Coping with this unfamiliar sense of elation by refusing to believe that this (instead of the eight or so other half-decent performances that might have also looked like one) is the Turning Point that United have been waiting for under Amorim.

For reasons that would take too long to explain, I had access to Sky Sports this weekend so could watch the LlV-MUN match with micro g. It meant we got to see the MOTD thing of them only showing a defender jogging up for a corner if he's going to score IN REAL TIME.

They had to leave early as the trains back to Surrey were buggered, but Isobel was still buzzing about it when we finally picked her up after a sleepover at the friend with the tickets' house and then a full day of DofE the next day.

Hold up, hold up, hold up. Which night were you at the O2? Your niece was in attendance on Friday when a friend's mum decided it was going to be too much of a late night for her little sister.

Not to make this about any one person or individual or anything 👀 , but can I just check if short kings are still allowed?

everybody’s jealous of me since I decided to get plastic surgery to have Cuttlefish skin. they‘re resentful because I camouflage myself as a brick wall or a gorseberry bush in order to steal their croissants off their plates at cafes. I’ve never felt so beautiful

This is the one for me. I realise it was largely decisions that were made in the Bernie era, but having your product hidden behind a very high pay wall during a cost of living crisis is surely a better explanation for why the YT highlight packages are so popular.

This sort of thing may be front-of-mind because of my recent brush with the world of Atlus RPGs, but is it just me or does the latest Wolf Alice single sound like something from the Persona 4 soundtrack?

Milei. Musk. Reform. Simply loving these politically-illiterate, business-brained idiots barging into positions of responsibility and discovering that, after a decade-plus hangover of post-2008 global cost cutting, you can't simply slash & burn without doing significant harm.

Was out and about so had to listen along on the radio: When the ball was sent in from a corner and there was a loud cheer, I just assumed Sunderland had scored but no, was just the Old Trafford crowd recognising some competent keeping...

Doc MUFC @docmufc.bsky.social · 16d

Also...a good debut for Lammens. A couple of very minor wobbles but, again, he's made a visible impact with how solid he is. His high ball claims have been fairly simple but I cheered them almost like goals cos we've been starved of that for so long!!!

Doc MUFC @docmufc.bsky.social · 16d

My gosh! A keeper that comes out and claims a high ball safely!!!!

Littleg @callmelittleg.bsky.social · 17d

Tell you what, gaffer. If running away is out of the idea, how about you pace rapidly up and down your technical area looking cross, as if it's someone else's fault that your vastly-expensively assembled squad has just been outwitted by a manager in his first senior role?

Littleg @callmelittleg.bsky.social · 17d

That's odd, because I'm pretty certain that the fans would like to run away from the last year's results.

I love this. The purest essence of Kemi - incredibly wrong, bizarrely belligerent about it, and also wrong in a way where you just go “have you considered reading anything other than your Twitter feed?”

The not-quite-correction is really funny. “A lot” rather than “a majority”.

It's truly insane that it's legal to go "I'm going to spend $50 billion dollars to buy this company. Do I have $50 billion dollars? No, the company I'm buying is going to take out a big loan"

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 21d

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

Just in case the UK's visa system wasn't complicated enough already, we've now invented compulsory volunteering for an extra added frisson of Kafka-ness. All in a desperate attempt to appease the un-appeasable.
