Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 151 Premier League games when leading at half-time (W138 D13) #MCILIV

Salah has now both scored and assisted a goal in 11 (!) different Premier League games this season. The previous competition record was seven... 🤯 #MCILIV

Brilliant show. #Backtothefuture #bttfmusical #bttf

The fraction 748 / 238 approximates pi. Here's a small Python program that calculates ever more accurate fractions: n = 1 d = 1 while True: if n / d < 3.141592653589793: n = n + 1 else: d = d + 1 print(n, d, n / d)

Putin says Trump must go further before he’ll even agree to meet. Putin is entirely in the driving seat. The US has alienated its own allies, given Russia nearly all of what it wanted, bought Putin’s warped view of reality, and can’t even guarantee a meeting. The art of the deal, indeed.

That got me half way to London. #tetris #tetrisdx #hiscore #gameboy #switch #nintendo

This is pretty shocking. Make sure you look in the lower right hand corner.

This is a genocidal war crime endorsed by the president of the United States

Reminder - there is a once in a generation opportunity to recruit the best US brains fleeing Trump

Your regular reminder that the revenue of the entire UK fishing industry is half a billion pounds less than the University of Manchester

It occurred to me this morning that the 2026 Canada/US/Mexico World Cup is gonna be a shitshow

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Salah needs 66 points in his remaining 15 games (4.4 pts per match) to break the all-time FPL points record. He's averaging 10.2 pts per match this season. 🤯

Was just disinvited by @bbc5live.bsky.social to a discussion of Brexit 5 years on- on the entirely reasonable/correct grounds that I know what I am talking about and would give an expert, objective view. What they actually wanted was a "hard Remainer" (to balance a know-nothing Brexiteer). FFS.

Really interesting piece by Cody Gakpo on joining Liverpool. www.theplayerstribune.com/cody-gakpo-p... What really shines through for me is getting the right person in. There are no trophies for "winning a transfer window." #LFC #YNWA

DAMN Sasha that was FAST!

NEW How Harry and Watson forced News Group Newspapers to admit wrongdoing Why the circumstances show it was NGN wanting to avoid a public trial—and not the costs risk on the claimants—that brought this case to its end By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Show me someone pretending that Prince Harry hasn't kicked Rupert Murdoch's arse from here to eternity & I'll show you a Murdoch lackey/Trump apologist/bare-faced liar. Some people may even fit all three categories!

Great point here. Trump is creating a hostile environment for talent that leans liberal. We can't pay as well, but there are not school shootings and we aren't being run by anti science fascists.

The “growth plan” for Brexit was that it would “unleash” UK from the “shackles” of EU. And therein is the clue why there has been no growth. The plan was no more substantial than vivid words deployed in some newspaper column or political speech. Flimsy boosterish rhetoric, and nothing more.

At some point people will look back at the rates available in the 2010s and be utterly bemused that we didn’t take the chance to hugely upgrade our national infrastructure. on.ft.com/4fNdIQN

It’s new year. You want to change something. I’ve got something: turn off all phone notifications that aren’t messages to you personally (texts, emails etc). You don’t need your phone to beep if someone interacts with a post or follows you or if a news outlet writes a headline. You won’t miss them.

This is officially the worst run of results in Man City's 14 year history. #AVLMCI #MCFC

One of the questions in that survey about AI and copyright begins "What steps can the government take to encourage AI developers to train their models in the UK?" Yes, the government is so stupid as to think "where training happens" delivers meaningful economic benefit.
