Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

@footballcliches.bsky.social I don’t like “slaps in”. He didn’t score with his hand

We've got another lovely @dannykellywords.bsky.social column on the site today. "It has taken a decade and a half for the scales to fall from hypnotised eyes. Orthodoxy is out; invention and variety is in; the game is much better for it." trackrecordmedia.org/2025/10/09/t...

🧵 Last night's vivid 'time slip' dream: Inexplicably, I found myself in London in the 1590s. Terrified, I sought out the only person I could think of who might be able to help: William Shakespeare, who I recalled lived on Silver St. near Cripplegate. I eventually found the house and met him...

May I just say, a propos of nothing, that I love blue cheese with every fibre of my being

This is why they call him The Welshman

Question: can anyone recommend a search engine that will give me genuine results? This came up because I was searching for the site I use to renew 365 every year (Blue Nandu), and using Bing only brought up review and “is this a scam” sites relating to it. I tried Google and it was the top result

How's the weather in Croydon?

@footballcliches.bsky.social Does this qualify as a “team goal”? 18 passes, but 15 of them are basically knocking it around at the back, then one incisive pass to Son, who jinks a bit and sets up Johnson. The meaningful build up to the goal is arguably 3 passes www.instagram.com/reel/DGdwX_U...

Nancy Mitford once asked Evelyn Waugh how he dealt with fan mail. His reply is 👌

You can say what you like about McManaman or Dixon or whoever, but I genuinely think Ferdinand is the worst co-commentator and pundit around

Reader, I didn't.

I have lots of fond memories of this building: both visiting the museum and working nearby. I’m not much of a fan of brutalist architecture generally, but I am sad to see this one go. An interesting article and some great photos

Been seven years since I first read this, on the English language's *completely universal but totally invisible* adjective hierarchy, and I can honestly say I've thought about it most days since.

One more push for this, big thanks to everyone who has read the words in bold so far.

You’re a stupid, worthless shopping basket holder and you’ll never amount to anything.

You can also watch it via Bet365 if you have an account with some funds in it.

Can't wait for next month.

Currently pacing around my living room while my confused children ask “isn’t it still 3-0 to spurs?”
