FT: Club Brugge 2-3 #AVFC Villa start the league phase with a solid victory. Never felt a game that would have the typical Emery control, with Villa faring better on transitions, capitalising on the vast amounts of space left by the hosts.

The college where I work provides a lecture series for students looking to learn beyond the curriculum/what they're studying - my one for 2026 is good to go:

I tempered my expectations, but it's a real treat - the structure if nothing else is brilliant, and the last hour is a brilliant payoff - hope you enjoy it!

My first thought was 'ugh, no' too, but I'm giving Unai the benefit of the doubt! (Possible that he's spoken to Lindelof, who has maybe said "There's a player in there, he just needs the right manager..." That's my hope, anyway!) #UTV

As with the Dorchester show, this is a chance to heckle us in person!

You better believe it! I read an extract from it in the first 'Department X' episode, and it's going to feature heavily in the next one...

YESSSSS - LOVE IT! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cut to: Moodily-lit conference room, CIA HQ, Langley, 1974: "Gentlemen, we're getting reports that the Soviets have successfully weaponised a psychic beagle. We need to accelerate our own psychic pet warfare division immediately!"

A rare bit of self-promotion; this is the spin-off @generalwitch.bsky.social episode I've been working on - why did parapsychology get so big in the 70s? (I appreciate this is niche!) open.spotify.com/episode/4B3E...

I watched 'The Last Sacrifice' last night; it falls between the two stools of 'true crime tale' and 'sociological overview', but it's definitely worth a watch - especially if you're our @generalwitch.bsky.social listner... youtu.be/rcfAuUjibAk?...

Classic Beeb tactic! They did run it in order - and I can clearly remember feeling a) discombobulated and b) heartbroken when the last episode finished... (I wish I could pass a message back in time to teen me saying 'Be patient...') 😀
