"Trans: A memoir" by Juliet Jacques

The correct order to watch the Star Wars movies is: David Lynch's "Dune"

Well at least Clement seems to have fixed the "playing well in the first half" problem #ncfc

My wife, who took an instant dislike to Manning when she overheard one of his early interviews I was playing, said this guy sound good when she overheard this one. So that's it, he's taking us to the playoffs clearly #ncfc #otbc

Why not go further and give out a free peace prize with every Happy Meal?

Yes Jasmine!!! For the first time ever the baker I've been rooting for from early on has won. Great result #gbbo

I can't wait for him to be "like a new signing" for the bajillionth time in a couple of months. Although seriously, very unlucky and you have to feel for him #ncfc

Ironically this would probably deliver on Mamdani's promise to make housing cheaper

Fireworks night seems to bring out more and more killjoys every year

It's all so predictable! This is one reason why I'm always so sceptical that "championship/English football" experience is "so important", it doesn't seem to be helping Manning get us out of this rut #ncfc

A stone dealer once told me marble is the worst stone for a bathroom because it stains really easily

I heard there was a secret mash That turned into a graveyard smash But you don't really care for monsters, do you?

Hey, I've seen this zombie movie before!

This is less than 4mph?! That's an eminently doable, and oerfecisafe, speed?!? What does Fico have against fast walkers?

This article on AI feels absurdly optimistic. AI regularly gets things wrong, as such pushes a lot of misinformation into the world. The Internet put a lot of experts in your pocket, AI risks hiding the experts behind slop, so could increase the info advantage again www.economist.com/finance-and-...

This is priceless

Interesting read, for those interested in town planning/urban development

I wasn't following closely, but everything I saw (in national press) was about the chances of reform winning. If you are a professional politics person it really is quite embarrassing if you missed that nearly half the people were about to vote for a specific different party

I for one did not see this coming

The smol bean-ification of politics

I will always find stories like this inherently funny. You bought a bed that can stop working if the Internet goes down. You bought a bed that can stop working! My bed has no bells and whistles, but I *know* it will always be a working bed

If you think the country is full up, then maybe leaving is the most patriotic thing you can do

Staging a military intervention to topple a leftist government in Latin America? I see Trump isn't breaking *all* American political norms

Happy "smug Luddite with few/no smart devices in their home" day to all who celebrate!

This lives up to the teaser. What a bonkers story!

Why did they call it a sperm bank when they could've called it...

Really interesting article. Lends weight to my feelings that last season we were actually not that bad until the final run, and were largely better than we currently are. We'll never know if JHT would've been able to turn it around this season, but it's currently not looking better #ncfc

Ursula Le Guin was so much better at world building than Tolkien

He's just throwing his heart out to his audience!

Oh no, not Tim Westwood, the man who, at my Freshers week, shouted "whose getting laid tonight", and, "what happens in freshers week stays in freshers week" at a club full of 18-19 year olds, despite being in his 50s. Who could've known?!

I get why what Robert Jenrick says is worth discussing, but why do so many people here feel the need to comment on everything Matthew Goodwin says and does? He's a nobody! He was a bad academic and now he's a nothing. Let him sink into obscurity

Sacking JHT is looking pretty premature now! #ncfc really need to fix this problem quickly, it feels like we've gone in the wrong direction

@newyorker.com what have you done with the print options for your crossword?! Please put them back to normal

This isn't a dig at Bob, but the thing about the "few bad apples" thing is that the rest of the saying is "spoil the barrel". It's the original "nazi bar" allegory. You have to deal with the bad apples quickly, or your whole apple barrel goes bad

Love this

Landmark moment for bluesky. I found out about a piece of news here before the BBC news push notification. RIP Jane Goodall

Really fascinating podcast on what's happening in the American immigration system. Really worth a listen

Interesting to see National Rally's vote share drop. With all reservations around how representative French expats in Iberia are (I assume not very) feels like that's bucking the general trend

The small road connecting the Savoy Hotel to the Strand is (I believe) the only public road in the UK that you drive on the right

I'll be honest, I did genuinely see this headline and think it meant they'd arrested some who was professionally an actor. I have only just realised they meant whoever is doing it is professional 🤦

Is bluesky down, or have we all just stopped posting?

Wait, Tylenol is paracetamol?! They're talking about paracetamol?!?!

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Changing the rules after already making a deal with someone feels profoundly un-British. Whatever happened to fair play?

Turns out I rock (except on knowing about banana production)

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

Feels like a really long time since England have just played well. This is lovely to see! :)

Caps turning 50 tonight! #ncfc
