It's a bit obscure, but the Steelers had a Scottish head coach in the 40s www.bbc.com/sport/americ...

Guessing the xG calculation makes an assumption that the attacker and keeper are equally matched

Autocorrect has a new subdivision of the ancient Argo Navis Constellation

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

WHAT DAY IS IT

For the penultimate round of fixtures in this year's English Championship

A very merry WHEN IS BINS season to all who celebrate.

Guess the Christmas carol from the clues to a line in the lyrics

Popular science idea: Rio Ferdinand looking at quantum states and saying why they are not allowed.

Best draw Scotland could get, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. Worst draw Argentina, Morocco, Italy. But chances are we draw Brazil. England will somehow draw Guam, Anguilla and Kiribati

Well there's a good example to quote when the "why not use automatic captions?" question comes up

Worth noting that Tesla's market share was already declining prior to this year. They went from 15% of EV sales in Germany in 2022 to 10% last year.

There wasn't a £37bn Covid testing contract. And Dido Harding was never handed a contract, she was head of NHS Improvement who was seconded to run Test And Trace. And the total amount that Randox was paid by the NHS was 133 million. But you're right, Matt Hancock WAS MP for Newmarket.

TIL that Edwin Hubble was part of a team that was National College Basketball Champion en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1908%E2...

"More than 35 yards"

Yep, why not score a goal from your own half in the 98th minute?

Congratulations to Brazil on 3 points in their opening world cul group game #scoden

The truly disturbing thing here isn't the bypassing of polygraph tests for chosen MAGA appointees. It's the fact that the FBI still uses polygraph tests in this way, decades after they were debunked as a method for detecting deception.

This is why we should protect the BBC.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

My annual post about how the Morning Star reported the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 hatfulofhistory.com/2014/11/07/h...

I assumed this was satire. But he actually wrote this.

Amazing

29 years ago today, Jamiroquai released the music video for 'Virtual Insanity'

I’m sure Matt Goodwin will be along shortly to tell us all whether LNER Customer Service Host Samir Zitouni counts as British or not. news.sky.com/story/train-...

Ive never been slow to criticise the Reach plc media for their awful clickbait headlines. But this is another level. They know exactly what they're doing with this headline, and it is horrible, divisive and dangerous. Shame on them.

Yep. This even has its own acronym - MUU (mixed, unclear, or unstable). It constitutes the majority of Prevent referrals as of the 2024 Independent Review.

Matt Goodwin attributes a crime that he now knows appears to have been committed by people born in Britain in the early 1990s to "mass uncontrolled immigration"

More information coming out now on this. Looks like a Cabinet Office scheme led by Georgia Gould… planned savings of £10m-£30m a year (back up lower Premier League full-back price) don’t really seem worth the candle if this the result IMO.

Wow - those are quite phenomenal headlines given the details of the story. Ahh look, he’s just a ‘nerdy’ guy. No harm done. You need to scroll down to paragraph 13 of the Sky piece to find the full story! 🧵 1/9

British Governments do not understand "soft power". See also restricting BBC Sounds to the UK (and the BBC making the BBC world channel visibly the cheapest of all the international channels)

Sultana’s position on Ukraine is not just morally reprehensible but juvenile and trite

Yup, this is an elite radicalisation story. The public don't want these policies yet the Tories and Reform are stuck in spiral of insanity trying to out-do each other

Four years ago today, we lost Sir David Amess — a dedicated MP and a kind, generous man. There can be no place for violence or hatred in our democracy. We remember his service, his warmth, and his commitment to others. 💙 #SirDavidAmess #PublicService #NoPlaceForViolence

I'd like to know which Chatbot is telling students that the Eagle Nebula is "4 to 5 feet tall"

“What’s the charge? Eating a seal?”

This whole thread is absolutely peak Bluesky. Dear Americans, not everything is about you.

Is your intelligent lifeform getting too chatty? Can't afford a Dyson sphere? Then you need....

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.

"ESA plans to release imagery by next week. NASA will not be able to release any of its data, or even comment on it, until the U.S. federal government ends the shutdown."

Someone needs to make Adolescence, but for grown-ups who lose their marbles on the internet. And also make it funny. Like Four Lions

Mrs R: "There was a woman on the ward today who didn't want to take paracetamol. We've had to explain that we're not giving it to her because she's got a fever and we want her to feel better, but because she's got a fever and if we don't get her temperature down then her baby is going to die."

Falkirk probably should have won that game but a point gives us a small cushion over other relegation-threatened teams like Rangers

Europe should tell Trump and RFK Jr. it exports an amazing alternative to Tylenol called paracetamol and use that as leverage in tariff negotiations.
