Journalism didn’t fall down the CAO list by accident. It’s a field increasingly reserved for those who can afford years of low pay, unpaid internships, and a system where who you know still matters more than what you know.

By all means, have a laugh at how out of place Paul Tierney looks alongside the Chelsea players. But remember, this is how it begins. Give it six months and he’ll be annexing Greenland and bombing Iran.

I need some metal album recommendations. Old or new. It doesn't matter as long as it's good.

I know it is a scam, but the algorithmic dominance of the 'practice Tai ChI to get ripped' YouTube ads is genuinely impressive.

Cardiff might be the most metal city I've ever been to. Was in an Asian tapas spot earlier and there was a woman in there casually talking about Slaughter to Prevail to a fella.

If they have weight classes for combat sports, they should have height classes for basketball.

Didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. By the numbers, but honest and elevated by the acting.

5 years ago in my job interview they asked, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” I didn’t say, “Hovering over gridlock traffic on a billboard in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.” But here we are.

One thing about this Arsenal team, even in defeat they give 100% effort. Not the players' fault this season has been a letdown. Very proud of Arsenal. #COYG
