"I'm so disappointed this got out again. It doesn't help us" 🗣️
Craig Bellamy speaks on his disappointment after Wales' attempt to persuade defender Ashley Phillips to switch international allegiance was leaked.
@unherd@Docstockk I don’t buy it.
I feel a tiny number of people take these chaps seriously. I’d never heard of Andrew Tate until the BBC and MSM started reporting on his legal issues - my age and sex would have been his target audience and use social media.
HOW LOUIS THEROUX OUTMANNED THE MANOSPHERE, by Kathleen Stock (@DocStockk)
For people who talk endlessly about escaping ‘the matrix’ — meaning the 9-5 grind, labouring away fruitlessly for the benefit of shadowy elites — manosphere influencers, ironically, are almost entirely made up of other people’s projections. They pine desperately for public attention, and are constantly conjuring up ways of getting more.
In Louis Theroux’s latest documentary, everyone is trapped in degrading roles, passive in the face of their own limbic systems — the streamers themselves; the half-naked OnlyFans girls straddling them for the camera; the liberal feminists and fat-positive influencers wheeled on to be horribly insulted; the viewers doing the slack-jawed scroll in their bedrooms, dreaming of having big channels one day too.
This urge to be famous starts young. For every massive streamer account, there are thousands of unknown ones made by children, where pre-pubescent wannabes film themselves gaming or reacting to videos.
In a parallel universe, boys like this grow up to have happily ordinary lives, unnoticed by the all-devouring algorithm. In this one, though, they get caught up in a freak show, dutifully becoming pitiful monsters.

✍️ Barrow AFC are delighted to announce the signing of experienced defender Angus MacDonald on a short-term deal until the end of the season, subject to league approval.
Welcome to Barrow, Angus! 💙
#WeAreBarrow
Understand that after Bolton loss, Green has turned down the offer put to him. Jules has acted fast (listened to @dukeroll) in contacting Taylor and he was back at training ground today in full ECFC tracksuit. Stay tuned for updates, back to @bradtheobald93 in the studio #ecfc
Caldwell would have gone there today with a back 7, concede 80% possession, not have a shot on target and get beat 1-0. Then come out and gaslight you for 10 minutes and make you think we were the better team. Thank god for Dan Green #ecfc
Exeter away! £30 on tickets, £50 on fuel, £20 on trains, £40 on drinks, £50 on food and £70 on a hotel room for the night! All to see us concede in the last minute again! Cheers @wwfcofficial 😭
@Jimbogg Great cup runs too, and some of class signings.
I didnt like the way he cast aside some of the academy players, but given how they have struggled after leaving Exeter, perhaps he was right.
GC was undoubtably lucky not to be fired during a couple of spells with us, but I think his finishing positions of 14th, 13th and 16th is enough for the board to be vindicated for sticking with him. Really good manager for us in my opinion #ecfc
