Mostly a picture of stability this morning on #ALevelResultsDay. A/A* grades continue to creep up again as they have since 2022. Main story, as it increasingly is on results days, is London pulling further ahead of other regions.

Great to see the Guardian champion the SHAPE (Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences) subjects, but this piece gives impression that they are expensive, whereas many are 'cheap to teach' subjects subsidising more expensive subjects, mainly in STEM and medicine. The crisis demands better understanding.

Every lifelong football fan I've ever met is like "I think players are supposed to serve their suspension" and every adult convert is like "the Archon of Constantinople's epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the eucharist clearly states handballs are mandatory."

It is hard to express how good a job Gordon/Spence and Konsa/Rogers (and Konsa/Bellingham) did to defend every wide 2v2 there. Every single cross was so deep, heavily contested, and always an extra pass or two to work the space to get it off at all.

I can't believe I have to say this but the point is not "corrupt World Cups are not new". It's that this specific World Cup has been a succession of "f**k yous" to various parts of the global football community, and this is the latest one. And I doubt it will be the last.

Since 2011, Elon Musk has been promising to put a man on Mars within a few years. He failed. SpaceX burned through billions of dollars of venture capital. It still isn't profitable and Mars is now further away than it was in 2011. If you're buying the $SPCX IPO, you're the exit liquidity.

When I was 13, I spent a long coach journey reading a EURO 2004 preview magazine and naively came away convinced Greece could win the whole thing given how solid their defence was. It's the only time I've ever been right about something. Given that, here are my boldest World Cup 2026 predictions:

I am extremely confused as to why the UK government and police are saying Grok’s mass-scale CSAM generation is an issue for Ofcom. This isn’t about X failing to moderate CSAM, which is an Online Safety Act issue. It is about the company and its technology being actively involved in its generation.

You do your own doodle and everything you put there is an active choice. AI generates it for you and it's adding a load of extra detail that wasn't in your own head. That's not your idea anymore, it's stolen from somewhere else.
