Sublime conework right there

Your lived experience of... being basically fine? Now imagine you have trans/queer/ethnic minority friends and/or just a basic shred of human empathy and try being furious on their behalf instead.

If I were playing for England in this match then I would give some serious consideration to being better at football.

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

Took a few pictures at the Southern Athletics League in Finsbury Park yesterday.

I'd like to see retrospective bookings/bans for that kind of nonsense by Mac Allister. Rolling around on the floor for over a minute because of... checks replays... literally nothing. Should be a booking at least. #avlliv

It's time for Goldblum

Buckle in lads, he's going to do nothing *even harder*

For all that this is true, it doesn't count for a lot under FPTP in the new multi-party era when it comes to actually winning elections. Especially since that 27% is very unevenly distributed. Reform are still absolutely nowhere in cities, where the Greens are on the charge.

Surprising, but not unwelcome, news. Beth Mead will be a loss, but also probably past her best and hopefully replaceable.

If you’d said to me 12 months ago that Labour would lose in Hackney, I’d have told you that you were absolutely out of your mind. And yet here we are.

Evergreen headline.

Is Keir Starmer able clarify exactly what level of extra-judicial violence it is ok to question? I obviously do not wish to cause any kind of disgrace.

18,000 in tonight, against the bottom of the table, on a Wednesday night, while the men's team were playing a Champions' League semi at the same time is an outrageous testament to what Arsenal Women have done to build their own genuine fanbase, and I am proud to be a part of it. #awfc #arsenal

As an ancient Roman I’m actually kind of 50-50 on the spelling.

Haringey Borough winners of the Spartan South Midlands League thanks to a point away at Cockfosters tonight.

Post your favourite film from the year you turned 18….

“Not common knowledge” is doing a huge amount of heavy lifting here. There is almost nothing in this thread I already knew about, and I know _loads_ of things.

Speaking as someone who lives ~200 metres from the main stage at Wireless… oh no, this is exactly what I didn’t want to happen.

I don’t know if you know this about Venice, but it actually has almost as many canals as Birmingham.

Anyone have any recommendations for things/places I should do/see/go in Venezia?

Please at least say it was a self-service buffet, because I’ve had some pretty mad plates myself at a hotel breakfast, but this is truly deranged. WHY ARE THERE STRAWBERRIES?!!

In the world as it is I find increasing pleasure in people on my timeline just enjoying their stuff - even (especially?) when it's of no particular interest to me. Recent topics in my feed include pottery and birdwatching. Neither of which I am into myself, but I'm into you being into it.

My local councillor recently crossed the floor from Labour to Green, and I am looking forward to my vote following them.

Average of all the polls. We just hit crossover day! Great moment to join as we take on Reform next. Join.greenparty.org.uk

"(no relation)" is perfect

Chelsea can pipe down about nonsense VAR decisions now.

Maybe God is mad at us because we had the hubris to claim we could build bears.

I have got myself a spot on a wildlife photography expedition later this year to shoot polar bears in the pack ice north of Svalbard, and I am HYPED!! Mid-life Crisis Era intensifies.

Arsenal were poor defensively for large parts of the game tonight - and _incredibly_ lucky to get away with the first disallowed goal - but 3 very well taken goals means they were probably deserved winners, and with Leah and/or Steph to come back for the second leg you have to be optimistic.

I'm mostly of the opinion that Laia Codina is a bit rubbish, but by meekly falling over instead of challenging for the ball she's done an absolute solid there.

Was out photographing for @canarytrails.bsky.social at the Surrey Hills Marathon yesterday. Lovely conditions for a top event.

There’s an office in London that contains something critical to the security of the global internet — a bunch of swinging pendulums. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/ins...

Just back from a week in Norway learning how to manage expeditions in the polar regions. I took a few photos along the way too.

OK, I have to admit this is quite funny.

Twerkers at the barbeque get priority parking 🫡

I'm not much of an Arsenal (men) fan, but if I were to be an Arsenal (men) fan then this would be *extremely* funny. #TheFootball

Mittens went to the vet on Monday evening and has been in a cone since then. The cone means she can’t go outside, but there has been no litter tray action at all. I went out for little while this evening and have never been so thrilled to return home to a turd in the litter tray.

I find it deeply strange how the TV coverage of the two-man bobsleigh only ever refers to the pilot as if they’re an individual competitor and we never even get to learn the name of the other guy.

So good to see Leah Williamson back in the starting XI. I’m a big fan of Catley and LWM, but Leah is just different gravy. #awfc #arsenal

My favourite thing* about this Olympic ice dance competition is the continued insistence on "twizzle" as a technical term. [*aside from all of the other things]

The drone cameras have been the MVP of this Winter Olympics. They were stunning on the Downhill this morning and absolutely mind blowing now in the Big Air.

Massive result for Arsenal today, and well deserved. The title race is still over but this could be huge for the Champions League qualifying spots. Looking at the fixtures remaining you have be optimistic. #awfc

Happy abseiling lesbians day to all who celebrate!!!

Some subtle shade in today’s Times crossword. “Trouble from ChatGPT, say, source of lies (3)”

No dice. Honestly a little relieved.

If for reasons I needed to go for a long weekend away from London, where should I go and why? Only requirement is it needs to be less than ~4 hours travel time door to door.

Arsenal Women "Dominate a game and not somehow lose 1-0" challenge. Level: impossible. #awfc
