Losses are meant to hurt. Which is why I’m going to sulk for weeks

Only one team was pleased to see the rain, and it wasn’t India 😉

Reviewer 2 is a fictional creature. It's actually your conference buddy you thought liked the paper until they said "have you considered..." over drinks in the hotel bar

England chase this and I go on a social media holiday

Decent performance by Leeds yesterday, incidentally.

Yeah. I’ve switched over.

One of the most exciting, young test teams I’ve ever seen about to play England and all they can talk about on Sky Sports is the ashes. Ridiculous.

Never confident about sport. But you’re right. May India win 😉

Not today sadly.

Sunder My view India win but England will threaten to reach target - @anandmenon.bsky.social are you in the Oval

These are the top replies, being financially rewarded for posting this stuff, and the explanation offered by the site’s own AI for why it’s like that.

Anyway just flicking through the Sunday newspapers reading about some minor content infractions that Ofcom might look into at the BBC/Channel 4.

After three weeks of a heat pump replacing an old gas boiler, our house has used 34% less KWh of energy, emitted 40-50% less CO2 and energy costs have fallen by 25%.

What a series

Nothing better than

Are they drunk?

Never

Got em where we want em I reckon. HUGE third innings score incoming.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Me too actually.

Not at all. I’ve always thought the footy was odd and an injury risk the way they throw themselves about.

I’ve figured out a hack. I’ll put money on Gill losing his next toss….

Remember McGrath tripping over a ball?

Is it bad if a teeny bit of me would laugh if an England player turned their ankle playing footy?

Ripe for Reform – What’s in the EU Budget Proposal and What Should Come Next On 16 July 2025, the European Commission unveiled its proposal for the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2028-35, kicking off what promises to be a highly fraught and marathon set of nego...

Just a few weeks to go before the EU dives into what will likely be a bruising battle over its next budget.

@romyha.bsky.social, @eulaliarubio.bsky.social, @lindnerjs.bsky.social l and I took a closer look at the Commission’s proposal.

Others have noted that this means foreign-born people are LESS likely than UK-born people to be in prison. What I want to note is that The Times is now referring to foreign-born UK citizens as ‘foreigners’. This includes Boris Johnson, Sir Mo Farah, Emma Watson, Rory Stewart and little old me.

Over 11 million people were born abroad: more than 1 in 6 (ONS)

The Times is conflating "foreign-born" and "foreigners" when approx 4/10 people born abroad are British citizens now. (Oxford)

And foreign-born people in the UK are younger, so it's even more notable that rates of imprisonment are lower.
