Sheffield Wednesday are likely to be deducted 33 points in under a year because English football is dangerously unsustainable and dreadfully regulated.
When this is over and the club is hopefully saved, that should be the main takeaway here. It is far from a one-club problem
Just want a functioning club back again. Hopefully we will still stay up with some additions - assuming we can sign players!? Get Yates for a start.
Coronation Street - written by Leslie Duxbury (10th March 1980). Mrs Walker decides to extend the Rovers' culinary offerings.
Just brilliant. I could watch these all day, in fact I'm off to YouTube...
Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough in the spring sunshine. Blue sky and yellow flowers.
Scarborough, this morning @thesjt.bsky.social
Cautiously optimistic about BlueSky's new interim CEO. I know people who've worked with him and they say good things. I'm hoping the key focuses moving forward will be sustained but rational growth, monetization in a way that doesn't err toward enshittification, and improved moderation policies.
Lily pointedly doing exactly what I want to be doing today.
Today's charity shop purchase. Bona.
A superb and spirited Scarborough performance sees the Boro run out deserved winners in Oxfordshire this afternoon.
Safe travels up the M1 to all the travelling Seadogs. 👊
In the cafe, Scarborough
I have enjoyed his docs but do have reservations about him, he's too much about the "Theroux" brand for my liking.
Brilliant piece from @illuminations.bsky.social. The Ibsen section on the iPlayer is all well and good but if a similar collection were to made in twenty years, it wouldn't feature anything broadcast right now. www.illuminationsmedia.co.uk/i-%E2%9D%A4%...
At 10:15, the Northern departure for Sheffield on platform 1 at Filey Railway Station - 1846 by GT Andrews, grade II*.
Ingenious artwork in window panels by students at Calderdale College, Halifax, installed 2024.
I see you're all doing Eurovision again even though they allow a country at war with half the world to take part
Quite disappointed to see people on here engaging with it.
GB News has never made a profit because it doesn’t exist to make a profit. It exists to exert pressure to push broadcast news channels further rightwards. It is about further poisoning the information environment. That’s why it exists.
We lost Kenith Trodd last weekend, a brilliant producer and forward-thinking man who believed deeply in television and the British screen. He was ahead of his time in many ways. "A film is a film is a film."
My tribute is now up on the BFI website: www.bfi.org.uk/news/kenith-...
To the cafe, Scarborough.
Yup, trying hard here not to react to it.
So 100k+ people potentially seeking asylum from Dubai. These sound like people with very demanding lifestyles who may not be able to assimilate into our simple make do and mend culture. Plus they’re not used to paying tax.
That's the best I've seen him play under pressure, poetry. How he kept that final break going I've no idea.
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.
Aping Trump with those shitty lapel badges.
I’m 63, I’ve been Labour all my life, & I hope this byelection humiliation will persuade whoever takes over from Keir Starmer to arrest Labour’s grubby effort to outReform Reform, not only because it’s a betrayal of Labour values but also because it clearly isn’t working. (2/3)
Agree with everything you say here, Starmer has to go and Labour desperately need to change their disastrous course. Very happy to wake up to this news and here's to more days like this for the Green Party.
Harry Hill's podscarf brightens my week. Licky in particular, which tells you what type of viewer I am. Can't be lowbrow enough for me.
Harry Hill on Monday, Waldy & Bendy on Thursday are my weekly treats.
Priceless. Both Bendy, and no doubt that horse.
My "best of" Cribbins CD is full of belters, Gossip Calypso a particular favourite.
Thanks to @wtfrench76.bsky.social I've been listening to this great song again, which in less than 2 minutes perfectly distills one theory of the appeal of populism: ordinary working people fed up of being bossed around by know-it-all elites.
It's the ultimate 'we've had enough of experts' song.
