Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down (describes the past couple of weeks in unflinching and uncomfortable detail, making no attempt to fit any of it to the beat)

Dire Straits' Romeo and Juliet is a fucking banger, isn't it? My 20-year-old self would be horrified to hear me saying this, but then he was always a bit of a prick.

RIGHT YOU LOT. Time to fire up the pre-season preview machine. Big plans, and there's a few ways you can help me out... If you're a captain or club official, please fill in the pre-season survey which should have been sent to you all. The more clubs fill it in, the better.

You have to understand that they do not and will not ever play ‘fair’. They will distort reality in whatever way suits them. Their side are martyrs and anyone else killed by their thugs is just collateral.

Assassinated trying to change people's minds
Conservative pundit Charlie Kirk was hosting a "Prove Me Wrong" meeting at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah - the kind of event where the free-speech proponent thrived - when he was shot by an assassin from a nearby rooftop and killed. He was 31.

England's away Ashes Tests this century, grouped by whether they batted third or fourth (to make comparisons easier) and in order from good result to bad result. The green ones are this series.

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

“These England batters are two of my favourites and I am unable to sleep when they are batting” “Wow you must be having a really fun time enjoying watching them bat” “You’d think, wouldn’t you”

Something particularly agonising hearing about dreadful things happening to kids the same age as yours, isn't there? Taking frequent child-hugging breaks from subbing this story about the Swiss fire.
