I can’t recall a new season ever starting with the first round of the carabao being on a weekend but I rate it
Getting nostalgic thinking about the days of getting a new season ticket delivered, rather than today’s version of “your season ticket is ready to download”
The current financial rules in football are an absolute farce, clubs like Crystal Palace (and Aston Villa, Newcastle) are essentially being punished for being ambitious, the prize money for winning the UEL is only £11 million, they benefit very little from being in it.
I’m so furious that we’re in a situation where now everybody in the world has to check their own behaviour, be on their guard in public and be suspicious of anyone wearing glasses, in case they’re being filmed by a pervert. All because Mark Zuckerberg is a greedy creep

Absolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
Krakow, my favourite solo trip so far! Great city, great people.
But... surely the UK is a war zone under Sharia law, full of no-go areas run by grooming gangs and nobody can wear a watch or carry a phone in public..?
Have the British public always been so self centred? I’m staggered by how many people I’ve seen saying ‘I don’t use buses so what good is that?’ Or ‘pubs aren’t for me so who cares?’ Millions of people do use each and they are both pretty vital for our economy and society
Finding this quite hard to stomach from a country that is bombing the shit out of other countries…
Lads, a minor conflict from 44 years ago, when your leader was a fascist who "disappeared" tens of thousands of people? (and which I'm guessing most British people don't really care about)... that's how you want to celebrate a truly impressive romp through the World Cup?
Paul Brand@paulbrand.bsky.social · 3w agoBut a rainbow bucket hat is too political?
Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel
Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.
On this occasion I do in fact have to support this kind of silliness
When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.
Thousands have turned out for an Anti-Racism rally in Belfast city centre, organised by United Against Racism and supported by Trade Unions
Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs
If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.
Kyle Pfannenstiel@pfannyyy.bsky.social · 2mo agoIdaho health officials are investigating how nearly 60 people got sick after drinking raw milk in the past two weeks. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says they didn't name two dairies potentially linked to the outbreak “because this is a potential risk for any raw milk producer.”
"Despite Government actions to improve people’s access to cash - like introducing rules to slow branch closures and rolling out more banking hubs - these efforts will be in vain if they don’t safeguard our ability to spend cash." Our Co-Executive Director in LBC today 👇

Just watch this… And for the love of God, please see Farage for what he is. His response to Sarah Everard Vs his response to Henry Nowak Jaw dropping.
Pretty much no sleep last night. The far-right has a grip on this country’s media and political narrative and I do not see anyone capable of breaking it. We are careering towards absolute catastrophe.
NEW for @talkingpointsmemo.com, I wrote about how hantavirus/Ebola conspiracy theories spread infinitely faster and farther than the actual outbreaks, thanks to the disinformation machine built during lockdown. talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/hantavi...

The Danish gov’t has installed floating platforms planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in the harbors and canals of Copenhagen, to create urban habitat sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. #FlowersOfBluesky #InnovativeSolutions💡

I have put together a little video guide to Nigel Farage's umm... evolving views on hecklers. They seem to be quite dependent on whether the heckler disagrees with him (bad, boring, frightening, dangerous), or shouts abuse at a woman in the street (buy him a pint/give him a peerage).
Bees keep our world alive. They give us food, products like honey and beeswax, and support millions of farmers and rural communities. Healthy bee populations also help ecosystems recover and adapt to climate change. This #WorldBeeDay, learn why bees matter: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...
Farage says his £5 million gift was a “reward” for Brexit. The rest of us were rewarded with higher bills and years of chaos. This grifter must not become prime minister.
