Been living in London for ~20 years and it still blows my mind that, up and down the country, you can talk to a local and they'll feel no compunction in telling you what a shithole London is while you have to smile and tell them how lovely you find their mud puddle.

There was huge commitment on the goal line and on the scramble, but that seems more about heart than the famed Nienaber defence. I'm sure at some point someone like Squidge will explain it to me

I didn't watch the match live so think I got to enjoy it more than everyone else. What is really bugging me is what our defence is up to. In 24/25 it was a very rigid blitz, clear as day and easy to understand. Apart from quite ineffective, what is our defence now?

No Porter, Furlong, Slimani or Boyle for the front row is pretty scary. No RG, Lowe, Ringrose either. That is a weaker bench than I could possibly have guessed. At least the ref is <checks notes> ....Carley.

Has our squad been hit with the squits or something? That is such a weak selection for this game.

Don't think I could have endured two hours in the Aviva in that weather if we'd been up against toulouse.

If you follow this argument through to its logical conclusion there should be a UK Government channel on pornhub.
Cabinet Office Minister Baroness Anderson tells the Lords the Government will keep on using X.
"I still believe that X is an appropriate platform to use because I believe in freedom of speech..."
"It is incredibly important that there is a counter narrative on those platforms," she says.

This appeared on the BBC News today, showing the increase in solar electric generation in the UK.
Not sure who produced it, but genuinely think this is a genius piece of scientific communication - the construct and choice of colour scale is near-perfect.
Chapeau!

Someone who a) writes for a living b) on politics, and he can't parse this, wtf.
But can anyone tell me what this bit means? “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.”

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Yeah there's a push (Leinster budget cuts) and a pull (Lancaster) that's going to see connacht pick up some good players.

I'm not sure it is even regular game time that's the problem, he's played in about 85% of Leinsters games this season. It is a) game time in b) a consistent position that c) isn't fullback.
