darts is about to get a lot more repetitive. which is obviously great for business - look what tiger woods did for golf, eg. but over time, may also underline just how homogenous the product itself has become. time for some fresh formats and fresh ideas www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2...

This was the original plan for the Paul King movies - he’d demonstrated the technique worked on the big screen in Bunny and the Bull, deliberately - but the studio weren’t keen on using the 2D/3D blend, as the Ivor Wood animations have zero nostalgic recognition outside the UK.

In the past week, I have bought tickets for Die Walküre at the Royal Opera House and Parsifal at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden. Both productions are in one month of each other. the ticket in London cost £160, whereas the ticket in Berlin came in at £68.

I'm actually at the point where I think it would be less offensive if sports administrators just said "we're doing this because we don't think trans people are real and/or they disgust us"

John Brown was executed #OTD in 1859. His embrace of violence as a means to empower enslaved people to take their freedom occurred within a system of violence that made slavery possible and in which it thrived. That's something to remember next time you dismiss Brown by calling him a "terrorist." 🗃️

Union busting tactics should be outlawed & will be under the new deal for workers. It’s just a shame some who purport to be supportive of strengthening workers rights, including some who should be defending them, have their ego and inability to negotiate, stand in the way.
