Did I really just see an erectile dysfunction advert at 2.45pm on ITV? Or was that oddly specifically targeted. Actually don't answer that

And yeah, the Democrats basically losing all media influence because of the old fashioned assumption that everyone gets their news from like three TV news channels and truth will win out is now out of date. Republicans have bought TV channels and bought social media domination.

Maybe the Six Nations needs to introduce a quota for Ireland? Make them have a minimum amount of players from their 3 shit provinces?

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year.

Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Hot take

Gregor has gone as far as he can. We should beg, BEG Franco to become Scotland coach

Finn is brilliant, and funny and so important, but it's time to try something else. Not sure how long he'll be out for but give 10 to Jordan, see what he can do, Stafford at 12.

Welsh rugby is not known for smart #marketing.

But between 2004 and 2009 the jersey sponsor, Brains Beer, had to deal with the issue of not being allowed to advertise their products during matches in France.

The way they dealt with it was, genius. Here's a #rugbyhistory thread 🧵

If it's true that the 6Ns is going behind a paywall from next year that would be a travesty.

It's rugby's yearly showcase, people just have it on who'd never watch other rugby. Losing that would be devastating for the future of the sport.
