The commentators have gone mad on football now: It might not matter if the keeper touched the ball? What nonsense. Mind you Gary Neville also calls diving “being clever.” So.

@wormito.bsky.social Good win - especially with Arsenal drawing yesterday.

The amount of AI adverts already online is ridiculous.

Good morning. I am cosy and listening to the rain. I also want tea.

I said I’m not putting the heating on until October.

@wormito.bsky.social I know they save money if they wait till 1st November to sack Amorim but it could be pretty dire by then!

Does any in education know how much Accelerated Reader costs? I’ve looked on their website and either I’m being sense (likely) or they’re being vague about it. (Also likely.) Ta.

@wormito.bsky.social Prediction reminder!

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Feels a bit October this morning.

This weekend, journalists should conspire to make the first question of every press conference to male managers who are parents: “How do you cope with being a manager as well as a father? How can you commit to the job as a parent?” https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cx2rlg9j7kwo

I love how customer service is appalling at most big companies and you can’t speak to an actual human. Until you cancel and then they can’t get on the phone to you quick enough.

I’ve been saying “mischievous” wrong my entire life. This explains why I ever spell it right.

@wormito.bsky.social Are you watching?

@wormito.bsky.social Terland on bench? Hopefully to come on and bag the winner!

@wormito.bsky.social you watching the game?

This morning I had someone confidently tell me “their friend” taught at school where pupil identified as a cat and had a little tray. REALLY interesting asking them about ‘their friend’ and then where the story came from. Signposted them to @jonronson.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I think Magpies look stunning. But I do wish they’d shut the fuck up sometimes.

Warm innit?

This Bills game is not proving to be the welcome thrashing of the Fins I was promised …

@wormito.bsky.social Are you going tonight?

Desperately looking for some positive news please. I have really tried to avoid most current affairs chat and attempted to not dwell on negatives. But being in a primary school this term has sent me spiralling a bit. Grim.

@wormito.bsky.social New restaurant in Leicester. Might go jump through their tables:

This game so far is a decent example of why United are not likely to succeed, despite an encouraging opening. 1. Two in midfield are too easy to bypass and play through. 2. Players confidence gets eroded when it doesn’t work, they stop being brave and passes become safe/go astray.

Just used “higgledy-piggledy” genuinely in a text and it has been the highlight of my day.

@wormito.bsky.social I see Hojlund has scored 15mins into his Napoli debut….

Just turned on Radio 2 and it seems Romesh and Sara Cox have mistaken a national broadcast for their WhatsApp chat.

So you were all right: Dept Q is brilliant. Now I’m gonna have to get the books.

@wormito.bsky.social Enjoy the game! Interesting to see how Olme fits in and if Park gets on.

Bargain. A whole 10% off.

Me three days ago: Wow this must be the longest I’ve gone without having a cold! Me this morning: You had to say it didn’t you?

I wonder how often two people argue about their memory of an event and they’re both wrong? But both claim the other is ‘gaslighting’ them?

I don’t want to know why some of you are suddenly babbling weird Nadine Dorries. I was quite happy in my state of not remembering she existed.

That Wuthering Heights trailer is… It’s something. It is tickling some very particular prejudices of mine.

My wife's an infant school headteacher. The job is filled with joy but is always challenging and stressful. Reminders like this are what helps keep her going.

@wormito.bsky.social Shit. You see we’re selling Clinton to City?

NAP COMIX! #313 Please sign up for the Nap Comix Kickstarter: kickstarter.com/projects/flimsykitten/nap-comix

Is it actually possible to turn the internet off?

The most interesting thing about the TV show The Terminal List is that the main character is called James Reece. And his wife’s name is Lauren.

@wormito.bsky.social Ten Hag!

Nothing says ‘I love my country’ like vandalising your local area. So proud.

I really like saying Worcestershire Sauce.

@wormito.bsky.social Bring back Ole?

@wormito.bsky.social At least Maguire is already on the pitch to lead the come back!

Woah. That is a staggering stat.

This is astonishing. It’s full of big events and big emotions but with an aching drawing of the small moments and small feelings.

@wormito.bsky.social Don’t forget predictions!

Sometimes I get stuck contemplating profound song lyrics about life: “Star trekking across the universe, Boldly going forward, 'cause we can't find reverse.”

It sounds like September outside.

Started the week with a haircut. At least that way I feel like I’ve achieved something, no matter what else happens.
