I am out of reach from Tottenham's ability to disappoint

If fans have issue with Bentancur because of last summer, that is totally valid. However, I think 'analysis' calling him bad is completely off-mark. Spurs bad build-up is structural as well as profile & 29 is not too old for a player on a mid-length contract

Played my wildcard this week and I have either optimised my team or completely destroyed it #fpl

That is a great shout. I think I have a merino wool top somewhere which I packed away for summer, but would be perfect for this

Trying to pack efficiently for 2 weeks in Canada but the forecast is highs of 23°, lows of 14°, sunny and rainy. Im spending times in cities and more rural areas, so I guess I just need to bring all the clothes I own

This has been out less than a week but I'm pretty sure it is already going to be one of my most listened to songs of the year. Something about it hits just right as Autumn weather is kicking in

The richest man in the world is a racist with the emotional development of a 12 year old, his friend who finances the right believes he’s fighting the Antichrist, and the President is a dimwitted sex criminal who thinks he’s a polymath. Curtailing their influence is literally the government’s job.

Potentially a better Universe but who knows what weird other resulting effects there could be alongside it

I do tend to seek it out. I think I've just been relentlessly reading and engaging with it over the last few weeks and it's getting too much. Muting for a while may be the way to go

Oh I only meant political figures. Trump, Farage et al

It's my fault for curating my social media timelines the way that I have, but I can't be on here. I am sick to death of seeing all of their cruel stupid faces and listening to their nonsense on a daily basis

Whether it’s paracetamol or something else, Trump and co are perpetuating the idea autism is wrong and disability is an individual’s responsibility to avoid. It’s anti-science but it’s deeply ableist at its core. The goal is for non-disabled to be afraid and disabled people to be ashamed.

To celebrate the first day of Fall, enjoy Aardman's beautiful stop motion short for the 10th anniversary of Over The Garden Wall.

I can't tell whether RFK and Trump are doing this only because they believe medical conspiracy theories or if this is part of a malicious scheme to frame neurodivergence as a choice or fault of the parent, then go on to remove all kinds of social & financial support for neurodivergent people

14 defensive contributions!? Forget what I said, we're fine

My Kudus -> Semenyo transfer may work out long term but has gone about as badly as I could have predicted this week #fpl

I think FPL has crashed as it won't let me use my wildcard. Maybe it is a sign to keep my team mostly the same

Feeling incentivised to smash through my watchlist on Disney+ then cancel it forever

Sufferball in the truest sense. I wish I wasn't watching this

Please put Xavi at 10. Even for just 10 mins

Don't know if it's been commented on yet but attendance feels very low this evening at Spurs game

The analytics people are so keen to highlight gains through set pieces they want all the goals to be set pieces 😔

I think it's nonsense/semantics as well. I think it's so the definition can encompass 'set piece routines', but I still wouldn't really have called VdV's goal that. However Frank apparently did say to Micky that he wants him to score a headed goal direct from a corner and not 'a second phase goal'

Van de Ven's goal against West Ham 'technically' goes down as a set piece goal as it was 2nd phase after a corner

Feedback was really positive!

I still think the core premise of the story is a bit confusing but lovely to have some affirming feedback

Psychologically, we're living in very hard times for all who care deeply about science, empathy, equity, nature, and rights for all citizens of the planet, human or otherwise.

Find strength, solace, and community in like-minded others, positive action, and in Mother Earth

Thought I would chill out this evening by putting on a film I love but haven't seen in a long time and being a complete idiot I thoughtlessly pick Pan's Labyrinth

Events in Central London today have left me feeling tired, sad and frustrated

If I were the UK Government I would simply not route all my communications through the platform whose owner just called for regime change in Britain and said "fight back or die"

I'm genuinely grateful for the solidarity, irrespective of how rare this is from a politician. But fascism can't be reduced to displaced economic concerns. It doesn't stand up analytically, it won't help politically or strategically, and I really wish the left (of which I'm part) wouldn't do this.
