Quite a lot of people lost someone, maybe an elderly relative, during the heatwave. My Aunt Barbara, very ill with advanced dementia, died yesterday aged 91. She was unmarried, no kids and I had been taking care of her affairs for the past few years. That’s the least interesting thing about her. 1

Sam Matterface continues to deliver the opposite of the goods

On checking the BBC site this morning I read this "In just over 48 hours, Scotland's chances of reaching the World Cup knockouts for the first time have dropped from 42% to just 0.07%."

Does anyone remember when Phil Woolas immigration policy was considered beyond the pale?

I want to die.

Brits, Our Friends In The North, one of the finest drama series of the past 35 years, is starting a run of repeats on BBC Four this evening from 10.20pm. (I feel old; I watched this when it was new.) www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Shearer's analysis is almost entirely based on an imaginary team with a striker like him in it

Can anyone help? Didn't Paddy Ashdown get into it with Douglas Murray in an episode of Question Time and it ended with Murray asking Ashdown if he'd killed anyone, causing him to turn away in disgust because he was in the SBS? Did I imagine this every happening or was it with someone else?

"Its gone too widespread. It used to attract open minded people who were looking for something new. "And people were a lot more friendly...."

ANDY BURNHAM HAS RETURNED FROM EXILE

If you can put the fact he lost the support of his party aside, do we get a kick out of making people do this? Is that part of it?

Oh this is so sad

Hard for this team to be good vibes when this keeps happening

It is very good

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

SET PIECE FC ENTERS THE CHAT

Absolute scenes at the fan park in Lisbon when they equalised

This took me about three goes to get through because it is so touching. The ensuing thread also features surely the correct way to refer to @jamesrball.com

Being on Bluesky is in itself a form of age verification.

I’m in favour of bringing back capital punishment for u16s lecturing me about the environment and then putting items in the wrong kitchen bins, so I have to sort the rubbish before putting it in the wheelie bins.

Forget Cruyff, Gullit and Van Basten this is the best ever moment in Dutch football.

Ally McCoist is hungover I will die on this hill

Bluesky overrun by British teenagers at night because it's the one place the Labour government will never check.

The dumbest thing about this is that teenagers are much better at identifying AI slop and propaganda than Boomer and Gen X users who continue to be brainwashed and radicalized at scale. If you want to fix society, ban access to social media for 65-year-olds.

Has anyone tried Curacao + Advocaat in a cocktail?

He's not working, it's not the president's house, and you're celebrating the assisted suicide of a once great nation.

Observation from life, having been around longer than this guy (and married to same wonderful woman since age 21): I have yet to meet a man who goes out of his way to bait others as "barely straight," who doesn't have issues of this sort himself Have never met a "real man" who bothers with this BS

Fucking yes. Go chiefs! Amazing stuff

canada denying thomas partey entry into canada because of the charges against him really highlights the utter obscenity of the usa denying omar artan to the usa for no reason other than the crime of being somalian

Not surprised Paraguay got thumped when they're managed by Lee Anderson

They tried to hide but I got em anyway

the young man opposite me on the Eurostar are his pain au chocolat with a knife and fork, which I thought might just be some nervous level of formalism until I realised he was also reading Atlas Shrugged

Had to rewind. This is so funny

What the fuck is Simon Case doing chatting to R4 as a mate of John Healey?
