So, this is weird. A while ago I used Chat-GPT to suggest names for a 40k Kill Team. One it suggested and I used was Mara Venn. Uncanny to see the same name in here. Google it, and quite a few recent sci-fi stories/RPGs are using it. www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

This is just a stupid article and seems to try and shift blame away from City. Without City cheating, Poch's Spurs side keeps Walker and wins Leagues. A few extra million in fee is not a substitute for that. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Anything less than Man City being stripped of titles and booted out to the National League would be lenient. It'll probably just be a fine.

Another great win for the Minstermen. Should have been much better than 2-1. Hull won the Phillip Larkin Derby too. Good afternoon of footy.
Really great article from the BBC discussing the recent use of the emergency broadcast system. There's also a great discussion on Frazer's LinkedIn post too. General sense is they got this one wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Millions across England and Wales received a wildfire alert on their phones earlier this month, but it partly backfired.
