Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes. onemileatatime.com/news/economi...

No Statsguruing. What is Joe Root's test batting average in Australia (where he's played 14 tests and never scored a century)?

Has ITV's News coverage gotten worse since they ditched ITV News? No. So would BBC News 24 being axed in favour of some actual coverage of Parliament, devolved and local government be a bad thing?

The BBC DG needs to be someone who will look at the media environment and pivot to gambling.

On just in case Dan is up yet

These two Sundays really are Hitchens' Christmas aren't they? Gets to rail against the dying of the light about clocks last Sunday and now gets to say that the UK shouldn't have fought to prevent Belgium and France being invaded by Germany in 1914.

Let's unite the country behind the best cricket score

Got the connections at least

Australia right now

Forza Italia!!!!

It's the hope that kills you

Oh Scotland

Would love this Grok thingy to see what it thinks of Agape

One of the funniest things about getting older is watching people my age succumb to nostalgia about these terrible films.

Can't help feeling that a government website shouldn't be selling advertising space online.

I see the BBC is making a radio series attacking the subject of a Ken Loach film www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Haven't seen a Kennedy get out of dodge that fast since Chappaquiddick.

Keep forgetting this place exists but I feel you lot won't judge me for: a) realising the smallest England shirt number tonight is Scurran's 58 b) calculating the average number in the XI is 78.6 c) finding the unused England numbers since 2022 are 1, 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, 21, 43, 45, 64, 69, 73, 74, 91

My first thought was is this at the Vauxhall Road End?

Sky in the UK doing the same is insane too

Travelling 400 miles every day does seem a bit excessive?

At the risk of sounding like a magistrate, who is Benson Boone?

CCHQ apparently chipper tonight, I’m told. As the polls close, they’re “utterly convinced” Susan Hall has won VA-Gov on a low turnout.

OK but you have to say that to Vladimir Guerro Jnr

40 YEARS AGO TODAY: Edge Of Darkness, named the fourth greatest TV drama of all time by the BFI and recipient of six Baftas, begins. Prestige TV well before The Sopranos became the very first drama series (we'll land that job at the Guardian one day)

Can confirm the same happened to me in Manchester, England! THEY REFUSED TO EVEN OPEN THE POLLING STATION FOR ME. This is my constitutional right and I'm being denied!!!1!!!!?

Seen people online getting optimistic about the men's Ashes. Oh you sweet summer child.
