@theathletic.bsky.social Repeating this to catch you on a Monday rather than over the weekend. Thanks. Ben.

@theathletic.bsky.social Hi. Love your sports trivia Quiz. Have you just launched or has it been going a while? Anyway, the app seems to be a little buggy. After I answer a question it won't let me move on to the next one. Video demo attached. Thanks.

Spotify needs to give its algorithm a wobble. It just tried to pass Don't Go Breaking My Heart, One Way or Another and Fernando off as 70s disco (don't judge me).

This week saw some of the world's biggest pop stars celebrate the year in music, Donald Trump slap tariffs on China and one English pub landlady make a very expensive promise. Happy Friday. It's the BBC News Quiz of the Week. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Aww. Who doesn't love a photo of a newborn asleep in its mother's arms? That's not a question in this week's quiz, because it's rhetorical. Anyway, here you are. This week also features lunar new year and macroeconomics, if babies aren't your thing. Happy Friday. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Love the Prince Charles. Have had some very special times there. It mustn't be allowed to go.

"Hi. I'm actress and singer Selena Gomez. When I'm not starring in groundbreaking films or palling about with old comedians, there's nothing I like more than to relax with the BBC News Weekly Quiz." Also features DJ Trump, David Lynch and charred Romans. Happy Friday. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy Friday. It's BBC News quiz day. Take a moment to wrangle with the goings on of the past seven days while you enjoy a brew, like the lady in the stock picture below. Also features rockets, Liverpool legends and scantily-clad Hindus. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ah, awards season. That time of year when quiz setters can be sure they have one less question to worry about each week. Congratulations to all the nominees. But stop pretending The Bear is a comedy. Happy Friday. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Gosh. Is it really a week since the last quiz? No. No, it isn't. After a quick breather for a swig of prosecco, a moan about how Hootenanny isn't as good as it used to be and a hungover weep during Mary Poppins (don't judge me) it's time to buckle in for 2025. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
