Happy Stanislav Petrov Day He passed in 2017. As Encyclopedia Britannica puts it, “He is survived by his two children, two grandchildren, and the entire human race.” If you don't know his story, please take 3 minutes now to learn it. @gchalliance.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social

If you pile your furniture in the middle of your living room then set it on fire, you will have the warmest house in your street, for a few hours.

Obviously there is aircon everywhere in Aus and the buildings are designed to be cool, but also life is different. When it hits 35C, Australians go out at 7am and then stay at home with the curtains drawn and the aircon on until the evening. I got invited to an outdoor unshaded lunch today at 1pm

As our great club is crowned at the pinnacle of English football today, please remember that football did not start in 1992 and that this is our 14th league title. That’s 8 more than Chelsea’s 6 (5x financially doped) and 4 more than City’s 10 (8x financially doped.

This, entirely. Because we haven't got over the line in one of them yet, it feels like we've been in a constant title race since the autumn of 2022.

Good to have confirmation that train bike reservations are not worth the paper they're written on. Valid reservation on Cross Country train then told I could not get on. So dismissive as well. Guy couldn't be bothered to enforce the reservation #uk #trains

Late on this but final of #TraitorsIRL was absolutely ruined. Mad format, basically pointless. Good series overall though, shame to end like that

Hincapie maybe the only starter who comes out of that with any self respect. Saka ok in 1st 1/2, Saliba ok. Eze did fairly well as a sub, Jesus & Trossard ok. Can't think of a worse performance from us in years. Feeling pretty down #WOLARS

Spurs have started this game working very hard to get a yard away from their opposite man and then not getting any closer. Utd still picking the passes they want to pick #MANTOT Don't think this strategy can work.

Seems to me, this is where the “one bad apple” argument breaks down - if Mandelson really were such an astonishing, rare, venal exception, putting his own interests above the country’s, then there would surely be nothing for the other Lords to be worried about

It is one of the worst pieces of Law-making I can think of. Actually incentivises the sort of foul that Bissouma did, where you take out a player but don't fully stop the ttack
"If the referee plays the advantage for an offence for which a caution/sending-off would have been issued had play been stopped, this caution/sending-off must be issued when the ball is next out of play. However, if the offence was denying the opposing team an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, the player is cautioned for unsporting behaviour; if the offence was interfering with or stopping a promising attack, the player is not cautioned.

@secondcaptains.bsky.social just on Phil Jones' point (conveniently based on one game) Sesko substitution 81 Merino's goal 84. Not a reaction to game going 2-2...

Kai Havertz is the first Arsenal player to score against an opponent whose first three letters are the same as the first three letters of his first name since Lee Dixon against Leeds in 1996.

As annoyed as I have been at a game in years, average Utd taking 3 points. Will listen to how brilliant Utd were now all week. Gave them hope in 1st 1/2 with unforced errors - absolutely infuriating #ARSMAN #afc

I'm pretty worried any time we fail to score, a lot of baggage from last season on that. 26 games last season where we scored <=1 goal. Can't have many of those between now and end of the season #NOTARS #afc #uta
