Hello everyone! We just passed 5k followers, thank you. I’m not really used to doing giveaways, but here we are. To celebrate the milestone, I’m giving away this beautiful wool–cashmere overcoat made in England. Since people generally repost far less than they like, using reposts will naturally keep the number of entries lower. So if the measurements (see comments below) work for you and you’re interested, just repost this. I’ll pick someone at random tomorrow at the same time. Shipping is on me, just make sure you live somewhere with a functioning postal system. Thanks again for the support, Truly.

@DanAbrahams77 @SimonBrundish My guess would be that the catch is there to encourage the upper body dissociation/manipulation of velocity while maintaining the curvilinear run. I.e, moving at high speed whilst maintaining awareness of the wider game. During the action focus, rather than ending with a pass

I worked closely with Ruben and Leigh at Feyenoord. I’d be interested as to why Ruben isn’t supplying to feet (rather than hands) to increase ecological validity. Other than that…as you mention…curved runs with some cognitive load, rotation, upper body adaptations (?), and stopping? (My vague sport psych summation)

83% of running on a football pitch is “curved” So a fuck tonne of decisions are made whilst running in a curve This is the best training video we have seen

I know this will be a firestorm topic WNBA players currently receive just 9.3% of the leagues revenue(this includes ticket sales, merch, TV deals) for reference their male counterparts in the NBA is 50.0%. This resulted in their salary cap being set at just 1.507 million for this year(less than half of Joe Ingles 3.634M) In theory if they received even 40% of the leagues revenue that salary cap would be at 6.481 M. That increase would mean roster expansion could occur, players could theoretically still make 3x their current salary and owners would still bring in 60% of the revenue. Now to put that into perspective, that still means an entire WNBA roster would be paid less than Rob Dillingham will make in 2025-26(6.576M) —————————— Now yes, the WNBA did lose 40 million dollars in 2024, but this is in large part due to the TV deal they are currently signed to, which in 2026 goes from roughly 45 Million annually to 200 Million annually. This will result in essence result in the league making money over night from losing 40 to a net gain of 115M just on the TV deal alone. Even if the game and tickets sales were to stop growing, and merch stopped selling, it would still be in the green. The current CBA would amount to players going from 1.507M in salary cap to just 4.0 M… a substantial raise however it would cost the league just 2.5 M out of that 115M TV deal profits. If the players got 40%, that’s just 17.204M as a salary cap… a 11x raise over their current salaries, and still in the grand scheme of things less than 1 Jaden McDaniels(24.393M) ——————— The league is built on players whether you’re a CC, Aja, or Phee fan they deserve to get a bigger slice of the pie for the work they all have put in, and as the revenue grows, they should as well. The WNBA players are not asking to be paid dollar for dollar what the NBA players make, from what I understand they just want a fair share of the revenue. Now let’s enjoy some hoops.

Lucy Bronze on how she decided to blast her penalty down the middle (and score). “Statistically it’s risky for the goal keeper to stand still… so yeah, I love maths”.

This interview with @TomBaldwin66 draws out the private Starmer that those of us who follow him about and see when the camera isn’t rolling & he’s not in public view. He is, of all the PMs I have covered the most ‘ordinary’ and down-to-earth & yet the public perception of him is often that he’s posh, lofty, out of touch. I think one of the most revealing segments about Starmer is that he delayed his family holiday - his first in a year after that mad election period & early days of govt - to go to to Leeds clean out his brother Nick’s home after he died from cancer, throwing away the rotting food from the fridge, picking up dirty clothes and cleaning out the bath & loo. Why didn’t he get a cleaner in? “I didn’t want anyone else there. He was my brother – I didn’t want to let him down.” t.co/V2L744CaWy

hahahaha what - £25k a year to not pay tax if you are a billionaire or multi millionaire. That's a similar amount of tax that you pay if you earn about £85k–£90k/year Man of the billionaires

Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR). Quick thread:

The thing about "the UK’s tax burden is now at a record high", is that this is also true for almost all countries 📈

The Washington Post is the paper which broke Watergate. It won a Pulitzer for coverage of January 6th. For the Washington Post to refuse to endorse a candidate because it fears retribution from Trump is an enormous flashing red sign that the country is on the brink of fascism.
