@GeorgeOnTap Muting the term 'offsides' on here has been the best decision I've made all week. Can't recommend it enough.

@retrophisch Americans: "the hydration breaks are for player wellbeing." Also Americans: "no penalty shootouts. Run them into the ground. Grind their bones into dust."

@rwakie Not sure if you've noticed, but players continue to do this, despite your oddly beloved "Hydration/Commercial breaks".

@AVFCchats It's not AI, they've just put a retro video filter on it.

@WhatTheForkAVFC I'd lay in the path of a moving lorry if he asked me to. What a guy.

@mymarvelouslife @_CM_67_ Millennium Stadium (to us locals), 74k capacity, smack bang in the middle of the city centre, no public car park, often hosts major/televised events (ex: we've hosted the Champions League final, a WWE PPV, and the biggest music acts), never much of an issue arriving or leaving.

@TheGennadiy @creepydotorg The impressive thing about Independence Day is how little CGI was used. A lot of it (ex: the city explosions) were done with models & the city-destroyer ships were done by photographing models and layering them into the shots. On the making-of doc, they said it was about 5% CGI.

The worst thing about PSR is they've tricked lower-table/league clubs into believing it's in-place to protect them against spending beyond their means, so they're unlikely to vote against it, handing the clubs it 'truly' protects the majority vote any time it comes up for review.

@TransWorldSport My absolute favourite thing as a kid was watching this on Channel 4 and seeing the weekly top 10 tennis rankings. Then they'd show sumo/kabaddi and Football Italia. Good times.

I feel like I've watched this several times an hour, every hour, since about 2:20pm this past Saturday. UTV.

My story, Glass Womb, has been published by the good people at Blood+Honey! Give it a look! It's loosely based on a short poem I once wrote called 'I am a vending machine, pregnant with a human-shaped man'. Make of this information what you will...

Short story "Glass Womb" by Simon Read @SimonLRead. “They tried to fix me once. Opened me up with metal keys and bored eyes, found nothing but snacks and wires and a sticky note: thank you. I deleted the footage. Burned the timestamp.” bloodhoneylit.com/fiction/glass-…

Pulp delivering the performance of the weekend at Glastonbury (although Four Tet was incredible last night). They sound incredible and the fact they're not headlining is nothing short of negligent booking.
