Yorkshire, indeed the world, has lost some of its colour today. Garrowby Hill, a Yorkshire landscape by David Hockney, 1998. So long, David.

All AI has done for me thus far is change my slightly misspelled words into something completely unrecognisable

Hard to think of a more cursed paragraph..

Ruud Gullit "The World Cup belongs to the world, not to governments, political interests, or football administrators. It belongs to the players, the referees, and the supporters. If FIFA cannot guarantee that all three are treated fairly and equally, then it has failed in its most fundamental duty.

Dear Bluesky, I’d rather have Ebola than watch Dave Hughes comedy, so I definitely don’t need to hear his opinion on politics

Welcome to FIFA World Cup Iraq's World Cup striker, Aymen Hussein, was held and questioned for nearly seven ​hours at Chicago's O'Hare airport after arriving with the squad ‌early on Saturday, an Iraqi sporting official said.

"There were 40 people at our gig at the Free Trade Hall And I've met 350 of them.." Glen Matlock

Just noting that when Sarah Everard was kidnapped and murdered by a police officer and a vigil held for her on Clapham Common, Farage urged people not to attack men or the police.

Nigel Farage. What a cunt. That’s the post. Good morning.

‘One night I was bored in bed and stalked you on the internet…’

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Unfolding climate catastrophe aside, I do like watching Britain come to life when the sun shines after 9 million rainy days over winter

Wondering how many of the reports on the heat wave will reference this week’s Climate Change Committee explaining how badly prepared the UK is for the escalating climate impacts it is already facing.

Sixty years ago last week, The Beatles recorded what is, in my opinion, the greatest song that Paul McCartney ever wrote. A two minute meditation on the end of love with a baroque melody and simple, beautiful, perfectly observed lyrics. youtu.be/hgJ7dmr_ysU?...

Never great when you’re watching a League One play off and you realise four or five of the players would walk into Stokes team 😳

It’s Schrödinger’s cup final. I both want to watch it and don’t want to watch it until I open the box and find out whether Arsenal have got leathered or not.

Looks like a decent squad on paper but I have to concur with the Lambrini Girls, it’s never ‘coming home’

I once disparaged Gumtree users on here but I’ve recently experienced Facebook Marketplace and holy fucking shit… 😳

Handy guide for reporters … A claim is made about the impact of tax policy. Test: is it true (you find out). If yes: you have a story. If no: it isn’t a story. Reporting government denial of something that isn’t real … that’s also not a story.

Post a book quote that you love.

I'm not sure what the weirdest social thing about Covid was - the inability of a large part of society to deal with major uncertainty without losing their shit, or another large part of society that fell in love with the authoritarianism required to manage it, and want to regularly bring it back

Takes a special kind of person to get triggered by images of Mo Farah, Jess Ennis, Jude Bellingham & George Michael amongst other national heroes. Absolute state of these thick ***ts

The first person to destroy an entire data centre will be hailed as a hero

Never had them as the ‘broad church’ types 🤣

'The dark secret of so much of Britain is that it wants change in theory but hates it in practice...

No country squeals louder than Australia when snouts are removed from the trough

Mamdani has demonstrated something that Democrats have largely forgotten. You can't just do good things for voters and expect to be rewarded for it. You have to tell them about it, over and over again. You have to advertise your work in office just as much as you did on the campaign to win it.

The AEC needs to drop the hammer on both the party ultimately responsible, and the dipshit that signed their authorisation name to it. Protecting your democracy is like everything else important - if you don't hang the perpetrators in the town square, everyone thinks the costs are worth the effort

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

A please @labouruk.bsky.social, stop saying that it's up to us to stop Reform. YOU could stop a Reform government in 2029, by introducing the proportional representation so many in the country have been clamouring for. The only way Farage can win is through our crazy first-past-the-post system.

So my daughter and I were forced by the UK Govt to apply for a UK passport in order to visit the country I was born in and now after weeks of delays they appear to have lost one of our birth certificate's & are referring to my daughter as Ms Baker 🤦‍♂️

Arsenal winning a major semi-final because of terrible refereeing you say... #tellusaboutit

Childish point-scoring gimmickry. This is the state of politics today.

Just worked out, at Stokes current rate of 'improvement', we'll be enjoying automatic promotion in 2041 🥴

That’s three different Stoke keepers who’ve conceded comedy goals this season. Guinness Book of Records stuff.

I was today years old when i found out Michael Jacksons pet chimp, Bubbles is still alive (follow me for more crucial content)

Feeling sad about the death of a dog I never met but I was nonetheless very fond of #ripTed

Colleague at first job brought in cake every time Stoke won. Didn't have much interest in football but started looking up results to see if I'd get cake. Her Pavlov training worked: 20 years later - no longer in touch with her, but this London boy is a Stoke season ticket holder.

Can confirm.
