An undeniable all-time great; one of the key driving forces behind one of the most exciting and rewarding periods of music I've lived through. This one fucking stings. Soulquarians forever. RIP. youtu.be/mVsQwJfWzoI

Not saying this Bournemouth - Fulham game has been bad, but so far the three most exciting players have been 'the wind', 'a balloon', and 'whoever tricked Fulham into having a Berocca Piss Green kit'

Just saw Jared Leto talking to Zlatan Ibrahimovich and I'm amazed my TV was able to handle displaying such a massive concentration of God complex in a single frame

I don't know what sport the referees in the VAR booths think they're officiating this weekend, but it definitely isn't fucking football. That is a scandalous decision.

It's Ryder Cup weekend, that beautiful time of the year where all of humanity unites in a shared hatred of the most universally despised thing in the world: Americans who shout 'get in the hole' at every shot

Turns out you can just use halloumi as a pie topping. The government can't stop you. 🍜 🍽️
A dish that looks like a shepherd's pie, but it has grilled halloumi instead of potato on the top. There's pomegranate scattered across the top too.

Just caught up on qualifying. Very funny would watch again 10/10 go weeyums #f1 (in all seriousness, think that's genuinely the most fun I've ever had watching a qualy session. Those minutes when it seriously looked like a Sainz/Lawson front row were beautiful. Really glad I avoided spoilers.)

An XKCD comic where one tiny sliver of load-bearing rock is holding up a much larger structure which would collapse without it. The structure is named 'All Liverpool games 25/26' and the load-bearing sliver is named '90th minute goals'.

Seen some debate about whether Mgła is pronounced 'mig-wah', 'meg-wah', or 'mug-wah'. Happy to clarify: they're signed to Northern Heritage, so it's actually pronounced Make Gmerica Łate Again. Thank you.

You could take somebody that's never watched any sporting event before, have them read the Wikipedia page for 'football' half an hour before going on live TV, and they'd be exactly as good at punditry as Martin Keown.

It's 2025. Is Shaggy really still famous enough for the TV director at the US Open final to be repeatedly picking him out of the crowd and showing him more than any other famous person there? Feels a bit weird, imo

Oscar Piastri is so funny. Says something more calmly than anything I've ever said in my life, then five minutes later gets back on the radio and says 'now that I've calmed down a bit....' #f1

Catching up on the #F2 feature race. Halfway through and I cannot believe what I'm watching. Full-on bozo behaviour everywhere you look. What did this guy think he was going to achieve with that tape....

Working in a pub the day after the smoking ban came in was hilarious. You could see the social dynamics of the regulars shifting right before your very eyes in real time, as people worked out which regulars stank of BO and had terrible breath. A whole world of smells were buried under that smoke.

We're easing ourselves back into #F2 after the summer break with a completely normal, totally not chaotic qualifying session, I see.

I have got all the time in the world for Jean-Philippe Mateta. Always looks so eager to hype up the people around him and make sure all the credit gets shared around. Seems a properly lovely bloke.

It's the Old Firm this weekend, and I know foreshadowing when I see it:
BBC Sport headline:

If I had a penny for every time a Taskmaster contestant was given five points for bringing in a picture of themselves doing whiteface for the prize task, I'd have two pennies. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

The saying 'as American as apple pie' really does become grimly funny when you learn that apples, wheat, sugar, and butter all didn't even exist in the Americas until the Columbian Exchange. Accidentally perfect satire.

That's the first time I've ever watched Alexandra Eala play. I'm already a huge fan. That performance from 5-1 down in the third, to drag herself back into it and then grind out the win in a gruelling tie-break, was sensational. A brilliant match to watch 🎾

The cake task in the latest Taskmaster NZ episode is absolutely diabolical. I bet whoever thought that one up felt very pleased with themselves.
