Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Wise words from none other than Ed Sheeran (or whatever publicist wrote this): 100
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 15/09/2026And of course the mention of This Life, probably my all time favourite British TV series. 010
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Young people need to be told they're wrong. Well done, Wetherspoons. 120
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Normally, I love the hot weather (although this is ridiculous), but I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to Sunday: 010
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Assuming I can count, if Sheff Wed lose their next game...away to Sheff Utd, they'll be relegated with 13 games still to play. Must be some sort of record. Although they have been deduced 18 pts so probably pointless to compare with others. 110
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 13/02/2026This quote couldn't be more true and I know this is how so many British Jews feel right now: 100
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 08/02/2026You can't be a fan of VAR and then say it kills joy. That's exactly what it's been doing since day 1. So fed up with pundits who keep wanking on about how "VAR is here to stay. It just needs to be better." It never ever will. It remains the worst rule change in footballing history. 000
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 03/12/2025Check out this outrageous comment from 2008. It's all 'lived experience', feelings over facts, evidence free, postmodernist claptrap: 110
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 03/12/2025The overdiagnosis of mental health conditions (usually s'thing to do with neurodiversity) follows exactly the same playbook as gender id. People in charge too cowardly to say no to the kids, or worse, affirming a problem that doesn't exist. A system gamed by the entitled middle class. 130
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 25/11/2025Terrific piece from the fearless @suzannemoore.bsky.social about the latest iteration of state sponsored child abuse. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/c79daa5... 161
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Typically excellent from Janan Ganesh. Forget the politics, the opening paragraph is my favourite bit: www.ft.com/content/68ee... 110
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Most of these suggestions are barking: "More points for scoring more than 2 goals!!" "Penalising 0-0 draws!" The only one worth listening to is Stephen Warnock's: 300
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 17/09/2025And this point is so so true, particularly when it comes to Starmer. His judgement is often appalling. 000
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 11/08/2025Great news. But would love to know what this was: 000
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Starts off about plagiarism but it's mostly about the bombardment of online shit and what it's doing to us. And it's only going to get worse with AI. I'm already sick to death of hearing about bloody AI. 110
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 19/07/2025BBC News - US tech CEO suspended after Coldplay concert embrace goes viral www.bbc.com/news/article... God, they're so po-faced. US companies have such puritanical attitudes to employee relationships. 010
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 01/07/2025These people are sick. And dangerous. No amount of evidence will ever be enough. How can it be for a movement, an ideology, built on postmodernist 'just be kind' claptrap? 110
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Key point in this terrific (as per) piece from @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social: 100
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 24/06/2025Continuing with his favourite topic, another fine piece by @j-amesmarriott.bsky.social on the necessity of reading: 1104
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Very good and measured piece. And the increasing use of that idiotic academic term 'global majority' needs to be nipped in the bud sharpish. 010
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Britain 2025: nothing works and it's expensive. 100
Ben Mitchell @bmitchellwrites.bsky.social · 28/05/2025Terrific piece. I suspect AI is also attractive for those who've become hooked on their social media echo chambers. Not looking for debate but affirmation. The people who need constant reassurance and the endorphin rush of likes and RTs. 100
