I’ve always had huge respect for the RNLI, especially since living in a town with a lifeboat crewed by many of my neighbours. It makes me so angry to see the fascist scum on the south coast giving RNLI volunteers shit. Supports the heroes. Fuck the fascists. Donate: shop.rnli.org/products/don...

Donation to RNLI
It costs us around £483,000 a day to run our lifesaving service. Your kind donation will help deliver our lifesaving work.

I often complained about how pro sports ownership was defined by the drama of random families turned royalty because grandpa bought a team 50 years ago, but I will miss it when every team is owned by one of the world's 250 wealthiest people for the sole purpose of selling it to one of the other 249

Annual reminder that the Community Shield used to be called the Charity Shield, but so little money actually went to charity that the government told them to either start making serious contributions or change the name. So they changed the name.

The nature of the consortium looking to buy a stake in Liverpool from FSG is why English football needs a) stronger regulation b) obliging greater transparency and engagement c) enforced rules around spending In order to protect the long term future of the game and clubs.

bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.
A graph showing how the edsel and Cybertruck both performed based on their sales target and actual year one and year two sales. The edsel was expected to sell 200k units in its first year. It sold slightly over 50k, and less than 50k the next year

The Cybertruck had a sales.target of 250k in its first year. They sold around 40k, the next year they sold about half as many.

🟥 The Beginning of the End for FSG? There's a temptation to see the reported sale of a minority stake in Liverpool as little more than another financial transaction. I think it deserves a broader lens.
