It is quite sad to see this go this way.

This is not just cursed, its monstrous. The digital resurrection of a historian who died in January of this year, all so Grammarly can get some more clicks and engagement from students and/or scholars and/or others.

It feels so wrong on so many levels, these ghosts enslaved to AI forever

This is a fantastic picture.

Lovely 👏

Harry Brook picking the perfect time to make a first T20I Hundred 💙

Keep well, both of you.

The Hundred: IPL-linked teams 'not considering Pakistan players' Four sides in The Hundred with links to the IPL are not expected to sign players from Pakistan in next month's auction.

This is outrageous, and I would expect that anti-discrimination legislation should apply. The de facto ban on Pakistan players in the IPL is bad enough, but for it to be extended across the world can't be allowed.

We are delighted to announce the overseas signing of Australian Test star Jhye Richardson, with the bowler joining for the first block of Rothesay County Championship fixtures ⭐️

Selfishly with a 7 month old who does not travel well, I would like as many fixtures for the women and men's side at Headingley as possible.

Beyond that, it's always nice to be at Scarborough. For home fixtures, echoing others it would be good to see something in Bradford and Sheff.

This is a real shame, but as you say, she is talented in the commentary box. Hopefully, this will lead to her being on air more often and it is a fruitful future for her.

Not against Tifo if it originates with fan groups as a bottom up culture that the clubs abide or sign off on.

The plastic English thing of the club directing people to do x and y is horrendous.

In a low-resolution screen capture from Red Dwarf, a character stands in a doorway marked "STASIS" while the words "The End" are superimposed across the center of the frame.

Red Dwarf started 38 years ago today on BBC Two with the aptly named "The End".

Yorkshire CCC is delighted to confirm Matthew Revis has extended his contract with the Club 💙

The 2025 Men's Members' Player of the Year has signed a new deal to stay with his home county until at least 2028 ✍️

Cricket commentator Ian Bishop laying by the boundary rope, microphone in hand during England V West Indies in the 2026 t20 Cricket world cup.

Now the little one is asleep (for now) I thought I would catch up on the days World Cup action.

Only to be confronted by Ian Bishop lounging over a boundary rope saying:

"My trousers aren't in any danger of getting moist or wet"

.... right.

This image shows the Hunslet Steel Works in Leeds, England, which operated between 1889 and 1935. Located between Balm Road and Pepper Road, the works covered 25 acres and was a major industrial centre. At its peak, the foundry employed 1,400 to 1,500 people and was a significant manufacturer of steel tram tracks. The area was characterised by extreme industrial pollution, with estimated soot fall-out of 45 tons per square mile annually in the early 20th century. The site was serviced by the Midland Railway, allowing for the transport of raw materials and the export of finished products worldwide.

A photograph courtesy of of Leeds Museums and Galleries of the city's Steel Works in the Hunslet area dating to March 1921 when a strike was taking place. The site opened in 1889 and was at one time Britain's largest producer of steel tram tracks. 1/3

I like how every two years at a T20 World Cup everyone goes “wow the associate cricket teams are much better than we thought, we should do more to assist their development and grow the global game” and then nothing changes

😅 All fun and games.

Our seven month old is captivated by that shirt. I made the mistake of trying to feed him in it the other day, but the peacock trance hit hard.

Always seemed like a nice guy, probably too nice for Leeds. Wish him well.

I get a tiktok/reel orientated culture, but it seems odd to video record the whole thing just to clip it.

But hey, what do I know?

Lovely.

Leaflet issued during the May 1926 General Strike in support of the government: The General Strike. MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER. Constitutional Government is being attacked. Let all good Citizens whose livelihood and labour have thus been put in peril bear with fortitude and patience the hardships with which they have been so suddenly confronted. Stand behind the Government, who are doing their part, confident that you will co-operate in the measures they have undertaken to preserve the liberties and privileges of the people of these Islands. The laws of England are the people’s birthright. The laws are in your keeping. You have made Parliament their guardian. The General Strike is a challenge to Parliament and is the road to anarchy and ruin. STANLEY BALDWIN.

Front page of the Daily Graphic, 13 May 1926. It includes photographs of strike breaking activities, including medical students and soldiers moving goods.

The Leeds Citizen, a special strike bulletin published on behalf of the local strike committee. This edition dates from 8 May 1926 and includes the Trades Union Congress' statement that the General Strike was an industrial dispute (rather than a revolutionary challenge to the constitution), information about the local situation, and a report on debates in the House of Commons.

Leaflet issued by the Trades Union Congress during the May 1926 General Strike: TRADES UNION CONGRESS CONSTITUTION NOT CHALLENGED The General Council of the Trades Union Congress does NOT challenge Constitution. It is not seeking to substitute unconstitutional government. Nor is it desirous of undermining our Parliamentary institutions. AN INDUSTRIAL DISPUTE The sole aim of the Council is to secure for the miners a decent standard of life. The Council is engaged in an Industrial dispute. THERE IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS. THE ONLY ISSUE In any settlement, the only issue to be decided will be an industrial issue, not political, not constitutional. Printed and Published by the General Council of the Trades Union Congress, 33 Eccleston Square, London, S.W
