The more red lines are allowed to wither, the more difficult it’ll be to keep to what remains.

Given Grok’s recent activities it seems increasingly difficult to see how any public organisation can square a presence on X with its own safeguarding responsibilities, let alone anything else.

Hello Internet. I read a lot of email newsletters. Perhaps more accurately, I am subscribed to a lot of email newsletters and would like to read more of them.

I would like an e-reader to do this. I would like to automate the process of the newsletters appearing on the e-reader.

In this possible?

Hi. It’s Kim Boak. 👍

"I had forgotten that there could ever be domestic conflicts where law enforcement were not themselves belligerents."

Crikey. That stopped me in my tracks.

Obviously I could have stopped at any number of charging points along the way between Salford & Sheffied. But, with a breezy and misplaced confidence, I was comfortable of getting up and over Snake Pass with what I had. It was more of an arse-clenching experience than I’d anticipated...

So I’m genuinely quite relaxed about getting home when the EV battery is running low, but even I admit to cutting this a little fine.

Throughout their win vs Botswana at AFCON, a DR Congo supporter replicated the stance of Patrice Lumumba, a key figure in African and Congolese independence who was assassinated in 1961 following a joint plot between political opponents, Belgium, the US, and UK 🇨🇩

Watched Sheffield Wednesday-Derby tonight and just flicked over to see the Manchester United-Bournemouth score. 🫠

Two of Leicester’s three goals against Ipswich today came from an xG of 0.09.

Why is League Two so old? Ali Maxwell investigates a phenomenon he discovered by accident...

All of a sudden the average age of squads in League Two has jumped.

Terrific research in this piece from @ntt20.com on why it's happening, and what it means for young talent.

That was the very excellent Paul Walker. 👍

Either is more sensible than asking drivers to guess their mileage 12 months in advance.

New cars still get serviced every year. Check the mileage at the same time.

So why not just bring in the tax a year earlier and make every year afterwards much simpler? The yield in the early years is relatively small anyway.

Alongside paying their VED each year, under eVED motorists will estimate their mileage for the year ahead, pay an upfront charge based on their estimate or spread their payment across the year, and then submit their actual mileage at the end of the year to trigger a reconciliation.

What is the sense in asking drivers to guess how many miles they'll drive in the year ahead, then reconciling the difference between the estimate and reality a year later?

Why not just get an accurate mileage figure each year at an MOT, and levy the tax from that?

Am I missing something?

So are England good at cricket or not?

Many apologies, I’m not sure.

Getting prepped for Brackley Town v Notts County tomorrow and seeing where the rabbit holes go.

Here's Brackley wing-back Justin Donowa winning U17s Triple jump gold for Bermuda at the 2012 CARIFTA Games.

There's definitely a line in that...
