Weird how every other modern technological advantage had pretty obvious advantages that the public could see and didn't have to effectively be forced on them at gun point.

Someone at a senior level in UK government needs to very publicly tell the US it is none of their business who the UK PM appoints.

Look, on the one hand they allow perverts to covertly film your children and upload the footage to pedophelia forums. On the other hand, they can save someone half a second by projecting in front of them information they'd otherwise have to glance at their phone to get. What's a regulator to do?!

It could, but it won’t. This article says you only target the ultra wealthy. But they’re the ones with the most resources and ability to move assets around to make them inaccessible to the taxman. Wealth taxes are emotionally satisfying and practically useless. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Another reason why building one here in Norwich, one of the driest areas of the country, makes no sense.

The UK will not have enough water for future datacentres. England faces 5bn litre a day shortfall for public water supplies. A trillion litres of water a year lost to leaks. Widespread hosepipe bans. No national grid for water. Poor infrastructure. No national plan.

Rayner resigned. Your move Farage.

Fair play to John Healey, who managed to time his 5.5-week break from government to coincide exactly with the World Cup

Kevin Keegan: he hated fascists

It's fascinating to watch commentators who sat completely silently for a decade as the Conservative Government changed its leader four times in a row mid-term, now suddenly discover such a keen interest in the concepts of 'mandates' and 'legitimacy'

Unreal song! Now this is one of my very favourites! Top 5!

One of my favourites! 😍

something beautifully circular about FIFA bringing in a rule about covering your mouth after an Argentine player (Prestianni) is accused of racist abuse, and then another Argentine player (Messi) abusing that rule to try to get another player sent off. this is why we can't have nice things etc

Lovely stuff.

is there a pulitzer for photo captions because if so @theguardian.com just won it

If I were ever going to put my money on someone finally getting 1000, then it would have been Lewis! Buy his great book and then you’ll know why. 👌

Under Labour the UK has jumped Spain in the Climate Change Performance Index and now sits #2/5 in the world for climate action. Not that you'll hear this from Zack.

I’m old enough to remember Argentina doing exactly this previously in the 1990 World Cup final. Vile team. #SPAARG

The 2026 World Cup is over

Football 1 - Anti-Football 0. #SPAARG

Get Enzo Fernandez out of the dressing room so we can all see him cry at full time.

FINALLY!! 🥳 1-0 #SPAARG

Good Lord.

What's great about VAR is that it makes the matchday experience worse while we still have clear and obvious errors.

This is so f*cking fixed it’s unreal!?! #ARGSPA

Yes, Argentina the first ever World Cup finalist to not have a shot in the 90 minutes.

Lionel Messi is a weasely little shit

Tell me the fix isn’t in?!? 🙄

About time. If ever a team deserved it….

One of the very worst human beings in football. You love to see it. Watching the rest of these cheats losing their tiny minds is marvellous fun.

Inject that Enzo Fernandez red card directly into my veins

YESSSS!! F*CK OFF ENZO!! #ARGSPA

Bin Bin and the Count of Dodgy Crypto

LOL they did it, they finally silenced Steve Bray

German broadcast. Nailed it

I'm old enough to remember when the entire British right had a month long meltdown about "foreign interference" when Obama said something mildly disobliging about Brexit. The Trump administration pouring millions of dollars into far right political groups in the UK? Not a peep

Wayne Rooney is my spirit animal. 😂 Halftime Show. 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 #SpaArg #EspArg #worldcup

Some notable exceptions but my impression:

The Argentina behavior on every foul - encircling the ref & yelling at him - is illegal & no other team does it as comprehensively & often as they do, & it should not be tolerated.

Such a dirty, scummy, vile team. 🇦🇷 #ARGSPA
