A viral track repeating just two words,“Yanis Varoufakis,” is spreading across Russia's clubland.
Created by a Moscow DJ, the tune has taken off among zoomers, with critics linking its appeal to a revival of 90s/early 2000s techno. The irony is that most listeners likely have no idea who @yanisvaroufakis is, they just like the rhythm of the name.

@StickToCricket The season hasn’t even started yet and we’re laying into county game…

Oh how it is good to be back in March... 👀
What's the saying? Don't go back? 🫣

@DoctorPerin Mental illness is still treated by those, just not through legal pathways 👀
English
I recommend people read Freud. I also recommend people read more than just Freud. He wrote in the horse and buggy era when mental illness was treated with cocaine and vibrators.

Before I entered into my own clinical training, I once asked my analyst, “what is the difference between ‘psychodynamic’ and ‘psychoanalytic’? And why is it that so many seem to prefer ‘psychodynamic’?” She replied, “Some people try to get as far away from Freud as they can.”

@DoctorPerin Are cognitive distortions not just the path to defences?

CBT developed out of the ego psychology branch of psychoanalysis. It is absurd to think that there are walls around these camps that separate them entirely from each other.

I spoke to a homeless chap outside of @LeicesterTigers today, who explained that he always begs on a match day. Last week a man bought him coffee then wheeled him into stadium hospitality, fed him, bought him some clobber and made him felt seen. Turns out it was a team member…

Both Rishi & Sol retired at lunch, allowing Dutchy and Hilly to take to the crease.
The pair have started well, with both scoring boundaries. 👊

Justice for Gus Atkinson! I think this is fine, it is just cricket. Situations in recent history like Johnathan Trott’s should warn us about the dangers of having the opposite mindset

@rugbyexpansion @OliveOL_98 Agreed, French/Irish/British fans would flock to Spain, especially that time of year. If the government give it full backing then it could work! The infrastructure there is great too.
English
@_AlexBPsych @OliveOL_98 You’re probably right and they won’t do back-to-back europe.
What I would say is that Spain might not be such a financial risk. In Sept-Nov it’d be a huge, huge draw for tourists from both europe and South america. I think it could be a huge hit.

Argentina want to host the 2035 World Cup with co-hosts Uruguay, Chile, and Brazil. A move that would surely supercharge the sport in South America.
This and Spain split between 2035 and 2039 would be unbelievably, unbelievanbly good.

@OliveOL_98 @rugbyexpansion I suspect England will probably get the 2035 edition given the financial risks of 2031. Which would likely rule Spain out for 2039 and world rugby would never go to South America in its current guise.
English
@rugbyexpansion @_AlexBPsych England or Japan would at least somewhat make sense.
UAE would be bonkers.

Was that supposed to scare us? 😂
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC
Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.

Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you’ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. chinatalk.media/p/its-time

@mattgretton1 @LeicesterTigers It was an altruistic act so I’ve deliberately not named the person, but still it’s a person I already thought a lot of but even more now!
