A peculiar thing about following #LFC is how often I hear the sentence "The first time they arrived in our box, they scored"

Fazakerley 🤣🤣

No-one is going to want to hear this, but when #LFC are awful, I read more. 18 books read in 2024, while we were good. 34 so far in 2025- major acceleration since September! Reading/ listening to books is a great way of diverting attn away from the beloved but currently clueless Reds #booksky

@theguardian.com seems to ignore suggestion from @hcrichardson.bsky.social that the "Trump plan" as leaked is Russian with a clunky English transl - hence reads like a Putin wish list. "Ukraine’s allies to meet at G20 summit after Zelenskyy warns of ‘impossible choice’ over Trump plan to end war"

I asked eight cybersecurity and technology experts for their favorite tech-related novels and compiled them in this holiday reading list, adding 2 of my recent favorites. I would love to hear your recommendations as well!

Hmm. Politician instructs science org to renounce its research and findings as heresy and publicly declare its belief in what politician tells them is true.

A tough watch. These fellas are lugging a lot of baggage this season. Football really not the most important thing

Am trying to read more female-authored speculative fiction. Just finished: Woman on the edge of time (1976) - Marge Piercey The midnight shift (2021) - Seon-Ran Cheon Every version of you (2022) - Grace Chan All fab Up next: Occupy me - Tricia Sullivan Additional #booksky suggestions welcome!

Who better for the BBC to get to talk about journalistic standards than the man responsible for the S*n front page blaming Liverpool fans for the Hillsborough disaster?

Hey kids, we are a small Irish family business. We make lovely things by hand. Could you buy something so we can pay for our Christmas packaging? Thanks a mill. #Boycottamazon #shoplocal slated.ie Reposts would be fabulous. #SLATED

Both. Liverpool haven't been outplayed like that in a long while. It was a bit PSG away like

‘As early as 1971, a Toxteth councillor, Margaret Simey, predicted that the police would provoke a “civil war” in the city. In 1981, her prediction proved accurate.’ Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite on how Liverpool got left behind. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Remember when they use to go after kids for downloading songs off of limewire or posting anime music videos on YT? But AI companies scrapping millions of copyrighted materials? OK 👍

This is in regard to the Getty Images vs Stable Diffusion lawsuit. The UK has decided to throw creatives and copyright protections under the bus for AI scammers once again despite all evidence of theft 😒

Just finished #MargePiercey Woman on the edge of time. What a piece of work. Time travel, sure. But early imaginings of ecosystem collapse, racial weaponisation of poverty, infocracy, virtual reality and brain computer interfaces. How come she wrote here about the risk of nitrites in food, in 1976?

Anyone who has seen Life of Brian will recall the jail scene where a prisoner jokes that he is up for a free pardon, and the jailer goes along with it... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c5...

A friend of my son once coined, in Year 7, the term "detention seeking behaviour". The kid was talking about school, but Joey seems to have been engaged in the adult version, his whole life

He's important in this squad

Anyone who thinks this isn't deliberate doesn't grasp that racism drives southern politics in particular.

So whether it booms or busts, AI is terrible for us all. Cool. Cool. Cool.

Got diverted but now back into Woman on the edge of time and about half way through. Just read a passage about civic norms incl a rule which made me laugh out loud "We have a five-minute limit on speeches. We figure that anything person can't say in five minutes, person is better off not saying."

Great that you came over to support your Countries team, the UK politicians were conspicuous by their absence as were the Royals. It was a great occasion and Womens Rugby was the real winner.

#Womenssport is on fire this year. The #football, #Rugby Union, #Athletics. I also love the men supporting Womens sport instead of running it down like the insecure, triggered trolls. We need more support, more coverage, and more investment to keep this momentum going.

Ima keep this as my women's rugby thread. We just watched the world cup finals with a record crowd at twick and you could really feel the shift for womens rugby.

Isn't it amazing, there's been a deafening silence since the Women's RFU team won the Rugby World Cup, and the England womens football team won the European Championship. But if the mens team so much as score there are shouts for knighthoods all round.

Following England’s Women’s Rugby World Cup win, the government announced a £400 million boost for grassroots sport and the RFU pledged £12.1 million to register 100 000 women and girls by 2027. https://getnews.me/womens-rugby-world-cup-sparks-drive-to-keep-teenage-girls-in-sport/ #womensrugby #rfu

The RFU’s five‑year plan sets the Red Roses to defend the Rugby World Cup in 2029 and aims to raise women’s rugby revenue from £15 million last year to £60 million over the period. Read more: https://getnews.me/rfu-targets-back-to-back-world-cups-to-grow-womens-rugby/ #womenrugby #rfu #worldcup

If my male whanau and friends are anything to go by, womens rugby is now appealing to the masses. It is depressing that those in power are yet again letting our wonderful talent down. www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/rugby/... #womensrugby, #blackferns, #alicesoper

Yeremy should be off for that. Reckless dangerous challenge

Still fourth for me. LFC may put out a team with almost no PL players and get done by Palace, but nobody will learn anything significant from this evening. Only important thing afaiac is not dropping to 10pts off Arsenal at the weekend

Law firms have an established duty to uphold the integrity of the system they work in, not only for their own benefit but for the benefit of society. If more of them had stood up to Trump, they might have curbed his lawlessness.

There is a PL top end level engine + physicality this season and I'm struggling to see more than Dom, Hugo and maybe Virgil working at the level for LFC

Wirtz looks a bit lost doesn't he

Is it me or are the LFC team playing in energy conserve mode? Brentford work rate seems way higher to the eye

Brentford the better side vs LFC but they love just hoofing it into the night sky don't they?

So Brentford's pressing is optimised to get them throw ins. Whereas LFC seem to have stopped pressing altogether. Slot's methods are passing me by rn

Macca has struggled all season. It's looked like fitness but could be personal or the RMA factor. But Curtis + Dom last evening looked excellent. If Grav is out for a few games I'd be trying them + Flo with Macca off the bench.

Curtis Jones may be the answer in a lot of UCL and non PL games to rest Grav. I'm not sure his body can do 90 in the 6 role in PL, but he looked v comfortable vs Bundesliga level last evening for #LFC. A joy to watch last night

Just gone 5-1 with 20' to go. Curtis Jones has been fab tonight for #LFC

LFC commentators don't seem to acknowledge the importance of Alisson. The team takes a while to get used to his absences and everyone takes for granted the saves he makes

didn't expect to get to an hour into this game and only see MNU as potential winners. #LFC need to figure out how to win the right to play their own game, they're being beaten for intensity over the last few games. Hopefully the subs will prove me wrong
