The camera work for this Champions League final is bizarre. Guessing they are quite limited with what’s in the stadium. Feel like we’re getting one panning shot 🤷🏼‍♀️

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

It’s been a sad year. We lost Bella at 17, and my beautiful girl Kiki is nearing the end. So this wee guy has brought some much needed chaos and fun back into our home

Delighted that the England women’s team both won a euros before the men, and then retained the title on penalties. Women getting it done, even if they are English 😉👊🏻

And, again, as the article acknowledges, these very tax incentives were instrumental in the creation of SIXTY THOUSAND film and tv jobs in 2019

Claire McArdle @cmcardle.bsky.social · 20/04/2025
This headline is hugely misleading. Expected better of @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap... As the article itself acknowledges, every £1 of tax incentive in high end film and television has a GVA to the UK economy of £8.30.

Took a day off. Visited a Saxon church, looked at witch marks in a 14th Century tithe barn, bought a painting of a crow. Came home and New Model Army @newmodelarmy are live on 6Music playing Green and Grey. WHAT A DAY!

Despite what you are being fed, de-extinction is a con, full of gloss, bullshit and ghoulish greed.

Public service announcement. They are not Dire Wolves. They have 20 single letter changes in their entire genomes. I’ve done shits with more mutations. Every time journalists write up a Colossus press release, They are making people stupider. Client journalism by a ridiculous company.

This is absolutely hilarious. Russell Brand shares fake redacted file claiming that Penelope Keith shot JFK. Clearly didn't read it. Mind you, it's no madder than some of the other theories.

Once you establish that people can be punished because the administration doesn't like their speech, expanding the bounds of who can be treated that way becomes inevitable.

I’m getting angrier and angrier every time I think about the comments that McGeady and Boyd made about Jota when he was overcome with emotion after scoring on his return. Is the men’s mental health push on Sky Sports just lip service? Be better. It actually matters.
