Bill Connelly@espnbillc.bsky.social · 5h agoSo you've fallen in love with soccer. Now what? For the burgeoning American soccer fan, here's a guide, full of obvious (Haaland plays for City, always watch Barca) and less obvious steps (you'll love Trabzonspor and Bodø/Glimt), for loving European club football, too. www.espn.com/soccer/story...

🚨 Here's what you need to know about the appointment of #EvaOlid and what she'll bring to #ManUtd. And as @gethinthurlowis.bsky.social has been watching her exciting tenure as head coach at #Hearts, he knows his stuff. For @newwomenssportmag.bsky.social thenewwomenssportmagazine.com/eva-the-savi...

You will be surprised to learn that I do not believe there is a “moral imperative“ to teach educators about AI.
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 6h ago“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”
Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...
Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
Two fictional (presumably AI) stories in recent X posts, now repeated as a Google summary. No need to tell tall tales about your achievements when the AI ecosystem will now do it for you…
This thread 👇🏽 is peppered with great book recommendations ✅
Sathnam Sanghera@sathnam.bsky.social · yesterdayIf you met someone who had fallen out of love with reading, and you had one shot at getting them back into it, what book would you give them? For a thing.
This is a remarkably extreme statistic. Bordeaux, France has recorded more days >40°C in 2026 than in the entire 105 year period combined dating back to 1920 when records began. This summer has been so far above extreme it’s difficult to put into words. Chart: @WxNB_

Liddle to be celebrated
An honest obituary for Rod Liddle, dead at 66, dead inside for many years before that.
brokenbottleboy.substack.com
Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.
Hugely deserved standing ovation 👏🏽 for #JesusChristSuperstar at the Palladium, with #SamRyder in the title role, Richard Armitage as Herod, and brilliant Desmonda Cathabel as Mary Magdalene. Great band too. Try to see it! 🎭
This was completely predictable. Anti trans policy will traumatize girls and keep more and more of them from playing sports.
Gillian Branstetter@gbbranstetter.bsky.social · 2d agoAn initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
Rod Liddle was very much like Marmite, in that you wouldn’t want him on your television screen, radio, or newspaper.
Rod Liddle called his ex-wife a “slut and a slattern” in print before marrying a 22-year old Spectator receptionist who he was cautioned by the police after assaulting her when she was 20 weeks pregnant. But he was anti-trans, so these “protectors of women” overlook everything.
Again, a fundamental issue with trying to cover the anti-trans movement is that explaining that they are habitually insincere and so routinely chose transphobia over women's rights does make you sound conspiratiorial, and yet...

🎸 To all those seeing #LukeCombs at #Wembley stadium this week, imagine you’d not only seen him perform in the intimate Shepherds Bush Empire, but also interviewed ✍🏽 him and his excellent support act Ashley McBryde before the gig. Both very good value interviewees!
