@rossmacleodputt He had one great year in 2022 that's it. Nothing more and nothing less. The real mystery is what has happened to Justin Thomassince he went to LIV, still no top 10 in a major since, maybe he soldout when he took the easier cash on the PGA Tour?

If LIV did fold it would be great to see Cam Smith playing great again. I feel like nobody’s golf has suffered more by going to LIV. The easy/lazy answer is he cashed out but none of us know his practice regime, etc. Maybe it just didn’t suit him? Didn’t fire him up to play great golf? He got to world no2, won the Open and Players in 2022. He was a really gutsy player under pressure. Plus his putting was 🔥 I hope to see him back at the top.

@KVanValkenburg Is he the only player that's gone backwards in the last 4 years? Your career is going the same way Kevin besides the real story is PIF are going to own CBS soon, will the usual suspects resign if not why not?

I'm not sad for Cam, dummy. I'm sad for all of us who love great golf and wanted to see him battle for majors for years. Cam was great. He is very much not now.

@AdamSchupak Bit silly suggesting multimillionaires should take opportunities from guys trying to make a living. They should be required to play some DPWT events to make up for the damage they've caused to our Tour.

I don’t know why, but this has really affected me. I’ve been desensitised to the horrors that have taken place in this country for some time, but there’s something about this that really cuts through that. The picture of Finbar with his parents, clearly having a good time, is a big part of it. The idea that such a lovely son could have his life cut brutally short, and in doing so completely ruin his parents’ lives in their twilight years, is hard to process. They will never see him get married, never experience the pride of becoming grandparents through him, and never sit there in old age reminiscing about his childhood and the small moments that made it what it was. It’s just so utterly blackpilling to see something like this happen.
Grifty@TheGriftReport

Aspiring filmmaker Finbar Sullivan, 21, was stabbed to death in broad daylight on Primrose Hill while filming with his brand new camera. His musician father Christopher is in total agony. He said the family is devastated beyond words after their son was attacked on a sunny Easter bank holiday surrounded by families enjoying the London sunshine. A second man in his 20s was also stabbed in the frenzied attack and rushed to hospital. (his friend who rushed into help his friend) The horror unfolded at one of the capital’s most popular viewpoints next to Regent’s Park at around 6:40pm. Police have launched a murder investigation but no arrests have been made so far.

@charlesmurray Lol, we have timed evidence in many events in many sports that prove the standard is much higher now than in the old days, not to mention a much bigger global talent pool.

"He plays a game with which I am not familiar." Bobby Jones on the young Jack Nicklaus. I keep wishing that the Masters would require players to use clubs and balls from 1970, so we could see how today's players score. They'd do fine, but when we put video of their shots at Augusta alongside video of the shots that Nicklaus, Trevino, Palmer, and Watson made, it would quiet some of the confident chatter that today's best are qualitatively better than 1970s best. And if you think that Tiger from 1999–2005 would have consistently beaten Jack from 1962-68, I'd take your bet.
Ian Ellis Golf Professional@necky_fade

1973 Masters Jack Nicklaus with a thunderous swing on the 13th tee. Apparently they’re better players nowadays and better athletes than they used to be, what a load of BS!

My parents lived through the extreme depression poverty of the 1930s, a major world war, the Blitz, several epidemics, post-war need and want, not able to own their own house until their mid-30s - and my Mum at 95 isn't whining and whingeing like a loser. The 'boomers' that you berate lived with 15 - 17 per cent interest rates, Spanish flu, three day weeks, the 1973 oil shock, frequent power shortages, dreadful public transport, endless strikes, high taxes and the bloody Osmonds.

Why do people hate the elderly so much? So tired of listening to the left and some on the right, demonising pensioners for daring to draw a pension, mainly after 40-50 years of hard graft and tax paying. The same people don't want to discuss or demonise in the same way the 1 million 18-24 year olds not working/paying tax and only taking from the state. Or the ballooning benefits bill for those who decide that their ailment means that they can just take from the state regardless of contribution. Benefits should be an acute lifeline or safety net for the very small percentage of us who cannot work or need help to get back to work; not a lifetime activity for those who could but don't work. Leave the elderly alone; £12,500 a year is hardly a bounty and they earned it.

A big problem with Project Hail Mary: the science and engineering is so dumbed-down that it's borderline comical. Problems get solved almost magically, with no process or iteration. He meets alien life, shows it a clock, and five minutes later is having conversations. (His laptop magically translated the language, I guess.) Grace is charming (unbelievably so) but isn't shown as a good scientist. He's shown as a fantastically-lucky scientist. The Big Bang Theory had a similar problem, pretending to be a show for smart, techy people but mostly just winking at it. In other words it's pop science when the world desperately needs hard engineering to be celebrated. Still a good movie, but not nearly the classic it could and should have been.

