Weird not to see real estate expansion projects, chatbot TAs, or ed-tech privatization on this report of what makes university experience valuable to students

#floodlightfriday All quiet at Aldershot

Insane dystopian shit here, totally unacceptable. I expect politicians and commentators to be outraged by it, regardless of their opinion of the crimes these people were convicted of.

Josh Adejokun scores a massive header for @nyintfc.bsky.social Everyone not named Josh Adejokun in this photograph is in awe, just like all of us looking at this photograph. CCFC sent us their finest & we are indebted to this mighty club. @bernardvere.bsky.social @footballlibrettist.bsky.social

As a child in the 1970s, I remember thinking: gosh, when I grow up I hope there are no libraries, no English Literature degrees, no bookshops, no decent public services, no Top of the Pops, no Woolworths, just an endless plain of sport and home computers. Feel blessed to have lived to see it happen.

“I know we don’t look like a family but in this town we’re heroes.” #CCFC

Not knowing what the worst people in the world were thinking every fucking day

At our first home league match as a fan-owned club, 256 fans came down to the "Stray Dog" pitch round the back of Wadham Lodge. 1712 at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social is unreal.

* Sunday's Women's First Team game postponed * Sadly our opponents have informed us they can't raise a team and are forfeiting Sunday's league game 😢😢 That means our first ever Dogs Day is off too 🐶 💔 Apologies to all - this has never happened to us before. www.claptoncfc.co.uk/2026/02/28/m...

Best result of the year - welcome home Finn

⚽ Home international friendly ⚽ Clapton CFC Men’s First Team will host New York Internationsl FC in pre-season at the Old Spotted Dog Ground 🔥 It's the Josh Adejokun derby as he brings his current side @nyintfc.bsky.social over to play his former team. www.claptoncfc.co.uk/2026/02/21/c...

We're looking for more information on this mystery shirt donated to the Old Spotted Dog Ground clubhouse collection... ✊️ National Union of Mineworks crest ✊️ 'Sandinista' instead of a sponsor www.claptoncfc.co.uk/2026/02/07/s...

Quite funny that Starmer's allies are waking up to this point now … Cuts to Winter Fuel… not in the manifesto Disability benefit cuts… not in there either Cutting jury trials… also not there Digital ID… no mention Raising employers NI… nope Freezing tax threholds… nah Contracts with Palantir… no

What happens when you let AI write match reports? You end up with reports for games that never happened. Levante v Villarreal was postponed due to bad weather but according to this site it was played, finished 0-0 and was very dull. They even awarded a man of the match! www.bwin.com/en/news/post...

Happy New Year! From promotions and paths to Billy Bragg and toilet blocks, here's an end-of-year review for Clapton CFC's 2025 www.claptoncfc.co.uk/2026/01/01/c...

Ffs Orient. At least #floodlightfriday was good

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

Just realised where I’d seen the redevelopment plan for Old Trafford before

This - finally - is the definitive musical history Sheffield so richly deserves. GROOVY, LAIDBACK AND NASTY is @danieldylanwray.bsky.social's authoritative and hugely entertaining story of the city, told through its independent artists, scenes and spirit. Coming May 2026 geni.us/GroovyLaidba...

"If you don't let me punch you in the face, the other guy will kick you in the nuts" doesn't seem like a sustainable political message.

Update for the UK politicians who hadn't heard of Maccabi Tel Aviv before this week and decided they could be a useful stick with which to beat British Muslims.

A thread on Barney Ronay's article criticising the decision Birmingham City Council and supported by West Midlands police to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from traveling to Birmingham. It might be a depressing decision but it's not a terrible one. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I am genuinely baffled and distressed as to why the UK government is intent on destroying UK's genuinely world-leading universities, who bring £265 billion into the economy and support more than 250,000 jobs. This tax will kill us. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

BBC journalist Nick Robinson’s “in-depth” article on “free speech” makes no mention of the 1500 people arrested for holding cardboard signs in recent months… Why would it? It’s only the best UK example of state oppression on rights & freedoms in modern times… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s called The Beautiful Game for the effortless way it brings people together. Josh Adejokun, a @claptoncfc.co.uk legend, launches himself into @nyintfc.bsky.social history books, with one foot in East LDN, the other in NYC, by scoring NYIFC’s first APSL (semi pro) goal with this monster header.

Al-Sharif killed in what appears to be a targeted Israeli attack on tent housing journalists outside al-Shifa hospital.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Disgusted to see this beautiful landscape ruined by wind turbines.

My plans for a major retail emporium are being threatend by wholesalers who won't let me steal the stock.

Had to take a step out of my sports writing comfort zone this week to say a thing that needed to be said. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

@oldospics.bsky.social Orient, well-known in France apparently, on the front cover of Mirror of Sports, winning a cup match v Bury in 1923

So basically just sort of banning people who enjoy a sport for fun really?

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

#flloodlightfriday Admira Wacker v SKN St Pölten. Happening now

Due to the loss of space at the moment with the toilet block building work, we can’t take a much bigger crowd than usual. So if we hit 850 spectators - which is possible - we will have hit capacity and will need to operate on a one-in one-out basis afterwards. So get here earlier!

If the government really wanted to put people smugglers out of business, they would open safe routes for refugees.

Think I’ve found the Malevich inspo for Arsenal’s numbers #arsmnu #arsenal #kazimirmalevich #whiteonwhite

It would be great to receive a bumper amount of donations for our hygiene bank collection. @magpieprojectuk.bsky.social support mums and young children in temporary accommodation. They need: ● Toothpaste ● Toothbrush ● Shower gel ● Shampoo ● Deodorant ● Sanitary towels
