Every MLB team should adopt a rescue dog and make them their official Bat Dog!🐶⚾ A shelter pup sprinting out to fetch bats between innings? Pure joy, second chances, and instant crowd favorite. Adopt. Train. Win hearts❤️

I'm getting a bit of a cough so I might fuck off down the Crucible for a bit

Me and my kid visited the Museum of Home. I saw something that felt like a true attack. It was a scene from a home in 2005. Me and another mom with teens stood there as our kids asked, "you had this?" We were grateful.

Delighted for Cov City - not least as I married into a family full of fans. First part of the five way blended family accumulator is in. Now need: Arsenal PL Champs (Mum in Law) Southampton Promotion (Dad in Law) Villa EL Win/CL Place (Brother) Carlisle Promotion (Me) Good odds last Summer…

WRESTLING!

Listen, fair play.

Based on the replies to this tweet I’m about to have an unpopular opinion. ‘The Magus’ might be my least favourite book I have ever read. I hated it and willed it to end.

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

Saw PROJECT HAIL MARY on Saturday. That is just a great movie. Been a run of old school story, performance and character driven flicks in the last year - ROOFMAN, CRIME 101 two I also loved. Hope that’s the new norm. Room for these, franchises and high brow stuff.

Sounds like the perfect set up for the greatest TV series ever made.

“Shoot Out the Lights” by Richard and Linda Thompson was released on this date in 1982.

Don’t even like F1 but setting this to that song even has me pumped for the season. All time banger.

What he said 👇 Quite simply one of the best records ever made.

I don't know why I have this photo on my phone but I'm glad I do

💯

Aftersun. Started crying thinking about it a fortnight later. I don’t need that again, thank you very much.

I absolutely love this new record by Agriculture. Probably because it basically answers the question - ‘what if early 2000s grunge revivalists Seafood made a Deacheaven record?’ And that is - as they say - a bit of me.

Sometimes the people do a little thing and it’s just for me.

The thing about Casablanca being the greatest film of all time is people don't believe you and then they watch it

Me watching all disciplines of snowboarding, a pastime I have never tried 👇

*looking at the Mona Lisa* there is no way a turtle painted this

Is it a Rangers match if you don’t see the phrase ‘Tavernier (Pen)’ on the scoresheet?

Done my best to scroll past the dreadful looking Aronofsky AI slop. Will say this - it still looks better than Mother! IMO That film was absolutely crap.

‘Have you ever seen anything like this?’ Still incredible that, as a Carlisle fan, I get to say - ‘yep, I have mate’.

Grindcore is taken guys

Got SSN on at my in-laws. Breathless reporting that ‘a Saudi club’ would like to sign Dembele. Aye, no shit. I bet they do. I want Carlisle to sign Bukayo Saka. Absolutely laughable nonsense.

Rachel and Stephen eh? Listen, fair play. #TheTraitors #TraitorsUK

Roxy a genuine worst of all time player. In the same breath as S2 Ross. Two days in a row she’s gone in hard on someone who’s annoyed her at breakfast whilst claiming she’s always thought they were off. Dismal #TheTraitors

Spot on. Casting this season has been excellent. Format wrinkles have been fun, but - much like a good Traitor - that true success is hiding in plain sight. Series 3 was good because the format is good, but there was a lot of self centred wallies who had forgotten it was a game. #TheTraitors

I’m not ant-VAR at all. I am anti whatever this palaver is. There’s no ‘right’ answer, just give the bloody goal #NEWMCI

Here’s a note from back in 2025 when this take was current: The Geese album is properly, properly good. Also great that something this uncompromisingly weird has got both critical and mainstream plaudits.

The 👑

No Richard Thompson on any of these lists. All great players, but he is absolutely near the top of my pantheon.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

A perfect 90's LP? Here ya go:

Honestly think sending in Carse as a ‘pinch hitter’ is the worst thing England have done all series, despite the win. Just taking the piss out of everyone - ‘we know best’. Unlikeable morons, entirely lacking humility #TheAshes

5 reasons why The Shining is a Christmas movie; 1. Snow 2. Red rum 3. Hyperactive kids 4. Big snuggly jumpers 5. Huge family row ending with someone putting an axe through the door

I've been meaning to write about the glorious/disastrous Futbology app since 2019, when I found myself at a Danish second division game for no real reason, other than the app told me there was a match close to where I was. So here it is! www.nytimes.com/athletic/690...

The most obvious example of this for me is that people no longer say ‘excuse me’ - literally wide eyed when I hear it. Instead people sprint up behind you and huff or try to cut past you without warning in a shop then grizzle when you nudge them due to lack of warning. Just be polite ffs!

Craig is spot on. It’s a good song. McCartney knows exactly what he is doing! ‘Happy Christmas’ - as with all Lennon solo work - is absolute guff, though.

It’s a really dated opinion to write off Spielberg, without question one of the best to ever do it, as a hack. If you put a Top Ten list of his work you’d leave 5 bangers off of it

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

‘Few small beers’ is one of the greatest line deliveries in cinematic history. Literally etched on my brain.

Mine is performatively saying ‘excuse me’ when I am stalked along a narrow pavement and then nudged past without acknowledgment. I don’t even walk slowly. Just say I’m in the way and I will happily move ffs!

Carlisle United’s Nacho Novo

Mostly concerned what this means for GB at the WBC. Don’t let us down Nats!

Ollie Pope is merely a Gen Z Mark Ramprakash. Awful stuff. #Ashes

Lot of championship rings on that stage. And also Aaron Judge.
