I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

I know this is hopelessly naive but I genuinely never thought so many people would be comfortable using a website designed to help coordinate fascist activity.

To all my colleagues still using X: is this not enough evidence that you must stop using it?

so basketball englands new CEO is yet another person with no experience of the sport. Those who refuse to learn from history…….

nice to see the nufc chairman in the front row laughing along ….

‘progress’ in the CJS in the past overnight remands police get the file to court. Now. officers sends to police Criminal justice unit. They forward to CPS. CPS review/redact and send file to the court to put the file on the digital case system (common platform) 1/2

oh for a pg. #gb

perfect

quite brilliant.

this wasn’t a foul. Phoenix are good. Eagles aren’t. Refs are worse

my man still playing D

worst half court call in history at guildford with 6 seconds to go. We can’t keep having refs who don’t know the rules

Newcastle opened the doors for a full day of basketball at the Vertu Motors Arena, from U12 games in the morning to the senior women at night: courtvision.co.uk/2025/12/16/o...

tactical overtime beckoning

eagles aren’t good. caledonia not good either. Refs are atrocious. (posted 30 secs before the end of the game)

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain. Nobody with any sense or decency should be there. No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there. Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

not quite sure how i am going to describe the officiating in that game at cheshire. Happy SNB isn’t on tonight. Indefensible. I can’t give the league a pass. If it wants to be taken seriously then that ain’t it.

parody alert! ‘our immediate priority is to continue working with key stakeholders to maintain stability whilst contributing constructively to the process with FIBA’. The latest word salad of nonsense from the interim chair of the failed BBF.

maybe now (eventually) the @gbbasketball.bsky.social board will finally realise time is up and resign en masse? Doesn’t get any worse than being suspended by @fiba.basketball

awful awful awful reffing/tabling at sheffield in 3rd q. will break it down on #snb

at the copper box the ilford 2nd XI is back

The Phillies debuted the “Coldplay Kiss Cam” tonight 😂 (via X/JasonFox29)

Why did Trump pause the Tariffs?

‘And China retaliated with 84% Peter?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘And how did the President take it?’ ‘He said he didn’t like it but he’d have to along with it.’

New feature story: As Adem Bona develops, ‘personal coach' Fabulous Flournoy matches his energy ⬇️

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

We need to dispel some rumors. There is ZERO fentanyl trafficking on both of our HIMI islands. In fact, while our Gentoo penguins can travel hundreds of miles to bring partners their favorite pebble, they are incapable and unwilling of carrying even an ounce of illicit drugs.

This is one of the most significant market decisions in years and it's clearly a bunch of crap they pulled together using Wikipedia and AI in a couple of hours. Tariffs on uninhabited islands, separare tariffs on islands that are part of other counties... it's all nonsense.

Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

London strengthen their grip on top spot as they win and their nearest challengers lose. Manchester are upwardly mobile with three wins in a week. @shieldsbrief.bsky.social and I look back at all the action in this week's SNB linktr.ee/sundaynightb...

Congratulations to Newcastle, Bob and Terry would be proud!

I am just in disbelief. 33 years old and all I’ve seen to date is near misses and disappointment. Watching Jacob Murphy and Dan burn lift a trophy is like a fever dream.

Incredible timing as Sky News throw to Katie Barnfield in Newcastle just seconds before Newcastle United score. Couldn’t make it up.

Newcastle were full of running all afternoon m.youtube.com/watch?v=QvuP...

jesus. 51 years in. never thought i would see it. dan burn eddie howe joelinton take a bow
