Edinburgh castle failing to render, likely thanks to the AWS outage

In 1988, whilst carrying his baby daughter Lauren, Kenny Dalglish interrupted a post-match interview Alex Ferguson was having with "You'll get more sense out of her". Proper animosity, proper beef. Now they're sharing Dairy Milk Buttons like two kids at nursery. Game's gone.

I remember, many years ago now (with ny transport strategist hat on) being asked in a BBC interview if Crossrail would be Khan's biggest legacy. The thing that had the biggest impact on London. I said: "No. It'll be ULEZ." (The low emissions zone)

All sorts of Chimney Sweep drama playing out in my emails. Another reason why I exclusively use Dick Van Dyke.

All my comics have happy endings!

this exists it is called thinking

Nick Faldo?! Hahahaha, fabulous.

Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

Wow. Has nobody got any backbone anymore?

Fouls and handballs in the box should result in an indirect free kick from where the incident happened - not a penalty. Penalties are too big a punishment for a lot of minor offences especially given how specialist a lot of takers are these days. Also Brighton are just really annoying, sorry.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award, "It's not lost on me why I might have won this award" "Aside from presenting Match of the Day.." "Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

The problem for Meta is that when you read stuff like this very few people’s reaction is “well that doesn’t sound like the sort of thing they’d do”

My mum keeps this in the kitchen, but I decided to move it. So far, she hasn’t noticed.

Let's be clear: The flood of hatred sloshing across Britain right now is 100% a product of the political and media elite scapegoating minorities for the harms that those elites have visited upon the country.

Some of the worst public figures we have are cock a hoop that Rayner’s resigned and that makes me sad.

Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

“It’s a good day for the Guardian, for media in the public interest, and for women” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Remarkable range of wardrobe on display this morning. I’ve seen someone in short shorts and a T shirt all the way through to a full on winter puffer jacket and heavy jeans. Choose well and good luck.

THREE “Happy birthday to yous” within earshot with the last hour in this open plan office. Unprecedented scenes.

Starting to have my doubts about this Musk guy

None of this happened, none of these pictures are real, AI slop like this makes the world dumber and worse and the companies peddling it 24/7 are destroying civilization.

These are the top replies, being financially rewarded for posting this stuff, and the explanation offered by the site’s own AI for why it’s like that. Anyway just flicking through the Sunday newspapers reading about some minor content infractions that Ofcom might look into at the BBC/Channel 4.

Magnificent scenes in Sainsbury’s. Some dude just knocked a load of toothbrushes off a shelf with a protruding baguette. He picked them all up, put them all back, and as he was walking away he knocked them all off again with the same baguette. I laughed and laughed and helped him put them back again

Insight: dog is very good boy / girl.

Nick has posted on Bluesky about the Stroke Association getting slammed on LinkedIn for posting a meme on Threads mocking a CEO allegedly caught mid-affair in a viral TikTok video from a Coldplay concert.

holy shit lmao

Hahahahaha. THE FOOTBALL! #TheFootball

Back in the day on Twitter I would have done a weak “bowling in the Deep” pun based on Akash Deep bowling brilliantly in #TheCricket and it would have got 11 likes and 2 replies. Times change.

So my mum decided to try using Uber. Long story short, she downloaded the wrong app and has accidentally signed up as a driver

The key moment was perhaps Matty Cash undercooking a back pass and Martinez deciding to wipe out Hojlund and get himself sent off when he didn’t have to - but sure, hang the ref out to dry Emery #TheFootball

Enjoyably Partridge vibes to this

I’d love to know how they decided on 20 as the number of times each person could vote on #Eurovision. Imagine the meeting. - So how many votes shall we let each voter have? - 15? - No, no, that’s not nearly enough - 25? - Don’t be RIDICULOUS

This isn’t an original thought but Sweden’s entry is a JOY. It’s 2 mins 30 of brilliance and then they have the key change and start bobbing up and down in a synchronised way and it transcends brilliant to a new level I can’t describe #Eurovision 🇸🇪

Trump with tariffs

Well it looks like we need a new Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops.

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

150% TARIFFS ON ALL MEETINGS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL

This remains true #TheSnooker

Some people are really really good at snooker #TheSnooker

Sending love and support to all trans, non-binary and gender queer people today (and every day). 💜 💜 💜

What a nincompoop.

The Peruvian embassy in London has Paddington in the window which is nice. Although I suspect they’re probably over it by now.

HE'S LITERALLY READING A SALES PITCH
