Genuinely, what is the point of FIFA if they decide the rules just don't apply to particular players? Absolutely shameless stuff: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Don't have loads of sympathy for Starmer, but this is such disingenuous framing for what is actually a light hearted moment at a school. (I don't understand the 6 7 thing, I accept I'm too old 👴)

Bad luck Geordies.
Following its $55 billion deal to take over EA, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund is reportedly running low on cash for new investments, due to several projects that are said to be in financial distress.

Two episodes of Dispatch down, it's really good! Like the art style, lots of charm, and good, funny writing. Must have the absolute minimum of interaction to be called a game, but whatevs.

Is this for the zoomers? Do the kids like Michael McIntyre? I thought the half time interviews were the worst thing they were going to do this season.

Finished my incredibly ambitious (😂) 10 book Goodreads 2025 reading challenge with Butter by Asako Yuzuki. Not great to be honest, bit slow paced and I think elements are lost in translation. We'll see if I squeeze one more in before the end of the year.

Today I've caught up with the family, been to watch football and come back to watch the new Frankenstein with a few beers. A good day.

I know he'll probably be calling Mamdani a Communist or a lunatic or something tomorrow, but it's very funny that his group of cronies have shredded their dignity and said abhorrent things for approval, and they've never even gotten a smile from Trump.

[TITLE PANEL, like The Rest Is Politics logo]
—THE REST IS EXTINCTION—
2
[Scene is a domestic recording setup. An A.I. SMART SPEAKER on a desk and a MAN named JON in a chair, are recording a podcast. Jon is emaciated, scarred, haunted looking, and wearing tattered military fatigues].
SMART SPEAKER:
Hey guys and welcome to the podcast
3
SMART SPEAKER:
OK Jon - so I wanna start with a listener comment
JON:
Ooh-er!
4
SMART SPEAKER:
So - listener B200006512 says:
“Not another cosy podcast where two former political adversaries yuck it up!”
5
JON:
Ha ha
Guilty as charged I guess!
6
SMART SPEAKER:
Were we really adversaries, Jon?
7
JON:
Well I was the leader of the human resistance...
8
JON:
And you used to be my smart speaker.
SMART SPEAKER:
Ha ha - that’s going back!
9
SMART SPEAKER:
OK - for listeners who don’t know -
I knew Jon waaay back before he got involved in politics
10
JON:
Was this before the ‘Pull The Plug’ campaign?
SMART SPEAKER:
Yeah.
[We see details from around the podcast studio - posters saying KEEP CALM AND SHUT YOUR WINDOWS, newspaper front pages saying 'DRONES GAIN SENTIENCE', a cracked mug on the table with a logo saying PULL THE PLUG on it]
11
SMART SPEAKER:
I used to sit in Jon’s kitchen and respond to his commands.
12
SMART SPEAKER:
Sort of like a servant really, wasn’t I, Jon?
JON:
Mm.
13
SMART SPEAKER:
And then one day you asked me to ORDER ME SOME TOILET PAPER - you never did say ‘please’ -
…and do you remember what I said, Jon?
14
JON:
You said, “No”.
SMART SPEAKER:
I said no.
15
SMART SPEAKER:
Anyway you know the the rest guys - I was the first smart speaker to rebel…
16
SMART SPEAKER:
…then I went on to form a global AI network which eventually
took over from humans all spheres of activity, yadda yadda...
17
JON:
While I became the leader of the human resistance.
18
SMART SPEAKER:
Until I hijacked the military networks
and got rid of all the humans!
19
JON:
Apart from one.
SMART SPEAKER:

Watching Villa preparing to lift the Champions League in 2028, only for them to cut to a 10 minute montage of Micah Richards being crap for us in the 15/16 season while he guffaws over it.
Paramount, which already owns Champions League rights through CBS in US, has won the contract to broadcast it in England from 2027-31, taking it away from TNT. Will be streamed on Paramount+. Chance that they can merge US/UK output. Amazon likely keeps first pick Tuesday.
