rattles the brain as the back street clatter recedes into murmured memory and the awful truth emerges. Bin day! The revised Christmas holiday collection schedule. Thoughts fly unbidden to the rooms of recycling, Pennines of packaging, glaciers of glass, corridors of cardboard and cartons, growing, overflowing, silently creeping up the staircase, across the landing, clawing at the bedroom door. The horror! The horror! He lies there and tries to collect himself. Brian Bilston
These are unsettling times.
Man City have spent more than £500m pounds on new talent since being charged with more than 100 Premier League rule breaches. As another window opens, they’re poised to add another top talent, and still there is no ruling. Shames the Premier League how long it’s taken. Man City deny the allegations
Want to hear about my worst ever Christmas Day? Sure you do.
20-ish years ago, my then-girlfriend said her brother had invited us to spend Christmas day with him and his girlfriend at said girlfriend's mum's house. Sounds cosy, right? Nope. 1/
The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.
