If the Bears go on to win, that’s one of those that’s going to end up with a name like The Throw In The Snow

I definitely made far too loud a noise at that Chicago Bears TD (it’s 2.40am here), but I couldn’t help it. That was some Disney movie stuff.

Strong ‘did my own research’ vibes.
Rams players are putting cayenne pepper in their socks to stay warm against the Bears, according to NBC’s Melissa Stark 🤯

Would still like to see refs flagging facemasking even if the play results in a touchdown. Twisting someone’s neck like that is a big safety issue, not just an ‘unfair hindrance’ issue.

Feels like history will write up the last decade in the 49ers history as ‘The team enjoyed some success and multiple visits to the playoffs, despite the later discovery that a disgruntled wizard had placed an injury hex on the franchise.’

Loved Jason Bell getting distracted during the half-time analysis by footage of a frisbee-catching dog. Can’t blame him.

Shame that every single football club in Scotland seems to have developed its own fan group of Stupid Wee Wanks. Bunch of pubeless wonders on the pitch after Camelon Juniors v Elgin City, of all games.

I might want to go to the US one day (but not soon), so all I’ll say is that it would be great if Trump didn’t get to serve his full term.

Convinced I got ill from the guy in the medical clinic waiting room yesterday who sat right next to me and started coughing, when there were at least 10 seats with space either side he could have picked. I hope his bum falls off.

Not sure Eurovision needed more poor PR, but the EBU legally tying some of this year’s acts into a summer tour, which doesn’t really touch the east of the continent, feels like a double foul-up. And I’m confidently predicting that the tickets won’t be a tenner each.

It’s not as if I needed proof myself that Toby Young and the Free Speech Union is a grift being funded by right-wing think tanks and cartels, which they’re ironically desperate to suppress, but it’s good that proper journalism’s being done to document it.
🔴 Last week the Free Speech Union got a High Court writ to prevent the publication of a list of its donors
So we decided to investigate who *does* fund Toby Young's outfit

Who funds the Free Speech Union?
Toby Young’s outfit went to court to hide its donors. Today we reveal that funders include US anti-abortion groups, Brexit politicians and Tufton Street insiders.

I see that Wes Streeting, the Minister For Shit Stirring, has been sent out on the media rounds this morning. Was happy enough to defend Peter Mandelson, until he couldn’t.

If police lied to parliament, that's bad. But the fact that defending Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is the sole thing that Shabana Mahmood and this spineless government have really dug its heels in on is also bad. None of them should get a free football junket in future, because they know nothing about it.

Finding out about Scott Adams' death through the White House's tone-deaf AI tribute is the first time I've laughed at Dilbert in ages.
This somehow isn't an AI hallucination: "His ex-wife Shelly Miles announced his death on Tuesday during a live stream of his podcast, Real Coffee with Scott Adams."
