I know we don't need to keep doing this but if that performance were under Ange it would be labeled as defensively naive Appreciate it is early days for Frank but it is only how he is perceived which is changing the rhetoric to that being a 'resilient' performance

No Traitors commentary until the Spurs game is finished please 🙏🏻

Could be Gray at LB but based on previous games this season, I think Spurs are lining up like this

I feel like I'm close to losing all interest in football. There are so few teams I enjoy watching now and I get basically no excitement from it. Think the only remedy might be taking a big break from it for a while

I believe Spurs once again have the most first team injuries of all the Premier League clubs

I'm on the other side of the stadium so might just be my vision but it looks like Danso is doing the offside trap warmup and I can't see Romero out there?

Destiny injured or being rested?

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

I do wonder whether all the people who responded to the assassination with "This means war" & "No mercy for liberals" etc, are capable of perceiving that Trump could not give less of a shit

On the train from Montréal back to Toronto and will fly back to London tomorrow. Had the most incredible 2 weeks going between cities and lakeside cabins. However, I think I will now always regret not moving here with my friends a few years ago when I had the chance

I am out of reach from Tottenham's ability to disappoint

If fans have issue with Bentancur because of last summer, that is totally valid. However, I think 'analysis' calling him bad is completely off-mark. Spurs bad build-up is structural as well as profile & 29 is not too old for a player on a mid-length contract

Played my wildcard this week and I have either optimised my team or completely destroyed it #fpl

Trying to pack efficiently for 2 weeks in Canada but the forecast is highs of 23°, lows of 14°, sunny and rainy. Im spending times in cities and more rural areas, so I guess I just need to bring all the clothes I own

This has been out less than a week but I'm pretty sure it is already going to be one of my most listened to songs of the year. Something about it hits just right as Autumn weather is kicking in

The richest man in the world is a racist with the emotional development of a 12 year old, his friend who finances the right believes he’s fighting the Antichrist, and the President is a dimwitted sex criminal who thinks he’s a polymath. Curtailing their influence is literally the government’s job.

It's my fault for curating my social media timelines the way that I have, but I can't be on here. I am sick to death of seeing all of their cruel stupid faces and listening to their nonsense on a daily basis

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

To celebrate the first day of Fall, enjoy Aardman's beautiful stop motion short for the 10th anniversary of Over The Garden Wall.

I can't tell whether RFK and Trump are doing this only because they believe medical conspiracy theories or if this is part of a malicious scheme to frame neurodivergence as a choice or fault of the parent, then go on to remove all kinds of social & financial support for neurodivergent people

14 defensive contributions!? Forget what I said, we're fine

My Kudus -> Semenyo transfer may work out long term but has gone about as badly as I could have predicted this week #fpl

I think FPL has crashed as it won't let me use my wildcard. Maybe it is a sign to keep my team mostly the same

Feeling incentivised to smash through my watchlist on Disney+ then cancel it forever

Sufferball in the truest sense. I wish I wasn't watching this

Please put Xavi at 10. Even for just 10 mins

Don't know if it's been commented on yet but attendance feels very low this evening at Spurs game

Feedback was really positive! I still think the core premise of the story is a bit confusing but lovely to have some affirming feedback

Psychologically, we're living in very hard times for all who care deeply about science, empathy, equity, nature, and rights for all citizens of the planet, human or otherwise. Find strength, solace, and community in like-minded others, positive action, and in Mother Earth 🌎

Thought I would chill out this evening by putting on a film I love but haven't seen in a long time and being a complete idiot I thoughtlessly pick Pan's Labyrinth

Events in Central London today have left me feeling tired, sad and frustrated

If I were the UK Government I would simply not route all my communications through the platform whose owner just called for regime change in Britain and said "fight back or die"

I'm genuinely grateful for the solidarity, irrespective of how rare this is from a politician. But fascism can't be reduced to displaced economic concerns. It doesn't stand up analytically, it won't help politically or strategically, and I really wish the left (of which I'm part) wouldn't do this.

So the far-right scrape together tens of thousands of people and they get a live blog on most news services, more than 100,000 people turn up for Trans Pride in London and it is barely even registered. The media aren't just reporting a reality, they are constructing it.

If I had to make a baseless prediction, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Nintendo do something like Mario Galaxy 3 to combine with the film release next year

Ok, I wouldn't say anything here is huge in terms of announcements but a lot of fun stuff to be getting on with!

About to catch up with the Nintendo Direct so I can only apologise for excitedly talking about things that were announced a few hours ago

Managed to submit a short story to my writing group again for the first time in months Feeling proud that I took a concept through to 3rd draft. Don't feel like it is any good but I think the questions I have about this piece which could be answered through feedback, will definitely help me improve

Technically correct decisions made by referees or VAR are less important than a referee maintain the equilibrium and flow of a match. VAR should be scrapped not because they get decisions wrong, but because the accuracy of the decision isn't that important anyway

Again, the exhausting thing for me in the current era is not only being treated like fucking idiots by actual idiots, but the mainstream press position that treating me like a fucking idiot is in fact the reasonable position.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Loved Ange and believe he was hugely underestimated last season. However, I think this could be a bit of a disaster

Sleepy old man 🤍

Glad people are enthused by Vinai Ventakesham's interview. For me personally, I find his communication style sets off a bit of a 'corporate bullshit' alarm for me and I struggle to pay attention. However, if the general consensus is positive, I am pleased

Doing my annual couple of days working in my old high school. Despite having done it for several years, it's hard not to feel weird about it

I thought this would just be a "has trans gals and drag queens dancing" but yeah no it is hard to get a clearer message than a few dozen signs saying PROTECT THE DOLLS and TRANS RIGHTS NOW and TRANSPHOBES CAN'T GET LAID Good fuckin work, Sabrina

get why she had to go but irksome she lost her job to something quite complex and, let's be honest, reasonably minor in the grand scheme of things, when shadow cabinet members get to merrily hang out with Eddie Swastika without any repercussions

The News is showing the Reform conference live this afternoon. They have just FOUR out of 650 seats! Will the Green Party get the same blanket news coverage? Or Plaid Cymru both of whom have four seats? Will the DUP who have five seats have their speeches beamed out live by the major TV channels?

I do not really care about Labour at this point but the sheer hypocrisy of a Labour MP being called out by right wing parties and the media for underpaying tax is giving me a nosebleed. I know it is nothing new but the cognitive dissonance is staggering

I think it's pretty obvious that Spurs will now win the league this year so Spurs fans will argue for eternity whether Levy contributed to eventual league success or not
