Loads of folk said Still was a talented coach and our awful results were the players' fault. Manning siad the players were not to blame. This raised a huge hostage to fortune for today's game. Looks like Manning was right. #Saintsfc

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

We've all heard the stat about how much more energy intensive an AI search is compared to a normal search engine search. But whar about using AI to generate fake HD video? This stack is truly disturbing: reclaimedsystems.substack.com/p/every-sora...
Every Sora AI video burns 1 Kilowatt hour and emits 466 grams of carbon. And for what, exactly?
The Sora 2 platform alone emits nearly a quarter of the carbon of all Meta/Facebook

The responses to this post tell you that sport is as much cultural as it is spectacle. My son and I can reminisce fondly over a 0-0 draw at Blackburn as being the worst game we ever went to because we understand the game and the context. It is cultural capital.
Reminder that there are people who walk among us who think that international football is boring.

The argument from Mahmood supporters is, “If liberals won’t enforce borders, fascists will.” On the other hand, leaving asylum seekers in perpetual limbo will stoke division, not heal. This feels feels fairly existential for the Starmer project.
