I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

If Vardy's leaving Leicester it's surely nailed on that he turns up in Wrexham next season. #WelcometoWrexham just got another cast member (most likely two).

Watched the derby yesterday with the my kids, one supports United โ€” the other City. It was 0-0 but certainly not the worst game of football I've ever seen. Pundits and journalists have gone *way* over the top (especially Neville, sadly) with their almost dystopian analysis of this one. Why?

Awesome to hear this coming from a triple-A dev; and a nod to the creativity that smaller projects (and studios) bring to the whole industry.

Finally watched #Kneecap on the flight back from #GDC25. Realised I used to pitch entertainment stories to Rich Peppiatt. Brilliant movie, not to mention inspirational transition from tabloid journo to film director.

Their music's not bad either.

I doubt it, I think he's probably more concerned with how the team, overall, are struggling to adapt to his instructions. And how in turn, that seems to be affecting the confidence of key players (some of who are still quite young).

He seems a good, non-reactionary, sort โ€” he'll work it out.

Man City ready to axe five stars as Guardiola moves into 'Pep 5.0' JACK GAUGHAN: How many of City's players have now walked out on the continent in City shirts for the last time? History says a few at least.

How can a football journalist write a piece like this about #MCFC without any consideration for the impact โ€” now and in the future โ€” of impending fines and potential disqualification from leagues and tournaments. Baffling. www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba...

This type of siege mentality only succeeds with people resolved to effect positive change. That hardly describes the feckless, feeble-minded 'fear everything' folk following Trump and Musk into oblivion.

These tariffs will affect comfort levels to an intolerable degree for many of them.

Amorim was always going to be 'a man in a hurry' โ€” he didn't have time for Rashford's intransigence. Sad to see an academy product leave but reassuring to know we have a manager who doesn't suffer fools. #MUFC

An old picture, taken from an interview he did on SpaceX. There are enough legitimate concerns about Elon Musk.

Ah, I recall two of those being Super Nintendo launch titles; and therefore among the only 4-5 games I had to play for about a year! Fortunately both were ace.

Bispham: Abusive man cleared of partner's manslaughter Ryan Wellings has been found guilty of assault and coercive and controlling behaviour after a trial.

Yet another example of an abhorrent abuser not being punished effectively by the law. No wonder women, increasingly, refuse to trust the police and the courts to protect them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Chelsea leading the chase for Kobbie Mainoo if he leaves Man United EXCLUSIVE: United have reached a stalemate in contract talks with Mainoo's representatives, alerting Europe's top clubs to the fact he could be sold this month or at the end of the season.

Chelsea, a club who can't afford the midfield they've bought (Fernandez, Caicedo, Lavia, etc) want to sign Mainoo so WE can avoid PSR issues?! You have to hope this is nonsense.

It all started with Reagan many years ago. When he deregulated the media, he gave the purveyors of lies, conspiracies, and misinformation the freedom to do and say whatever they wanted.

We're in the darkest days of the year, but that means it's a great time to invite vampires into your home!

Every single one of them had more decency and integrity than this privileged plutocrat

Loving that we have control, possession-wise at least. The system looks like it will improve once players have fully synced up with it. We need confidence too, which will take a good run of results โ€” and, of course, time.
