An absolutely delightful @secondmentions.com in this Athletic article by @conor-oneill.bsky.social: a player specialising in long throw-ins is a "touchline trebuchet". www.nytimes.com/athletic/760...

Can you IMAGINE being in your teens and into nu-metal and hip-hop, and then this mega-fucker of a song drops?! Limp Bizkit, DMX, Method Man, and Redman? Mindblowing. open.spotify.com/track/3nsxMr...

OK, it took another nine months, but this guy is now the MD for International Affairs at Anthropic. The revolving doors from government to business keep on turning...

As the parent of a tweenage (rugby-playing) girl, I try really hard to make sure she sees female representation in a multitude of sports, from football to BTCC, and everything in-between like Hundred cricket

Are we allowed to nominate covers of a band’s own songs for best cover versions? Because Metallica’s S&M version of Ktulu is such a step up from the original. open.spotify.com/track/7vxLun...

Got round to that "End of Reading" article, and it is so depressing. The inability/unwillingness to read, and the consequent lack of literacy, is basically forcing the population into Newspeak without an all-powerful government forcing it onto them. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

The End of Reading Is Here
Optimists once believed that universal literacy was inevitable. Now it seems that the age of reading might be a short anomaly in human history.

The last 70 or so pages of this are absolutely brutal, both in terms of the events and the honesty required to describe and admit to them. It’s a beautiful, fascinating read overall though.
The book “Childhood, Youth, Dependency” by Tove Ditlevsen. The cover has a quote from Patti Smith: “A beautifully written, resilient and relatable chronicle for the marginalised.”

Finally hit proper middle-age: I have an Ottolenghi cookbook and actually made something from it. This was a leek, spinach, and feta braised egg thing from earlier today.

Ghana v Panama later tonight will be the first (and only?) game of the tournament with just one vowel used in the countries' names. This hasn't happened since Ghana played Italy in 2006. #alphabet

What I've found amusing so far is the lengths the betting companies will go to to avoid saying "World Cup" in their adverts. There are constant references to "this summer's tournament" or similar. Borderline @secondmentions.com territory...

It was so early in the season, but I think Gabriel's 95th minute winner at St James's Park was the moment that I fully believed we'd win the league. www.arsenal.com/video?entryi...

My final Top 10 for this year’s #Eurovision. I am very much torn between what I regard as pieces of genuine art, and then just fucking bangers. #Croatia was utterly beautiful

I think I did about 20,000 steps in my living room during that second half, just pacing up and down. Football really puts you through the entire range of emotions across 90+ minutes. And we get to do it all again next Monday night. Come on you Gunners!

I'm nearly twice his age, but Paddy Young has got me wondering whether I can pull off the "moustache + stubble beard" look. I obviously have zero hope of being anywhere near as funny as him, nor gaining as much k-pop knowledge
