Paramount, which already owns Champions League rights through CBS in US, has won the contract to broadcast it in England from 2027-31, taking it away from TNT. Will be streamed on Paramount+. Chance that they can merge US/UK output. Amazon likely keeps first pick Tuesday.

It’s not quite the right fit for this question but “open source fae” reminded me of my recent spurt of curmudgeonly joy in revisiting the work of the aptly named Steve Roud and his work “The English Year” about English folk traditions.

🎵The Vengabus is coming,
And we are very cunning,
We're driving really close by,
So we can steal its WiFi,
I want to watch my TikToks,
And old Lovejoys on Britbox,
We're using all our gumption,
And saving fuel consumption🎵

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no.

If someone shares a load of sensitive business information loudly in a train simply note it down and email it to their boss
Yeah ok, but that one guy on the train with me was IN A BUSINESS MEETING the other day. Why TF am I having to circle back to something right now???? Leave me alone.
Man you guys gotta be more normal about the one guy on your train not wearing headphones, it's annoying but it's not, like, a decay of society level issue.
