Aaronson about as effective there as the Maginot Line #lufc

Long day, just catching up with the news on the way home. Burnham, for crying out loud. Is that the best you can do? Puts the Truss in untrustworthy.

Also blimey. Fever dream. #lufc

Blimey. Surprised by joy. #lufc

Pity - team did well (including Aaronson and Darlow, btw) but lack of offensive effectiveness (Fulham saved by the "signature signing" we didn't make, as well as good luck) and home side protected by officials on 50:50s. Pah. #lufc

Telegraph turns on David Frost ...

Dream IP combination of Star Trek, DC comics and the Road movies starring Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour

I can see why McEwan insists he's not writing SCIENCE fiction

#LUFC #LEEDS

Lot of discussion here about what #lufc transfer priorities should be now. Mine would be to completely replace the recruitment team. All this stuff about "we know how to manage sports teams, I eat negotiations for breakfast" doesn't play if you can't hold your own people (or yourself) responsible.

no mention for Mr and Mrs Alioski 🤔 #lufc

sad to see Paddy leave, think he was a great servant and representative of the club. Also , probably the greatest scorer of wrongly chalked off goals we've had. God speed. #llufc

Rodrygo Muniz remains joint Man U top scorer (playoff penalties excepted) #lufc

Sigh. DCL will get there eventually. Harrison I thought did OK (apart from set pieces). Gnonto/Bogle good. Feel like Leeds have been too slow moving enough players out to make room for improvements. For me, Gruev, Aaronson, Piroe won't work at this level. In what world is Aaronson > Ramazani? #lufc

Aaronson still hasn't found his level #lufc

Backed in a heartbeat

And that concludes our evening of everton fans tv presented by Andy Hincliffe #lufc

If that's this season's Chelsea squad he's got some of the names wrong

Giant A Stach #lufc

"The third choice shirt was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.” #lufc

Feel that maybe @greatdismal.bsky.social missed a trick here but maybe we're living in a more Vonnegut world these days

Have to say that potential signings of Paixao, Munoz, Hamer, Buendia and (OK even more of a stretch, but we can dream) Luiz is a teensy bit more exciting than the signings we've seen so far #lufc

Interesting how the Telegraph refers to this as a cover up by "the Government" when both the leak and the subsequent super-injunction occurred under Sunak. Normally they'd have said either "Labour" or "the Labour Government" ...

Synchronicity in my timeline

Was at this yesterday ... Van Morrison and Neil Young were great - really great - but Cat Stevens is a national treasure and should be made king, let alone get a knighthood www.the-independent.com/arts-enterta...

Good morning from the recently nationalised SWR. The normally 12 carriage fast train Portsmouth-London has 4 carriages. The guard is in the spare driver cabin as there is no room for her in the train. I'm in favour of nationalisation but it would be nice to see some actual improvement

if this is analogous to where we've finally got to with AI, you'd have a perfectly polite conversation with the toaster, it would then burn the toast, blow up the refrigerator and conspire with your dishwasher to bring down civilisation and fry the planet

If you see this, quote this post with your favorite Main Protagonist in a video game that’s NOT Mario nor Sonic. #gamesky #promosky #gaming

Great thread

Telegraph: "Red Arrows perform world’s first eco-friendly fly past at Trooping the Colour". World's first? I think not.

not sure if this is the darkest timeline but it's definitely the most stupid one

Already have Shroud by @aptshadow.bsky.social (via @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social) - highly recommended

Amidst all the hype, can anyone explain why #Google #Android (now via #Gemini) has gotten so consistently worse at basic hands-free speech recognition over the last few years? Just tried to ring someone from the car - from a Pixel 9 Pro - as usual it failed, badly ... 1/2

Yesterday, I published a report about the change in ownership of three of the SF's legacy publications: Analog, Asimov's, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. After I published it, I got answers to my questions from two of the new owners about what plans they have for the magazines:

If you're into #scifi in its various forms and not currently following @andrewliptak.com and/or subbed to his Transfer Orbit newsletter/blog, you're missing out. Here's the latest one, on the rapid changes of ownership for the various pro SF magazines.

This was actually contributed by a London-based journalist so it being the NYT isn't an excuse. Otherwise, don't know where to start with this

Obviously slightly over-ordered on #warhammer #aos chaos as the latest delivery had this written on the back of the invoice (loaded dice, not on blue sky but recommended - loadeddice.co.uk)

Just finished Lords of the Desert by @jamesbarr.bsky.social - if you want one book about the chaotic decolonisation of the mid east, or one that explains how it got to current shape, read this one. As someone born in what was then Aden Colony in the dying days of the Empire, esp interesting for me.

for those who haven't tried it, go into Google and search on Leeds United (life's simple pleasures, eh?). #lufc

100 points 🎉 But if the 5 goals wrongly disallowed this season had been given, we'd also be on 100 goals (2nd highest in the Championship era) and Piroe would be on 21, 3 rather than 1 ahead of supposed centre forward of the year Josh Sargent. Not counting all the unawarded penalties. Bye EFL #lufc

🏆 CHAMPIONS AGAIN OLÉ OLÉ!!!

Bloody hell. Need a drink #lufc

These are actually the members of the British version of the Avengers

Having Oxbridge educated Clare Balding enthuse at length about the Oxbridge boat race amidst of a recession where our Oxbridge educated government attempt to recover from the catastrophe created by their Oxbridge educated predecessors is an irony apparently lost on Oxbridge educated BBC leadership

For crying out loud Farke sort out some subs who can hold up the ball #lufc

Problem #1 here is Farke, who can only manage with a cheat code, and even then isn't great. Problem #2 is the board who once again failed to reinforce in the window. Can't wait to see the back of Kinnear as well #lufc

I was out (at the theatre) this afternoon and didn't (thankfully) see the game. Just watched the highlights: IMHO, given how well Leeds have done with 10 outfield players and no goalkeeper, we should try playing with 11 outfield players for the rest of the season and at least get the benefit #lufc
