The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

From Isak to Ekitiké: profiling in-demand strikers Find the perfect centre-forward with Attributes and Archetypes

This summer's transfer window will be defined by centre-forwards. So, we have profiled eight of the most in-demand strikers with Attributes and Archetypes.

I fixed it for them

To our trans friends:

We see you. We’re with you. Trans people belong – everywhere. Including in football.

The events of the last few weeks’ have been a result of a catastrophic failure of leadership and courage from our politicians, media, and society as a whole.

Pope Francis dedicated his life to the marginalised, displaced and dispossessed.

A rare voice for humanity, he spent his final days on this earth calling for peace.

Let his enduring legacy — of empathy, courage and kindness — inspire us to build a more humane world for all.

Last Thur.

Shopkeepers doing great business; customers happy.

Peter Dutton can fuck off back to QLD.

Pope Francis’s Easter message, read in St. Peter's Square a day before his death:

F**k off. Victorians hate you. We will never forgive you. First I was to scared to go to restaurant’s. Now you’re telling me I’m too scared to go to Bunnings too. You are such an absolute tosser. Never speak for Victorians. Only thing we’re scared of is you as our next PM.

What if Elon is the first autistic person RFK has ever actually met and that’s why he assumes we don’t pay taxes or go on dates

But ideological zealousness has limits. @martinrafelt.bsky.social comes to mind. ‘Is performance down to how well players play to a game model, or how well your game model can be adapted to get the best out of your players.’ I think the later. So on reflection, I’m wrong! Aussie bias coming through

It’s a fair question given the performances, and position in the league. I do think there are mitigating circumstances, crucial injuries, at crucial times, which undermined confidence and thus exposed the limitations of his steadfast commitment to his game model. 1/2.

I’m still trying to process what I watched 😵‍💫

To be fair to him, he’s been coping a completely disproportionate amount of stick. You’re right of course, and he’ll probably reflect back later and wish he’d been able to rise above it, but he is human.

What did we just watch? I don’t understand it. 🎢

Utterly woeful. Totally embarrassing. This is the worst United performance in Europe I’ve ever seen. Shocking.

Week after week just have these periods of the game where we just totally switch off. Remarkably bad.

Unless every university in America is ready to say no to federal ideological coercion, this moment will not be a line in the sand. It will be a footnote in the obituary of academic freedom.

That’s a shocking goal to concede. Awful timing. Onana just must do better. Missed chances to make it 3-1, and now it’s 2-2. Disappointing.

Libero This is another podcast about football. But it is also not really, when you think about it, about football. It is about the football industry, about that gauzy web of characters who determine how the ...

Libero 006 has dropped! Has this season been... a good season? Plus: why is it that journalists can never seem to get as worked up as referees as fans do?

Trump’s campaign of ‘lawfare’ against me and my company, Orbis isn’t ending well for him. Today in the English High Court, Justice Rowley more than doubled the interim costs award in our favour (to £625k) arising from Trump’s ludicrous, failed UK data protection case against us. We stand vindicated.

Spot on. Prosperity not evenly distributed, is not prosperity.

Inspired by original works of Savile Lumley.

Meta stole my writing to train its AI without payment or permission. I stand with @societyofauthors.bsky.social in protesting this theft. #DoTheWriteThing

The full report by the Tony Blair Institute is out, in which they detail how copyright should be "rebooted" in the AI age. It reads like a big tech lobbying document. I hope they will be asked serious questions at its launch in London today.

Some very brief highlights:

🧵 1/8

The image is a meme consisting of four panels. Each panel features two people who appear to be in a discussion or interview setting.In the top left panel, a man and woman are shown. The man has short hair and appears surprised while the woman looks serious. Both individuals have their mouths open as if mid-conversation. There is no text visible in this panel.The top right panel depicts the same two characters but now the man’s expression suggests he is making an argument or explaining something, while the woman continues to look serious. The text at the bottom of this panel reads: "We collect $ billion by taxing oil & gas companies."In the bottom left panel, the man and woman are shown again. The man’s expression has changed to one of confusion or questioning, while the woman looks impatient. The text at the bottom of this panel reads: "On we only got $ billion."The bottom right panel shows a change in the characters: now there is a man and a boy. The man’s expression remains one of confusion, and the boy appears to be in disagreement with him. The text at the bottom of this panel reads: “We only got $96 billion.” The overall style of the image is that of a comic strip or meme designed to illustrate a humorous comparison between two sets of figures related to taxation on oil and gas companies.

I have some solutions to fix that that I'm sure Speersy would endorse🤣
