A really great piece by @adjacobson.bsky.social on the history of the far-right in Queens

I'm bummed. These are very underwhelming. Hoping our third kits make up for it.

My favorite home one in a while! Excited to see what the away and third kits look like now.

As a Bees supporter, I'm delighted to get Hollywood Bets of the kit. I think the new ones look great too!

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) board of directors voted on Wednesday to affirm the organization’s existing definition of who is a journalist and rejected claims it planned to change its definition to exclude particular groups. Read more: cpj.org/2026/07/boar...

Hungarian police said they will not prevent anyone from taking part in next month’s Budapest Pride parade, signaling a shift in LGBTQ+ policy in the country since PM Péter Magyar took office earlier this month.

I wrote about being inundated with AI writing at every turn, unwittingly turning my brain into the AI police, and how shitty AI writing is randomly showing up in my real life outside of the internet www.404media.co/your-ai-use-...

AI writing is impossible to avoid, is making everything sound the same, and is driving us crazy.

Wissa torched his future by leaving the Bees the way he did. He could have stayed, started regularly on a better club and upped his value.

Very important question: Any chance for a venue change for the New York City live show? I listened to the Monday podcast a single day late and to my surprise it's already sold out! Dare I suggest the Football Weekly crew look at Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall or even Madison Square Garden?

Definitely an odd choice to have Ajer on the bench. Hoping we get the good version of Collins today considering how big this match is.

Wow
Today it was snowballs. Tomorrow, someone could paint a black circle on the side of a mountain, causing our officers to drive the train into the mountain, turning the train into an accordian that plays a sad little tune indicating that the officer has been seriously injured

Really vile stuff from a truly vile politician. The post initially claimed they "blankets" came directly from Mamdani and only then edited it to claim they are from an unnamed nonprofit organization.

Weirdly seems to have nailed the Brentford prediction, however, despite most folks having them closer to the relegation zone.
