We've reached the nadir of scrutiny of VAR. That on-field review for the penalty award against Dunk was a total mess. The VAR only showed the ref a still image which made it look like an obvious handball, but the frame chosen wasn't the frame in which the ball hit Dunk. #WHUBHA #WestHam #Brighton

The far right tried to intimidate and sow hatred. Devon showed them what community looks like.

Data centres to be expanded across UK as concerns mount - BBC News The number of data centres is set to jump by a fifth in the coming years, figures seen by the BBC suggest.

More data centres are coming to the UK, with British citizens being expected to foot the electricity and water bill. A textbook example of socialism for corporations, cutthroat capitalism for the public.

Semenyo was abused by a fan who leaned out of his seat when Semenyo was about to take an attacking long throw on the near side a few mins before the stoppage. #LIVBOU

Cool. Thanks. Good to know that I wasn't overlooking something obvious in the settings. Lots of fun exploration to be done!

@solioanalytics.com Hi. Really enjoying playing around with the toolβ€”such an interesting and complex yet intuitive way of approaching optimisation. Great work! Can I just ask, how do I restrict the projection table to fewer than 12 GWs?

For clarity, the code isn't C1724Gβ€”the C is just to cancel any previous presses, so the code is 1724G and beginning by pressing C is just best practice.

Fulbright Board Quits, Accusing Trump Administration of Political Interference (Gift Article) The board of the prestigious program told the State Department it had no right to cancel scholarships for nearly 200 American professors and researchers.

The Fulbright Scholarship board resigned due to political interference from the Trump administration. The State Department, led by Marco Rubio, is canceling scholarships for nearly 200 American professors and researchers based on their research topics, which include climate change, gender, and race.

Me bending down to pick up the several parcels the low-cost courier has just photographed strewn across our doorstep and saying "what has she been buying now then?!?" even though all the labels clearly have my name on them.

Great to see Tom Banton back playing for England. He scores lots of runs of the face of the bat, unlike his dad Pato Banton who was always bye bye bye bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye. Still, Pato did often help his teams recover when slightly behindβ€”not a full reversal, just a baby comeback.

I'm in the same boat. I took a drop on Gabriel to delay choosing, but I'll prob bring in Saka and Arteta next week so will need to go elsewhere. I've got decent coverage through GW33, will FH 34 so am looking at 35+ and thinking another Forest def or Brentford. Sessignon looks interesting though.

It's difficult to know what to expect from Villa given how much their PL form has swung about after their CL games plus over the last 6 they have the worst xGC in the entire league. Digne has much better xData than Konsa but he is a known long term FPL troll. Do you have Arsenal defencive cover?

MuΓ±oz is pretty unlikely to get a CS in either, so you are essentially comparing their attacking threat. Over the last 6 games, MuΓ±oz has 0.16 xGI/90, 87.5 mins/game, and 6.83 points/90. Sarr has 0.84 xGI/90, 86.5 mins/game and 6.92 points/90. So Sarr looks clearly better.

With that team, I'd 100% BB this week. By next week you could have injuries and Saka will probably be lower EO next week than Isak will this.

1/5 All true. But it overlooks the most important wedge driving conservatives apart over the last 60 years: race. Macmillan’s government introduced the 1962 Commonwealth Immigrants Act restricting Black and brown people’s immigration.
