12 people have been arrested as part of an investigation into a suspected extreme right-wing terror plot against an Islamic gathering in Suffolk The UK Ijtima, which hosted 15,000 Muslims for a programme of talks and discussions, was closed and evacuated by police on Sunday

been quite severely told off for this by a kink account on Mastadon 👍

Press X to doubt. Lots of shiny buildings, nobody to run the instruments within.

Well. Turns out that it's hard to find a system that allows fluid and continuous games that isn't shit.

Teacher: “He made an offensive joke about [lead bully]’s mother” Me: “Which was?” Teacher: [checks notes, reads deadpan] “Yo mama so fat she’s got moons and a ring system” Me: A HA HA HA HA HA HARGH YES. Teacher: “But his mother IS overweight” Me: “Well, I’m not going to punish him”

Meeting at school: Head of year: “What is your son going to do to stop himself from being bullied?” Me: “What the what now?”

Regaining multi-format points trophies i.e. The Ashes is an uphill struggle if you can't win (or recently, even compete) in the Test match. Not coincedentally, the last time England won the Women's Ashes, was also the last time the won the Test component of the series.

Always here to quote literally any Burnley reference, including stats as cool as this

Remember to aggressively claim that anyone else ordering a cheese pizza is stealing your work.

My extremely spicy (and expensive and astonishingly unrealistic) belief is that all benefits means testing should be removed. All of it. If you lose your job as a FTSE100 director you should still be able to get jobseeker's allowance if you decide to claim it. Remind people that tax is a 2 way thing

I know that Speculation On This Matter is bad but it appears that Shabna Mahmood has gone completely rogue.

in my defence the stick man looks like he’s having the time of his life there

I too have had a few playthroughs of 'Slay the Princess' (and so should you, it's a lovely treatise on love and death with astonishingly good voice acting)

But there are traditions to uphold, so RIP Sam Neill, famous for his voice acting in the Jurassic World Evolution video game's expansion 'Return to Jurassic Park'.

A horse goes into a café and orders a flat white. The barista brings him the coffee and says, "That'll be £6.50". The horse gets out his wallet and pays. The barista returns later and says, "You know, we don't see many talking horses here." The horse replies, "£6.50 for a flat white, I can see why".

Lots of people saying nice things about Sam Neill and that's good to see. The world is a sadder place without him.

Looks like a cool analysis, but note that it excludes preprints that were never published. So this last sentence in the abstract amounts to ‘conditioning on preprints accepted by the scientific community, preprints are good enough to be accepted by the scientific community’.

There is something really quite nasty about the pincer movement attack on ADHD. The NHS in many places is removing diagnostic pathways and support. There is a concerted attack on private, self funded diagnosis and treatment and now people pretend it's a ticket to easy street on benefits

Something something hair to the throne something

That's cool. Now play the bit where she advises the Indian batter to 'fucking launch it'.

England finish the day on 130-6, with Amy Jones being belligerent in scoring a half century and the only further wicket being Mady Villiers falling victim to a completely instinctive catch at silly mid off.

You know, I'm going to enjoy not having to listen to people who are interested in football once every 2-4 years opining about VAR. I don't particularly enjoy listening to people who watch 60 games a season in person talking about it, but at least they might have a basis for being wrong.

At least England Women #TheCricket have a busy summer schedule to rebuild following all these retirements <checks notes> oh they've got three one-dayers against Ireland. I guess you can't have the women not available to play second fiddle to the men's sides in TheHundred.

England women proving that they can do anything the men's team can do in #TheCricket (humiliating heavy defeats in home tests). 59-5!

You may notice that Alex Hartley and Katherine Sciver-Brunt don't often share the commentary on TMS. Probably since Hartley tearfully accused one of the Sciver-Brunts of bullying her in the field.

I've posted something like this to TMS every time a wicket has fallen. The cowards haven't published one yet.

A shame Lindsey Graham didn't make it up with Stevie Nicks before he died.

Quite a lot of what I consider the England women's cricket team retiring in this game. Heather Knight walks off for the last time for England. It being 36-4 chasing 457 is, well, erm, not giving me a great deal of hope for the near future.

Y'know, I'm beginning to think that this doesn't actually do what it says it will.

:L, New Zealand rugby team popularised and then subsequently ruined the ‘no dickheads’ rule and shows how it’s a sign of nonsense. poor behaviour still tolerated as long as someone makes a show of buying into the organisational culture

Sweating like the American defence facing an incredibly mediocre Belgium side here.

I've been to a Waitrose and an M&S Food today.

Yesterday, as a personal project, I put out a UK poll tracker: pollingpolis.co.uk It has UK Voting Intention, Best PM, Net Approval and Vote by 2024 Vote, Region and Age. A quick tour of how it works 🧵

They score more goals than the opposition. hth.

I think I've heard TMS commentators complaining at length about the team batting their second innings towards lunch saying how they are just wasting time when they could bowl the opposition out at least 10 times in the last few years. The team has only regretted that decision once.

Alex Hartley offering her technical insight on TMS: "Just fucking launch it"

It didn't make the list but Pete Sampras Tennis on the Mega Drive is still playable to this day and is one of the first games that Codemasters did a custom cart for which allowed 4 players. It also had a 'hidden' world tour mode they clearly wanted but couldn't finish before release.

Well done Sophie Ecclestone. 5-fer in the women's test #TheCricket . The first English woman's name on the honours board after India's Goud (bowling) and Bhatia (batting)

Richard Gould, CEO of the ECB and Rob Key's boss, will be on TMS over tea for the women's test #TheCricket to explain how the ECB couldn't possibly have failed, they were failed by McCullum. You will need to listen to him. I find my reaction to hearing Gould speak tends to be... intense.

McCullum gone ...as coach of the England Test #TheCricket side. Will remain as coach of the white ball teams.

I’m not even going to go near the Ann Widdecombe conspiracy theories, but I presume the “auditors”, “citizen journalists” and people who are “just asking questions” for clicks are all over it.

The Lindsey Graham conspiracy theories have started 🧐

you wanna see the exact moment his knee blows out in slow motion?
