Let’s hope the French and Germans put more effort into this game than their singing - FIFA take that microphone away from the players’ faces, I wanna watch ‘em play footie, not sing

Pundits on DAZN creaming over Messi’s free kick - yeah it was quality but they’re acting like it’s an iconic moment in world football. It was nothing compared to Zidane’s head butt in the World Cup final 💥

West Ham need to get active and proactive in the transfer market asap

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Watching the FIFA Club World Cup - what’s with this bollocks? Players coming out individually? It’s a team game, mate!

One reason (among many) that I love Apple products is their focus on aesthetics and text layouts, but this new homepage time stretch design just looks really weird and ugly and I bet Jony Ive choked on his espresso when he saw it

Only if your cycle fits and it isn't filled up. 12 minute frequency, space for 8 standard cycles - just 40 cycles per hour in each direction. Time to reimaging Rotherhithe. cityinfinity.co.uk/2024/08/05/r...

Elon Musk’s approach to building the Starship rocket

When Gary Lineker replaced Des Lynam on Match of the Day I thought he was gonna be rubbish but he proved me wrong… he was brilliant… thanks for what you did Gaz; and good luck to the new presenters

The Europa League final reminds me of those boring UEFA Cup finals on telly when I was a kid between two rubbish continental teams I’d never heard of

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Say what you want about Bill Gates, but at least the geezer is funding healthcare for poor people rather than spaceships to Mars.

Watching Inter vs Barca and thinking “chuck out that twat with the megaphone”, then “wait, give one to Guvna B, he’ll get the West Ham fans bouncing at the London Stadium” ⚒️

I left twitter even though I had over 250,000 followers who cared about the NHS, because it was no longer an effective place to speak to people. If there’s anyone out there who cares about the NHS-give me a follow. If the local election results have told us anything, we need to get organised!💥

Another example of how the properly segregated bicycle paths in Milton Keynes make sense for motorists and cyclists, and enhance quality of life

Milton Keynes, England. The network of segregated “redways” that connect the entire city make it the perfect city for travelling by bike

A sentence which, if it were written 50 years ago, would seem complete gobbledegook

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

Finally! The landlords of these shops know exactly what the people renting their shops are doing. The rent for a small shop in a crappy part of town where I live is about £800/month - only criminals can afford this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Seems apt, given that America is also screwing the entire world

White Monday seems like a more appropriate name, honestly.

Hegseth: Hold my (several) beers

Me and countless other authors today…😂

I know I post a lot of Cornish sunsets, and I hope it isn’t boring. I do it in the hope it offers people a moment of calm. I took this a few summers ago in Carbis Bay. Pause for a moment and drift away on the warm breeze. May it soothe you from any anxiety. Rest well, my friends. 😊 #nature #peace

Elon Musk doesn’t want to go to Mars for the good of mankind. He wants to go to Mars to mine minerals because earth’s finite resources are dwindling and billionaires need a new way to make money

A very Happy 15th of March to one and all.
