As a Forest fan I'd have to be biased and say João Pedro because he got me the most points for my Premier League fantasy team! 😸

Good. Now get this obscene corrupt excuse for a custodian out of his role, and reform the governance and leadership role, to slowly begin restoring trust to billions of fans worldwide. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

#Baresi #CAPITANO One of the best defenders of all time. No more needs to be said to understand the loss to football. But he was more than that; A leader, a friend, a talisman, a legend. And alongside his family, the world of football grieves the passing of No.6 www.acmilan.com/en/news/arti...

The way Good Morning Britain interviewed Zack Polanski was absurd. They were basically insisting that “net zero” (aka climate policies) are a long term thing project, and that we have to deal with the here and now as well. Which they’re asserting means more fossil fuel investment. They can’t grasp..

I think Liverpool should have stuck with Arne Slot. But what's done is done. I think Iraola is a good manager, and he could do well at Liverpool but needs time to impose his style and influence. First season might be trophy-less, but I think success will come in time.

Today the UK 🇬🇧 is cooking with temperatures set to hit around 34°C ☀️🌡️🌻🥵 Days like today remind me why the sooner society transitions to renewable energy, the better for everyone. 😎🌞🌬️🍃🌊 Renewables aren't perfect and not 0% pollution, but it would be a massive step in the right direction. ✅

When people magnify the environmental impacts of renewables, the implication is that they must somehow be worse than the existing energy system In reality the existing energy system is not just more destructive than renewables - it's more destructive than anyone even realises

This really is quite something. In the 15 years @carbonbrief.org have tracked UK media, 2025 was first ever year where more newspaper editorials opposed #climate action than supported it. Meanwhile, the *actual* climate crisis deepens by the month. Go figure.

Generally not bothered about Scottish football, but took a passing interest because something exciting, uplifting, different was going to happen... But no. Yet again, the title winner is same old same old.

Non-USian here: Why is the "Mid West" region, not left of the centre of the country and instead is placed above the "South" region and confusingly borders the "North East". Is there a particular reason how these names arise?

The UK set a new record for renewable energy generation over the last few weeks We need to continue this push to be 100% renewable and then look at the surrounding sectors involved to further realise benefits (logistics, energy grid maintenance etc)
Screenshot from the National Energy System Operator (NESO) Android app cropped to show the two UK records recently set for maximum wind power produced of 23880MW on 25/03/2026 and maximum solar power of 14414MW achieved on 07/04/2026

Can't say I'm surprised. In addition to US Government policies making it such a "welcoming" place to visit right now, it's compounded by greedy FIFA setting high ticket prices and ridiculously low fan association ticket allowances; ENG vs CRO is 4k each team, so 8k total, out of 94k

Silent Running has something of a cult following, but I just couldn't get into it, and didn't see the appeal. This is despite loving sci-fi, including older films such as The Day The Earth Stood Still and The Man Who Fell To Earth

I can't understand why a meeting is required? If a threshold is there and a policy in place that determining status, surely the country should be automatically reclassified once confirmed cases exceed threshold over a sustained period? (Simplistic non-scientist opinion wading in here!)
