Apparently a game-worn Michael Jordan jersey just sold for $14 million. Nothing against Michael Jordan, or Da Bulls, but...can we talk about what's wrong with a society where enough rich people can cheerfully drive the price on a basketball jersey to 8 figures while children go sick and hungry?

Ukraine has hit a huge Russian data centre linked to bot farms. In unrelated news, does anyone know why every Reform account on Twitter is getting hardly any likes and shares?

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

American Exceptionalism again talking ‘Trash’. It’s a ‘Bin’, and in British civilisation always has been a ‘Bin’, since 1150 AD according to the OED. Webster’s bastardisation of English turned up in the 1st half of the 19th Century! I always thought ‘Wired’ stood out from the common herd, but FFS!

if it’s anything like when we tried this, you can maybe expect more road fatalities. Esp kids going to school. … Or maybe not, as your kids seem to need armoured buses and school bags rather than just walk … 🙄

Just noticed the great big ‘DSR’ on the carriage door, so that should narrow it down - unless Griffons has hijacked it to take his Teddy Bear back to Paddington 😉 There is a loco known as a ‘Teddy Bear’ but that’s a whole different round Robin
