Enjoying the nostalgia of #totp 1996 but also thinking that the logo of the time was a rare bit of nineties timelessness. They should’ve kept it!

The moment he takes his jacket off is genuinely chilling

Hi, sorry to call at such short notice but our sketch artist has fallen ill, was wondering if you could step in, it says on your profile that you do sketch work... Well I normally only draw Giraffes but I guess how hard can it be, sure I'll do it.

The host broadcaster in Croatia cutting to devastated kids in the crowd every time something goes against them is a brilliant editorial decision in all fairness

This is one of the bleakest things I’ve ever read. The idea that music is a problem that needed ‘solving’. Imagine if you were 18 and AI decided what music you liked and just served you stuff it had cooked up for the rest of your life
I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago. Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

Yeah, so he never blinks during the entire 3 minute video
🚨 | BREAKING: #ManCity CEO Ferran Soriano has addressed staff over the guilty verdicts, insisting the club will fight through every available legal avenue: “The whole Premier League case against us is based on a single false accusation.”

Media outlets have got to stop dressing up pundit opinions as news exclusives. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what James Collins has said about Bellamy here, but it’s a ridiculous way to package it.

Guehi and O’Reilly are preparing for Man City’s relegation by playing like lower league players already here

Well that checks out
Raise the price of petrol and diesel, @MansourBinZayed. Let’s see what decision they come to after that.

Is this Jim Ratcliffe / Laura Kuenssberg park bench meeting in the same cinematic universe as Nigel Farage punching someone in the face on Newsnight? Wouldn’t want to miss out if these crypto scammers are creating a full storyline out of this

The Met are clearly worried about West Ham and Millwall having a Pirates of the Caribbean style sword fight on the Cutty Sark
As with any fixture, the Sporting Events Act 1985 is in place, which means entering or attempting to enter a ground while intoxicated is strictly prohibited. A Section 35 dispersal order will also be in place, allowing officers to remove anyone causing disorder. It will cover this area.

Ed Sheeran’s “I’m not complicit” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the shirt
Ed Sheeran speaks out after Macklemore was dropped from his tour for speaking out for Palestine: “I am not complicit. I have my personal views on this devastating conflict. Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care. Nor does it mean I don't support causes in my own, personal way.”

It is with deep and profound sadness that West Ham United announces the passing of legendary former goalkeeper and coach, Luděk Mikloško. Rest in peace Luděk, our beloved, inspirational goalkeeper and gentle giant of a man.
