At times it has even seemed a productive thought exercise, but I think generally whatever body has demanded the justification is not really open to being persuaded of anything. 15973137

But we took the 18-month-old there on Sunday, & she absolutely loved it. She regales us with tales of 'CLICKY BALL!' & likes to admire her Sunrisers flag. I am conflicted. 130

David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Really enjoyed this process @criterion.bsky.social . Posting with the caveat that I would probably end up making entirely different choices tomorrow. 000
David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I just did that Criterion Closet thing on their website where you make your own choices, & was surprised to find myself putting Before Sunset in my selection, standing in for all three. They are wonderful. Also surprised how sad I was when Linklater said he wouldn't be making any more. 021
David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I'm ashamed for all of us. Example after example of how transphobia requires the suspension of all reason and thinking.

David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 28/07/2026A highlight of #BAVS2026 was the panel by @victorianhand.bsky.social, a mind bogglingly rich project, which reminded me of these ambiguous (long?) 19th Century hands by the unpleasant Charles Dana Gibson. 152

David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Thank goodness someone else saw the same game I did. Watching in horror as the media confects a narrative to get rid of a genuinely talented cup manager that somehow agreed to manage us. 120
David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 16/07/2026He'll have assumed James and Spence would be up to the job. Didn't need another winger, they already had two perfectly good full backs. It didn't work, but it was a perfectly sensible plan. 200
David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I realise that the narrative that Tuchel decided to 'park the bus' after the goal has set in now, but it's just not true. Konsa was brought on to free up the wingers to attack alongside a back three. Kane even said that the messaging from the bench was to go for the 2nd goal. #WorldCup26 #England 010

David Ibitson @arry-k-arry.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Nothing worse than public commentators who dont understand sport. The point is to hope, to load your emotions, with a community, onto a team, trust them with it, & imagine what might be. Pundit brains treating sport like realpolitik. I hate it. It's not hubris to enjoy yourself. #WorldCup26 010
