@TomChivers Is it the same person? Amanda MacAskill vs Amanda Askell?

predictably, if you actually read this piece, it's an argument against banning trophy hunting, not an argument for going out and killing all predators qz.com/497675/to-trul… the world is just so full of people who loudly misunderstand things for clout

@DaleJohnsonESPN Thanks.

@BunnAndrew Yep, the attack should always play through so the VAR is able to award a goal if there's been an error. Just like keeping the offside flag down.

A confusing one for the disallowed Celtic goal. But it would appear it was disallowed on the field, and upheld by the VAR. The referee doesn't make the VAR sign for the overturn (just points to the arm), and the players do not reset for a kick off.

@DaleJohnsonESPN If the ref disallowed the goal for handball on the pitch, was he correct to allow play to continue after the ‘handball’ rather than blow the whistle straight away?

This is basically another case of forensic analysis seemingly never awarding a goal. Forensic analysis with VAR usually seems to take away a goal, or support the decision to disallow a goal. And that's one of VAR's over-riding problems.

@lovetheturret Come on now

A Mo Salah hamstring tear would be glorious in the next 25 minutes or so

@lovetheturret Called it to be fair! 🤕

They just don’t want to risk Van Dijk thuggery

@BristOliver Thanks. Yes, odd to just seemingly accept the heavy defeat in the second half of the innings.

@BristOliver I assume this refers to England making a mistake against Aus, but other than get outplayed what did they do wrong? Or is it another nation not bothering to improve their NRR when they had a chance?

@JeffCarnage Might be about to get more lively!

Getting quite a bit of “I bet you’re fun at parties”. But I don’t get invited to parties, so the joke’s on them.

I think about @sarahmhird ‘s ‘Everyone poops 💩 But why?’ talk all the time. Simple message, lots of evidence, funny as hell youtu.be/6jGDPH5h_Mg

Teams shamelessly time wasting only to go on and lose the game may be my favourite thing ever.

NEW: the collapse of emergency healthcare in England may be costing 500 lives every week, a close match for non-Covid excess deaths Let’s look at how we reach that conclusion, by taking a deep-dive into non-Covid excess mortality and its possible causes ft.com/content/f36c5d…

To those/many saying "it's just summer" and similar, this is from all June/July/August days @UniRdg_Met observatory (10471 days [a few with instrument failures are removed]), I included the famous 1976, which keeps coming up. This is nowhere near "normal".

So funny

@andysilke It's amazing!

I genuinely cannot stop watching the official edit of North Korea’s latest missile test

@chilternrailway It's now been announced that operational issue was that the driver misread his schedule this morning and didn't realise they needed to stop!

@BunnAndrew Apologies, there was an operational issue which resulted in the train not stopping this morning. .

@chilternrailway what's going on this morning? 7:52 from Haddenham to Marylebone went past the platform at 7:49 while braking heavily. Stopped 50 metres down the track. Then kept going on and is shown as 'departed on time'??

this is extraordinary footage

It has been a hard week, so as a distraction from all of it here’s my favourite WTF British TV moments from 2021 ✨

A few thoughts on London hospital data. TL;DR: so far, there’s no obvious sign of a different severity profile for omicron cases (vs. our recent experience of delta), but it’s early days yet, and we need to keep watching this data very closely. 🧵

NEW: here’s a chart showing daily cases by specimen date in London, broken down by variant. This is what is coming to ~every country across the world in the coming weeks.
