Oldham Athletic stadium artwork marks town's key IVF role The design is a prototype for a much larger installation, Latics owner Frank Rothwell says.

This is so lovely, I had no idea Oldham created IVF - it's great to see towns celebrate their history and achievements

See what mayhem today brings for City. Here’s why it might not all be plain sailing for Liverpool or Arsenal either.

Absolutely hysterical piece on Greg Wallace from Caitlin Moran @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social in the Times. The best piece of life advice I can give you is to go read it. Right now.

Still true:
*Britain is a success story
*Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well
*Multiculturalism is popular
*Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration
*Nostalgia is increasingly weird
*Britain is incredibly safe
*Levels of social cohesion are high
Don't let them gaslight you.

I don't feel folks understand Bluesky fully, having dealt with the punishment/reward system of the other socials.

There is no algorithm here. If you don't repost it, few will see it.

So I am not sure I can use this place as a base for my journalism.

Needs a lot more community involvement yet.

My mid-point review of City’s 2024/25 season for @guardian_sport.

Definitely the first time I’ve properly put the boot in during Guardiola’s tenure. But I think it’s fair enough. Desperately need a win (and 3 points!) vs. Leicester today. Otherwise… 😬πŸ”ͺ

RTs appreciated #MCFC.

Thread by @SecretDJBook on Thread Reader App @SecretDJBook: Entonces! This week’s MEGATHREAD is a very simple affair. It talks of a lifelong love affair with THE FUNK. I am as obsessed with it today as I was back when I was a kid...

Fridays on Xhitter I do a regular MEGATHREAD 🧡 and this week the topic is THE FUNK.

Eventually I hope to migrate fully to here but for now here it is unrolled on threadreader -

You jammy gets!

A "slightly" different approach this week.

With news that City are producing fictional TV shows, we sent a script their way.

Coming to City+ soon? #no
