Hi! I'm a cellist/composer/film maker and I'm obsessed with neurobiology, in particular Antonio Damasio's Strange Order of Things.#homeostaticimperative. I was called MademoiselleClio on Twitter!

Hurricane was an archetype for one of the characters in this Bob Dylan inspired play I reviewed. (What's the double helix?) open.substack.com/pub/lesboum/...

At the end of the day, I don't think we should really be making stories about this. Is it a story? I think because of his great attitude, his being a prodigy and his boyish looks he attracts a lot of sympathy, but really, football is savage. He's clearly not doing what his managers want.

I think as much as anything else, it's like the messaging from Slot to the full back is 'I don't trust you'. This whole narrative around SoBoss being our only good player is terrible fr the team, but its encouraged by Slots changes. I think tinkering w Grav's position then injury is big reason.

Great stuff, agree with all of that. Slot has stumbled because his training rhythm hasn't got into gear. Last season taught us that he's massive advocate of consistency -new signings and Macca/ Bradley/Frimpong and other injuries have screwed that up. Also, loss of Heitinga? Bronckhurst? TRAINING!

Yes it was an interesting time for forming allegiances in the face of adversity. The internet seemed like a place of possibilities. Seems scarier now, even though we're still all just people on the internet.

What, he's on again at the Old Vic already? I just wrote this article about Girl from the North Country, which I was disappointed by, but I didn't feel that was down to Conor - would love to have my faith restored.

Doesn't it show how terrified the super rich are? Their own security is top on their list of priorities. Guilty conscience or what!

Good game! Kept going til the end and the ferocity nearly paid off. Jessica and Steph brought some much needed terrorising on the wings. Our No 11 was the standout in the first half. What's her name? Couldn't find it in the program (which seems a bit naff!)

I don't really understand why it's not possible to defeat the 'climate change is a scam' angle.

I watched it and think, if anything, the quality of his performance isn't being given enough credit in terms of how much he's improved from when we first got him. He rarely gets to play with other top forwards and his awareness, timing and sharpness of his passing were exceptional and decisive.

Not much backup in midfield. A big ask for Pilling.

Tactical plus data analysis of Liverpool's win over Atletico Madrid.

Ft. Gravenberch's position in the first 15 mins, having chances but not killing games, defensive tracking a slight issue, but late winners not "lucky".

Why Do So Many People Think Trump Is Good? The work of the moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre helps illuminate some central questions of our time.

Wow- this article is terrific. It makes me mindful of why sports teams are probably the nearest thing to moral compasses in today's society! Which kind of says it all - collective moralities that form default adversaries... www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It's funny reading that list, (great list btw); there's a theme going on where it's the spare man getting the rewards. The one the opposition forgot to mark - probably because they were mentally exhausted.
