Le capitaine paraguayen donne rendez-vous aux bleus sur le parking du Wallmart de Philadelphie #PARFRA

This referee is incredibly bad, and the Paraguay team really have brought some old school 90s violence. #PARFRA

#Corinthians have a new sponsor (seemingly a content-creator platform) whose logo will be replaced on @sccpfutfeminino.bsky.social shorts with a message to end violence against women & girls. Given the questions RDZ faced on appointment, #THFC should maybe consider a similar move?

WOW

aaaaaaaaaaaaargh (for the nth year in a row)

Amazed that they haven’t absolutely wallpapered their profiles with this news, but @jim.londoncentric.media @pollysmythe.bsky.social and @londoncentric.media won an Orwell Prize (and were runners-up in another category) last night) - big congrats! www.orwellfoundation.com/homelessness...

Had forgotten that @mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social is so fully #COYS that she just referenced on #TopComment the video of the Arsenal fans hubristically slagging off #THFC from up a tree, which then splits and collapses… 🤍🤍🤍

“I have since paid for the ad-free version of every streaming service just to be spared from all of the Ozempic and Wegovy ads.” Aubrey Gordon and Stephanie Yeboah spoke with us about GLP-1 drugs and the effect of their prevalence in media. Full report ▶️ youtu.be/j17UWvpcjm4

I picked a hell of a day to misunderstand how BT would handle my switch from old-school broadband to full fibre (by just switching it off before the new connection is in place)… Looks like I will be working from a steamy local cafe instead…

Has anyone I know used Wanderwallet to make Pix payments to Brazil?

There’s an interview with me about the BBC in @documentary.org - great work by @nickkinocritic.bsky.social to wrangle what was a really wide-ranging conversation into sharper focus: documentary.org/online-featu...

You may recall that the Salt Lake Tribune is, after a lot of planning and inquiry, ditching their paywall so they can reach the entire community as a non-profit. It's a fascinating challenge to meet. www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/salt... For example...

Big UK media scoop: Ministers will back the UK’s broadcasters with proposals to force social media and video platforms such as YouTube and Meta to make public service news content more prominent - a major victory for the PSB but a fresh battle with Big Tech www.ft.com/content/7f14...

This reminds me of the #Mayors in #Japan who resisted #privacy invading Juki-Net (national ID database) in the early 2000s - refusing to connect their areas to the system.

Well, I was online at the right time and logged in as a member for the #BayeuxTapestry booking-palooza, but once I got on the site, it kept making me re-register, and then turfed me out and made me go to the back of the queue. Very 90s nightclub bouncer vibes. Am I not cool enough...?

Absolutely *amazing* episode of The Critic and Her Publics, on #translation. It starts with the English translations of #Proust, & spirals out from there. (Once upon a time I thought I’d end up as a literary translator.) https://pca.st/episode/06a75288-9445-46f9-a3a2-665d1209f32e#translation

🇮🇳 The Indian workers training AI robots to take their jobs With a smartphone strapped to her head, Indian housewife Nagireddy Sriramyachandra films herself performing everyday chores to train AI-powered humanoid robots to take on household jobs in the future.

I literally wrote a report defending the BBC in January, so it pains me to say this - its editorial decision-making is in a worrying state at the moment. #belfast

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

The government's announcement of a suite of laws targeting people paid by foreign proxies to wreak havoc in Britain was understandably overshadowed by horrific events yesterday Here's a deep dive into what the new powers hope to achieve, and how there may still be gaps inews.co.uk/news/uk-crac...

Enveloped by ‘A Field Guide To Getting Lost’, read by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, as first, utterly drenched by rain, I sit on the train to a hospital appointment, then slowly drying out in the waiting room, & now as I head home (all’s well). What an extraordinary, beautiful book.

Sad that Mr Gently Benevolent and Hercules Shipwright are no longer with us.

People with fewer community spaces, groups & activities are turning away from the two-party system in greater numbers. New @jrf-uk.bsky.social analysis of the recent elections shows that community need may be an even stronger predictor of anti-establishment voting than deprivation alone. 1/6
