screen grab of Sun Sport artilce about IOC ban for trans women including a picture of Cisgender Boxer Imame Khelife

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Our politicians did more to regulate Prince and Twisted Sister songs than glacier melting chatbots that promote suicide

It just shows the levels of seria A during the 90s, I can't really argue over who to take out of that first team. In terms of Italy though, Batistuta should be ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Today on Libero, we look at the Old Firm in crisis, and how Hearts could seize the opportunity.

I have to say it's unusual for Hearts to make up for my Liverpool support.

This is really not a new thing, we booked a honeymoon in 2011 and paid it up.

These two should have been glued together in the other sequels.

Tuchel falling out with people, who'd have thunk it. Not picking him is fine but if England don't win, it gives the media an easy thing to beat Tuchel with.

The BBC will never let it truly die. It will come back, even if the budgets are small and it takes a few years.

This and football clichΓ©s are the two best. Both different from each other but different from all the others.
