Obvs I hope for a swift recovery, but something absolutely sends me about the opening paragraph of this article accidentally implying that Grace Fisk got injured on purpose to leave Sarina short at centre-back. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Well, I can't say that this is a big surprise...

Watching the WSL Highlights for Aston Villa vs Leicester and, uh, it's not the WSL 2 (though this _is_ on the WSL given the vid description is wrong); the attacks shown were mostly Aston Villa (and the saves Leitzig)... and _the video itself_ says both teams already have "one win apiece".

If I had a pound for every time shirt pulling went unnoticed by the ref in that game I'd definitely be quids in.
E.g. I don't think this choice of pic for the write up is even deliberate in highlighting it.

... Ngl, this tidbit might be slightly more interesting if West Ham hadn't _also_ conceded three in the game before last; really, "eleven goals in three games" sounds at least as bad.
(also lol, lmao, and, man, people who backed Potter in the sack race really might be onto a winner)

Okay, so, because sponsorship stuff probably Fantasy Premier League now prompts you to generate an 'AI' 'badge' for your team [weirdly using Adobe; they also partner with Microsoft?].
My curiosity got the better of me wrt the interface for that and, um... what. #FPL

Wow, I wonder why Keir Starmer is struggling to get his MPs to trust him, what with the not-particularly-carefully tailored completely incompatible messages being sent out from No 10.

So, I've actually looked at the Immigration White Paper yesterday and, uh, like this cannot be read as anything other than pinning absolute GDP "stagnation" primarily on increased immigration and not anything else?
Like, this is dropped in there, and then it moves on and, uh, what?

![A paragraph under a heading reading "Impacts Over Recent Years". It opens with "Despite the significant increases in long-term migration over recent years, economic growth and living standards have stagnated. Since Q4 2019, overall GDP has risen by just 3.4% despite record high levels of migration..."
Under it sits a bar chart titled "G7 real GDP% Change Compared to Pre-Pandemic level". It shows the United Kingdom's growth, at 3.4% as the lowest in the G7 [aside from Germany's -0.1%]. The highest figure is the United States (12.2%), and the Eurozone's 'real' GDP has grown 4.9%,](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fncga5or3fkjhs2xpuvvbexa/bafkreigpbvdzysmukotkmdudtyqpsuydopmr7p7cbtyiohtspafy2jxl2u@jpeg)

... Ngl, I feel like the Greens would be right to take umbrage with this take from John Curtice, given, well, where things stand as of a few minutes ago (16:21-ish).

This aside is, uh, striking - for context, the Policy Exchange is one of the most right-wing think tanks (actually there's a lot of telling stuff about social ties to the Think Tank right, but this one apparently involves the actual government)
