And another thing. The new IPL-Hundred team logos are a complete fail. Absolutely impossible to distinguish what they are.
Ooh a great result at Lord’s for one random group of players who beat another random group. #cricket #thehundred
Or, alternatively, Guess What Team I”m Playing For? (now that team names, strips, logos, and player line-ups have been effectively randomised) #thehundred #cricket
Opening day of the controversial #cricket tournament that is even more controversial this year... normally I'd be really excited but this year I'm just... not. #TheHundred
Things that are better about the new #thehundred 1. The TV graphics now match the colour of the team strip 2. Literally nothing else. It’s now an incoherent mess. Add it to the list of things the ECB has cocked up.
Alright, listen up - here's what's happened Donald Trump described Keir Starmer as a tough negotiator & his friend Then Putin texted "Agent Krasnov" like "WTF are u doing Help bring him down, u bubonic paedophile" & so began a series of unhinged, factless posts about Chagos, Iran & Free Speech...

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 3mo agoIt's been 16 months since I left X, and I feel so much better for it. I hadn't realised just how big an impact the daily tsunami of hate, trolling, sealioning and strategic incomprehension was having on my state of mind. I cannot understand why anyone who values their mental health is still there.
I’ve been listening to Radio 3 since the 2019 GE for precisely this reason
The Multitudes show at the #SouthbankCentre tonight was probably the worst I’ve ever seen anywhere. The orchestra was obscured by a projection of 90 minutes of high definition AI slop, fictional images of environmental destruction. The irony. (Last week’s Turangalîla by contrast was amazeballs)

I don’t remember writing it, but a lot of digital ink has passed under the bridge since then. But looking back, the Magazine was really ahead of its time.
The BBC News (online) magazine was such a great product. Amazing feature writing, strong sense of its reader community. High standards. I miss it.

Who, What, Why: Why is Good Friday called Good Friday?
It is the day when Christians commemorate Jesus Christ's crucifixion. So why is it called Good Friday?
