The second edition of my book, Imperfect Recollections, is now out in the world. Thank you to everyone who has supported and contributed to the Imperfect Recollections project over the years. It has been a pleasure to write for you once again. Link here: amzn.in/d/gjSXCzH

My grandfather built The Dungeon on heart and grit and finding out who could get knocked down and get back up. I love being able to carry forward what he started with a new generation. 🖤

Leeds playing Smooth Criminal after beating Michael Jackson, interim manager of Burnley, is exceptional sh*thousery 😂

👏 A massive thank you to the 34,000 #LUFC fans that joined us at Wembley today, your support was sensational as always!

Less than 90 minutes of wrestling on a 4-hour show. Says it all, really.

@udupendra There's four that Travis Head hit over midwicket on 19 November 2023 that I remember like yesterday but everyone else seems to have blocked out...

The last six I properly remember is Kohli's near impossible one against Rauf where he redefined "hitting on the up"

This ‘could of’ crisis needs to end. We need a lockdown to put everyone in English classes. It’s gone too far.

They've started bursting crackers here already. Fair enough, tbh. #INDvNZ

Finally, someone put international conflict into terms I can understand

It’s literally the exact opposite of this. Kids who pass off foundational cognitive tasks like memorization to AI will be lost in an ocean of people just like them, all powerless to think their own thoughts, dependent on bad mechanical imitations of mental acts they have no capacity to perform or judge for themselves. They’ll grow up into glazed-over subaltern dupes at the mercy of machinists who view them as little more than farm animals to milk for training data. You could hardly do a worse disservice to a young person right now than to empty out the contents of their soul and strip them of the mental armor that only a rigorous literary education can provide. And all in the name of some gullible claptrap about humanity and tech that wouldn’t stand up to five minutes’ scrutiny if the people peddling it and swilling it down had ever read a single thing worth reading. We had all better snap out of this kookery right the heck now or we’re cooked, fam.

Sir Oink A-Lot only getting 546 less votes than the Tory Party is hilarious They are fucking finished

It's hard to like him in any meaningful way after the events of the last six months but this has been a real 'there are levels to this shit' innings from Harry Brook. The number of contemporary cricketers who have a batting engine better than his is in the small single digits.

Kate Scott has absolutely nailed it. Every word is spot on.

Just got off the phone with Dorrell Dixon, today is his 92nd birthday (his daughter just sent me this picture.) It is so amazing to hear his voice, to be able to listen to his stories, the man is a damn treasure in every way possible. The last living person who wrestled on the show where Bruno Sammartino beat Buddy Rogers (he was the main event that evening, following Bruno vs Buddy as him and Bobo Brazil fought Brute Bernard and Skull Murphy). He had gone to Mexico before this match and fell in love with the country, and later made it his home, being one of the greatest to compete in Arena Mexico and El Toreo de Cuatro Caminos. He would retire and continue to live in Puebla, preaching the gospel as a Seventh Day Adventist, where he still resides today.

@KirstyLUFC Enjoy it, Kirsty! 🙌🏼

On my way to Elland Road and feeling weirdly emotional... First time I'm watching Leeds in the Premier League in well over 20 years 🤍 #lufc

Talk about putting yourself on a pedal stool

Great night to retweet this.

"Two weeks ago, after Kolkata Knight Riders ripped up Mustafizur Rahman's contract, Bangladesh enjoyed quite widespread sympathy even in India. Their attempts to indulge in tit-for-tat brinkmanship with the ICC have now blown up in their face." cricketetal.com/p/bangladesh-o…

A trainwreck of a defensive innings by New Zealand there but Jacob Duffy's underlying numbers looked reasonably durable? Didn't see that happening in these conditions at all. Now, on to the 'survivors will be shot again' portion of this match.
