Baseball fans need to watch more cricket.

Ukrainians sticking it to the Russians 🤝 GAWA in Paris 2016.

Preach.

🔥 @ezraklein.bsky.social : “Yes I’d like a Dept of Government Efficiency— but I’d also like a government led by people with a humane vision of the future… it’s not just that (Elon/Trump/DOGE) are trying to break the government + corrupt it, it’s that their vision of the future is terrible.”

Trai Hume: Irish League to Premier League in three years.

Crawley will fail against India and Australia and so this start to the summer is good for no-one.

Horrendous, we shouldn't look away.

Has a grubbier headline ever been written?

This is so back foot, so pathetic. Never let your opponent frame you (especially when the framing is bullshit).

The no socks business attire nonsense has to end. Hopefully this is what ends it. A fashion trend meant only for skinny <22 boys from Italy and France.

Apart from some unnecessary and distracting working-class character slander, this is excellent and worth reading.
