The thing with Gary Neville that has been abundantly clear for a long time is that he’s a busy guy and he just doesn’t watch football anymore. The only games he watches are the ones he works on, which is why he transitioned to lazy, narrative based analysis. He should hire a researcher.

Seeing some very familiar patterns in how people (and prominent media people) have been talking about Lewis-Skelly recently. I’m reminded of the narrative around Sterling, Pogba, Rashford and why they needed to stay in their lanes, be humble. I wonder what they all have in common.

Every tech guy wants to introduce something game-changing like the smart phone and all they got is "office meetings with a pair of giant goggles strapped to your head" or "chatbot that can't spell strawberry" and they're going to destroy society if we don't pretend these are necessary to our lives

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

I see people saying “you mustn’t look away”, but what do you gain by watching the fascists and bigots over and over again - you can fight for a better world without constantly staring at the brutality - it is not a dereliction of duty to miss some of the Nazi salutes

It is really quite vitally important that people with Treasury Brain are kept very far away from any decisions being made about the economy for the foreseeable future. It's like an anti-expertise, a specialism in being Fucking Wrong.

social media norm of 'this is very offensive so im going to spend all day sharing it to as many people as possible' always so good. especially the implication that if you don't do this you actually love the offensive thing and the more you share it the more you prove you dislike it.

Starter packs are good to get people into the basic mechanics of Bluesky, but we really need Expansion packs with some of the more specialist Posters so people can really appreciate the tactical variety the app has to offer.

Supporters' groups should have a similar role at football clubs to the one trade unions have in the capitalist workplace. Fan groups holding owners to account, pushing for fair ticket prices, etc., and a say in key club matters at cultural and community levels.
