O jogo bonito This happened in Brazil's Serie B June on 23 June, when 10-men Ponte Preta were beaten at home by Novirizantino. Thanks be to @lawsonsv.bsky.social, whose re-post alerted me to this nonpareil example of samba football.

"We are in extreme danger," says climate scientist Peter Kalmus @climatehuman.bsky.social. He warns that this summer "could be the hottest summer we've ever experienced in our lives, but it could also be the coolest summer for the rest of our lives."
A reminder that Brazil banned Twitter for failing to stop the spreading of disinformation. There is nothing stopping the British government from doing the same.
Maybe we should have gone for an economy built on crypto and oil instead. Remember the key thing about anti net zero - or "I believe in it just not now" - people, they don't believe in growth. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Huge congratulations to Crystal Palace. A fantastic achievement, and brilliant to see more European silverware returning to the capital.
Look: I may have said in the past that it should be a straight red card for substitutes in bibs to celebrate a goal; but

I discovered the "suggest political content" setting on Facebook last week and - to my surprise - turning it off really works! (obviously it's turned on by default, and most won't even know of its existence, but worth spreading the word anyway)

Trump says he “can't imagine any professions that are more dangerous” than President. I can think of one or two. Palestinian journalist, for example.
Europe's electricity: 29% fossil fuels in 2024, down from 53% in 2005. Progress. But transport is still 92% fossil. Buildings: 71%. Industry: 61%. And 95% of EU oil and 88% of gas imported. Switching suppliers doesn't fix this. Electrification and efficiency do. More here: rdcu.be/feOjc

In honour of #StDavidsDay here are the wonderful Penbryn Spoons, which were found in 1829 beneath a heap of stones inside the Castell Nadolig hillfort, near Penbryn in Ceredigion, Wales. The pair of cast bronze ‘spoons’ date to the Late Iron Age (c. 50 BCE–100 CE).
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
On top of everything else, oil and gas prices are going to spike because of Trump’s war in Iran. But guess what doesn’t get disrupted by wars? Renewable energy. Solar. Wind. Geothermal. Storage.
