A pretty heartbreaking read. Whatever you might think about trans women playing elite sports. The idea that it should be applied to recreational cricket is absurd. www.wisden.com/cricket-news...

Big test of my sobriety yesterday. Staying overnight in a shitty hotel in a shitty northern town for work, alone. 23 days without drinking now.

Sure glad I made those 30 sandwiches for our cricket match today. Definitely playing cricket today lmao. 🌧️⛈️🌧️

After a particularly bad few months of drinking too frequently, drinking alone, and drinking more than I intended. I’ve decided that now is a good time to stop for good. 40yo and still drinking to excess is pretty cringe anyway. And it can’t be good for my health. Currently 9 days without a drink.

I’ve had this stuck in my head all weekend. Decided to transcribe it. @katymontgomerie.com

Not watched every ball of this test match. But England seem to be bowling rubbish right now. Is this typical of the match? #ENGvZIM

Catches down the legside, up to the stumps, off medium pace bowlers are the best kind of catches.

The ECB’s policy was already to prevent trans women from playing in the top two tiers of English cricket. This is specifically to extend this ban to all levels of recreational cricket. To be clear, this it to prevent trans women from enjoying competitive club cricket. Disgusting.

Fuck this bollocks! In the middle of the season? Presumably this will affect a handful of recreational teams/leagues trying to put on some games over the bank holiday weekend. Absolutely shameful stuff.

It’s always slightly weird when a superb caller blows the conversation out of the water, only for James to throw to the news who reads out all the talking points that have just been obliterated by the previous (very knowledgeable) caller. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Do we celebrate Ed Balls Day here?

Apparently two of the top ranked UK women players are trans women. (Ranked 1st and 6th last year). This sounds like something to be celebrated imo. Perhaps there’s some nuanced argument to be made about young boys being more likely to play pool than girls due to misogyny. But that sounds like…

What Starmer means when he says “the court’s ruling provides clarity” is “good! now I can easily answer the weird question about penises that I was getting from journalists about six months ago in a single sentence” He doesn’t care about trans people.

If you’re playing your first game of the cricket season today. Remember to wear sunscreen.

I discovered @hbomberguy.bsky.social on YouTube. Specifically his XOXO talk about his DK64 stream. Then the algorithm showed me videos by people like @contrapoints.bsky.social and @miamulder.bsky.social

By far the best journalists working in the field of transgender issues. If this was a just world, every MSM outlet would be calling Jess for their opinion today. Essential reading on today’s Supreme Court ruling.

White Lotus Season 3 was meandering nonsense. There, I said it. Season 2 was spectacular. Season 3 was rubbish.

The best cliffhanger of 2025 so far.

Hearing people make chess and/or poker analogies about Trump’s mad tariffs is so triggering to anyone who has actually played either game seriously.
