With regards to the Cornell 7 and *everything else*, I wrote this nearly a decade ago ... jonsmalldon.wordpress.com/2017/10/16/i...

I wrote a thing about #metoo. You can tell me to sod off if you like.
I’m a man writing about sexual assaults and harassment, that sort of thing.  The usual way this happens is male on female.  So, with that in mind, I will understand if you tell me to fuck off…

I don't know if this line, "you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building" is one from somewhere else but it's a brilliant summary.

Falsely accusing someone of voluntarily attending an Atlanta Hawks game is a new low for American politics.

City, as a brand has to, except for loyal Mancs, be now utterly stained beyond repair as a global brand

I don’t care what they do with the titles and honours - leave them vacant, hand them over, whatever - but City can’t claim them any longer. And they cannot stay in the Premier League.

imagine being Case Keenum, being 38 years old, playing in an NFL game for the first time in years, you’re tired as shit, and then you gotta run to the radio station to record American Top 40

I'd have rathered the Irish team not play yesterday, but I do worry that, perhaps out of a feeling of helplessness to do more ourselves, as a society we are putting too much onus on players/artists to make these gestures (which may carry a cost), and hitting them with too much venom if they don't

the "iced coffee at a job interview" discussion is obviously stupid but also a great representation of the fact that every single HR person/recruiter has their own different made up rules for candidates and all of them think they are absolutely correct

We are about to have three ODIs going on simultaneously involving the so-called big three nations, none playing against each other. This could be the last day on Planet Earth that this ever happens outside of a World Cup, and even then it is unlikely.

I don't mind people drinking at games if it is (a) something I am also doing, and (b) there is space for people to walk to and from the bogs. Hence it's always fine at a non league game with standing - less so in a ground with tight rows of seating.

Musing this morning ... the Venn diagram of people who hate the Americanisation of sport because it's all about things off the pitch, music and silly stuff and those who miss FA Cup day starting with breakfast with the teams and then Little & Large doing a bit ... is a circle.

Disney+ have just slapped a three minute ad break over their UWCL coverage - completely cutting out, mid sentence, an interview that was going on. I'm leaving aside the fact that we already pay for his thing without needing multiple three minute ad breaks.

once again, GPs are so uniquely bad at diagnosing mental health. the first time i went for mental health reasons, he put me on ssris without consulting anyone. he just looked up the dose in a little book then put me on that dose immediately. lost an entire year of my life.
