The most wonderful thing that has occurred due to Patrick Stewart’s passing are the truly heartwarming, beautiful and laugh out loud stories that have come out about him, not just from stars but from day to day people who chanced upon him. This is one of my favourites.

β€œMUST have registered for a Nimbus Disability Access Card.” Why, @YorkBarbican? Disabled people have rights under the Equality Act 2010. Accessibility is a legal duty, not a membership scheme.

English football's finances are dangerously exposed, majority of clubs living on the edge of financial disaster. 94% of clubs are loss-making, 60%+ of EFL and National League clubs are technically insolvent. Clubs are playthings of owners, corporations. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

As always it's a pleasure to get the latest copy of @YfrontFanzine, especially with such a fine selection of #ycfc stickers. Can't stress enough how important it is to have these handmade artifacts in a world of digital and AI shit. Cherish it, support it, buy it, appreciate it.

One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.

If only someone had written a book detailing the stories of weak regulation in football - not to mention the complicity of politicians dazzled by money from overseas - all of which led us to the #MCFC debacle. Oh, wait... subscribe.bylinetimes.com/pr…

A younger Jeffrey Archer would be much more successful in politics in a post-truth age

Dear @Yorkpress @KevinGreporting you have used my post from yesterday before it was announced that this closure was as a result of a sexual assault. I am being flayed alive in the comments section which is deeply, deeply upsetting as I am myself a rape survivor.
Replying to @YorkDisability
Deeply saddened that this closure was as a result of investigation into a sexual assault. However, we have been calling for the relocation of Shopmobility since April 2022 surrounding plans for the future of Castle car park. Article makes it appear opportunistic πŸ₯Ί
