I'm watching way too much youtube on the England squad. The focus on fringe players is extraordinary. Because the starting 11 is kind of universally accepted.

Tuchel has picked the right players, but not necessarily in the right order.

Again I go somewhere and it's shut down. Bloody landlords killing everything in London

There will be a reckoning!

I have not yet seen a pic of Paddington leading Cronus off to the underworld and honestly, team, I'm disappointed in you all.

Tuchel picks the players who have played well at international matches. England fans are naturally outraged. Standard start for a World Cup

Huh Amazon no longer supports my Paperwhite Kindle.

Maguire, Foden and Palmer all out. And Toney in. Frankly sounds pretty good.

Genuinely sad to say, but Marathon queue times suggest the game is already functionally dead.

Whoever is in charge, Labour needs a new immigration strategy. Me in @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pol...

Imagine being stressed out about life and the state of the world and then you walk outside to clear your head and see this

"It's Buendia with a beauty on the banks of the Bosphorus" is the nearest a football commentator gets to live poetry

A lot of the problems with ChatGPT would be solved if they could only respond in Latin.

I like the way Jack Ryan: Ghost War aggressively makes no sense.

strangely, there is a good argument for the government to prevent the supermarkets from using food as loss leaders, but that would make food prices go up

Late England call up speculation news: Palmer played well tonight, Foden really didn't.

Hmm, not sure I'm going to offer Channel 4 my new show "Cannibal Kitchen"

All set for West Ham to lose to Leeds

CHAMPIONS

@mrjamesob.bsky.social it's "the mighty river Brent"

Bad day for Muskolini

Interesting that one @channel4news.bsky.social news segment answers another one. Question: What will the new empty spaces on our high street contain? Answer: Vape shops and mini marts staffed by slave labour

Obviously that Sadiq Khan / London video has good production values and was made before Golders Green otherwise they would have shoehorned in some Jewish life in. Its also an interesting reflection of what Khan thinks his future is.

Let it be clear: you are wanted here.

I still think they should just let Palestine into Eurovision. (They can't, of course, they don't have a broadcasting company) Anyway, UK have one point so my 5 minutes of high gay is done.

Omg. This is amazing.

Really, there is more that unites us than divides us 🥹🤲

After extensive thinking, here is my response to post editing on BlueSky: 1) You have as long as you like to edit a post, until you push the Post button.

Reform UK Councillors Gone Since Local Elections Lost Seat:5 Resigned: 7 Defected: 4 Suspended: 4 Andrew Harrison & Kenny Hope just resigned from Durham Council over leadership (Andrew Husband and Darren Grimes).

Editing posts is woke

This is great, but really Palantir are just the meat in the inedible sandwich. The government has the same choice as literally every other company on Earth: CapEx vs OpEx

So Derelict Star is a momentum platformer - I didn't quite realize how important that bit was

@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com in case you weren't aware, you feature in @owenjones.bsky.social latest video. All fair.

I simply work between ministerial resignations

HMRC clearly have a preferred candidate

Timing is everything!

Observer with a retro sci-fi story

Fun fact: the magical child safety solution which Jess Philips cited in her resignation letter is a vendor-specific offering, which benefited from an intense PR and lobbying campaign, and was previously praised by ... Prince Andrew. I always keep the receipts. heatherburns.tech/2026/02/20/t...

Who knew that being bad at your job would cause this much trouble?

"I am in full support of the Prime Minister. The process for challenging a leader has not been triggered so we are just getting on with our job." "Yes dear. But did you want oat milk with that latte?"

hello from the dawn of the unix epoch

Derelict Star is good old platform entertainment. Rather nice. #indiedev

The simplicity of this method to get Andy in is unassailable

But we could have British Steel

That post about Andy Burnham not being able to get to Westminster in time because Avanti West are so bad now looks like gold.
