Thereโ€™s no one more lo-fi on bluesky. Football (#bhafc), literature and dismay.

Agree with most of that but I sometimes wonder if in possession what modern teams now need is to be endlessly flexible (i.e. go long at times, hold the ball at times) rather than have one set style. I've no idea how you coach that though!

He's also inherited the higher expectation that RDZ created with Europe. I feel a top 10 finish would still be huge for our club but most of us are now aiming higher than that. He needs to get Baleba firing - or trust someone else to play that position - to decide how this season ends.

We hear a lot about integration of migrants. A small point Iโ€™ve noticed with my parentsโ€™ carers is how they offer an anglicised version of their name for our convenience. I donโ€™t think they should have to do this but it shows how hard people try to โ€œfit inโ€.

The only realistic solution is to grant temporary permission to stay for people from countries where we know most asylum applications succeed, subject to rigorous security checks. This could end the use of costly asylum hotels next year. t.co/U1YPWhAxlO

pages document 3o,573 false or misleading claims by Donald Trump from his
first day in office, 2017, to his final day on January 20, 2020, when Joe Biden was sworn in as the country's next president. All that verbiage is s3" thick, weighs 52 pounds, and it started like this.
The disolution of the Delaware College of Art & Design, to whom Lead Graffti had donated 1oos of design books over the past decade, brought an invitation to redaim them. We found a few, which brought us another interesting find โ€” a blank Coppic-stitched book with a spine about 36 inches wide bound by Ema Ishii Holdredge for her BEA show at the Corcoran School of Art in
2008. That book haunted us for several weeks, and we decided it was too audacious not to give ita Lead Graffiti shot. For a while, we pondered how to fill a several thousand-page book with
content that made a serious point.
The notion of the presidential untruths came to mind, so maybe there was some documentation we could "borrow?" Sure enough, in a few Safari minutes, we found a downloadable PDE from
The Washington Post that we could massage into a typographic form we could use. We were off. Ray undertook the ink-jet printing of the pages, folding and inserting the red cover-weight sheets for structural support, and gathering and
punching the folds for sewing. Jill did 99.8% of the sewing.
At a 3o2 United gathering, we encouraged attendees to give the book a stroke.
Shown at right is the head of the Delaware ACLU, who has excellent technique.

This is a 52-pound 9000+ page accordion-bound artistโ€™s book of Donald Trumpโ€™s lies, conceived, printed, and bound by Jill and Ray Nichols of @leadgraffiti.bsky.social in Delaware. Each of the 9000 pages has the text (per the Washington Post) of one or more of Trumpโ€™s lies; none are repeated.

Not a chance imo. Theyโ€™ll happily follow a line that evidence is faked or manipulated. And that Epstein was threatening to bring down other โ€œinnocentโ€ people with him as a bargaining chip. We need to rid ourselves of the delusion that the far-right will one day return to facts and evidence.

Isn't Trump already on record as saying something like: "He likes 'em even younger than I do"? Not sure how much more this might add.

Born on this day in 1930, the oldest surviving Brighton & Hove Albion (and Charlton Athletic) player still walking God's Earth. Happy 95th birthday Eric Gill, one of the best goalkeepers of his generation & the subject (along with Dave Hollins) of my 2022 book 'Eric & Dave'.

Wouldnโ€™t you say it at least gives a factual record? I realise many people will lie anyway but it leads puts something on the record for people who still try to work with facts?
