Funny how this is what Wales can achieve when we’re not being absolutely run into the ground by Gatland, mind. Sherrat's coaching and the confidence he's given us the biggest factor obviously but still. #walvire

What do we reckon, the concussion completely fucked Finn kicking all those conversions? Can't think of one he didn't miss. Didn't think he should have been near the pitch and this really confirms it. Wasn't playing like he does when properly right. #engvsco

Duhan wakes up for the Calcutta like Bublé wakes up for Christmas

Neither of Ellis Mee’s brothers were born when either of those jerseys were worn and I respect the hell out of it.

Nah, we gotta stop this Bakole jetlag bollocks. Britain to Saudi ain’t exactly intergalactic travel, mun. If he gets battered, it won’t be because of the time difference. Pick a new explanation.

Just got made a Top Fan of my local bakery. This is my Ballon d’Or.

The VAST majority of UFC fighters eligible to receive class action settlement have pre registered to claim their money. Encouraging. About 20% have yet to do so. If you're one of them you should do so. You will want the claims administrator to know how to contact you!

This is an Aspirateur de Dieulafoy. It is a suction pump used to remove fluid from the pleura. It was designed by French physician and surgeon Paul Georges Dieulafoy (1839 –1911). You may have heard of Dieulafoy's lesion, a rare cause of gastric bleeding.

JUST IN: HNL Lab Medicine will begin subtyping all positive influenza A samples from hospitalized patients to detect H5N1 bird flu.

100% this. The irrefutable evidence comes from long Covid kids in the UK. Even cev children who shielded did not get the vaccine until 20 months in the UK. Children were dying from COVID in unmitigated schools and getting long covid a long time before that. Long Covid comes from SARS2 infections.

Feyi-Waboso set to miss the rest of the season (and maybe the Lions tour) after re-injuring his shoulder in England camp. Exeter (who had wanted him to have surgery earlier) are apparently furious. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Luis Rubiales has been found guilty of sexually assaulting Jenni Hermoso by kissing her on the lips after Spain’s women’s team won the World Cup. He has been fined €10,000+. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

The answer to #WordOnWednesday this week is trepanning.

Didn't take him long to slink back round the corner, did it?

Nah but why is pre-made gravy never been a thing? Don't know anyone who wants to whisk for their life if they don't want their meal to be as dry as their Nan's vagina.

The first hollow hypodermic needle was invented by Alexander Wood in 1853. It allowed drugs to be injected in the body under the skin. Accompanied by different length needles, this example is made from silver with a glass barrel. It works by turning the screw at the top to inject the liquid.

Nearly 2 months after an Israeli airstrike left footballer Celine Haidar in a coma, she was able to register her family’s voices, squeeze their hands, write the names of her nurses. More help is needed, but her family are elated. Story on @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/604...

brb gonna spend all my money on yet more football shirts

Is premenstrual syndrome (PMS) a uniquely human phenomenon? Possibly not! Let's take a look at a 2018 study by Nadia Bellofiore and colleagues, who found evidence of PMS symptoms in spiny mice, the only rodent known to menstruate...

Darcy Graham will have to meet a series of stringent criteria to be passed fit to play England, but even so, as with Tom Curry last November, this feels like an opportunity to make a significant statement about what really matters [via Mark Palmer]. www.thetimes.com/sport/rugby-...

Game's gone etc etc

Is it a Warnock Sky special if he don't rip into the refs? Actual national treasure, aye.

The entitlement borne of COVID is the real disease. Noise complaints, curtain twitching and the rise of fascism. Society couldn't handle being told to stay inside, so now everyone thinks it's their job to interfere like rent-a-cops with no consequences. The pandemic unleashed the worst impulses.

Newcastle United's owner continues to have women jailed and disappeared for daring to call for basic human and civil rights. Meanwhile, English football pretends he's just a club owner like any other. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

COVID-19 & DNA Damage 🧬 New research shows COVID-19 can damage DNA, especially in severe cases. The virus may weaken DNA repair, increasing long-term health risks. Scientists stress the importance of monitoring post-COVID health. #LongCovid #COVID19Research

We'll miss you forever champ. 💙

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Next time someone tells you Covid is just the flu, remember the flu has killed ~16K people in the U.S. alone this season. Including kids 💔

A year ago, UK indie bookshops held events to raise money for the PEN Emergency Fund to support writers at risk who are in and from Palestine. #Valentines4Palestine Thanks to your help, we raised over £15k – but we still need your support. Donate here ⤵️ www.gofundme.com/f/valentines...

Nah, man, COVID really fucked it. Left all the worst people alive, thriving, and more insufferable than ever before.

I've been writing about the Catholic laundries and homes in Wales. The most notable being Nazareth House in Cardiff. It is absolutely horrendous what these women and children were put through.

Thoughts and prayers to all unemployed people who have fuck all to do now there's not a snooker tournament this week for the first time in maybe forever.

Samuel Thomas von Sömmerring (German physician and anatomist) used this illustration to argue that corseting lead to tuberculosis, cancer and curvature of the spine. He advocated instead the wearing of pantaloons and other loose clothing

Sounds like he’s volunteering? I’m sure that’s what he means right? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Downstairs neighbour made a noise complaint because she could faintly hear the DAZN card at 8:45PM on a Saturday. Would be annoyed, but with Barry Jones on comms in full Cardiff mode, who can blame her, really?

Guaranteed bottom now I think for us? Absolutely deserved by Dragons as well.

Just heard about a fan dying at a Hearts game, and it hit me, is the stress and excitement of sport, combined with increased illness and post-COVID complications, why we’re seeing so many medical incidents and deaths at games now? Feels like it’s happening way more often.

Get it done, Abi, mate.

Jockeys dying from injuries when they murder horses for exactly the same thing is really funny actually.

This is absolutely despicable. It's already almost impossible for men and boys subject to sexual violence to get support and this will make things even worse. All for saving less money than their ministers claim in expenses. Labour really are scum.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth
