God, it must be class to get a television documentary to spout shite. The gravy train carries on. Good rule of thumb - almost every about processed food and seed oils is nonsense by idiots
Scott Bryan@scottygb.bsky.social · last wk.“While traits of ADHD undeniably exist – the question is why they exist. Is ADHD actually a neurodevelopmental disorder?

UEFA and Concacaf now against Infantino’s selling out of football. He’s toast now hopefully
I’ve just watched the Kalshi/Polymarket doc on Netflix. So clearly speedrunning what the UK did 20y ago. I love how they claim to be about finding truth in predictions, and then the next sentence is 85-90% of business is sports betting. It’s gambling, whatever way you spin it

This is like those weird AI videos of dead celebs meeting in heaven
I would simply not turn up in an infamous shirt and lose to 13 man England if I wanted respect
Fuck me, Angus Gardner is gagging to give this. Not a try in a million years
6 yellows is farcical. Gardner has lost control/his head #ARGvENG
For those who’ve been watching on the Junior WC, this is what the card situation will be like if they move to the sternum tackle rule in pro rugby #ARGvENG
No matter what’s going on with England Rugby, you know that they’ll beat Argentina. Come fifth in the six nations, lose half their team to the Lions, and they’ll still have them on toast #ARGvENG #NationsChampionship
Funny that the u20 rugby World Cup final is a low-scoring, no cards match after an insane tries and booking fest of the last three weeks.
What will hold this Italy team back is when they’re shit, they’re Tier 2 level. This is not a good Aus side and they’ve been bullied from kickoff #AUSvITA
