Al Overview Willem Dafoe is not in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, but he has appeared in other Star Wars films, including The Last Temptation of Christ (1988).

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary

This season will be at times a disaster and at others glorious, like every season. There is no way to predict where those extremes will occur.

That's football.

Three of those goals were worldies and the other was offside.

Our problem is the attack, we're just not threatening at the moment.

It must have been what Sonny was waiting for

They went up last week.

Everyone in the service industry should be allowed to fight 1 customer a year without consequence.

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

Son Heung-min is Tottenham. Tottenham is Son Heung-min. Son’s 10-year Spurs career ended in Seoul this week, but it was in Bilbao in May that his embodiment of the club became complete

The Son Heung-min story.

How a £22m signing from Bayer Leverkusen became the most important and most popular player in Tottenham's modern history.

That's a lovely piece of sports writing. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Because not everyone is a financial wizard and car salesmen are very good at their jobs.

Which is why we have the FCA to protect the consumer from illegal practices, as they have in this case - and the courts have backed them up.

The diesel emissions scandal was much more of a naked cash grab. Nobody ever bought a diesel car with the aim of reducing their emissions.

In this case the salesmen were adding extra interest for themselves without telling the customer.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

He actually seemed to say "to this decision", not with. He stumbled over the words a bit so I'm not sure we can read too much into it.

I suspect Frank told him he'd not be a starter and left him to decide but that's pure speculation.

The greatest x

I feel the deep love that many Tottenham Hotspur fans have for Son Heung-min, comes from his ability to reflect and represent the emotional core of football. His willingness to give, lead and sacrifice for the club, actualises the desires of every supporter who watches him. 1/8

Low

The odd slight glitch but otherwise fine.

Motherfucking wind farms…

X post by @nobushiromasaki. JP text: カムチャッカ半島付近の大地震（M8.0）による津波、日本各地にも1m程度の津波が来るという注意報が出てる。侮らないで。1mは、ふつうに自動車が流されるレベルです。画像は拾い物だけど、これが本当だから。沿岸地域の方、特に気をつけて！

On X, Masaki Nobushiro posts a recurring (and useful) drawing about how people wrongly think a 1m tsunami is a cresting wave when it's actually a wall of water filled with dangerous and deadly debris that's strong enough to sweep up a car.

I was at that game. We gave Saka a standing ovation when he came on. I don't remember any booing.

My son and I watched Asteroid City earlier and the blue/orangeness is burnt into my retina.

Loved the movie but that's not pertinent to the thread.

Maybe the director's a Wes Anderson fan?

OMG, that is your best ever!

She had a great game

Isn't it only three because the 2021 tournament was delayed?

[Scene is Women’s World Cup match showing on big screen in pub, lots of FANS in pub watching it cheerfully, apart from one guy at the back looking grumpy] 1 FANS [as goal goes in]: YYEEEESSS! 2 COMMENTATOR 1 VOICEOVER ON THE TV: Ooh and there's been a VAR check on that goal 3 COMMENTATOR 2: Yeah Robyn it looks like there’s been a question about it... 4 [show a miserable gammony bloke watching the same from the back of the pub] COMMENTATOR 2: …from Brian at the back of the pub. 5 COMMENTATOR 1: Looking at the replay we can see Brian using this rare moment of uncomplicated national joy 6 COMMENTATOR 1: to talk about men.

The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.

In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.

Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

They were poor in the first couple of years but they spent money on it and they got a lot better.

I hate to be that guy, but both streams have been absolutely rock solid for me.