There are a lot of unwritten rules in British society, and, on streets built hundreds and hundreds of years ago, where parking is limited, its courtesy to respect ALL the neighbours and try and be considerate. Part of that, is ensuring residents can park outside their own home. We have it on our road. Everyone, is just courteous to the other neighbours. These houses were built for families, not large groups of lone adults, each with a car. The students should be more respectful to the other residents. No, they're not breaking the law, but they are breaking the social contract with their neighbours.

This woman and her daughter come and knock on the door of this college house where the students get a parking spot in the driveway and the other two roommates park in the street. The woman is an asthmatic and claims that she always parks in a certain spot and that everyone else is aware and respects it. She tells them to move the car and not to park there anymore. The student refutes it and says it’s public street parking and she has no right to claim it. Why is this woman arguing with them when she can call the city and ask to designate a handicap spot for her, is she being out of line?

Lord, this is pathetic. Nick Timothy earns the approbation of Tommy Robinson for, in effect, calling for the banning of one particular religion from public prayer, and this excuse for a free speech defender attacks those disagreeing with him
The Spectator@spectator

Would you rather live in a society where a man is free to criticise religious practices or one where such a man might be dragged to the public square to be damned and shamed as a blasphemer? For me it’s a no-brainer. It’s the former. I want the freedom to object, as scurrilously as I like, to every pious ritual and godly doctrine. We used to call it ‘freedom of thought’, and our ancestors gave their lives to gift us that most cherished of liberties. ✍️ Brendan O’Neill Article | spectator.com/article/nick-t…

I will not be silenced. Labour are only demonstrating that they cannot see right from wrong. They will not stand up for our way of life. But we will.
Nick Timothy MP@NJ_Timothy

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

𝗟𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗬 𝗞𝗨𝗗𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗦𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗕𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 Keir Starmer says his refusal to join the Iran offensive is a matter of "principles shared by the British people." Emanuel Macron says American strikes are "plunging the entire region into chaos." Larry Kudlow's response: does anyone care? Nothing burger economies. Nothing burger trade policies. Nothing burger militaries. The leaders of two countries that have spent eighty years sheltering under American security guarantees — while spending decades lecturing America about how to use military power — now have opinions about Operation Epic Fury. Starmer leads an economy that can't grow, a military that can barely field a functional navy, and a country that just watched Iranian-linked antisemitic terrorism spread across its own cities. His "principles" didn't stop the Rotterdam synagogue bombing. They didn't stop the wave of Jew-hatred his open border policies imported. But they're apparently sufficient to pass judgment on the United States eliminating the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. Macron declared France would "never" help secure the Strait of Hormuz — the waterway that powers his own economy — and is now complaining about chaos. The chaos he's worried about is the chaos of a world where America stops doing everything while Europe does nothing. Rutte is working the phones. That's the correct response. The rest of them can keep issuing statements into the void. Kudlow is right. Nothing burgers, all of them.

This is a form cultural dominance. For purely religious purposes mass prayers in public spaces are entirely unnecessary. Such prayers in locations that are icons of British culture and history are hostile. When I was a United Nations District Administrator/Governor in Kosovo, we and NATO termed this sort of dominating activity “cultural displacement” and “passive ethnic cleansing” because those are its purpose. This is not a passive religious practice, it is a culturally aggressive strategy of domination. Such gatherings are not permitted in Saudi Arabia or UAE and should not be permitted here either. The secularism of public spaces must be enforced. x.com/NJ_Timothy/sta…

Aside from the fact that Parasite also won an Oscar several years ago There's actually an ENTIRE Korean film industry out there featuring basically nothing but Koreans Why is it that other groups can have their own homogenous media, but western media has to represent everyone?

The creator of #KPopDemonHunters, Maggie Kang, dedicates her #Oscar “to Koreans everywhere”: “I am so sorry that it took so long to see us in a movie like this, but it is here. And that means that the next generations don’t have to go longing.” (via ABC/AMPAS) variety.com/2026/film/news…

Christian children should definitely be able to reproduce and view images of Jesus Christ. Furthermore, all children, if religious studies is to be a lesson, ought to be able to see and view images of the Prophet Mohammed during said lesson. Proscriptions on either of the afore going are un-British and have no place here. Perhaps we could offer Muslim parents the opportunity for their children to be excused from these lessons, as used to be the case with sex education. Those who feel so upset that they might threaten the teachers involved must be prosecuted (with zero tolerance, given how weakness in such instances only encourages more to do likewise, heightening the danger for everybody) and imprisoned. Those who feel particularly upset by views might consider re-locating to any of the many countries that adhere to Islamic law. I certainly would not live in a country whose very culture was offensive to me. I think this is fair and reasonable.
Tom Holland@holland_tom

“Respect for religious traditions should not undermine the requirement for all pupils to have a broad & balanced curriculum.” “[Students should not] reproduce images of Jesus, Prophet Mohammed or other figures considered to be prophets in Islam.” 🤔 new.calderdale.gov.uk/sites/default/…
