Excellent work. Let's hope it gets a contructive and positive response.

Interesting chat with @migueldelaney.bsky.social and @david-ornstein.bsky.social on SSN re: managers fronting up for anything and everything, rather than e.g. DoFs doing pressers on transfers. It would be welcome if this happened. Extend it to owners and stop them hiding behind their employees.

The world capitulates. 150 countries agree plan to stop global companies shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, but US companies will be exempt from 15% global minimum tax. They make profit we fund the cost. The race to the bottom will accelerate.

At a time when the US is proving to be actively working against our national interests, and our dependence on the US for aircraft and missile supply and support is raising massive concern, this is a truly perverse decision.

Evening Bluesky folk. Someone posted info about how to delete your account and data on that hellsite, could anyone oblige, please?

One example of how Grok is being used to target women. Swedish Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch being sexualised, degraded, and humiliated step-by-step by Grok. All the images accurately reflect the prompts provided.

Not least because the largest energy reserves are not fossil fuels.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Not only is this a bad reason, it's likely not even the real reason - which is probably that they fear antagonising Musk and Trump, as well as giving Reform another stick to beat them with. And so, out of fear, they continue to post in a cesspool of racism, disinformation and child pornography.

Gawd big football clubs are badly run aren't they? Three sackings in three days. They really can't be trusted with the sort of money the game's bonkers economics bestows on them

Good for Reuters for changing their headline. Pressure works. Grok did not do this. Elon Musk did.

grok didn't say shit. Grok is not sentient. This is you helping musk escape accountability for this shit. Journalism fail.

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes." This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize. Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

A quite extraordinary, terrible story. 'Internet fortune-teller' indeed. But it's this kind of tinfoil-hat mindset that is now driving US foreign policy and has the codes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

And again. C'mon @tottenhamhotspur.com, as the man said, do better.

‪ Thought this was about the monarch for a second.

I guess it's no surprise as to what Trump and his crazed gang are up to, though it does feel like US foreign policy with the mask off rather than anything fundamentally new. Also no surprise that a supine and weak UK (and to extent EU) are being weak and supine. Realpolitik, eh?

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

From Manchester United to Crawley and Morecambe, it seems to be an almost universal phenomenon that rich men believe running a football club successfully will be easier than it in fact proves. What is it that someone owners learn and why do some seem never to learn?

Ha ha

@tottenhamhotspur.com Hi there! You really should start using this more and abandon X. Not sure if you've seen but there's quite a lot of concern about the way it generates sexual images of children, never mind the rest of the issues associated with the platform. It's very bad brand association.

Stand by for Jim Ratcliffe asking the tax payer to fund Amorim's compo.

The commentary on this clip is worth the entire licence fee www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

In the spirit of positivity that @hal.thelastboyscout.uk rightly called for (it’s all too easy just to moan, guilty m’lud), some suggestions for What Tottenham™ Can Do Next.

Only a quarter of voters thought Leeds’ team classic was MotD goal of the month. Game’s gone.

Amorim probably should have kept that in house (maybe he has and is at end of tether) but he speaks to the wider truth that the demands on managers have increased while their means to meet them have declined. They are head coaches - not managers.

Arsenal will win the league because they the best team all round. Citeh don’t defend well enough.

Would like to reply but can’t, so: Fine. What then?

Won a trophy and qualified for the CL seven months ago. Blame the manager patsy all you like but that’s some achievement by the owners to destroy the feels to such a degree so quickly.

Good goal but ball-watching defending after multiple warnings. The approach has invited it. But these players need to step up on the pitch; stop hiding behind it.

I’m no tictacs expert but if you’re going to play on the break when 1-0 up, you need players with a decent final ball, no?

Great, here comes the ex-Goon 8ft toddler. We know what happens next.

The Duke of Westminster’s Estate, Forest of Bowland, 1989, photo by Fay Godwin.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

England men’s Test team doing their best to maintain the global rules-based order of not being much cop.

Ok let’s keep playing this.

Forest with five defeats in six, highlighted on MotD. Everyone watching will know the exception.

West Ham another club badly run by owners who are out of step with the fans. Sullivan and Brady gifted a huge stadium by the tax payer and yet they are still messing up.

So, to clarify, spray-painting a plane is terrorism, holding a sign to support the organisation those that spray-painted the plane were members of is terrorism, but taking a foreign head of state hostage needs to wait for a press conference from the hostage taker for nuance?

Donald Trump - between his first and second terms as President - bragging that he would have 'taken over' Venezuela and 'gotten all that oil'. And yet we're told it's all about drugs.

After spending years insisting Trump is a "global peacemaker" Nigel Farage now switches to suggesting his illegal assault on Venezuela, followed by the kidnapping of its President, is "a good thing". Trump's British cheerleaders not wasting any time www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/trumps-ill...

All we are saying, is give the FIFA World Peace Prize a chance.

In which case medical staff should do pressers and answer Qs on fitness? No, IMO. But maybe another illustration of how managers have to front up for more and more as their power dilutes.

Note the date.

We presume Putin was involved in these ‘negotiations’? Ukraine in even more peril today.

Well, 2026 has got off to a great start, hasn’t it?
