Passport queue at Geneva airport nearly at long as the flight. 45 minutes may count as Swiss efficiency compared to half of Europe this Summer.

Been learning to do cryptic crossword clues lately, and Google AI has been a really big help 👍

Oh here's Chris Mason to offer some insightful bollocks about that crook.

The rig I'm on has put up first aid guides that were made with AI. Wouldn't bother with CPR there, would be more concerned by the fact is head isn't connected to his body

Were FIFA ruling on that catch? engvaus

Special report from Port Arthur, Texas. It is one of the saddest, most desolate places I have ever visited. It is also where Aramco, FIFA's major worldwide partner and an inescapable presence at the World Cup, owns the largest oil refinery in the US. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

‘This is a hellhole’: Aramco makes its presence hurt in the shadow of the World Cup

The oil giant’s sponsorship deal with Fifa has featured prominently at matches in Houston. But 100 miles away in another Texas city, residents say the firm’s refinery is exposing them to poisonous gas...

Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Per the new @privateeyenews.bsky.social, while David Sullivan was banned from contact with the women's and youth team, Karren Brady spoke in the Lords in support of an attempt to dilute the new football regulator's fit and proper test by narrowing the scope of civil cases that could be considered.

Guys, just one of you, tell me the demographics of your voter base.

Quite a World Cup cover from L’Equipe.

It is pretty insulting that the right is trying to make the legacy of the tragic murder of Henry Nowak into a cassus belli for the unrelated scrapping of equality legislation.

It’s just possible that the expert legal advice sought by the Conservatives to justify their plan to scrap the public sector equality duty might not be looking at the issue from a completely impartial viewpoint.

Happy Benjamin Massing Booting Claudio Caniggia Into Another Dimension Day to all who celebrate 🥳

A good day at Lord’s, not entirely sure about the pitch or the weather but plenty of good cricket amongst it. #engvnz

This episode of "Today" desperately needs a historian of policing, to explain why things like anti-racism training were introduced in the first place. This wasn't some departure from a world in which the police treated everyone the same. It was an attempt to bring that world fractionally closer.

It would take about 30 seconds to remind news audiences of the basic facts of the Stephen Lawrence case

Every crime in which an ethnic or cultural minority is the perpetrator used to justify repression or worse of minorities. Every crime in which a minority is the victim used to argue for the idea that ethnic diversity is inherently unstable and should be reduced or eradicated.

In his white lives matter address, Nigel Farage calls George Floyd a career criminal and says "the rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities" in Britain

I wish Palace well tonight, but one thing: whatever TNT/HBO thinks, they're not wearing "Palace For Life" jerseys because they're a lovely club supporting a good cause, but because their actual sponsor, NET88, is an illegal Asian sports betting company and cannot be advertised in a UEFA competition.

Reform want to deport our neighbours, destroy families, shatter lives, ruin local economies, screw public services and make the UK an international pariah. News broadcasters do not think this is worth covering. It is not impartiality, it is meek compliance with the far-right and it is wrong.

What matters more: 1. An old man, out of politics for 20 years, has opinions? 2. The party leading the polls and potentially set to form the next government is promising to deport hundreds of thousands of people settled in the UK entirely legally? That our broadcast media has chosen 1 is sickening.
