Really great piece on the state of Sheffield Wednesday and the lack of response from the governing body
This morning, a long-ish read on Sheffield Wednesday. Feels like no-one's... doing anything about a situation that is getting much worse on a near daily basis.

Sheffield Wednesday are decaying, and no-one is doing a thing to prevent it
They're supposed to be celebrating their 160th anniversary, but instead a club from the home of football is on the brink and the silence is deafening.

Ugh it's the shepherd boy
![1. [SCENE: Medieval village next to a hill with sheep grazing on it. From somewhere in the village comes a sound effect:]
DING
2. [We now see a MEDIEVAL PERSON looking at a smartphone. He is talking to ANOTHER MEDIEVAL PERSON]
MEDIEVAL GUY: Ugh
[Phone sounds again] DING
3
MEDIEVAL GUY:
It’s that shepherd boy again
4
MEDIEVAL GUY:
He’s started a WhatsApp group for wolf attacks
5
MEDIEVAL GUY:
Everybody in the village has joined it to be polite
But he’s got all needy and started oversharing
6 [Show the guy’s phone. It displays a WhatsApp group called 'Sheep Chat!!!’, with a photo posted by the Shepherd boy of him taking a selfie with a sheep. Caption reads “HEY GUYS THE SHEEP SAY HI!!!!”]
7
MEDIEVAL GUY:
I really want to leave the group bit it’d look too rude
It’s like his only entertainment up there
8
ANOTHER MEDIEVAL PERSON:
Mute him then
[Phone goes DING again]
9
MEDIEVAL GUY:
But what if a wolf comes along and eats him and his flock in some kind of narratively satisfying bloodbath?
10 [He pauses. Phone goes DING once more.]
11 [PHONE GOES CRAZY]
DING DING DING
[He looks at it and just presses MUTE]

MEDIEVAL GUY:
Ahem.

In a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from the JCPOA would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation 🧐

It drives me nuts. The Telegraph, Mail, Sun etc and the politicians they sponsor like Johnson, Farage, Cameron & Truss got everything they wanted for fourteen of the last fifteen years & only now, with Labour in power for *less than one*, do they acknowledge the damage they have done. It’s sick.

I wondered for a while why Trump was so excited by Brexit, even to the point of getting Farage to fluff him. It was simple, really: proof that, with the support of enough bent media, bad people selling bigotry & lies really could persuade people to vote to punch themselves in the face forever.

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
